Y Salt be made, to believe, that un-
der the constitution something had
legislation other than already had
been done. There are three kinds
of LOCAL option in use, VIZ:
W. ~ ~ II BY election precincts, villages
J.. a~adt cities
2. BY counties.
8. By counties, with the privil-
eye of electors lin election precincts,
villages, and cities voting on it sep
arately. So that while the county as
whole might go dry, yet If such pre-
cincts, ETC., should go dry, prohibi-
tion would prevail therein.
The second one mentioned is the
one adopted by the Republican party
in its platform That is to say, the
unity must be all wet, or all dry.
There are no saloons in Meridian,
Middleton, and Star, Ada county In
the event Of Ada county going wet
these villages would have to take
back the saloon; or, rather, the sa-
loon would be forced upon him
again, against their will. But they
give as a reason for passing the To-
cal option plank, that the constitution
directs some such action. Does it?
Let us see.
The constitution does wisely say,
that "the first concern of all good
government is the virtue and sobriety
of the people, and the purity of the
home, and that the legislature should
further all wise and well directed ef-
forts for the promotion of temper
ance and morality"
The constitution further says.
Liberty Of conscience shall not be
" construed to excuse acts of licentious-
mess, or other pernicious practices, in
consistent with morality or the
peace, or safety of the state.
The licsnse system necessarily
produces a breach OF everyone Of the
ten commandments. 1t has PERM !
cious effect on the public. 1t is in
consistent with morality and the
peace and safety OF the state. In
stead Of it being well-directed ef-
fort for the promotion Of. temper
\ ance 1t is just the opposite. The
UNITED States supreme court in 1877
Y. s. SO, says: by the general con-
clarence OF opinion Of every civilized
add Christian community there are
ffw sources OF crime and misery to /!
society equal to the dram shop. The
statistics Of every state show great
er amount Of crime and misery at
tributable to the use of ardent spirits
