should also ask to be shielded from that
other and higher law, Thou shalt not

Now, let me say to you: l am emphat-
ically in favor Of enforcing all law-right
or wrong. 1t is the only safety OF our
form of government. Let me also say:
l am not a friend of the liquor trofic.
l would sweep it from the earth had l
the power. l may not believe in all
things as you do. l may not have 30
much faith in force. l might have more
faith in a quiet work among
the weak and tempted, and
less faith in fireworks, beating of drums,
and loud-sounding, meaningless resolu.
tons; more faith in the laws of God,
and less in the laws of men. l may
lieve believe more in the force of kind
ness and brotherly love, and less in jails
and penitentiaries; more in performing
my W duty, and less in looking after
the duties of others. l believe we can
differ in our methods, and still both
reach heaven. ! believe a man can be
an honest man and a good citizen, and
still not believe with either you or my
self.
Now, Mrs. McClenon, temperance is a
grand thing; but did you ever stop to
think that it is but one OF the negative
virtues? Simply the abstaining from
one sin. There is a long list of other sins
to abstain from, and a long list of posi-
tive virtues to cultivate. God would
not have made ten commandments il
one had been sufficient. The devil is
attacking us in a good many different
ways. Let's not let the old fellow de-
ceive us by being SO intent in guarding
against him at n point only that we
leave all the doors and windows open for
him to come in elsewhere.

To Mrs. r. B. McClenon, Editor of the
W. @. T. q. Column of The Daily
Leader.

MADISON, S. d., June Is, 1996.-Mrs. r.
B. McClenon: Madam read your ar
ticle in The DAILY LEADER of the 18th
inst, in reference to the trial of Dan
kilroy before me, charged with selling
intoxicating liquors contrary to law.
You state therein, in substance, that l
used my official position to shield GRIM
mails from justice" and gave an official
decision whereby lawbreakers escaped
merited punishment" and tried to per-
petuate the sale of intoxicating drinks
in our midst"
You wrote this article and had it pub.
lished for a purpose; you expected and
desired the whole community to read il
and believe it. You knew il it was be.
lieved it would sink me as a citizen and
an official beneath the contempt of the
lowest vagabond on our streets. You
knew it would injure my family, and
embitter every hour Of their lives.
That article is either true or false. If
true, l would remove to some distant,
isolated spot where l would never again
see the face of man. If false. then it is
a SANDER and a libel. | cannot believe
that you would deliberately write what
you knew to be false. If 80, you would
not be a safe person to live in any COM
munity. Every family would be at the
mercy of your slanderous tongue, and
poisonous pen. l prefer to think that
you wrote that article from misinforma.

action in that case. To do SO would be
an acknowledgment that there was
something to explain. l shall not sacri-
flee my self respect by doing SO. l stand
upon the defensive, as a person charged
with a crime has a right to do. Now, l
call upon you to prove the charges as
made, or l ask you as a lady and a
Christian to retract them.
Let me say to you, that the respect of
my neighbors and fellow citizens is as
dear to me a it can be to you. The
pleasures of youth with me are gone. l

but little left for me but the approval OF
my conscience, the society and affection
Of my family, and the confidence and
good will Of my neighbors and associates.
The latter do crave as the only solace
OF my few remaining years. Now, you
would rob me Of these. You would ever
teach the children to point their fingers
at me as they pass, and say, There goes
the man who, in his official position,
shields criminals from justice!"
Neither the Almighty nor the laws OF
the land made you my Judge or placed
my reputation at your disposal. You
have tried to rob me Of all I possess
Now, l ask you to give it back or prove
your statement.

more heinous crime than selling intoxi.
