vote the other way their votes do not
count. What does the submission of
a question 10 the people imply? 1t
would mean that the people are TO
vote on the question and a majority
of those voting are to decide the
question. That Is in accordance with
all parliamentary procedure. custom
and common sense.
The contention of the advocate Of
county option, as 1t looks 10 US, IS
the strongest kind of an argument for
the present Sloeumb law. That gives
each municipality the right and power
to decide whether it will have saloons
or not. If county option carries it will
mea that If a county votes dry the
entire county goes dry, no town in the
county can grant saloons, but If the
county votes wet. no town in the
county can have saloons unless the
applicant for a license goes through
the same procedure to ecure a lie
that he must now do under the
present law. Or to make 1t palmer, IL
a county votes dry, the entire county
Is dry and under no circumstances can
n saloon license be granted, but should
the county vote wet, no saloon license
can be granted unless a majority Of
license is asked for is willing to grant
It. II is a one-sided affair at its best
and should be killed.

A VOICE FROM MAINE.

Lewiston, Maine, Sun, August 81
There is a prohibition that makes
part of a mans manhood. The one
good prohibitory law is the law that
the sensible. self-respecting. self
mastered citizen imposes upon him
self. The law that will not allow his
opportunities for being OF some good
to the world to be compromised. Ones
own narrow selfish comfort is reason
enough for a self-imposed ~prohibitory
law. Even a sensible financial pru.
dence would save the expense of in
diligence.
The only tolerable liquor law that
we have heard of is the local option
method. We have no doubt that the
prohibitory law of Maine has done
far more harm than good. 1t has not
made drunkenness less common nor
less respectable. 1t has been used for
political prostitution. 1t has been
used for blackmail money-making. 1t
has long since passed beyond that de-
gree of respect when a considerable
body of citizens are eager to make
sacrifice and take some financial and
social risk to compel its living up to.
It's a nasty thing.
The only liquor law we have heard
some sort of local option.

Many men believe that prohibition
is an ~infraction OF personal rights.
Discussing this point, DR.. Lyman Alb

says the majority cannot impose its
conscience upon the minority. 1t is
well for Americans to remember that
the greatest civic fight waged by the
English people was for the attainment
of the writ of habeas corpus, which in
effect meant a guaranty by the gov

sonal liberty. The issue was won by
the English upon the grant of Magma
Charta by King John. Liberty was

that many of them left their native

proposition fails, then the present law
is in force. and the municipalities
may or may not grant license, as now
provided. II is the same principle as
state option, but is localized to a de-
gree.

rier in the way of license.
The liquor question cuts too much
figure in our elections now. 1t does
not seem proper to enact a law which
will make the liquor question para
mount in every campaign. The Slo-
cumb law is all right if enforced. 1t
is useless to amend this law by a
county option law.
Enforce the Slocumb law and bring
out its merits, and there will be little
cause to complain of intemperance.

PRETENDED OPTION EXPOSED.
-lCnleridge BLADE

The state issue which Is crowding
to the point and well-nigh %shouldering
aside the big national fight is the one
question of county option. The prohi-
bitiOn forces are back of the county
option fight. At first thought county
option means local option. But more
careful consideration shows a great
difference between the two. The great
majority of people believe in local
self-goyernment. So long as the liquor
question remains out of national poll
tics in the sense that neither of the
two great parties make any declara-
ton of principle regarding the use
and sale and manufacture of liquor
and thus no vital force be given to
the discussion, so long will people
turn as the next best resort to hand
ling liquor sales by the community.
This is why county option is taking
hold SO readily, because In it people
are readily deceived into believing
it means local option. Sc far as the
local rights of the community are
concerned, state option would pre-
serve them in some ways better than
county option. But no option pre-
serves them as would local option.
Take our own county for instance.
Few deny that its sentiment is wet.
Now Randolph wants to be dry. If
the county went wet, how could Ran
dolph maintain her right to remain
drvo A revarca condition would al
course work the same way. Aside
from this. the real county sentiment,
based on the county's own needs as
1t sees them. would not get unfet-
tered expression, for the reason that
the entire state prohibition organiza.
ganization would no doubt center
their whole forces on one county after
another, and these outside influences
would be undue influences shaping tho
county's sentiment. not on its own
needs. but along the lines of the de-
sires of specially interested parties re.
siding wholly outside of the county.
With local option. the local COM
munity has a good, fair understand
ing of the exact condition right where
IT can be plainly seen. If the COM
munity finds the sale of liquor to be
abused or detrimental, it can be stop
ped. without the aid or consent of
any outside meddlers. Again, adjoin-
ing counties might be wet and dry.
This would prevent any argument
against local option on grounds Of ex-
%pediency, for no law could be framed
to keep all the wetness in the wet
county any more than all the wetness
can be kept In a wet town.

