The Folly Of Prohibition.

Editor Clarion.-WiIl you please
publish che following article, taken
from the Chicago American? Il is
one Of the strongest arguments
against the folly of prohibition that I
have ever seen. ANTI-PROHIB.
Against the evil of excessive drink
this newspaper has worked system
aticaIIy for years. Every n Of our
readers knows that we have over and
over warned against strong drink, de-
nounced the dangerous results of
drinking whiskey and other vile, in
toxicating, poisonous, highly alcoholic
connections.
st is because we realize the harm
done by drunkenness, the danger of
whiskeY drinking that we deplore the
earnest, sincere, well-meant, but
harmful, efforts Of the prohibitionist.
Temperance will never come from
prohibition, from the attempts Of a
minority to coerce a majority Of the
people.
The truly temperate man is the
III who controls himself, not the
mar who is controlled by somebody
else not The man compelled BY a law
making minority TO do what he ought
to do.
For many years the world has
grown gradually more temperate,
Drunkenness has gradually diminished.
Less than two hundred years ago,
drunkenness was not only tolerated,
bot rather admired among the great
esq men, The directors Of governments
Nov if Is tolerated nowhere, and only
piled 10 the gutter.

LOUISIANA ZOE HOGS.

An agricultural mass meeting held
yesterday at Ruston, in this State,
largely through the exertion Of Con
gresham Ransdell, who has arranged
a series Of such assemblages, n Of
the speakers declared that Louisiana
is above all the country for raising
hogs, says the Picayune.
Never wal a more timely and re-
liable declaration uttered to a body
of Louisiana farmers.
There has never been any question
about the ability Of Louisiana to fur
aish subsistence in prodigal abun-
dance for swine, the only difficulty
was there was no certainty that
there would be at the proper time
weather suitable for Strengthening.
No such difficulty exists to-day,
and We will do well to learn a lesson
from Chicago, which has set so many
distinguished examples Of enterprise.
Forty years ago ST. Louis led in
slaughtering and packing hogs. The
business was carried on only in the
winter season, while the extensive es-
Establishments stood empty and idle
during the warm time of the year.
When Chicago took up the slaughter
iag industry the great disadvantage
of keeping plants and people idle for
more than half the year was imme-
diately remarked upon, and it was
proposed TO make the business an all
the-year operation by the use Of ice
in cooling the packing and storerooms.
This was tried with such success that
summer packing was as much a GER
tainty as was the winter business.
To-day cold storage by artificial
means does away with ice and is
more advantageous.
We have got cold storage and the
practicabiIity Of conducting a slaugh-
tering and packing industry is COM
plete. Then for the hogs. Louisi-
ana can make all Of the corn that is
wanted, but, in addition, there is an
endless variety and boundless supply
Of wild nuts, fruits and roots upon
which the hogs can feast until the
time when it becomes necessary to
soiidify the fat and muscle with a
few weeks feeding of corn.
Never was there a more practical
remark than the suggestion al the
Ruston farmers meeting about hogs.
Let the matter be taken up at once
# our people have the enterprise.
The money can be got.

drinks, penalizing with high license
or otherwise, the use Of such drinks.
And public opinion, common sense,
and the law should not only permit
but encourage the sale, IN decent
resorts under decent conditions, Of
che natural light wines and beers
that mean real temperance.
This is the lesson that history
teaches, With no exception whatever.

ton Of the drink problem ii this
