uors was an immoral act, and therefore u
crime against the church and the world.
The position of this order is, and always
has been, ''No license in any form or in
any circumstances for the sale of intoxi-
eating liquors to be used as beverage"
For no pecuniary considerable Al&es7T-,
/ ever great, would we consent to license
men to destroy the homes of the land.
| The payment Of a $500 or even So 900
| license fec cannot make an evil and i'm
moral business good and moral one
AS between high and low license, we
regard high license as far the most OBJ
| jectionable. The advantages claimed for
| high license are all decisions Instead of
| lesseniug the evils of the traffic, it tends
| to increase them. Instead of half loaf
! of good bread, it is verso than a stone.
| Instead of being step towards prohibi-
ton, it is step, and long one, too, in
the opposite direction.
High license does accomplish one result
that is claimed for it: it does increase the
revenue. But every additional dollar put
into the public treasury as the result of
high license places an additional obstacle
, in the way of the prohibition Of the liquor
traffic and renders our work more difficult
of accomplishment
Every Good Templar should see well to
it that he does not, either by word, act or
vote, do anything to favor the legalization
of the crime of granting o license for the
sale of alcoholic liquors, for by so doing
he becomes participation in the crime.
HOW WE SHOULD VOTE.
