FRIDAY. OCTOBER .. 1885.
Prohlbitory Laws.

During electioneering canvSsses II
has become the fashion to indulge in
"a great amount of loose talk about pro
hibitory liquor laws. They are de.
nounced as ''sumptuary" laws, con-
~d.mned as utterly impractible, and q
brought into requisi'ion in opposing
laws against liquor selling rs a bever-
age III point of fact, every law is pro,
Rhibitory in theory and none in practice.
The laws against theft, gambling.
murder, etc.. are al prohibitory, UT
all of those crimes are daily committed.
Because the laws do not totally abolish
is this valid reason for their repeal,
and in their stead enact a high licen, Q
law, which should grant privilege to
certain passionate and light fingered
,eople. immunity from punishment
for breaking peoples heads, or reliev-
ing them of their goods under certain
well defined restrictions? This would
be very foolish, every one will say, but
do not the advocates Of high liquor Ii.
cense advise this very thing? They all
admit that liquor selling and drinking
are grevious wrongs against society,
hut because the laws forbidding it's sale
are not absolutely obeyed, they should
he abolsh The same reasoning can
be applied to all laws against crime.
One Of the strongest arguments In
favor of local option, or prohibitory
liquor laws, is the mora! effect ID works
upon the community. All admitted
offences against the peace and order Of
society which are under the ban of law,
grow more repugnant TO the moral
sense of the rising generation, and the
spirit to enforce such laws is continual
w strengthening. On the other hand,
every pernicious practice that is coun.
tepanced and encouraged by law,
granting it special privileges, chal-
lenges the respect of the rising genera
ton. The young are educated to rev
erance ahd obey law, and whatever is
leealized is bound to challenge and
and claim a degree Of respect in their
eyes
These laws against liqnor traffic are
very crude and imperfect, and only
partially effective, but this is no reason
for their total abolition. but being
founded in justice, and right in princi-
pie, let them be amended and perfected
as the sentiment in their favor becomes
stronger.
The retail trade in liquor is not SIM
My trade confined to buy ing and sell
ing, but it is cover for multitude OF
other crimes. When men are drunk
they are incapable of taking care of
