minority: You shall not drink beer,
another majority has the right to say
to another minority: You shall not
drink tea. Now, If the people in any
state or town should take it into their
heads to enact law prohibiting the
use of tea, what fearful howl would
go up from the camp of the w. c. Il.
L., and what an unenviabie job the
officers would have in attempting to
enforce such a law! What, deprive
us of our right to serve tea at our
mothers meetings and parlor socia-
bles! Why, it's an outraged "Oh,
but, good ladies, we, the majority
made up as you know of the better
element, have thoroughly Investigated
this matter and we have found that
tea is very injurious. In fact, it's a
poison. Look at the thousands of
women that have gone down to tea
toperS' graves Look at the army of
little innocent children that have
been left motherless,'' etc. AS mat
ter OF fact, many experienced physi-
clans believe that tea and coffee cause
quite as much trouble in the world
as alcohol. The temperance people
will retort: Eyes, but there is a wide
difference between beer and tea" OF
course there is, and that is just why
SO many people prefer the beer But
there Is no difference between the
right to drink the one and the right
to drink the other. Everywhere and
always, outside of Islam, while drunk
enness has been condemned, the mod
crate use of alcoholic beverages has
been custom and has been regarded
as the inherent right of the inui-
vi1ual
The use of alcoholic liquors Is and
has always been considered not only
legitimate as beverage, but it is con-
secrated and hallowed in the most
solemn and weighty rite of the Chris
tan church. Now you cannot, by a
mere law, eradicate a sentiment and
destroy an institution that has stood
for ages, and that is so deeply root
ed in our whole social life. Prohibi-
ton condemns the conscience, the
judgment and the social habits of
countless generations of the most
highly civilized progressive and moral
peoples. Moreover, prohibition passes
condemnation on great branch of
/ tildt mas DeeH recognized
throughout all ages as legitimate. an
industry in which some of the most
venerable and honored religious or
ders of the Christian Church have
been and are today engaged. Prohbi-
ton necessarily fails because it makes
no discrimination between use and
abuse. 1t arbitrarily makes legal
crime of an act which is neither
wrong in itself nor contrary to the
rights and interests of society. Be-
cause two or three men use liquor to
excess, prohibition would compel a
hundred temperate men to follow the
rule of total abstinence. One man
| is lame and therefore all his neigh
| bors must use crutches.

cause it is wholly negative and de-

feet until you remove the cause. You
cannot abolish the liquor traffic UNI
til you abolish the source of the traf-
fic. 1t is not the liquor traffic that
creat the demand for liquor; it is the
demand for liquor that creates the
traffic. And just SO long as the de-
mand continues, just so long will the
supply of liquor be forthcoming in
one way or another. The attempt to
abolish the liquor traffic by prohib-
itory law is as futile as would be the
attempt to dry up a river by building
dam. Prohibitionists seem to i'm
ugine that they are dealing only with
the comparatively few liquor dealers;
whereas they are dealing with the
vast multitude of men that are de-
\ termined to use liquor. They tell us
that the saloon is a curse. Well. be
that as it may. the practical question
is what blessing does prohibition

lial needs of the masses. Students of
social science, men who have spent
years in observing and studying the
saloon and the saloon constituency.
whatever views they may hold as to
the character of this institution as it
now exists agree unanimously on the
fol owing three propositions:
THAT the saloon fills legitimate
social need.
2-That it is practically the only in
titution that does fulfill this need.
3-That it is worse than useless to
attempt to abolish the saloon until
some suitable institution be establish

! The lives of the great majority are
dull and monotonous. The proportion
| of pleasure and leisure is meager and
insufficient. This is as true of rural
as of urban life. but it is too largely
true of the masses everywhere. And
whatever will tighten and brighten
and cheer their lives without too great
a sacrifice will not be readily SURF
dered in the interest of a questionable
moral reform. If men cannot get
this pleasure openly, they will get it
surreptitiously, and even II 1t could be
taken from them by force, they would
resort to substitutes which, in all
Likelihood, would be far more injur-
ious. The saloon exists because there
is demand for it. A prohibitory law
| certainly does not remove this de-
nland 1t does not eradicate the So
cial instinct and the desire to drink
that lie back of the demand. In
short, it does not destroy single one
OF the elements that constitute the
life and power of the saloon. 1t does
not introduce into the community a
single element that acts as an anti
dote for the saloon. The whole root
of this institution remains in the COM
munity intact, undisturbed and vigor-
Gus. Under these circumstances it is
inevitable that the saloon in one

Law enforcement is, in the long
run. dependent on public sentiment.
Moreover, public sentiment, in order
to make itself felt. must be active,
alert and persistent. A mere vague
wish that the law be enforced is not
enough. The wish must be followed
UP by well-organized effort. When
you find a community in which the
government is ring-ridden and cor
rupt it does not mean that the public
| sentiment is in favor of such condi-
tons 1T means that public sentiment
is impotent because it is either mac
tive or unorganized Thus it occurs
| that small minorities can defy and are
| today defying the will of large ma
| jorities.
Just how much of this active and
determined public sentiment is re-
| CURED to insure strict law enforce
ment. depends largely on the char
| acter of the law. A stringent harsh,
sumptuary law, like prohibition, could
| not be enforced unless Ii had on its
side an almost unanimous public sem
| timent, vigilant and well-organized.
Such law has all the odds against
1t. 1t has an uphill job from the out
set. Public officials are, as a rule,
| far more inclined to heed and yield
to the voice of protest against the en-
| forcement of a law of this kind than
they are to make an extraordinary ef-
| fort to enforce the law in obedience
to the demand of the other side. I'm
4 ste 81
many communities where the major
| ity sentiment is strongly opposed to
enforcement, and even prohibitionists
| admit that. in such communities, the
| law becomes a mere farce.
But even under the local option
system, which is supposed to insure To-
| cal majority rule, prohibition, in q
| great many instances does not actual
| ly represent a majority Of the cleo
torate. And the reason is that at a To-
| cal option election, a considerable pro-
| portion of the voters do not mark the
excise ballot at all. In the writer's
| own town, the vote on the license
question, during the last fifteen years,
has always fallen from IL to 20 per
cent short of the total vote cast on
| other questions and for candidates for
| offices. During the period in ques-
ton the town has been carried for
no-license number of times, and in
every instance a minority of the to-
| tai vote polled. Moreover, the public
sentiment in favor of prohibition is
not only not strong enough in guam
tity to enforce the law, but even what
there is of 1t is not of the right quail
ity.
The great majority of those that
vote for prohibition are full of zeal
and enthusiasm up to the time of the
election; but after election their en-
thusiasm dies out and they leave 1t to
others to attend to the matter of law
enforcement. They think that in

BAPTIST CONVENTION.
Will Visit the Queen City OF the Delta'
Next Year.

It is with pleasure that we learned
that the State Baptist Convention,
which was recently in session at Wi
mona, has decided to hold it's next an
nual session in Greenwood.
Several cities over the State extended
urgent invitation for the Convention to
honor them with their next annual ses-
sion. But like all other conventions
that are invited to Greenwood, they
were eager to accept the "Queen City
of the Delta's" invitation, and decided
by large majority to visit us next
year.
The recent session proved most in
teresting one and beneficial to the va
rious districts of that prominent church.
Among those who represented Green
wood at the Winona Convention were
Mesdames w. G. Johnston, Il. M. Aid
ridge, DIR. c. v. Edwards, DIR. w. b.
Dickins and Hon. w. Nj. Wilmington.
We await with pleasure their coming
next year, and as usual, will extend to
them the characteristic Greenwood hos
