immunity of some sort. Why is
a license proposed? Do we lic-
ense proper and needful bust

not. Then why should we lie
ense the traffic in intoxicating
liquors? If it is a necessary and
useful business it will need no
license any more than groceries,
general stores or other needful

and if it is an unnecessary and
harmful business, as every one
knows it to be, then why should
it be licensed? Oh, some one

viii listen to the singing of this
siren. This is a song that has
been sung for years and years
long past and put many disgrun-
tied persons to sleep. The true
answer is this, income is not an
asset, but a liability, which is as
easily demonstrated as any arith-
metfcal problem. But if it were
true that license fees are assets
I want to know if our people are
ssrdid enough to barter manhood
and the good of society for dol
lars? ! can not believe that the
people are Of as low a strata as
that would show. But if it come
to that we prove ourselves that
sOrdid as to sustain this PROPOSE
ton for the dollars, then why
not go after every thing which
will bring US dollars? Let us Ii
cense the many other outrages
and crimes against humanity for
the dollars realized therefrom.
If license to traffic in intoxicat-
ing liquors should carry, then
why not license gambling and
prostitution and give them con-
stitutiOnal sanction, as they are
fit companions of and indissOlu-
bly, connected with the traffic in
intoxicating liquors. But some
say we have the saloon and the
proposition seems to be that will
give US the better solution posi-
ble for it. The person who be-
lieves this must evidently have
gone TO the wrong school or 10

est way to convince us of the fac
that is possible. Their faith anC
works run in such opposite direc.
tions. There is not a day they
do not violate some regulatory
law, and are working constantly
to change or repeal such laws SC
as to render them of no effect.
When the constitutional conven.
ton was in session they were
there in advocacy of license, and
claimed, also, that they were in
favor of regulation, but wanted
that feature left to the legisla-
ture. They were there to re-
move every hindrance to the
traffic. but they failed to get what
they desired, which was to re-
all or as many of the re-
strictions upon the traffic as pos
sible. They wanted to make it
lawfully as free as they are prac-
tically making it under regula-
tory laws. They want the sane
ton of law for all their outlaw
~, that is, license; but instead
got license with restrictions and
now hope to secure the vote of
The good people to adopt. It will
doubtless now be asked aren't
hose restrictions all right and
will they not operate against the
Evil effect of the traffic? May
his question not be answered by
saying all those restrictions are
secured or may be secured under
he present constitution, which
lenies license to be granted to
,rafic in Intoxicating liquors and
;onfers power upon the legisla-
ure to provide by law against
he evils resulting from the ira
fic in intoxicating liquors. Under

orAething no person thinks nec-
'ssary to give to a needful and
beneficial pursuit Of life. and by
which the saloon will become the
more firmly entrenched and
