Prohibition net Unconstitutional

In view of the decisions of the courts,
Federal and State, it is very wonderful that
any one should claim that prohibition is
unconstitutional.
We give few referenoes:-
In the case of Foster vs.. Kansas, 112 U.
8 .2O5, this language is used:
IA State law prohibiting the manufac-
ture and sale of Intoxicating liquors is not
repugnant to the constitution OF the United
States"
In the case of Bartemeyer vs.. Iowa Is
Wall, 1879, this is the language used:
"The usual and ordinary legislation of
the States, regulating or prohibiting the
sale of Intoxicating liquors, raises no ques-
tion under the Constitution of the United
States.
The right TO sell Intoxicating liquors is
not one of the privileges and immunities of
the citizens of the United States, which, by
the 18th amendment to the U. 8. Constitu-
ton, the States were forbidden to abridge."
The extracts given above are from the
decisions of the Supreme Court of the
United States.

The Question in q Nutshell.

1t should not take person long to de-
eide how he should vote in the election
next Saturday, if he wishes to vote as his
conscience dictates, and as Pope says
"What conscience dictates to be done,
Or warns me not to do,
This teach me more than hell to shun,
That more than heaven pursue.''
1t simply requires, first, to decide by judg-
ment and observation, if not by sad expe-
rience, whether the licensing Of the sale OF
spirits is productive of more harm than
good. If of more good than harm, then
vote for it; but if of more harm than good,
then vote against it, for if you do so, you
will be acquitted of all responsibility for
whatever evil may result from it; but if
you vote for it, you will be responsible to
that extont for the evil that may result
If you vote against it, your conscience will
acquit you of all blame, it matters not
what the results may be-if you vote for it,
and evil should result from it, your con-
science will be your accuser, and no plea
will avail against its accusation. 1t does
not require that you should think long, but
that you should think we'll before you de-
eide how you will vote.
In the one case you can have no fears Of
an accusing conscience-in the other you
risk, and will most probably incur its con.
domination, and feel the keen thrust of itf
scorpion sting. When immunity from
danger and peace of mind are so easily Sc.
cured, why court danger and the lashings
of an accusing conscience? The one course
is positively and absolutely safe-the othe,
is fraught with danger. The wise mar
will choose the safe course.
