ed institution, but with her light
and in the face of the motive
prompting her in the creation of
the dispensary, she is guilty and
every class of her citizens and
every line of her business, social.
political, financial and religious
must sooner or later suffer be-
cause of her attitude to this whole
liquor question. Isit not strange,
with these facts confronting us,
that men will contend that the
dispensa:y as it now is is the best
solution of the liquor problem!
Would it not he Il thousand
times better for the people of the
State who haye moral convic-
tiens to unite and wipe the hands
of the State of the whole bust
ness!
We forget, it seems, that slack
notions of sin which lead the State
to legislate so as to encourage IN
temperance will render her pow
erless when crimes are committed,
and her honor debauched and her
best interest bedraggled in the
dust. An evil made to be respect
ed by the great seal of the State
leads to spirit of tolerance of
whatever grows out oft, however
diabolical it may be.
Respected liquor dealing leads
to slack notions of the CRIME of
drunkenness, and makes us toler-
ant toward all the consequences
following in its evil train.
When we legisIate slackly on
this liquor question and simply
regulate it to make money out of
it, rather than restrict it, we ere
opening the floodgate of crime
and inviting that condition of
things which will sooner or later
besmearch the escutcheon of our
State. We make law less force
full and ITS violation less of a
crime.
Our slack notions of the evils
of the dispensary law has no doubt
led to many violations of the law
against carrying concealed wea-
pons as well as to the frequent
use of the pistol, and when the
deed is done public sentiment has
been SO debuuched that you can
n% get jury to convict for the
crime, whatever it may be, hence
the frequent killings all over the
State.
This condition of things tends
to destroy confidence in the courts
and is silently but surelp feeding
u spirit of lawlessness from the
highest to the lowest grad es of
society.
Again we ask: Where arc we
drifting! Echo answers, "Where!'
