A FINAL WORD TO THE vo
TIERS OF MISSOURI.

Since this is the last appea.
which can be made through the
public press to the voters of Mis-.
souri, with reference to the Pro.
hibition Amendment, it shall be
the purpose of this article to
briefly sum up the reasons why
this proposed change in the Con
stltution of the State should be
defeated ON November Sth:
LIST. Because it violates the
sacred right of local self gov
ernment-the great fundamental
principle upon which our Repub-
lie was founded and upon which
it must ever rest if the ideals
which prompted the Declaration
of independence r to remain in
tact. In a country like ours. the
community sustains the same re-
latlon toward the government as
the stone and mortar which enter
into the foundation for a house.
1t is the great base upon which
the whole supersGructure rests.
and even as the house crumbles
and falls when the stone and NOR
tar are attacked, just so surely
viii our national idealism dis
integrate once it drifts away
from the mornings to which our
forefathers anchored it. WEI
have become a great nation be-
cause our ideals are great. We
have been inyincible in war and
in commerce because our country
is made up Of innumerable com
which from the days Of
Hill down to the present
hour have felt that they are an
Independent part Of the great
yhole-that they have a positive
in the shaping of their own
Iestily and the destiny Of county,
nation. Let him who
