County Option in a Nutshell

Circular letter sent out for publication by
the Anti-Saloon League OF South DskotaD
The saloon interests are having
several display lads" run in Stanley
county papers asking voters to vote
"no" on the county option question
on Nov. 3rd.
Read this article before you vote.
Our whiskey friends are endeavor-
ing to make out that the present
county option bill, now before the
electors of South Dakota, is really a
question ''for whiskey or against
whiskey." But the farmers will be
able to see through the thin disguise
that they are wearing and perceive
that the measure befc-s the people at
this stage Is simply legislative mea-
sure. The question Is not whether it
is right or wrong to license any of
these gentlemen below, but the ques-
tion is shall the farmers have the
right to determine the licensing of
such men9
Ii 1t IL right to license q saloon it is
right to run one, and II it is right to
run saloons rumsellers should not be
rejected by fraternities, barred from
churches, and ostracized from good
society. The actual attitude of the
public represents grievance rather
than a prejudice.
Public sentiment declares that 1t is
contrary to ethics and utility to
legalize resorts which always and
everywhere tend toward poverty,
drunkenness and crime. If we license
the saloon, why not license the brothel
and gambling place? II vile places
are sure to exist, why not regulate
rather than exterminate them?
Is it right to legalizs q business
which. is so bad that courts brand 1t
as nuisance and laws make it libel
GUS to mistakenly publish that per-
son is engaged In it? Is 1t right to
reduce taxes BY selling few persons
monopolies to trade ON the passions
and vices Of the poor and irresponsi-
BILE?
Licensing the liquor traffic increases
drunkenness, as commitment statistics
from Vermont and New Hampshire
showed when their prohibitory liquor
laws were repealed. The same Is
shown when Massachusetts, towns
fluctuate between license and no-li-
cense. Maine has hardly one-third as
many commitments for drunkenness
as Massachusetts according to popu-
lation.
License legalizes and enlarges the
resort, and, by gliding the vice Of tip
pling makes wrong pass for right.
The Illicit shop tends to make
drinking disreputable. The licensed
shop is usually an attractive place,
while the unlicensed shop is repulsiye,
except TO drunkards and undiscrimi-
mating patrons.
License fosters the vices of snok.
ing, swearing, obscsnity, drinking,
gambling, neglecting the family, an
bribery, which especially flourish In
connection with the trafilc In alcoho.
lie beverages and its representative
institution, the saloon.
