Shall We Tax or Kill II:

BY MRS. NJ. &. HICKMAN.
Shall We allow men to kill on condition
they help pay the funeral expenses. or shall
we prohibit murder?
Senator Sherman said, This traffic goes
on i'll open day, and by night. filling our
poor houses, jails, and penitentiaries, and
increasing the expenses Of our courts and
police. No one doubts all this. The
question is. ''Shall this traffic be allowed
to go on doing this work. with the under
standing it pays a little something for the
privilege, or shall the traffic be prohib-
tied? ."
If the saloon keepers filled the iails and
p~enitentiaries with their OWN precious per
SONS it would be IA subject of small conse-
quencr, but if they are to fill them with our
own sons, and husbands, and fathers. self
defence requires us to protest.
When the general good and tile financial
interests of a few GOMEZ in contact. the tinan-
cial interests of the few must Weld.
Taxing the traffic acknowledges theiniury
it does to property, but fails to remedy the
much greater evil the traffic. whethertaxed
or untaxed, does to manhood and woman
hood everywhere. The sufierings endured
by fathers and mothers. by innocent wo-
men and children, and by drunkards them
selves, must still continue all over the land
though the traffic be taxed. Prohibition
is the only remedy for this. Have we not
all suffered enough already to want it?
The pilot of an Ohio river steamboat was
once a little under the influence of whisky
hardly drunk. The boat was crowded
with happy excursionists The pilot, with
his brain muddled by whisky. mistook
the signal of an approaching boat. The
vessels collided, and scores were drowned.
How could taxing or any legislative regu-
lation remedy the evils resulting in this
case?
suppose both the pilot and saloon keeper
who sold him the whisky should be hung.
That would not diminish. but only widen.
the circle of suffering. This could not r.
store the dead to life. nor wipe the fears
from the eyes of the bereaycd. nor provide
for the widows and orphans of those left
destitute.
\ few years since a drunken man shot
his brother, an excellent man and a rood
citizen. The authorities might send the
murderer 70 prison or hang him. To do
tins would cost taxpayers thousands of
dollars, and crush his poor old mother
Without whisky the one brother miobt
have been as honorable and useful n man
as the other, instead of being the deSnised
vagabond he was.
\ drunkard is a milestone about fine
neck of any family or community. Instead
of marching forward in the PATHS Of pros.
perity and honor he starts towards inf, nv
and disgrace, and pulls with all bis mirht
all that belongs to him in the same diract
ION. Can any nation prosper that allows
its citizens to be thus enfeebled and 1as-
troyed? To remedy the evils of the liouor
traffic is beyond the power of any human
observation-disclosures HeraYd.
