Great Debate on the Saloon.

ing the district bench in Minnesota.
Also from the Supreme Courts OF sew
eral states and that of the United
States
Abiding to Mr. Maddock's assertion
of the unconstitutionality of prohibit
ton, Mr.. Calderwood quoted LincOln's
description of the American govern
ment as one "of the people, by the
people and for the people,. and the
maxim the public welfare is the
supreme law"
1t is an affront for man to say that
the majority is a mob because 1t does
not agree with him. The courts have
repeatedly declared that the sale of
liquor is not on a level with that OF
bread-stuffs. The speaker here quoted
liquor papers to prove the rottenness
Of the saloon business. He also cited
various high courts to the effect that
the right to sell intoxicating liquors
does not inhere in citizenship. Ii
cense is a conferred privilege, not a
regulation. No prohibitOry law has
been declared unconstitutional except
on purely technical grounds, like the
failure of a clerk to properly engross.
But if prohibition is constitutional.
| is it wise? Lincoln, in 1912, said up
on this point: ut is not an open ques-
ton. We have had only partial pro-
/ hibition thus far. A wet ward, city.
county, or state has stopped over into
contiguous dry territory. Yet its re-
suits are immensely beneficial. The
speaker read extracts from letters re-
Gently received from congressman,
sheriffs, and other prominent men in
prohibition territory showing that
crime had decreased so to IS per cent.
School attendance had doubled in
some places. Bank deposits had in
creased and taxes had not.
Mr.. Calderwood closed with the
confident prediction that the saloon
would die and that the North Star
State would be in the front rank OF the
fight. The applause which he re-
ceived both at the opening and the
close amounted to an ovation.
Mr. Maddox made feeble attempt
to reply but cut a sorry figure before
both friend and foe and took his seat
after using only minute or two OF the
ten minutes accorded him.
Prohibitionists are very happy
Everyone accorded Mr.. Calderwood
the victory. The State Committee has
challenged Mr.. Maddox to other de
bates.

The prohibition event of events In
this section occurred Sunday after
noon, the 18th, when 1000 people
packed the Metropolitan theatre. Min
neapolis, to hear Sec Calderwood and
John Maddox discuss Wise Regula-
ton versus Absolute Prohibition.
Hundreds were turned away. In the
audience were many saloon-keepers
and bartenders who touched elbows
with prohibitionists. Mayor Haynes
presided.
Mr.. Maddox opened. occupying an
hour. His address was chiefly pro-
test against the alleged unconstitution-
atty and un-americanism OF ProhlDl-
ton and the mobocratic rule of the
majority. He denounced the attempt
Of the churches and preachers to COM
pei others to think as they think and
act as they act. He thought President
Roosevelt should use his big stick to
protect the rights OF the people
against Prohibition.
The speaker stoutly opposed the
contention Of ProhibitiOniSts that so
much Of the evil in the world is due
to the saloon. Comparatively few
criminals are made such by drink.
They were born such. The saloon is
legitimate 1t produces more JOY than
sorrow. It provides a little solace IN
this world of sorrow Those who visit
it are as happy there as those VINO
spend their evenings at prayer-meet-
ing. All sorrow and crime are due TO
physical and other natural conditions.
Most testimony as to the evil effect or
the saloon is without value. Crime IS
due to poverty, love of wealth and
other causes The Bible, like the sa-
loon has it good and bad side. Will
Prohibitionists prohibit it on that ac-
count? Those who agreed with the
speaker and those who differed from
him were generous in their applause
Mr.. Calderwood, being introduced,
emphasized the points OF agreement
between Mr.. Maddox and Prohlbl
tionists. We, too, are loyal to the
constitution We hold, also, that what
ever interferes with the purposes OF
government is reasonable and I'M
american.
The saloon menaces life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness. The speaker
quoted Warden Wolfer to the effec'
that at least 60 per cent of the inmates
of the State Penitentiary are there De

effective testimony was adduced from

 No person who conscientiously be- lieves that the seventh day of the week ought to be observed as the Sabbath, and actually refrains from secular bu- siness and labor on that day, or who conscientiously believes that the Sab bath begins at sundown on Friday night and ends at sundown on Satur- day night, and actually refrains from secular business and labor during said period, and who has filed written no- lice of such belief with the prosecuting attorney of the court having jurisdie- tion, shall be liable 10 prosecution for performing secular business and labor on Sunday, provided he disturbs no other person who Is attending public worship"
 Having complied with all the re- quirements of the law, even 10 giving the Prosecuting Attorney notice Of his intention, MT.
