city of Douglas In regard to the pro
hibition question, I have simply been
forced to the conclusion that, at lea3t,
here in Douglas, prohibition la, after
all, the only thing to advocate and
adopt, If we are to improve the moral
conditions, which are, indeed. In a
deplorable Btate. Cardinal Gibbons may
bo in favor of regulation," and he may
be right In the east, but here In Doug
las regulation would be simply a farce
as the saloons would not and will not
be regulated. The very officials of the
law that are in duty bound to watch
and regulate the saloons and preserve
the public decency of the community.
frequently violate the laws enacted
lo that end. Besides the saloons may
consent to be regulated for a while, as
long as the scare lasts, but afterwards
they are the same or worse than bo-fore.
. The condition of the saloons here In
Douglas Is horrible. I do all I can
against drunkenness, prostitution and
crime, against 'unhapplness In the
homes, and the saloons more than un
do all my work by being feeders of
these very Bame evils or crimes. They
are regular devil's traps and tremen
dous temptations to drunkenness.
If they are removed at least seven out
of ten men would not drink or get
drunk at all. These saloons are the
cause of more than half the public
prostitution that is going on In our
redllght district. Some of them have
the most Immoral pictures on their
.walls to attract boys and men into
them and then to corrupt and deruor-1
alize them. '!
According to late statistics seven I
out of ten of all the crimes comml;
te In Choclse county can be traced
to drunkenness and to the evil of op
en saloons. They are the cause of the
greatest uuhappiness due to a drun
len husband or son. I think it is the
sacred and bounden duty of the Ca-1
tholic priest and all the Catholic peo
ple, not only to help but to' be In the
very lead of any movement for the
improvement of the public morality of
the community In which they live.
Now, In this battle between good
and evil In which we are engaged, In
my judgment the only method where
by we may hope to Improve the pub
lic morality and down, as far aa pos
sible, drunkenness, public Immorality,
crime and the unhappiness that ex
ists In many homes, is prohibition of
the liquor traffic doing away, root
Rnd all, with the principal cause. of
the above mentioned evils, the open
saloon. Therefore, I think and I am
sure that it is- my sacred duty before
God and my fellow citizens, and also
the bounden duty of alt the Catholic
voters In Douglas, to vote In favor of
prohibition at the coming local option
election on prohibition of the public
sale of Intoxicating liquors 'in Douglas
and Cochise county, Arizona. This is
the reason I am favorable to and doing
all I can to advocate prohibition In
Btead of regulation of the sale of In
toxicating drinks In the city' of Doug
las and county of Cochise. S. W.
Seeman.
