was called to order by }. w. Nj .Cullough,
Who appointed Prof. Bechtel to the char.

then introduced and made most power
tul and pathetic appeal to her audience in
favor OF total ponlbition She was lis
tened too with GREATNESS silence aud
profound attention from the beginning to
the close of her address. Mrs. Martin
was followed by Thomas Waring who
gave the conclusion of the speech he had
prepared for the previous meeting, held
"a week before i'll the same place. His
address was cain and dlspasslonate, but
logical and convincing. and well pleasing
to the majority of his hearers. IL is con-
tidently believed that the old Sixth
will roll up a handsome majority for total
prohibition III November.

High License a Fallacy.
RISING SIN Sent. eth 1886

RISING Sun, Sept. 9Th, 1856.
Mr.. EDIToR:-The friends of the High
License system, or rather | should say
the opponents of prohibition, insist with
an immense deal of pertinacity, that the
people of Cecil county should adopt par
tial prohibition i'll the shape of High Lii
cense, instead of absolute prohibition, in
the shape of the proposed prohibitory
bill soon to be submitted to the qualified
voters of this county. Now. Mr. Editor,
both sySte ms are intended as remedies
for the evils of the liqur traffic. But
what reason is there for believing that
the High License would cure anyone of
these evils?
1t would concentrate the legalized traf-
iic in fewer hands but those who CON
tlolleG it would have to Day higher for
the privilege than is paid in the aggre-
gate under the present system; couse-
quently they would have to that extent
a greater Involvement to increase the
amount sold. There is no reason to be-
lieve that the average character of drink
ing houses would be better than now.
True, the proprietorS would perhaps be
men of more means, or at least able to
command more, but this is no proof that
they would keep better houses, and Ger
tainly is no evidence that less liquor
would be sold. Possibly there would be
fewer drinking houses kept; hence argue
the advocates of High License, there
would be less drinking. But this is not
certain. The inducement 10 increase the
sales would be greater than it is now,
| aud every device would be made use of
to accomplish that purpose. Under such
circumstances it is easy to see that the
consumption OF liquor might be increased
rather than diminished.
The preteuse that under High License
the proprietors of legalized drinking
places would see that unlicensed places
were broken up will not hold water This
is one of the pleas that its advocates
greatly rely on, but there is no real
foundation for it. 1t is to the interest of
all licensed vendors under existing law
that persons selling without license
should be punished. Yet it is fact,
well known to all persons " no have gwen
any attention to the subject, that they
are the last class of people to counter
auce movement for the execution of
the law. The reason is plain. The let
ter of the law is not observed 10y any
liquor seller. The best of them fears to
ask that the law be executed, lest he be
the next victim.
So it would be under High License.
People who want to mitigate the evils of
the liquor traffic have two courses to pur-
sue. The better is to insist on absolute
Prohibition, and when they procure the
passage of such a law, to use all their
moral and political influence to have it
executed. "B'
