The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1914-09-19
CONGRATULATIONS.

WE congratulate the independent,
right-thinking Democrats of this
county on the showing they made for
Cecil in Tuesdays primary. Whereas
the crack of the ring masters whip
put Price over in other counties of the
Shore by tremendous majorities, many
outstanding Democrats in this county
declined to be whipped into line" and
Price pulled through by bare ma
jority of 20 votes, despite the strenu-
Gus efforts of the Organization" Evil
IDENTIFY there are lots of Democrats in
this county who are not going to de-
mean themselves by being the abject
followers of any such an "organiza-
tiOn"
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1914-09-19
TAKE THE LARGEST VIEW.

ONLY a few more weeks and this
county will be called on TO decide whe-
Their We will continue fer four more
years under our present l.o-license re-
gime, or whether we will throw away
all we have gained, turn back the
hands of time and progress, and fill
the county once again with licensed
bar-rooms. 1t only needs statement
of the case, square face to face con-
ception of the issue, to pretty well
settle the average mans judgment as
to his course.
We have lived for years under the
no-license system, and it has been no
millenlial era. There have been viola
lions of the law-many of them.
There has been drinking and drunken
ness-much of it. Let us have no
controversy about things that are not
controversial. Let us steer clear OF
argument over things that are not
debatable. Let US admit, if you
please, that the law has weaknesses,
that its enforcement mas been imper-
feet, that our social and moral condi-
ton is far from satisfactory. Take
all that for yours, if it so please you
good friend. But then lift yourself out
of the argumentative mood and be-
come contemplative and judicial. Just
ask yourself: "Do / want to bring
back the licensed bars in the county?
Would they improve our imperfec.
social and moral estate? Would they
help the enforcement of law and the
good-order of our community? Would
they increase our industrial activity,
fatten the larders of our homes, fill
faster the cash drawers of our mer-
chants ?" There is much in our pres
ent condition which you do not like.
We agree with you, but when it comes
to making change we are not ready
to jump from the frying pan into the
fire. Neither, we believe, are the peo-
pie of this county. We cannot think
they are going to reverse record of
many years and restore all the politi-
cal, industrial, social and moral ills
that always have come and always
will come with the licensed saloon.
Your personal habits are not in
question. Your individual freedom is
not up for consideration. The whole
matter that you are to decide in voting
is whether the community is better off
with or without the licensed bars.
