JUDGE ARTMAN AT
GRACE CHURCH

Despite the inclement weather there was
a large gathering at the Prohibition
meeting In Grace Church at Ninth and
West street yesterday afternoon when
the principal address was by Judge
Samuel r. Artman Of Indiana. The first
speaker was Rev. r. o. Everhart. who
severely criticised and rldiculed the state
ment OF the license committee regard
ing Delaware under the no-lioense law In
1856. Considering the number OF indict-
ments found for selling liquor In that
period ne said these indictments were
found against only a few men and even
then the period extended into the license
regime. Mr.. Everhart believed there we're
Ananiases working for the license cause
Rev. John II. Hector. the Black Knight,
who was on the stage made brief witty
speech that caught the audience which
aplauded him literally. Mr.. Hector said
that he hoped all the church members
would support the anit-lioense cause. He
wished some church members were like

slide into the saloon, the saloon would
be voted out
Judge Artman delivered learned ad-
dress on the ilegality OF the saloon. He
asserted that the privilege 10 sell liquor
was not an inherent right that Is one
that belonged in man regardles sof sta
tutes.
He said the question is whether the
saloon is a legalized institution as meas
ured by the common law. He said the
whole essence Of common law Is to pre-
vent that which Is wrong and dangerous,
therefore as the saloon is a dangerous
institution, It canot be legalized. He quot
ed from high authorities on law TO prove
this assertion. These authorities say II a
thing is against the welfare and public
order OF a people, then It cannot be legal
lied. The speaker said that the supreme
court Of Missouri has declared that the
open saloon is a source of disorder. other
court decisions were quoted to sustain this
contention.
He pointed out that there was time
when the primitive man was guided only
by tho moral force. but Il was found that
this was ineffective. He said: Man made
law to enforce the principles Of right and
wrong The principle of law Is that the
constitutional and civil laws must be IN
accord with the moral law 1t is true that
prohibition is a moral proposition and
therefore must be a legal one. If prohibi-
tion is morally right, the saloons can be
closed. for IL it is proven that il is not an
inherent right to man. then it can be put
out OF business"
The law. he said. to-day simply gives
a man the right to sell and therefore that
right can be taken away. In giving The
right. restrictions are thrown about it 10

The prohihitory law Is like a spade. The
spade does not dig unless some one uses
it, The prohibitory law IS a means II
