GOOD HORSE SENSE
characterizes What Chaplain Lucas
Says on Party Prohibition.

Says on Party Prohibition.
Rev. D. R. Lucas of Indianapolis,
Is one of the leading ministers of the
Christian church in Indiana, and is
commander-in-chief Of the Indiana de-
partment of the G. A. R. Here is
ton propaganda In Indiana:
"I see that F. T. McWhirter, the
Prohibition candidate for governor,
says he Is going out over the state to
stir up bitterness This MEANS, or
course, that he Is going out to abuse
every man and party that does not
agree with him.
ut Is strange that q party can hope
to succeed, or do any good, when its
leaders go out and impugn the mot
ives and honesty of all who do not
agree with them. Men who have not
learned that people may honestly DIFF
fer as to the best means of accom-
plishing an end are too narrow In
thought to do any good in any cause.
1T is especially unfortunate that a
class of men should start out to or
ganize a party, who are determined
to quarrel with everybody.
"The mistake of the party Prohi-
bitionists lies in the fact that they are
seeking the impractical and fail to
credit the work that practical men
are doing. They talk as though L.
cense and tax laws were made in the
interests of the liquor traffic, instead
Of against It. They utterly ignore the
fact that IL all our tax and license
laws were repealed 1t would be as
legitimate to make and sell beer as
bread and whisky as -four.
Under the constitution of our
country and the common law they
stand on the same basis. II is only
al statutory laws intervene that the
trafic becomes illegal, and under the
decision Of the supreme court Of the
United States the power to regulate
or prohibit the manufacture and sale
Of intoxicants Is wholly In the prov
ince Of the police power of the state.
I'm the 18th Howard reports, a hum
dred pages are devoted to this dis
cussion and the decision, and yet these
leaders have not the courage, or hon.
esty, to state the question as it is. II
they had president and congress Of
Prohibitionists they could do no more
to prohibit the liquor trafic In Indiana
than they could do now.
under the local option and prohi-
bition laws now in operation more
than 100000 of the people of our
country are under prohibition and
without the legalized saloon today.
And not one Of those laws has been
made by the Prohibition party or Is
upheld by it today.
"All this has been done by what are
called by them whisky parties sub
NIT II the whisky parties have given
prohibition to $4,000, 900 of our coun-
trymen, while the Prohibiti.,nists have

ship, It is evident that it is better to
stand by the whisky parties that do
something for prohibition rather than
the party that only resolves and talks
and spends its time abusing its fellow
mon who prefer to be practical as well
as theoretical.

out Of each forty. that he ought to vote
