THE DEMOCRAT Friday, Octolx-r ft, 1885. M.C. JONES, PUBLISH cn AS > Pit JI’HIET >R 2 uk vitomiunoN question. We an ibunoc-1 iri our hi-fi, issue tliat at no distant day the question would be submitted To the people of this comity whether or not they should pro¬ hibit tin; sale of intoxicating liquors within our bounds, and we placed the Democrat right squarely in favor of prohibition. Our reason for taking tins position, is that wo lion stly be¬ lieve that such a measure would pro¬ mote the rn n il and m ilerial interests of out jKiople. That it would benefit Boniety m unity, a few and only a few ' have *iho hardihood to deny. Liquor dealers themselves will hardly challenge tho assertion that liquor shops exert a demoralizing ini! tencu. Tliey defend their calling not hy alleging that it is beneficial or even harmless, hut solely on the ground that they are pandering to an appetite that will ire gratified in one way or another. They boldly assert that men will have liquar and that if they are forbidden to buy i t openlv they will purchase It secretly and that consequently a prohibitory law would not lessen the amount of drinking but would enrich a fow un¬ scrupulous villi aus who would incur the risks of punishment for the sake of gain. This sole argum mt of theirs has some right. There are Home men keen appetite Tot intoxicating .. whose ' drinks would drive them to dishonest acts for its procurement, n. nut i n those wo claim are not very numerous. Ily far the larger number of tiiose who mink liquor do so because the temptation to d ) so is placed In their way. Did tire getting of it involve much trouble,they would never take the trouble. A great many drink when tuny got among those Who are tlringing, who perhaps would not otherwise think of it. There are those too who really have allowed the passion for drink to get 0 strong land on them who would he thankful could they never again 1m subjected to the temptation. These we think would not put themselves to a great deal of trouble to gratify an appetite whoso existence they deplore. A prohibitory law. when it comes as the calm,earnest demand ota majority of the citizens, will lessen the amount of dunking. It will lie respected by all save the small rnumritv wbo .***....... *' v *' 1 'A v and right. It wr.'lnn-e evaded only hy the most abandoned, and those, it the good people were watchful and prompt, would evade it at great peril. This argument then of the liquor dealer lias not the weight to which he thinks it is entitled. Its spcclousness howev¬ er causes many who do not claim to he lus sympathizers to give to prohibition either a strong npposit ion, or a luke¬ warm assent. To these wc say, lot us test by trial tlie soundness or your ar¬ gument. Let. us do away with the open sale , of ardent spmts for two years aiul see if drinking is not lessen ed. If at the cud of thal time it is a clear fact that prohibition does not prohibit, wo will assent to tho annull¬ ing a law tliat proves a failure. It is not at all the programme of intelligent temperance men to enact a 1 1 w like those of Media and Persia. But men Who wish well for their l -c *, and luo i who think closely are of the opini m that hy a law forbidmg tho sale ol ardent spirits society may bo made bet¬ ter. Every patriotic citizen ought to to wisli to leave his country better than he found it. Ho ought to use every honest effort lo hi ing such intlu enccs to bear as will make the coming generation better men and women than those who are now playing parts on the state of action. Ho should allow no personal feel b g of Ids own to control liis action, lie should advocate what¬ ever will ameliorate the condition of society even though it may cost him the sacrifice of a long indulged hanit. It is ui'on tliis ground that we urge moderate Junkers to consent to a trial of ttie prohibition law. Admit that it will not benefit you at all, but on tint contrary, seriously inconvenience yon, still vote for in the hope that it may save from ruin i he vouth wlto may have to meet the seductions of tlie dramshop.
