MGERSOLL ON ALCOHOL

In $40, in the course OF my argument in the Mum
trial at Chicago, used the following language.
Il believe. gentlemen, that afcohoI, certain de-
gree, denoralizes those who make it. those who sell
it, and those who drink it. believe from the time
it issues from the coiled and poisonous worm of the
dstery until it emptes into the hell OF time death
and disonor, it demoraZes everybody that touches
it. do not believe that anybody contemplate
the subject without becoming prejudocd against this
liquid crime. All you have to do, gentlemen is To
think of the wrecks upon either bank this dream
of death-of the suicides, Of the insanity Of the
poverty, of the ignorance of the Distress the little
children tugging at the faded dresses weeping and
desparing wives, asking for bread OF OF genius

1T is said Prohibition should be aban-
doned because it Will hurt trade But
the people can never be made to believe
that the cornerstone of their commercial
prosperity is d whiskey jug
1t is declared that moral suasion is suf-
ficient to remove the evils of intemper-
ancc, for the eradication of which the
people are rising up. But if this were
true the present ills would not exist, for
moral suasion has been most vigorously
employed during all the past during
which time the harmful results of drink
have been steadily increasing. What can
moral suaSiOn Go when in every Commun-
ity there are men whose greed prompts
them and whose license allows them to
intercept moral conviction and beat down
moral resolution?
Under license system be it high or
low, a premium is paid upon vice, and
moral suasion operates at the greatest
possible disadvantage.
Prohibition is the proposal of the men
and women who have done all that has
been done in the way of moral SuaSion
and who have learned by the saddest ex-
pericnces why their efforts have SO frc-
quently failed. Their battle is, moral
suason for the drinker and legal sua-
sion for the seller
The liquor men affirm that men cannot
be made moral by legislation. Nobody
claims that they can, and the objection is
unworthy of even passing notice. 1t is
a fact that statutes cannot make men
moral, but statutes can remove tempta-

TO the Editor: 1t is not strange that
this movement in North Carolina is so
"ide-reaching and aggressive. The Won
der is not that it has come so soon, but
that it did not come sooner. The time
has arrived when something must be
done, and the people know it.
License laws have been and are fail
urc or this movement could never have
been begun and continued as far as it
has gone. The people have borne as much
as they can from the results of traf-
lie which has by its excesseS dcmonstrat-
cd that society must destroy it, or be
destroyed by it. Seeing on tho wall the
handwriting that fOretells the utter de-
struction of their trade; seeing that they
have been weighed in the balance and
found wanting in every element of hu-
manity, morality and good citizenship,
the liquor men are beginning to call a
halt.

To the Editor:-No doubt some will
stop taking your paper because of the
noble stand you have taken for God and
native land By coming out for strict
temperance legislation, but you, like the
Democratic party, will make larger gains
from the best element of citizens
| send yon herewith $500 to be placed
to my credit subscription am proud
to see the leading daily in the State
take such a firm stand for right.
Let me say that the thousands who
asked for the London bill will never be
satisfied with anything else. It's true
the Watts bill is better than nothing,
Lut all tho compromising had been done
by tho best people when they agreed on

bugle blast for prohibition.
It was Democratic to give good govern

TExPERANCE LEGISLATION.
Plan to Unite all Temperance Forces in I ocal
Elections

To the Editor: The people of the
State evnect the General Assembly to
prohibit the manufacture and sale OF N
toxicating liquors in the country, ana |
have no doubt their expectation will &c
realized. How much further the mem
bers of the Legislature will go in re-
sponso to the Iublc demand for tenn
perance legislation | do not know, bur
there can be objection, it seems 20
ne offered by any reasonable man, de-
sirous of minimizing the evils OF the
liquor traftic> to the enactment of legis-
lation submitting the questions of Ii
censc. prohibition and dispensary to the
qualified voters Of the towns.
I wish to suggest, however, that the
first question which should be submitted
is whether the sale by licensed saloons
shall be continued, and if the election
on that question be decided in the affir-
native, that within sixty days thereafter
the further questso5fgfefssprohibi Or
dispensary be submitted. If the election
should result in favor of licensed saloons
no further election shall be held in two
years, and if the election should result
in uispensary or prohibition further
election on these questions shall be held
within two years. The submission Of the
first proposition would array all the oD
ponents of the liquor traffic against the
open saloon and unite the advocates Of
prohibition and dispCnsary in a contest
against the saloon, which would result
i'll most of the towns in the elimination
Of he bar-room After that result had
been accomplished the prohi bitonistS AMI
the advocates of the di5pensary would
have an opportunity of presenting to the
voters the relative merits of the two
systems uncomplicated by the saloon
question.
The liquor intere st viii rely in local
elections very largely upon the differ
cnoes existing among temperance people
on the subject of prohibition and dis
pcnSary and if these forces can be put
in antagonism to each other the bar
oom will reap all the advantage; whore
as a vigorous and determined attack BY
all the temperance forces on the license
system in Il campaign with only one
clear cut issue, and that one the grea
issue upon which all are practically a
| unit, viii, in my opinion result in a
great victory
Very truly yours,

To the Editor: Il the legislature will
re-estahlish tho whipping post and en-
act law requiring the sheriff or chief
OF police to administer thirty-nnc lashes
to the bare back of every person caught
under TIC influence of liquor as soon as
he or she is sober enough to appreciate
the efforts of those officers, there will
be no need in North Carolina for either
the London Bill or the Watts Bill.
Don't harass people who sell spirits
but punish those who drink TO excess.
Let us have tho whipping post and tenn
perance Will follow.
