Our council could do a good deal now

THE JUSTICE OF PROHIBITION.
AVe fear that some men who avow them¬
selves theoretical prohibitionist* or prohi¬
bitionists from moral suasion and princi¬
ple. have not thoroughly examined t heir
position and its consequences, or they
would change their tactics and cither he
more reasonable or, become open advocates
o' promiscous rum selling. Several
Ynonths ago, a writer for one of our daily
paper,*, assumed a gravity and soriousiess
iu discussing prohibition, which will rend
]y vanish when examined in the light of
reason. In the outset, ho wisely admits
that “the evils of intemperance are xvoful
ly patent” and that bar-rooms exert a de
moralLing influence scarcely need proof.
Continuing it is advanced that moral sua¬
sion is the only right remedy; contending
that forre when used in regard to what a
man shall eat, drink or wear without of
tence toolhers, is tyrannical and unjust.
When this question is considered more
canlully, Ihere can arise no reasonable
doubt to an unbalsed mind as to the jus¬
tice of prohibition. Indeed very few per¬
sons arc found arguing the justice of pro¬
hibition, for to advanced society it is self
evident. But some need evidence of even
self-evident facts. In this short discuss¬
ion it may become necessary to state some
very .elementary principles, with wlpch
none are unfamiliar; but the nature of the
subject,being elementary,like two and two
make four, necessarily require absurd ex¬
planations. The object of government
and hence legislation is to protect society
which iu its turn was formed for the pro¬
tection and benefit of individuals. To en¬
joy this benefit and protection, ; the Indi¬
vidual must so conduct himself a3 not to
wound his benefactor. So long as his con
qupt does not materially injure society, he
is at liberty to act as lie pleases; and this
is what constitutes civil liberty, not as
crudely expressed “what he shall eat,
drink or wear.” When an action overleaps
the boundaries of this liberty and tends to
injure society, it is clearly subject to the
jurisdiction of government. It is the duty
of government not only to protect society
against evils tending to degrade and de¬
moralize it but also to govern with a view
to its tiplifting and refinement
The writer in question says that eating
drinking and wearing, when done in such
a way as Dot to interfere with the rights of
others, are not subject to legislation. Very
well put. indeed, hut surely not suiting
the nature of the temperance questfbn.
But even admitting it, is the statement
wholly true? Supposing that each indi¬
vidual can drink liquor, without direct in¬
jury to any other persons, is the legisla¬
ture powerless, on seeing that the indi¬
vidual members constituting society are
degrading themselves and becoming far
less fit to perform the duties of a citizen
and make good goverment certain? We
hardly think so. Were China to exterm!
nate by legislation the opium habit which
is tending to national ruin, we dare say
tliat the citizens of Georgia and all right
miuded men would heartily rejoice. In the
United States the sale of opium is regulat¬
ed by, and opium smoking is under the
most emphatic condemnation of, the gov¬
ernment, Surely, tlic writer would say, a
free born American citizen with his every
pocket chock-full of liberty, has the right
toset himself down and smoke opium un¬
til a dog would pity him. We don’t
ascribe to American liberty any such in
dulgeneies. Why? Simply, but not sole¬
ly, because it renders individuals unfit to
perform the duties of citizensor members
of society. Were there only one man, or
a few. or several, who were thus rendered
unfit for duties, the question, considered
under this light, assume a very different
wec r t : f or government would BOt iceog
nize a trifle of this kind sImply for the
protection of the individual, where it ef
foctfcd neither society nor others, But
where the number U sufficient to material
\y hurt society by their inability to do
right or rather their inclination to do
I «r°“g, then government has aright to
I interfere
But as the writer says -the question ts
reallv not so simple a one as at first seems,
or rat | 1Pr a »he lias attempted to make it.
H |s bv no means admitted that liquor
drinking relates only to individuals. But

interferring with the right! of others. So
it does; Yet a little thought would readi¬
ly reveal that this is perhaps the least of
all the drunkard’s climes tl-hich interfere
with civil relations. There) are thousands
