The Devil Quoting Scripture.

Section forty six of Article six of
the Constitution, says: Claws may
be passed regulating or prohibit
ing the sale of intoxicating liquors
within the limit5 of this State"
Now if the alleged friends of prohi-
bition are sincere in their procla-
nations and declarations from the
housetops that the sale Of inUoxl-
cants shall cease, let them stop
their clan or and enact a law TO
that effect. Wheeling Req 'stor.
That reminds us of the DEVILS
experiences in quoting Scripture
The friends Of Prohibition are
quite familiar with the text, above
quoted from the Constitution, and
are well aware that any effort to
follow the Registers advice and
''enact a law to that effect" would
meet the combined opposition of
the saloons, the Register and the
Devil, and it is hardly probable
they will go to any Of these for ad-
vice, while it is very certain they
will not stop their righteous clam

when it rccklessly SPRINGS into the

strong public sentiment back Of it.
They have many more opinions
and theories, but these are about
all the facts they seem to establish !,
the first of which the friends of the
cause are glad to recognize, and
the other three they candidIy ad-
nit.
Neutral observers bear about the
same testimony as the two other
classes combined.
Ia making up our verdict we
must conclude
First, That Prohibition is sue
cessful where public sentiment
supports it.
Second, That it is successful in
the great majority Of localities
where tried,
Third, That it is a failure in
some large cities and other local
ties for lack of public sentiment to
enforce it.
Fourth, That in q great number
OF localities there are violations OF
the Prohibitory laws.
Fifth, That the more Prohibi-
ton is tried the more it succeeds.
Hence, the full verdict must be,
that Prohibition is a successful
method of dealing with the liquor
traffic.
Such a verdict the people of
Maine gave last Fall with regard
to the working of the law in that
State. For thirty years they had
been receiving evidence pro and
con. And then they marched up
to the polls and said, prohibition
is a success for our State and we
hereby put it in our Constitution"
They proved the law, found it
good, and so held it fast. On the
supposition that Prohibition is a
failure in Maine, there is no ex-
PLANTATION of the course of the pee
pie in adopting it into their con
stitution. Their action proclaims
it a 8uccess. Their verdict is one
which cannot be set aside.
The same verdict is taoitly given
by the majority of the people of
West Virginia every year. Over
forty counties have tried Prohibi-
ton by refusing the privilege Of
selling Liquor within their bounds,
The great majority Of them have
continued to refuse license for q
greater Or less numb of years.
If this method of Prohibition prov
ed failure, they could return to
license at any time. But their 81
lent verdict is that their enc
license method is q success, and
they want no legaiized dram-ehops.
The people Of West Virginia
have ali the evidence they want.
They are prepared afser a brief
summing up to give positive,
outspoken verdict at the polls. 1t
is time for our Legislature to sub
