The Liquor Traffic.

How to control the liquor traffic
and save men from the dire effects of
alchoholic stimulants, is engaging the
attention of many at this time. The
majority of the people are awake to
the magnitude of the evil. But
difference of opinion prevails in re-
gard to the best means of abating the
nuisance.
Some have though: that the traffic
could be largely curtailed by imposing
heavy taxes and high license on its
manufacture and sale. Others would
impose no restrictions upon either its
manufacture or sale in order that the
traffic would come into the hands of q
multitude of persons and thus take it
out of the hands of few wealthy
combinations which use a part of the
large profits to corrupt public officers
and control legislation.
Others again believe that the con-
sumption could be greatly curtailed by
anti-treat laws. That is by preventing
any one from buying or paying for any
liquors only for his own individual use.
Others believe that absolute prohibi-
ton of the manufacture and sale of
alchoholic liquors as beverage by
constitutional amendment is the only
adequate remedy. Some believe that
this can be best attained by SUBMIT
ing the proposition to all the people at
non-partizan election.
Others, like Miss. Willard think a
great moral prohibition party is the
only panacea for the evil. Others,
like your humble servant, believe that
the only practical solution is in edu-
eating the people, especially the rising
generation, to quit using the vile
compound.
/ will, if agreeable, discuss the ques-
ton as to the best and most practical
method of combating the evil with
any person who fayors any other plan,
than the last mentioned in a series of
short articles in the Journal, or with
any one who is disposed 10 defend the
liquor traffic. I. w. WOODS.

To legalize the saloons, we commence
at the polls with whisky ballot. And
it makes no difference whether it is
cast by a preacher, teacher, layman: or
thug; if it is in favor of whiskey
candidate, or rum-ruled party, it is a
whisky ballot just the same. Now this
whisky ballot being cast for a whisky
party gives us the whisky law, and the
whisky law gives us the whisky saloon,
see? Whisky ballot, whisky party,
whisky law, whisky saloon. That's
logic.
