SOME PROHIBITION THOUGHTS

We have thought 1t well at this
time TO give considerable space on the
editorial page Of The Intclligancer to
the question OF prohibition, and the
evils OF liquor. Hence there will be
found some food for thought along
this line. and we trust that those who
read The Intelligcncer this morning
will study the subject from the an
giles presented. OF course you do rot
have to agree with all that Is said,
but we trust you will be entirely hon
est In your views In opposition. We
grant you this privilege. and expect
you to arrive at your own conclu-
sions as honestly and with as much
thought and observation as we have
arrived at ours. Then. IL you have
ono logical argument against prohi-
bition. let us have It, We shall be
pleased to give you space for your
views nationally expressed.

Christmas Is coming and doubtless.
even though cotton is selling at seven

this In one Of the boxes that will be
placed to receive the funds for our

THE PROHIBITION, QUESTION

The question of prohibition will not
down anywhere, and 1t Is only matter
of time when the entire world will be
without intoxicating liouore. It may be
after this generation shall have passed
away. but the signs of the times point
to a speedy realization Of this dream
Of men. and this reign OF reason. It
is no longer question OF whether
or not temperance Is proper. because
It has been proven time and time
again that the temperate man, the
teetotaler, has a clearer brain and a
steadfer nerve than he who drinks, be
1t ever 80 little. and the business
world places discount on the drink
ing man. Therefore the problem now
Is how to make 1t impossible for a
man to be other than q temperate man,
even IL he 30 desires. With this In
view. the advocates OF temperance
have sought TO obtain laws prohibiting
the sale OF liquor. In this they have
been moderately successful. and today
many states in the union are entirely
dry" The demand is now for the
United States to become so, and It Ia
reasonably certain that the present
generation will see this true. One
after another OF the states haze out
lawed King Alcohol, and an effort is
being made to place South Carolina
In the ranks OF those where It is un-
lawful to sell liquor.
OF course there are opponents To
this measure, and the proposition will
be fought. There is no doubt as 10
what the verdict OF the, people will be
II they ever get chance to vcie on
the question. SO the effort will be to
keep them from being allowed the op-
portunity 10 vote on 1t. But this we
believe will be defeated. There is too
insistent o demand for even the most
partisan politician to refuse to heed,
and the will be almost sure to pass
the legislature in January, giving the
State the right to vote next Septem.

AN OBJECT LESSON

That was q sad story the Detroit
Free Press printed about Champ
Clark, O sad story. While delivering
an address in that city, he was so
much under the influence Of ljaror
that 1t became necessary to let down
ltae stage curtain while ne was speak
eag and lead him away from the thea
tre.S we suppose there Is almost no,n-
Ing Clark would not do to prevent
the repetition OF snch a scene, EXCEPT
possibly the one. thing that would
make II impossible Of recurrence
: to stop drinking. .'0- God, 'that men
ehnnM Dut. an -eEsmy in their mouths
TO steal away their brains" AMI.
aBatn from Shakespeare:. "Reputation,
reputation, reputation! / Oh, I have lost
; my reputation. I!haveS lost the immor-
tal part Of myself. and what remains
Is De6Gaat,'' ~'rrl-, - ~.s...
The worst of 1t is that men are mo
more willing to wear second hand
garments Of experience than of cloth.
There will be. those who will gibe at
Clark or be sincerely sorry for his
tall. who will not profit by his ex-
ipertence. but win go. on drinking, de-
inding themselves with the though:
that they know, how to drink. The
only absolute safety is abstenance.
ANY man who drinks at all Is liable
to have the experience that Clark
had and now probably repents Slmost
with tears os h!ccd. The agony of
strong man at making an ass of
himself is truly pitiful and pitiable.
Clark has only himself to blame.
During his long and useful life, he
hes seen what liquor drinking did to
othera and yet he risked q similar
fate. Thbs trouble with the man who
{ can drink or let It alone" Is that he
usually drinks.
