BARRE, W., JULY 20, 1901

The Londonderry Sitter quotes an
editorial comment from the TELE.
GRAM in praise of the Rev. George
Elliott Cooley and then goes on to
a ,:-"That's all right in a way.
Men who have the courage of their
convictions are none too plenty. But
when an alleged minister Of the Cos.
pei believes in entering into partner.
ship with the liquor sellers his con-
victions are so queer that in that par.
ticular he had better be a little
cowardly whether he is Rev. Cooley
or Bishop A. G. A. Hail." This is
just the sort Of alleged reasoning that
makes the present %prohibitory liquor
law system the farce that it is. Some
people have talked for prohibition all
their lives and through thick and
tain when all reason has been against
them they have upheld it in it's every
phase until it has come to be almost
a mania. If any man dares
to express an opinion at variance
with their own, that man is a
BLACKBOARD and a scoundrel. 1t is
better to honestly believe the present
law to be a farce and still maintain
that the system is perfect than it is
to refuse to be a hypocrite. In other
words, in the cast Of a clergyman it
Is more honorable to be a live coward
than adead hero. Toe great mistake
that is made by followers Of the Sift-
ers' doctrine is in the superstition
that If a person advocates a change in
the present system he is ''entering
into partnership with the liquor sell
lers," or he is Gin league with the
devil" They have no more right
to make such an assertion about
their opponents than the latter
have to accuse them in a SINH
lar manner. It. is nonsense to say
that a man like Mr.. Cooley or Bishop
Hall have any other object in view
than the betterment OF humanity and
1t is an open question that is by no
settled whether or not the
stand they take relative to the pro.
hibitory liquor law is really hostile to
the interests Of the liquor dealer and
the most effective promoter Of tenn
perance. Temperance and the pro
hibitory liquor law are not synomous
terms, and it may be they are entirely
opposite.
