In a continual If unlaw ful service. America under pro hibition, ho d ecu lured, hud be come a more corrupt, more crim inal and drunken nation. Tint speaker said he opposed prohibition because it wus sub versive to democracy and was op posed to ('hr)Hlianlty. The demuc racy In liliu, he suld, was too 4 t rung to allow him to compel his neighbor to do what he did not want to do In tho conduct of his private affairs. There were some matters with which neither gov ernments nor majorities had any thing to do whatever. They had Ho right, he malnlulned, to Inter fere with the way In which the In dividuals worshipped; no right to dictate the choice of tho womun a man should marry, and no right to order what should bo . euten or drunk. In regard to religion he challenged any Christian to ll! lilm that wine was wrong when Christ drank and blessed It. Dr. It.