A BUSINESS MANS VIEW.
(Ravenna News

1t is a significant fact that with very
few exceptions those residents of Ra-
VIENNA, some of them temperance men
in personal habits, who have within
recent years lived in prohibition
states and in communities where lo-
cal prohibition is in effect, or who
have means of knowing the actual con-
ditions as they exist in such states
and communities, are fayoring the IL
cense plan in Ravenna and will vote
accordingly.
Shelton has tried local prohibition
during the past year, and within the
past week we have seen a letter writ
ten by n of Skeletons best known
and conservative business men, from
which we quote:
Il do not believe the experience of
the past year would in itself induce
the people to continue the policy of
local prohibition. Local prohibition
has a tendency for the better, al
though it comes far from being effect
i've, but taking all things into consid-
Grafton, license, with the saloons we'll

to gain the priceless boon of personal.
liberty that the Pilgrim Fathers imml-
grated TO America.
Going back a little further, we hnd
that the basic principle of personal
liberty was carried to the English and
developed in England by the Anglo
Saxons. The books tell us that the
principle was early adopted by the
English and put into effect by local
communities, which later became IN
c%orporated cities and towns. Very ma
turally the idea led to local home rule,
which has distinguished English and
American towns for generations. 1t
dates from the time of the Anglo
Saxon invasion of England, and the
preservation of the principle is due to
the ancestors of our German-Amerl-
cans who are today ~contending for
that principle as applied to their in
herent right to the enjoyment of the
fullest measure of personal liberty.

ABLE DEFENSE or HOME RULE.
(Crete Vidette-Herald.)

(Crete INTELLECTUALLY
In 200 years we believe the most
practical law devised, is that known
as the Slocumb law OF Nebraska. II
this law was strictly enforced no
adulterated liquor could be sold. Not
a drop could be sold to a minor nor to
an habitual d"runkard, not a drop on
election day or Sundays, nor between
certain hours of the day. Some say
not enforced. II you cannot enforce
the provisions of the Slocumb law, pray
tell us how you will enforce a more
stringent law? The Vidette-Herald be-
fieves absolutely in home rule-and
that the town or village where license
is granted should be the unit and not
the legislative district, the county or
the congressional district. Under the
Slocum law each community can con-
trol its own local affairs in accord
ance with the will of the majority.

LOCAL OPTION.
(Beatrice Democrat.)


Some of those who hope to ride into
public Office upon a wave of enthusi-
asm for a popular measure are con
demning the opponents of the state
wide and countrywide prohibitory
measures as allies of the whisky
ring and friends of the brewery in
terests. The purpose of such con-
demnation is to make their own lily
Wilderness appear all the more daZ-
ling in contrast with the ~blackness in
which they paint their opponents.
A great many people who voted for
would be opposed to trying to force
a p%rohibitory law upon the state or
the county. They take that position
because they know that no law can be
enforced which is against the good
Judgment and best public opinion Of
the community.
In Beatrice, under the present sys-
TEN of local option, we have prohib-
tied the sale Of LIQUOR. 1t may be a
success or it nay lot.
Remember that Beatrice was voted
dry under the present local option
system. 1t cal be voted wet, II the
majority desires. under the same law.
1t would be very unfair and unjust
for the license people to demand a
law whereby a community could be
continued wet in spite of it's desire to
be dry. And, by the same token, 1t
is eminently unfair and unjust for
extreme prohibitionists to demand a
law which will compel a community
Beatrice, for example-to continue
dry, in spite of the peoples. desire to
have saloons under the Slocumb law
If prohibition stands the test and
shows net results which warrant its
continuance, II will be continued in
Beatrice next year. Prohibitonists
who have no faith in the success OF
the scheme are trying to cinch it and
to make it very difficult. almost i'm.
possible, to effect a change from dry
to wet.
