Editor News: It Is held by some
thai the state has no right to pro
hibit the liquor traffic, forsooth, it
would be an Interference with the
natural and inalienable right of each
citizen. We take issue with that
claim, and will cite the principles
contained in the Declaration of In
dependence, which we believe will
appiy:
"We hold these truths to be self
evident, that all men are created
equal, that they are endowed by their
Creator with certain inalienable
rights; that among these are life, lib
erty and the pursuit of happiness.
That to secure these rights govern
ments are instituted among men, de
riving their just powers from the
consent of tho governed, and when
ever any form of government be
comes destructive of these ends, it
'.a ' i right of the people to alter
or ;ii!eUih it and to institute a gov-ern:i-.-;i'
laying its foundation on
such p. luelples and organizing its
power? in such form as to them shall
seem viot likely to affect their safe
ty rni h-- pincss."
We feel sa f e in concl u d in g that
inasmuch as the "life, liberty, and
the pursuit of happiness" are to be
fostered and protected by civil gov
ernment, the state is acting wholly
within her rightful province In pro
hibiting a business which In reality
invades the natural or Inalienable
rights of the citizen. It cannot be
successfully denied that the liquor
business is a menace to life, liberty,
and pursuit of happiness.
Many claim) that the arguments
of those who favor prohibition con
sist largely of sentiment. Not only
do the facts refute such a claim, but
decisions of the United States, su
preme court attest that the question
is one of serious Importance. In the
case of Crowlev vs. Chrlstenseu
(137 IT. S., 8til the' United States
supreme court held:
"The statistics of every Btate show
i greater amount of crime and mis
ery attributable to the use of ar
dent spirits obtained at these liquor
saloons than to any other source."
Again: "It is undoubtedly true
that it Is the right of every citizen
of the United States to pursut any
lawful trade, or business, under
such restrictions as are imposed up
on all persons of the snmo age, sex.
and condition. . . ,' There is
10 inherent right in a citizon thus to
;ell Intoxicating liquors by retail. It
is not a privilege of a citizen of the
tato or of a citizen of the United
States."
In the case of the state of K'insts
vs. Zlhold & Hahelin. 123 U, S. Rep..
2It-liG2, the supreme court held:
"We cannot shut out of view the
Tact that within the knowledge of nil
(hat the public health, tho public
-uoruls. and the public safety may be
Midiuigered by -the general use of
intoxicating drinks."
Tho United Slates supreme court
has aho held in License Casus 5
Howard 46 U. S., 573-632:
"If a hiss of revenue should accrue
o the United States because of pro
hibition from a diminished con
sumption of ardent spirits, she will
be a gainer a thoMind fold In the
health, wealth, one happiness of the
people.'."
Some hold tenaciously to the stato
nent that prohibition does not pro
hibit. This statement is usually in
dulged in by those who are either
n tho liquor truffle or favor it. If
this bo true, why docs the liquor
