The liquor dealers argument: "Pro-
hibition don't prohibit; therefore,
don't pass a prohibitory law for it will
destroy our business!''
Did you ever think who is back of
the saloon keepers license! Who is in
part, responsible for liquor being sold
to minors!
Perhaps the w. G. T. U. women are
rather one sided in their arguments
mind | don't say they are), but who
can wonder when they are looking at
the home side instead OF the saloon
side of the question.
High license will close half the sa-
looms"
What of it! High license does not
take the appetite away from half the
drinkers in the community. Conse-

High license will close the low
doggeries."

gospel gives your boy drink and it pro-
duces drunkenness and death, you will
not bewail his loss, will youl No, you
will merely thank God that your boy
died at the hands of a most respecta-
BILE member of society. The boy S
mother won't look at it in that light.
An angel from Heaven might sell IL
and it would still be that "invisible
spirit of wine" which Shakespeare
having no better name concluded to
call devil" and nothing which is dew
llish can have any responsibility about
It.

God gave Moses his prohibitory
laws and sent him dorm from the
mountain to bring the people atP to
those laws.
