National Prohibition.

The proposition recently agitated
to have the entire country under ma
tional prohibition is probably the
widest scheme that has yet been pro-
posed. II the Prohibitionists know
anything-which seems to be very
doubtful-they would know that under
national prohibition thousands OF
homes would be turned into distiller-
ies. Invention has progressed far
enough TO enable the citizen to buy
himself a neat little still at a mod
crate price, or make one himself, IL
he has only ordinary mechanical skill.
The product OF these home stills,
popularity known as prohibition
whisksy," Is a really wonderful and
horrible compound, containing more
hellfire to the quart than ordinary
whiskey does to the barrel Thou
sands Of these home stills are now in
operation in prohibition States and
their number is constantly increas-
ing.
Do the Prohibitlonists imagine that
Uncle Sam, after losing $SO0,OO0.0D
revenue through prohibition. will be
able to afford to employ an army of
spies to watch the homes of the citi-
Eens all over the country?
And here we might stop to ask
them TO propose to the people Of the
United States some scheme of taxa
tion which will meet general approval,
such taxation to take the place OF
the liquor tax. When they can do
this, they will have gone far toward
proving the fiseal feasibility Of prohi-
bition, IL nothing else.
Speaking on the subject OF national
fhn fat
men at the Capitol had this to say
regarding the prohibition. amend
ment:
''It cannot and will not be enforced any
more than the amendment giving the fanchiss
to the colored 1ce, amendment which Il
hAgrantly and openly violated by common con-
sent, thus depriying the colored citizens Of .
right granted them under this amendment, but
worse than all, Saddling upon the American
people the onus and dishonor Of disregarding
one Of the provisions Of their fundamental law.
Is not this a bad thing for our children to
read in their hist0riesI Win slch an example
teach them Teneration for our Constitution
Prohibition In the Schools.
School books on liquor and alco-
hol beverages have been introduced
in the educational systems of many
cities and towns of the country, pre-
sumably to teach children temper
ance. Instead. the children are
taught a lot of statistics which are
absolutely untrue. The worst part
of this business Is that the children
are frequently made wise" by their
fathers as to the true nature of the
temperance education" they are re-
ceiving. thus inculcating a contempt
for everything that is taught in the
school.
II any place should be held sacred
from irresponsible statements. the
school is that place. But when even
the churches are -desecrated with
these utterly false Statistics" how
can we expect the school to, escape.
I hope, therefore, that we are on
the eve OF sensible solution of
this question. and that the example
Of other civilized nations in making
a distinction In the treatment of ar
dent spirits and the lighter bever-
ages will be followed by our legis-
lators in the States and at the Ma
tional Capital Of our beloved coun-
try.

True Nature Of Prohibition.

The true nature Of the prohibition
propaganda is therefore a combina-
ton of the religious and the political
the Church and the State. 1t is be-
coming plain to many earnest, think
ing men, both of the clergy and the
laity, that this politico-religious OIL
garchy, masquerading under the cloak
Of an alleged moral movement. Is be-
coming grave danger to the coun-
try. More than a year ago a proml-
nent politician from the South assert
ed in a private conversation that an
inter-denominational oligarchy, with
prohibition as a pretext, is holding
the politics and politicians Of many
Southern States by the throat with
