WEATHER YESTERDAY.
MURPHY ON PROHIBITION.

Francis Murphy has not been preach
ing moral sausion for thirty years as
a means Of reforming men from the
drink habit without learning many
practical things in al that time. One
of 1..e things he has learned is that
prohibition is disappointment to its
friends. to put II mildly Others who
have had muca experience in observ-
ing the working Of prohibition laws
in the Arious states where they have
Deen tried would have said that pro
hibition is failure That Il does not
prohibit is as certain as that the sun
will sink to rest in the western heay-
ems this evening. Answering the quer-
les OF a former resident OF the State
of Maine. Mr. Murphy said that saloons
existed there and every man who has
ever travelled through the state with
his eyes open knows this to be fact.
Iowa tried prohibition for a number
of years and it proved such a failure
that the State finally returned to a
nigh license law with local option feat
ures. The efforts to enforce the pro-
hibition law in Kansas were failures
and even the establishment of State
constabulary could not accomplish
the object. Prohibition is the idea of
theorists. of men and women who have
no practical knowledge of the every
day life of the common people and
their theories will not be accepted by
the masses. Prohibition not only re-
suits in the defiance of the prohibit
tory liquor laws. but in large meas
ure in the defiance of all laws. Ii has
never been tried in any state in which
il has not resulted in more harm than
good.
There is but one way to win back
the drunkard to correct living. or 10
win back the moderate drinker to total
abstinence and taat is just the way
that Mr. Murphy pracGces-by the
gospel of love Francis Murphy is n
man from the ranks of the people and
he knows that the omnipotent love of
God is strong enough to reach any
man. As he so often says. there is no
man nor woman so depraved but
someone can reach them through
Gods love. Love in the home, love
and perfect confidence between hus-
band and wife, and between parent
and child. God Is love; that is the
best prohibition law in the world to
preach. AS Bishop Dave Moore of
the Methodist church once said to the
writer: My time is so absorbed in
preaching the omnipotence of God s
love for his children. that | have no
time to discuss creed or church doc
trine." That is the way with Francis
Murphy in his temperance work. He
is so busy preaching the love of God
for his fallen children that he has no
time TO waste on impractical things
like prohibition. May his work in
Honolulu be thrice blessed.

be located and the impression pre-

about halfway between Ahbeville and

country traversed by the new ROAD

THE OFFICERS FIND NO CLUE.
The Crime is one of The Worst Ever
Committed in the COunty-Mer-
rigan the Murdered Man was
Well Known Here.

Steve Merrigan, the we'll known
former "blind pig" keeper, of Bibon,
was murdered last Wednesday night.
Merrigan went out of the saloon
business about two years ago, and
since then has been engaged most of
the time in well digging, and had
but recently moved back to Bibon
from Ashland, where he had resided.
Merrigan was sitting in the saloon
at Bibon on the night in question,
and the story as told by the barten-
der OF the saloon is that two colored
men suddenly opened the door and
both fired at Merrigan, and that he
dropped dead AS no trace can be
found of any colored people having
been in the vicinity, and as there
could have been no motive for the
colored people shooting Merrigan it
is thought by many that the affair
was perhaps premeditated by some
one who for some reason wanted to
get Merrigan out of the way. At
first it was suggested that robbery
might have been the object of the
murderers, but this theory seems to
have been abandoned, as Merrigan
was not ver-fush, and as soon as
the shots were fired, the two men
run away, The officers have been
investigating the matter, and it
would not be surprising if some SEN
sational arrests followed. Merrigan
used to be before the Courts here
Frequently for his repeated violations
of the law, and Notwithstanding his
bad name in this respect he was a
man with but few enemies, and just
why anyone should have sought his
life is d good deal of mystery. The
murder was one of the most cold
blooded that has ever occurred in
Bayfield, county, and no effort should
be spared to capture and punish the
assassins.
