Gross inconsistency ~ @ B
q Why is it that we only hear 4

against prohibition? Does not the

also with a mans personal liber-
tyssSs To be consistent, some mem
bers of the General Assembly
should have very strenuously ad-
yocated the repeal of this and other
similar laws. Were not the cham
pions of so-called personal liberty
grossly inconsistent when they, in
effect, deprived thousands of de.
pendent farmers of the right to give
liens upon their crops? By their
ballots these men have made it i'm.
possible for farmers with neither

mote the agricultural and CONNER

must give place to that which will

We grant this to be a sound. de-
'fenaible position; one that we.

+ These modern Don Quixotes> ac-
qulesced in depriving the dependent
class of citizens, of their rights
and liberty" in order to promote
the agricultural interests of the
country by prohibiting, in effect,
the giving of a lien as formerly; but
when it comes to protecting the
homes and safeguarding rising
generations, matter infinitely
more important than promoting the
material interests of the country,
by prohibiting the sale of intoxica-
ting, liquors, plea for "God-given
rights and personal liberty" is
raised in stentorian tones.
A further inconsistency is noted
in that statewide prohibition is OPP
posed by some upon the ground that
each county should act for itself,
yetsom of these same lawmakers
voted to make the anti-lien law
statewide in its application, refus-
ing the requests for exemption
from some counties.
The Advertiser does not wish to |
be understood as favoring the lien
law. On the contrary, we have all
through the years advocated state
vide anti-lien law as strenuously
IS we have a statewide anti-liquor
law.
