PERSONAL PRIVILEGE AND PROHIBITION
By DAVID LLOYD
To Editor of Copper Era:

To Editor of Copper Era:
 find the past two weeks that many of my Clifton and Morenci friends wish me to write my views concerning the ruling of the Supreme Court of the State on February 18th, on the question of receiving liquor for personal use While l. am at it I might just as well join personal reas- ohing along with it, as to my mind, they are analogous.
 My friends think that because am in hot water with certain class of people here, because of my stand against ultra-fanatical "Rinehartism, :" that a few more degrees of tempera- trre won't hurt me very much. if any, at all. -. sThe Supreme Court ruled that it wasn't a crime to drink intoxicating Aquor in the State of Arizona, all though the adherents of 'uitra-fanatica1 Rinehartism claim that the :prohibi- tien amendment does make it so, but nevertheless, they will be certain sure next election and will endeavor by that time to have an amendment to the Arizona Constitution. to keep them out They better leave well enough alone as there is such a thing as going too far in reforms in this desert dry climate of Arizona.
 4 man is a pretty poor specimen of man that hasn't got sufficient back bone to stand by his own convictions Come What May" President Viii con has shown that he has the cour- nge. of his convictions with the differ 1nt, problems that he has met since he great European war and will have good many more before it is over: :: And an editor has to stand by his edf- torials, if he was to change them to please the, views of his subscribers, he might as well hunt up another job. This most probably is true from your own experience. Human beingS are human beings because they can req son. Civilized human beings are supposed to reason to some purpose, yielding intelligent decisions and moral judgments. Unless mans convictions are his own; unless his acts and words represent his own best judgment, in what respect is he a man? To what purpose has he a mind if not to use it? That there are too many persons who are not trying to be themselves but to be what ,other people want them to be is very apparent to me.
 St. Paul said: Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong '-1 Corinthians 16: 13
 Longfellow wrote in his Psalm of Life: Be not like driven cattle, but heroesl (and heroins) in the strife"

jams, a young minister from England Welshman by birth, ordained in the Established Church, but a Puritan in sentiment, came to America, and be- came the pastor of the Congregational Church in Salem, Massachusetts. But his views of religious liberty soon out ran those of the Puritans, and raised storm of opposition against him. He held that the civil government should leave every soul free to wor ship God according to his own con science. But this doctrine could not be tolerated. He had also embraced Baptist views of the ordinances. He was therefore tried, convicted and banished. In 1636, in mid-winter, he fled to the wilderness, and dwelt among the sayages of the forest, who showed him greater kindness than the Puritans and Pilgrims
 He at length settled on the borders of Narragansett Bay, and called his settlement Providence. Here he pro- claimed religious liberty to all who came. In 1889, he was baptized, and founded Baptist church, and in the colony Of Rhode Island he es- tablished the first human government in modern times that granted perfect religious freedom, and completely separated church from State.
 Today Providence is the capital of Rhode Island with a population of about 1000. Ultra-fanatical 'Rine- hartism' was upheld by the Baptists here as well as all over Arizona along with other denomina-
 tions, doesn't show up very well in comparison with tle above informa- l ton from Jan. 1st, 1915 to Feb. 12, 1916. And this is supposed to be the enlightened 20th Century of civili- zation. To me it is very amusing to find that there are still some peo- pie thinking that 1 have been paid for my two previous letters against Arizona's drastic and bigoted prohibit
 tion amendment, what I have termed ultra-fanatical "Rinehartism, and that I made money on my books. I sold the books at actual cost, 35 cents each, explaining my stand was more
 to me than any financial compensa- tion. All the matter with such peo- pie, they judge me after their own
 standard and what they would have l done under the same circumstances. | What their narrow-minded supposi-
 tion is and what Gods knowledge is, are two different things, but He
 knows, so All is Well.''
 I trust that this letter is my final one as my views are pretty well known by this time. If this letter has helped any one in any way l am amply rewarded for my writing It is now -10:50 p. m. so will close by advising all my ultra-fanatical prohi- bition friends to read as follows: Christ's Sermon on the Mount-St. Matthew, ,, 6, [, Chapters.
 King Solomon: -"Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish and wine unto those that be of heavy hearts. .'-Proverbs XXXI:6.
 St. Paul:-'Be not drunk with wine wherein is excess. .'-Ephesians 5:1S.

