PROHIBITION.

The Grafton News and Times
writes the following regarding
prohibition. A question Of en-
crossing importance to the state at
large is legislation on the liquor
problem. Moral pursuits and
misguided enthusiasts may clamor
in favor Of the moral theory en-
bodied in North Dakota's prohibi-
ton statute, but the business man,
and practical observer know that
the prohibition law in North Da-
kots is q ridiculous failure, not
only in Its avowed object of main
tanning moral standard, but in
its very operation. While pre-
tended prohibitionists cry in favor
|of North Dakota's most absurd
statute, DRINKS more pitiable than
ever wallowed in an open saloon,
daily stock on the streets, fill
states prisons and feed upon the
communities. En- the city of
Grafton there are boys of tender
and immature age, who are on the
road to ruin via the blind pig
route, In many cases the parents
have absolutely no method Of
counteracting the insidious in
Huences, which low grog shop
is bound to exercise upon their
morality, health and reputation.
Liquor Of the most despicable
character is sold Unfortunately
and young men who should spend
their evenings in good society are
seen lounging around public
places, each provided With bottle
Of stuff unfit for man or beast.
NeSeftneless prominent Legislators
blind themselves to these con-
ditions on the plea that a recon-
alteration of the prohibition
statute would bring stain upon
the fair name of this state. The
people of North Dakota do not
want licensed saloon, but every
fond mother of growing boys de-
mands that the sale of liquor be
SO controlled as to preclude the
demoralizing influences which an
illegal traffic is bound to exercise
upon their character, habits and
good name. Prohibition in North
Dakota has had ample opportrni-
Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1902-08-07

The president has gone down to
Oyster Bay and has evidently
taken his press agent with him,
for he is handing out some very
warm thrusts at the trusts. It
takes q shrewd man to know just
when to be brave, but the man
who waits until the danger is over
to parade his bravery is not only
shrewd, but wise. It would not
look we'll for the president to have
recommended antitrust legisla-
ton while congress was in session;
that body might have surprised
him by enacting the legislation.
However, the president is setting
his vote-trap too soon. The bait
may spoil.
