Tax Payers. Notice"

NJ doubt many voters have re-
ceivcd Il circular with the above
title, signed GA Tax Payer" re-
gardlng the wet and dry election
to be held the 29th inst.
The writer insists that the
question involved is not one of
morals, but question of buSl-
ness. We affirm that no people
who ignore the moral law can be
prosperous in business. Immoral
men, by their dishonest methods,
have wrecked business institu-
tions and caused much loss to the
tax payers of Marion county.
Again, the writer insists that n
law should not be enacted until
the people are educated up to the
point Of obcyIng it. This means
that God Almighty made mis-
take when he passed his prohlbi-
tory commandments, saying:
''Thou shalt not steal,' "Thou
shalt not bear false Witness" -"
"Thou shalt not KILL etc. All
Of these commandments were
violated at that time, and the
people still diSobcy them. Shall
all Of these laws be repealed un-
til the people are educated TO
obey them: Law is the educator.
Ii prohibition is right and for the
best interests of the people. we
should have Il prohibitory law
and teach the people to obey it.
We are reminded again by the
writer that prohibition IN 1897
and 1883 did not prohibit. We
deny that there was as much
liquor sod during these years as
now; but supposing there was as
much sold, shall we repeal a
righteous law that is to the best
interests OF our citizens because
The llwlcSs saloon keeper declares
he will not obey it? This would
be putting Il premium on lawlcss-
ness. But let us not forget that,
with the present statute, the law
can be enforced.
Some OF the same ''irreSponsi-
bic persons" who sold in viola
tiOn Of law in lSNt and lSSS are
doing business under the Ii
ccnse system. But does license
regulate: Do they not sell on
Sunday? Do they not sell to mi
nor>s
Ii the saloon men can sell rs
much liquor in dry counties why
do they oppose prohibition: Sure
~ it is not because they have
such high regard for the law that
they are not wiling to violate it.
Inc amount oil revenue derived
from the license Of this damning
traffic is not sufficient to pay for
