State Prohibition.

Is the only means by which the
whiskey traffic can be suppressed
in the United States.
Article 10 of the amendment to
the Constitution Of the United
States reads:
"The power not delegated to
the United States by the Consti-
tuition nor prohibited by it to the
States are reserved to the States
respectively or to the people.
Hence the general government
hos no power under the conStitu-
ton to suppress it.
The General Government had
no power under the constitution
to free the slaves, but under the
conditions existing at that time
and by force of arms the govern
ment did-it was a violation OF
state rights as guaranteed by the
constitution to the states to regu-
late their own internal affairs,
but freeing the slaves by force of
arms did not destroy thedoctrine
of state rights it still lexists and
is the only guarantee we have a
gainst strong centralized gov
eminent, hence prohibition of the
manufacture and sale of ardent
spirits can only be accomplished
by the states one by one.
Local option will never accom-
plish this end, from the fact that
it is unstable and it would be al
most impossible to get all the
counties or parishes of state to
suppress it.
But when the states by cOnsti-
tutional amendment suppresses it
then it is banished from the en-
tire state. SO the only means to
cffectually suppress sit is by state
after state. until the entire Unit
ed States have done so.
