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.

Let me say that the thousands who

the Watts bill is better than nothing,
but all the compromising had been done
by the best people when they agreed on
the London bill. Continue to blow your
bugle blast for prohibition.

TEMPERANCE LEGISLATION.
A Plan to Unite all Temperance Forces in Local
Elections

To the Editor: The people of the
State expect the General Assembly to
prohibit the manufacture and sale of in
toxicating liquors in the country, and I
have no doubt their expectation will DC
realized. How much further the MEM
bers of the Legislature will go in re-
Spouse to the lublic demand for tenn
perancc legislation | do not know, but
there can be no objection, it seems 20
ne, offered by any reasonable man, de-
sirous of minimizing the evils of the
liquor traffic, to the enactment of legis-
lation submitting the questions Of Ii
censc, prohibition and dispensary to the
qualified voters of the towns.
/ 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 question of prohibition 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 aispensary or prohibition no further
election on these questions shall be held
within two years. The submission OF the
first proposition would array all the OPP
ponents of the liquor traffic against the
open saloon and unite the advocates of
prohibition and dispensary in a contest
against the saloon, which would result
III most of the towns in the elimination
Of the bar-room. After that result had
been accomplished the prohibitionists and
the advocates of the dispensary would
have an opportunity of presenting to the
voters the relative merits of the two
systems uncomplicated by the saloon
question.
The liquor interest will rely in local
elections very largely upon the differ
cnCes existing among temperance people
on the subject of prohibition and dis
pensary, and if these forces can be put
in antagonism to each other the bar
loom will reap all the advantage; where
as a vigorous and determined attack by
all the temperance forces on the license
system in a campaign with only one
clear cut issue, and that one the great
issue upon which all are practically a
unit, will in my opinion, result in a
great victory.
Very truly yours,

the people can never be made to believe
that the cornerstone of their commercial
prosperity is whiskey Jug
1t is declared that moral suasion is suf
hcient to remove the evils of intemper-
ance, 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 do 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, 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-
periences why their efforts have so fire.
suasion 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
of even passing notice. 1t is
a fact that statutes cannot make men
moral. but statutes can remove tempta-
ton that betray men into sin, and so give
them a fair chance to make themselves
moral. Statutes can prevent saloon keep
ers from making men immoral. The 9TH
