SANDS upon thousands of tons Of the
seed were burned or allowed to lie and
rot. But soon there came q change
A method was devised for extracting
the heavy oil content, and little later
the protein value Of cottonseed meal
was discovered. In 1910 the value Of
the oil and meal or cake manufactured
from cottonseed was placed at $140.-

the main pillars of the State-justice
morality, education and religion
Does the liquor traffic help build VI
manhood and give to the State noble
! high-minded, law-abiding, conscien-
tious citizens? Is the liquor traffic
friend of the home, the patron of
education, the guide of youth, the al
moner of the Kingdom of Heaven? Dc
wives rise up and bless its memory
and children gather garlands to lay
at its feet? Do educators and states
men sound forth its praise and COM
mend its virtue and honor, its fidelity
and truth? What say our governors,
our college presidents, our judges and
ministers of the Gospel? What say
our magazines and books and news
papers? What say our police courts,
our jails and penitentia ries? What
say the men who have graduated from
the saloon and taken their diplomas
from the rum bottle? What say all
these voices and pens and tongues
Speak they a word of commentator
They say and the institution bears
record in a list of CHASTITY crimes,
black and hellish and atrocious, that
the liquor traffic is the sum of all viii
lanies, the saloon is a damnable in
stitution. There is not good word
that you can say for it and there is
no word bad enough to stigmatize its
iniquity.
Here is decision from the Ma
tional Supreme Court respecting the
liquor traffic" The statistics of every
State show greater amount of
crime and misery attributable to the
use of ardent spirits obtained at these
liquor saloons than to any other
source" There is no inherent right
in citizen thus to sell intoxicating
liquors by retail. 1t is not a privil-
eye of a citizen of the State or of a
citizen of the United States" Crowley
VS.. Christensen. 1877 U. S. Sc.
The liquor traffic has no inherent
virtues and therefore no inherent or
fundamental rights. The liquor traffic
by the verdict of fundamental law, by
the verdict of the civil law or COM
mon law, by the verdict of the moral
law is NAL in Sc, is in the same class
as slavery, gambling, lotteries, prize
fighting and prostitution; the liquor
traffic has no moral or social or legal
rights. 1t is simply a commercial
monstrosity that exists by federation.
Its continuance is a menace to the
health, peace and happiness of the
commonwealth. Its continuance is
menace to the fundamental principles
of law and government. Now, who
shall rise and in view of these facts
say that a traffic that has no inner
ent and fundamental rights, that
traffic is a menace to common law
and government, that traffic that
subverts the first principles upon
which Constitutions as instruments of
governments are founded and upon
which the peace and prosperity of
nations thrive shall not be dealt with
by fundamental and organic law or in
other words by constitutional law
law which must protect the State
against it's implacable and destructive
enemy?
