WHAT SOME MEN HAVE SAID.
Governor B. B Comer, Alabama: "Be
fore I entered upon my official duties of
governor, while a strong temperance
man, I was in no sence of the word a
prohibitionist; but after a year as chief
executive, I am an intense prohibitionist
having been made so by the . mothers,
wives and children who have come to
my office for the purpose of securing
pardons or stay of executions 'or their
sons, husbands and fathers, who have
been sentenced for murder committed in
nearly all cases while they were under
the influence of whisky."
Governor John Culter, Utah: "It is a
foregone conclusion that the morals of a
community are improved by a decreased
sale of strong drink. The revenues of the
state are increased because temperance
leads to frugality and thrift, which leads
to property accumulations by the citi
zens." Judge Alton G. Dayton, Federal Court,
Parkersburg, West Virginia: "I have
said it, and I again proclaim it, that no
man can be engaged in the sale of li
quor and be honest. He will take the
last dollar of a drunken man, kick him
out and send him on to a drunkard's
grave. He studies dishonesty and comes
into court and perjures himself to avoid
punishment. We don't license any man
to rob, steal or murder, but you can take
the licensed saloons generally of the
country, and the murders committed
under the sale of liquor will average
one murder for every saloon in the
country."
Gov. J. V. Folk, Missouri: "It is a
business, the natural tendency of which
is toward lawlessness, and the time has
come when it will either run the politics
of the state or be run out of the politics
of the state."
London Times: "The use of strong
drink produces more idleness, crime, di
sease, want, misery, than all other
causes put together.
