THE LIQUOR LEAGUE IN POLITICS.

For centuries the fable of the viper that
stung the benevolent bucolic, who had taken
it to his bosom almost dead of cold, has been
held up as an illustration Of the meanest kind
of ingratitude. It teaches that; but it teaches
much more than that. Its most valuable
lesson is that a viper is a viper always, and is
true to its instincts, regardless of favors shown
or to be expected. and that the only proper
treatment of the venomous beast is to let it
alone if frozen, or kill it on sight. Now, the
system of '.boycotting," which the rum
power has to perfection, strikes all alike. Two
years ago, when Mr.. Cleveland was elected
Governor of New York by 1913, 900 plurality,
the liquor-sellers boycotted the Democratic
candidate for Secretary of State, and defeated
him, because, when a member Of the Legisla-
ture, he had given a vote on some measure
affecting the liquor traffic that was not just to
the liking of the lords of the toddy stick.
1t is a very grave matter for men of all par
ties to consider whether it is safe to nurture
in the bosoms of our American institutions so
un-American a viper as a traffic that thus stings
to death its benefactors on the least provoca-
ton. Must the first question to be settled
before the naming Of a candidate be, How
viii he please the Liquor Leaguef We are
sure that if the Methodist Church, or the
Baptist Church, or the railroad interest, or
the iron interest, or the Odd fellows, or the
Masons, should put forth such an edict, and
