Reverence For Law

There is no more sinister element
in the social fabric than disrespect
for or contempt of law. 1t under
mines all government. 1t is incipi-
ant anarchy.
AS an exponent and eXemplifier of
lawlessness and contempt for all
statutes, the liquor traffic is without
a peer in modern civilization or any
other civilization, past or present. 1t
arrogates to itself the right to rule,
and challenges any limitation placed
upon it. 1t is a notorious fact that
in practically all classes of rioous
demonstration against the establish
ed order, the agitators and leaders
are liquor men, or the output of the
saloon. Waving all considerations,
moral economic or physiological,
the government must staunch the
saloon influence that its own per-
petuity may be safeguarded.
The well-known words of Abra-
ham Lincoln are in point
Let reverence for the laws be
breathed by every American mother
to the lisping babe that prattles on
her lap; let it be taught in the
schools, seminaries and colleges; let
it be written in the primers, spelling
books and in almanacs; let it be
preached from the pulpits, proclaim
ed in legislative halls and enforced
in the courts of justice, and in short,
let it become the political religion
of the nation and let the old and the
young, the rich and the poor, the
grave and gay of all sexes and
tongues and colors and conditions
sacrifice increasingly upon its affairs
