Reasons of Mr.. Newhouse.

Our esteemed fellow townsman. Mr..
Samuel Newhouse. has signed an article
In opposition to the prohibition meas
ures now pending before the Legisla-
turc.
The letter OF Mr.. Newhouse would
probably have carried more weight
with the people of Utah, n he had stat
ed merely his conclusions without Civ
ing also HIS reasons for them.
This is because OF the general esteem
In which the writer Of the letter Is
held throughout the state. His stand
ing as a man OF business and Of al
fairs generally would have inclined a
great many 10 adopt or second his
views simply upon his authority and
experience.
But when a writer gives his reasons
for his conclusions, ne takes his read
ers into his confidence. He submits
his facts to them with the inquiry as
70 whether or not his conclusions fol-
low. Since. there fore, this is what Mr.
Newhouse does I'm his letter. We zee at
once that his conclusions are necessarf-
ly subject to comparison with the sup
posed facts upon which they are found
ed
First he remarks that the PRINCIPAL
objections TO prohibitory liquor laws
are that
They Infringe upon the liberty Of tho
individual and awaken resentment i'm
his breast lie quarrels with tho inva-
sion OF what he regards as his personal
rights. Laws that do not appeal 10 the
reason Of the people and to which they
are not committed by sound judgment
and the spirit oc justice never have
been and never viii be effectively en-
forced"
I think, however, that the great ma
jor1ty Of mon will be quite willing to
have their liberty 10 consume intox-
Giants "infringcd' upon or cut OFF en-
urely, If such a personal sacrifice for
tho good Of an will help 90 save the
victims Of strong drink Moreover the
laws would be enforced here, because
the sentiments Of the great majority of
the people are really behind these laws.
Mr.. NewhOuse says further.
1t is common information among the
well informed that prohibition does not
prohibit. that Il dOas not materially di-
minish the consumption OF use Of al
cOholic liquors; that prohibitionists and
drunlSards alike evade the law: that IL
encourages disrespect for all law. and
