Shall the democratic party declare
for State Wide prohibition and go be-
fore the people at the November cleo
ton with that as the paramount issue?
Some Of the candidates for the nomina-
ton for State offices are undertaking
to force the issue of State wide and
are asking the party TO make that the
real test of fitness for the nominee
selected by democrats of the state at
the August primary. The democratic
orgination has been the real representa-
tive of the temperance sentiment in
this state for number of years. Six
years ago, democratic administration
gave the people partial County Unit
law. Four year ago the party declared
for County Unit and later enacted
law that makes the county the unit
throughout the state. The question is
being pertinently asked. "Has the
County Unit law been given a fair
test?" ''Does it meet the present needs
of the people OF the state?" 'Are we
ready for Statewide prohibition"
There are hundreds of democrats in
this state who have heretofore fought
in season and out for County Unit who
now fear the results should the party
undertake at this time Statewide pro-
hibition. Among those we find the
distinguished editor of the Elizabeth

DARIUS

The neigh of a horse made Darius
King of Persia, the six contending
powers for the throne agreeing among
themselves that the one whose horse
should neigh first should possess the
kingdom. This ancient method of
settling disputes among politicians
could be revived with profit today.
If our partisan factions and petty pol
iticians could only settle their dis
putes by the neigh of a horse, the
bark of dog or the bray of a donkey,
it would be a great blessing and would
give our citizens a better opportunity
to pursue the vocations of industry
free from political strife
Let those who pick political plums
by raising rows and who flash swords
dripping in the blood of industry I'M
derstand that they cannot turn the
public forum into a political arena and

THE LAYMAN'S DUTY

There never was time wnen

Washington telegraph., 1915-06-18

tioning and il never will. 1t has sent
more freaks to Congress, Lilliputians
to the Senate and incompetents to
office than any other political issue
under the sun.
The recent experience of the Eng
lish Parliament which dashed itself
into a fury over the liquor question
has a lesson that it is well for the
farmers Of this nation to observe; for
the subject in some form or other is
constantly before the public foY<solu-
ton and ofttimes to the exclusiez of
more important problems to the Amer
lean plowmen.,
Too Many Political Drunkards.
Lloyd-George, the Prohibition leader
of Europe who led the prohibition fight
in England. has declared that he will
never again take a drink politically
and there are many American politi-
cians-pro and anti-who would render
their country a service by climbing
on the water wagon or signing pledge
of political temperance. Too often
our legislative halls are turned into
political bar-rooms and many of the
members become intoxicated on liquor
discussions. We have too many polit-
ical drunkards-pro and anti-in our
public affairs. No one who is a slave
to the political liquor habit is quite
so capable of dealing with the bust
ness affairs of government as the
sober and Industrious. We have few
public men in this day who are strong
enough to resist the temptation Of
strong drink politically and when the
demon Rum once becomes firmly en-
trenched in the mind of a politician,
he is less capable of meeting the de-
mands for constl ictive craftsmanship
now confronting this nation.
We have in tbs country too many
red-nosed politicians-both pro and
anti. A candidate with political deli
rum tremens, preacher with politi-
cal snakes in his boots and an agitator
drunk on the liquor question are the
saddest sights in civilization and they
should all be forced to take the polit-
ical Kelley Cure.
1t is far more important in govern
ment to make it easier for those who
toll to eat than to make it more diff
ficult for a few topers to drink. There
is not one person in one hundred of
our rural population that ever touches
liquor but we all eat three times a
day.
