under The license $, stem? Certainly not.
No sane man would ask such IA question.
Again is not the Local Option law fail
ure? No, it has accomplished great good
considering it is a law virtually without
a penalty. All laws are more OF less
failures. Aud lastly. What assurance
have we that the amended Prohibitory
law will prove more etficient?" We have
every reason to think it will be. 1t is
more stringent in its provisions and is
backed by growing sentiment all over
the county in favor of prohibition. Re-
spectacle men of all political parties favor
its adoption. Aud now as remedy for
the gigantic evil of intemperance, our
motto is, the total prohibition of the man
ufacture and sale of intoxicants as a
drink, not only in Cecil county, but in
every State and county in the Union.
Our cause is IA rig hteous one and although
we may be defeated at the coming cleo.
tion, and hear the '.jugwump's' exult-
ant howl we will not he dismayed. With
God, and the best men of everv cree d.
and the ladies with their hallowed int1u
snce on our side. We fancy we hear the
coming tread of the marshalled millions
that will sweep from earth's fair bosom
the blighting curse of the rum traffic. In
conclusion we will ask our learned bl other
one or two questions. Why was it few
years ago under thelicense system thatthe
people of Cecil county asked for IA L,ca
Option law by an almost unanimous vote?
And do YOU believe the Bible to he book
of Divine origin? And il so-Why.
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1886-10-09

THE following conversation suggests
to every reflective man course of in
dividual conduct on the liquor question,
at once manly and worthy of example A.:
1t occurred in Elkton.
"Have you been an occasional or
habitual drinker of intoxicating liquors
Eyes, l have been frequent l may
say an habitual drinker of almost all
kinds of liquors. have kept them in
my house, and frequently drink at
public bars"
"Allow me to ask you how you in
tend to vote this fall. Will you vote
for the High License law, or for the
more stringent Prohibitory law
"I shall vote for the Prohibitory
law"
Why, so, if you are what would be
generally called drinking man?
"Simply because l regard Rum as an
unmitlgated evil in this country, the
temptation to use which so many men
cannot resist. l believe it to be duty
l owe society, to assist in Kidding it of
so prolific source of crime, sorrow,
and misery"
Then in being deprived of the means
OF indulging your appetite for intoxi-
cants, which you think you have under
safe control, you don't plead the ''baby''
act, by denouncing Prohibition as a
sumptuary law, or one which abridges
your personal liberty?
Certainly not, every man is in duty
bound and should for the sake Of all,
make some concession to society in this
matter OF individual rights, and 1 don't
know any direction in which man can
do his fellow-man more good than by
removing so common an enemy to the
human family as Rum"

Now, lest you think we speak

Irish, then Dresden. The Irish
begin where the Scotch leave
off. The finest Irish and Ores

the Irish are heavy, the Ores

of them later. We have them;

to-day.
