Prohibition Does Not Prohibit.

Representative Kahn of California in
terrupted Mr.. Weller at this point to place
in the record an editorial from The
Star commenting on the fact that, al
though Congress had passed a law to stop
the sale of cocaine. the drug was
still being sold as formerly. He did this
with reference to Mr. Wellers statement
that prohibition did not prohibit.
Il came here in 1872 said Mr.. Weller,
and there is less drunkenness here now
in a week or a month than was the case
formerly in a day
Mr. Weller said the people who favored
absolute prohibition thought they were
helping the cause of God, just as did the
fanatics in Cotton Mather's time who
burned old women at the stake witches.
He thought a prohibition law for the
District of Columbia would breed a race
of hypocrites and law Violators. In his
opinion ~ per cent of the population of
the District of Columbia were opposed to
prohibition. He suggested that If the mat
ter were ever permitted to come to a vote
Congress would have an illustration
of the Overwhelming sentiment against
prohibition that prevailed in the District

DR.. Abraham Simon.

Dr. Abraham Simon of the Eighth Street
Synagogue deplored the agitation for alb
solute prohibition. suggesting that this
was still in the experimental stage. and
had to its record no permanent success
on a large scale. He thought prohibition
would be a good thing if it could take
away the desire for stimulation or could
transfer a community of drinking people
into a community of abstainers and still
keep them joyous.
prohibition comes here resh from
honors in the south" said Rabbi Simon.
but | do not like the huTrah that &C
companies it,.
He held that the District of Columbia
was dedicated to the cause of temperance.
and that prohibition by law would be fatal
to the temperance cause.
"All extreme measures shoot beyond the
range said the rabbi, land moderation
is vastly better than sanct,monious alb
stinence.
Rabbi Simon then suggested, referring
to the case of Representative Hef1in OF
Alabama who recently. while on his way
to deliver temperance lecture, shot q
drunken negro. that advocacy of prohibi-
ton did not carry with it temperance OF
conduct.
He said that the present excise law o.
the District of Columbia was most excel
lent. and practically placed local option
privileges in the hands of the people of
this community. inaSmuch as any one
wishing to open a saloon first had to get
certd; number of signers to his petit
ton from property owners and residents
in the immediate vicinity OF the site he in
tended to locate his place o. business
These signers had the privilege of protest

savings bank in the same building with the
postofice; one to be established in every town
In the whole country. Don't understand me
to advocate the government going into the
money-lending business till the money hoarder
refuses to do SO upon frst-class collateral.
Take an individual who has gotten together
a few thousand dollars. The only thing the
Government can guarantee him would be the
rate of INTEREST," not turn him over the job
or trade of lending money without competi-
ton. Under the system that have outlined,
We would have a real flexible volume of mon
ey, for it is not supposed that the individ-
ual would borrow more money on his abso-
lutely good security than he actually needed;
and also that he would pay it back when he is
through with it.
Hoping you success in the difficulties that
you will have to overcome, and regrett1ns lat
on account Of those difficulties, cannot rep
resent this State at Chicago, I remain, yours
true to The Cause, "W M. ETLAND."
Now, my friend just, few words to yeu
along the line OF common sense. While / have
seen a great deal from you upon the issu-
ance Of money I dom remember where you
have ever advocated the Government coming
in competition with the money sharks
in the money lending business. After you
have done away with the national banks, and
repealed the franchise laws that have given
a few men monopoly on money, they will
still have the power and right to get togeth
er all Of your circulating medium that they
can, and together with what they already con-
troll, with concerted withdrawal of it from
circulation, they would very seriously affect
prices. They could do this the same way that
they now form trusts on the various articles
of commerce, by getting control of articles Of
general use and regulating supply to demand
at fixed scale of prices. If the Government
has the right to build and operate railroad,
it has the same right to issue and lend money;
and when we are moving the wheat and cottor
crops, we need one equally as bad as we need
the other and a just government would no
more allow the stopping of loans than it would
the stopping Of trains
Hoping to meet you on July 9, I remain,
yours truly, W. M. E1LAND.

Mother Abdacts a Child

The Readstown Tribune relates chat
Harold Flanagan, aged IL years, son of
VIM. Flanagan, was abducted by his
mother, and at this writing nothing has
been learned of their whereabouts.
Several years ago the father and mother
separated and in its deliberations the
court gave the custody of the child to
his father. On two previous occasions
the mother has taken the child from
its guardians but he was recovered.
On this occasion she drove into town,
accompanied by an elderly man She
went directly to the school house and
asked for the boy whom she gathered
in her arms and caressed. The boy did
not recognize her, not having seen her
since he was little tot. She told him
to put on his wraps and they would GO
Thence they went t., she residence of
his uncle, f. p. Flanagan, and there
asked for his clothes, but they were re-
fused admittance by Miss Flanagan,
who alone was at home, and they took
ther departure, taking The boy with
them. The telephone was used in an
effort to head off the trio but the rela-
tives here were told by Viroqua law
yer that they would have to make COM
plant in regular form and go into court
and secure a writ of habeus corpus be-
fore the boy could be recovered. Thus
the escape was made without the slight
est interference. Later, wo,d has been
received from Harold stating that they
are in Minneapolis.
