The Monroe News is guilty of the
appended attempt to justify the saloon
The truth is, the fact of the business
is, our friend the prohibtionists, at
tempt the impossible of making a crime
of a thing, or an act rather, that is nc
crime; wine, whiskey and beer will be
drunk as long as men are born and as
long as men make them. 1t is no crime
to make them and all the statutes that
can be enacted can not make it so; and
Just so is it as to drinking them. An
other truth is you can not legislate
morals into people. The place to in
cuicate morals and the habits of so
briety-temperance i'll all things-is at
the fireside, in the schools and i'll the
churches. Let the parents, the teachers
and the preachers take care of their af-
fairs, perform their duty and discharge
their obligations, and let the State do
likewise and the youth of this land will
not go astray Then, indeed, will we
have moral, law-abiding people, toll
Grant, God-loving people abiding i'll
peace and harmony.
: No prohibitionist has attempted to
make a ''crine of drink" But the
traffic in drink has been denounced in
the State Constitution as vice. Does
the esteemed but wayward contemporary
deny the right of community or of any
community to combat vice with all the
means in their power?
Who talks about "legislating morals
into people?
Prohibition never pretended to do
that thing nor to attempt it.
But prohibition claims the right, the
duty and the necessity of legislating
immoral things away from people.
Why the logic of the Monroe News
would be a plea for chief or muir
:derer, the logic that because one is i'm
moral you have no right to restrain him
by law.
1t pains US to find such pitiful excuses
for the liquor traffic as this from our
Monroe contemporary.
There is no defense, 10 reason, no
excuse for the traffic in liquor on moral
grounds.
In contest on that issue ninety per
cent of the people of the United States
would vote whiskey out root and branch
But the whiskey dealer is too sharp,
too keen to stake his all on that ground
He seeks evasion, tells us of saved
taxes to property, Of adding business to
towns and of calling people from abroad
to wet localities.
OF course these are all flimsey, but
they are plausible and not repugnant to
sense, nor to common decency.

GooD ADVICE.

Early in the campaign the Phoe-
nix advocated the ratification Of the
constitution, Objectionable though
4 it is to every fair-minded man, and
insisted on the Republican party OF
the state going to the people with a
clean ticket and a platform pledged
to the adoption and amendment Of
the political monstrosity brought
forth in blind partisan hate by the
Democratic machine at Guthrie.
Other influential Republican papers
have taken up the cry, and it is
with pleasure we quote the following
from the Bartlesyille Enterprise.
which is very much in earnest on
this question:
.Those men and papers who
would oppose the ratification Of the
constitution simply by reason of the
Legislative gerrymander are, it is be-
lieyed, lily advised Of the true char
acter Of Oklahoma citizenship. To
oppose statehood on that ground
alone is to plead guilty to the same
crime that Democracy has commit
ted in the gerrymander outrage. All
classes worth taking into account
want statehood. Any plan that
does not properly estimate this. sem
timent is weak and impotent. The
Democratic constitutional conyen-
ton has put political considerations
above statehood above every other
interest Of the state or people. Let
the Republicans have a care that
they do not likewise. -Muskogee

Adopt the constitution, secure
statehood and then fight for what
you want and believe is right. The
Chieftain believes that q majority
of the Republicans will vote for the
constitution the politicians may
not.
