A NATIONAL CALAMITY.

T have believed in the regulation, not the prohibition of the liquor traf- fic,' says Dr. Lyman Abbott, but the action of liquor dealers has made regulation impossible"
 The secretary of the Ohio Temper ance Union Ga liquor organization wrote to Doctor Abbott asking for a letter which could be used in the state prohibition campaign. Doubtless he Is sorry he did it. The reply came as an open letter in the Outlook and is a severe arraignment of the saloon as a lawbreaker. It's law-defying pro- pensities have, in the judgment of Doctor Abbott, been it's undoing. We quote:
 'The American people are charac- teristically conservative and slow in coming to a conclusion. But they are coming to the conclusion, though slowly. that the American saloon is not only local nuisance but a na- tional calamity and are resolving to abolish it.
 The question is not. Is beer a use full article of food?
 Tt is not, Is moderate drinking wrong?
 It is not, Does the Bible prohibit or permit moderate drinking?
 These questions the people would prefer to leave each individual free to determine for himself.
 But they are not willing to leave each individual to determine for him. self whether the laws enacted by the community shall be obeyed. That question the community will decide and it will suffer any inconvenience, any deprivation. which may be neces- sary to secure such obedience. This is the meaning of the present prohibit tory movement.
 But if the people are compelled to choose between an unregulated and lawless liquor traffic and the prohibi- tion of the liquor traffic, I do not doubt that they will choose prohibit tion. If we cannot reform the saloons. we shall abolish them. And If we can find no other way to abolish them, we shall abolish the distillery, the brew cry, the winery and the importation of liquor from abroad"
