LINCOLN THE ABSTAINER.

Shortly after Abraham Lincolnn was
nominated for the presidency BY the
Republican National convention. some
Democratic citizens, feeling that
Springfield had been honored by the
nomination. sentn several baskets of
wine to Mr. LIncolns house He, how
ever. returned them, thanking the

After the formal ceremonies con-

good manners would require that he

REPUBLICAN, FLATTERIES.

The effort OF the Inter-Mountain Re
publican by means OF an editorial en-
titled Past the Danger Point" TO
scare the Mormon church out OF its
attitude for prohibition, is the most
fiagrantly partisan move that We have
seen for a long time.
The editorial first pats the church
on the back for not passing the prohi-
bltion law and then says, II the legls-
lature had passed the law there would
have been a CRY OF church interfer-
ence" on the part OF nou-Mormons, be-
cause the Mormons are so largely in
the majority in the legislature.
Now isn't that an argument? What
Is to hinder people from crying
Church interference If it isn't pass
ed?
Certainly those legislators have a
right 10 vote as they wish regardless
OF church membership. but II Is only
natural that we should expect a moral
measure 10 be passed by them just on
the same ground that we would expect
it to be passed II the majority Of the
senate were composed OF Methodlsts or
Baptists, for the simple reason that
their early church training would nat
urally lead them TO believe that they
should support what IS for the best
moral interests OF all the people
1t Is only natural 10 suppose that the
present public attitude of their church
leaders and their arguments should
have some weight with these leglsla.
tors even II they had by some mis-
chance missed a correct early training
on the subject of temperance II would
probably have such an effect on any
church member, but their voting for
prohibition would not therefore mean
that they had been coerced In any
way by their church.
To the impartial the vote as 1t
stands simply seems to indicate that
those Mormon legislators who voted
against prohibition have not had an
efficient church training on the sub
feet of temperance and 1t Is somewhat
Of a reproach to the church whether
deserved or not.
But there is nothing to hinder both
Mormons and non-Mormons saying to
all these legislators who have voted
against prohibition, Stand aside until
You get an aroused conscience on this
subject We want someone who Will
represent us better"
