YOUNG MEN TO VOTE.
Governor Believes They viii XIII Pro.
hlbltlon Law

Augusta, Meow. Plaisted, OF
Maine, in recent interview, declared
that nine-tenths of the young men OF
Maine will vote at the coming election
to have the prohibition amendment
taken out Of the constitution Of that
state. "The young men Of Maine want
something else to think Of except the
rum question" said the governor.
maine is state Of great and mag.
nifcent undeveloped resources, and
the time is at hand when the young
men Of the state are going to de.
velop these resources, but first they
desire to get this hypocrisy Of the or.
ganic law of Maine out Of the way.
Maine, believe, is entering upon a
new era. We want to be rid of this
-starnal ii.lpor question and ] feel that
the time is now at hand when the vo-
tiers of Maine will see that 1t is settled
once for all by having 1t taken from
the constitution, for they are tired OF
trifling with the subject. Personally,
do not favor county option. That
would still mean too unwieldy a subject
to handle. l prefer the town option
plan. Under this latter system the
people of Maine would really have
>self-government and the people could
then deal with the problem as 1t seem
ed the most desirable In their own 10
calities. When these things come tc
pass Maine will cease to be state
which is ridiculed because she has
laws which are openly violated every
day In the year."

STATE TO VOTE.
West Virginia to Decide on Prohibition
Amendment to Constitution.

Charleston, w. Va.-West Virginia
Is one of the states which will vote
soon on statewide prohibition. An
amendment to the constitution to per,
NIT the submission of the question to
the voters was passed by the last gen.
eral assembly. The vote will be cast
on the proposed prohibition amend.
ment at the general election in 1912.
The last election on statewide prohi.
bitlon in West Virginia was held "a
years ago, and prohibition amend.
ment was rejected by a majority Of
10000.
The recent election in Texas, re-
sulting in that state rejecting a pro,
hibition amendment; the return to II,
censed saloons in Alabama and the 40,
ton of many dry" counties in West
Virginia In repudlatlng county option,
has resulted in strong sentiment
against the amendment throughout the
state. The prohibition leaders, how.
ever, have started their campaign by
the organization of clubs in the inte-
rlor counties. They are making eff.
forts to align themselves with one OF
the two big political parties, but so
far both Democrats and Republicans
have regarded the issue as two-edge
sword.

This week we have the pleas
ure of inserting in the columns
of the COURIER the announce
ment of Rev. G. V. Lykins, of
Grassy Creek, as a candidate for
the Democratic nomination for
County Judge Of Morgan county.
When the Office seeks the man,
and not the man the Office, and
not until then, will the affairs of
Morgan county be placed upon a
safe, sound basis. This we have
reason to believe and do believe,
is the case in this instance, and
we further believe that Mr.. Ly-
kin's solicitors have acted from
a sense of loyalty to the inter-
ests oftheir people rather than
from sentiment. Mr.. Lykins is
a Morgan county Democrat of
the old school, a man of mature
age and we'll acquainted with the
needs Of the people. A minister
of the gospel for many years,
honest, fearless, conscientious
and capable, he combines in a
marked degree the qualities
which the chief officer of a coun-
ty should possess, and will, II
nominated and elected, make a
Judge of whom his constituents
will be justly proud. He has
never asked for Office before and
presents his claims at this time
at the earnest solicitation of his
friends.
Give his claims careful consid,
Grafton and then vote for the
best interests of yourself anC
your countrymen.

the announcement of Sam
R. Lykins, of Caney, for the
Democratic nomination for
Sheriff Of Morgan county,
and in presenting his claims
to the readers of the COURT
Err we do SO without hesita-
ton or misgiving. A prac-
tical business man, he would
so administer the affairs of
the Office to which he aspires
that the people of Morgan
county would have no fears
of Encouragement or defal-
cation. Honesty unques-
toned and unchallenged
courage, the two most es-
sential qualities in the make
up of a good sheriff, are his.
A native son of the county
he wishes to serve, in the
full yigor Of manhood, with
an ambition to do we'll what
ever he undertakes, a Dem
ocrat who is not afraid to
dare and do for his party's
cause and a loyalty to his
friends and his people that
never falters, we commend
him to the voters of Morgan
county as a man worthy Of
their confidence and supper
and ask for him a just con
sideration at their hands.

Says Laws Can Not Make Meh, TEN
perate and Believes in Local
A Option.

Louisville, Ky.-Dr. e. L. POWELL
for twenty years one of the most bril-.
liant ministers in a local pastorate,
and leader in the cause Of good gov.
eminent, has gone on record against
the principles Of prohibitory laws.
In recent communication to the
Louisville, Courier-Journal, DR.. Powell
says: Prohibition differentiates cul
ture through restraint as contra-dis
tinguished from culture through lib.
erty. From this standpoint the argu
ment Is still against prohibition.
Statutory enactment is powerless to
make man love righteousness. It
was because the law was failure,
both as prohibitive and injunctive, that
the Gospel was given unto man, EN-.
phasizing the great truth that not out.
ward conformity to statutory pro.
visions can make character, but only
love of the right or obedience to the law
because Of an educated moralistic
preference for the right.
Opposes Statewide.
II am opposed to statewide prohi.
bition because legal prohibition does
not and can not change the existing
and confessedly recognized evils Of the
liquor traffic. The best that law can
do in the realm of moral conduct is tc
regulate. No prohibitory statute Of
any kind prohibits. The regulation o.
the liquor traffic by means Of higf
license, and local option, is the yer.
best that law can do at this time. A
one time was a member Of the Anti
Saloon league board Of the state, and
although no longer member Of thu
board, am just as honestly and sin
cerely temperance man, but hav,
not believed, and do not believe, tina
the evils of the liquor traffic will eve
be eradlcated by way of prohibition.
