Smyrna times., 1890-05-14

THE proceedings of the State Con-
vention of the Prohibitionists held
last week in Dover are given on our
first page except the resolutions which
are foul times as long as are usually
promulgated at such meetings. They
consist of twenty one declarations
pointing out as many things as evils
and naming as many remedies that
they would apply for their correction.
To this extent it was much more than
an effort to reform the great drink evil
and saddled itself possibly with two
heavy load to carry.
The evils growing out of the traffic
in liquor is no doubt greater than any
other now affecting the american peO-
pie, and cries aloud for redress. 1t
needs approaching in practical way,
not in utopian dreams and denuncia-
tiOns of all others who do not run in
the same sentimental groove-in II
word they must come down to things
as they are, compact the forces and
take a redoubt at a time if they havn't
the force to take more, and thus march
on from point to point and not expect
to compass the destruction of the whole
citadel with the blast of rams horn,
as was the case Thursday at Dover.
The very fact that the leaders who
precipitated this convention at this
early date, even before the call for the
election of delegates to those of the
great parties, considering that the en-
tire vote of the party at the last state
election was only about 400 evinced an
immodesty, (if politics has any mod
esty) that a well-trained, level-headed
politician would not have been guilty
of. The result is, that both the plat
form and the candidates fall fiat on the
people. The uniform expression oi
the press of the State is in this direc-
ton, and the finger of ridicule is thus
raised where it should have been a
God bless you" Perhaps the move
ment will yet place itself under more
practical leadership.