three churches, with the exception of
 the spasmodic impulse about three
 months before last election. Abso-
 lutely nothing has been done by them couldn't be more apathetic if they
 had done it purposely. Here's three
 churches with good social qualities with no temperance organization at
 all. Why not form a good templar's lodge and be up and doing active tenn
 perance work. Temperance is a Christian principle, so why isn't it
 looked after better as an auxiliary to the higher and purer life?
 Plenty of work here for the Shep- herds to get after the lost sheep, as the sheep never hunt up the Shep- herd but go further away; little
 more personal work of such nature
 and less work in politics will do more good for the success of the churches. Up to fifty years ago most of the

 to. " But today religious liberty and 1 tolerance is allowed in all heather 1 Japan But from Jan. 1st, 1915 to Feb. 12th, 1916 (the Supreme Courts decision) there was posted all over l Arizona with it's 11S 956 square miles large sign board Statute book) with heav,-,. black words saying: Take No- ftice-Re Religious liberty and tolerance 1 is strictly prohibited within the con- fines Of this State.

 to.
 Since last election I find that a good many church members in the
 district are just as hay about the
 meaning of religious liberty and tol-
 erance as they are about the compost ton of a comet-all they know is that they are church members and her 10 support the pastor and be- i lieve that their church is the best.

The Cath tolics in Clifton are much stronger
 than the three Protestant churches combined. Supposing it had been the Catholic church that had taken the leading part in the last election to kprohibit wine for sacramental pur> poses instead of the Protestant churches? What a howl would have
 gone up, enough to waken up Old
 Mars and rend the canals asunder.
 If the water came down on Arizona
 and gave the ultra fanatical drys a

 some good, with an extra drench for
 few in Clifton that l personally know need it pretty bad.

saloon keepers that kept an orderly place have to stand the result of the disorderly ones.
 While I have only contended for wine for medicinal and sacramsnfal purposes. and alcohol for compound ing prescriptions, the personal use clause is entirely satisfactory to me as all other states (1S) have it on cer7 tain conditions. I presume that the, people in those states are just as in telligent as those in Arizona and are willing to allow personal use. '
 MT. A. R. Bucknam, one of the |staunchest supporters of the liberal view of Arizona's prohibition amends ment, who has worked for the cause of temperance in Cochise county for the past two years and the direct Representative of the anti-sa1oon lea que is quoted as saying: s. :,
 T consider the decision a victory for the couse of temperance. It vindicates our leaders and I think its effect will be to forever banish the saloon from the state of Arizona. The work along the same lines and en- deavor to secure legislation which will Iregulate the traffic, something after the Kansas statutes" MT. Bucknam probably accomplish ed more than any other man in the prohibition campaign. His work was begun before there was general un7 lderstanding that there was going to be a campaign. It was conducted lquietly and by organization.
 Of course tho nrny leaders here who failed to gct Clifton dry will con demn MT. Bucknam because of his liberal views even when he was the means Of mal1in% Cocnise county dry where Bisbee alone has more popu- lation than the whole of Greenlee county. sf.f
 Tie elimination of saloons with all it's attendant evils is tEe corner stone for true and sane temperance. It is for the Christian church, and obliga- tory on all it's members, to get after those that claim that they must have liquor for personal use;" to help the
 wobblers who find their backbones weakening under temptation; to teach men to be masters of their ap- petite. When this is done the prob lem is solved { It has taken nineteen hundred years of Christian teaching to bring man kind to the state of control it has at present. It IS IOOllSn, III UAe extreme, to suppose that now in a few short years, by acts of legisla- ton, we are going to root out a moral difficulty.
 Jesus Christ was no prohibitionist and said very little on the drink ques- tion, although the evils in His day where similar to those of today :. Jesus Christ drank wine and made it at Cana. It is one of the hardest pills for the ultra prohibitionist to swallow why Jesus Christ didn't fight with all His energy against what they understand to be the great est evil and curse of mankind.
 I would have felt better towards the amendment and certainly would not have been so aggressive as have. If any general temperance work had been done the past five years by the

CANALS CONSOLIDATED

SAFFORD Consolidation of the Graham, Bryce and Oregon canals is being effected as a result of the re- cent damage by floods in the upper Gila valley. The floods practically de stroyed the last two canals. Instead of rebuilding along the old lines, farmers have decided to build new canal, following closely the line of the old Graham. The new canal will be IA feet wide, and the work will be completed in three weeks. The cost is estimated at $10,000.
