FRIDAY, MARCH 24, 1899. ' Why Not Join Hands? The following, taken from the Oregon ian expresses exactly The Leader's belief of the only suc cessful means of dealing with the temperance or the convivial im bibing question. Though some what lengthy, it is well worth your peruse and study: Bishop Potter, of the Episcopal diocese of New York city, is a social reformer who believes in ! persuading the people that 'total abstinence, or at least temperance, is the best policy for earthly com fort, prosperity and happiness, while the other extreme of social reformers is represented by prohi- j bitionists. who exoect to reform ; mankind by prohibiting people irom uuing in. i ne prouiimionisis call Bishop Potter, as they used to ; call the late Rev. Dr. Crosby, a wine-bibber, while the bishop re torts by calling the prohibitionists Pharisees and hypocrites. Both are wrong. The bishop is a sincere humanitarian, who perceives that prohibition is not ta cause at all j like temperance or total abstinence; it is only a means to a desirable end, and he honestly thinks it a! thoroughly discredited experiment, and most of the clergy of Portland, i Me., agree with him. Bishop Pot-, ter is wrong in thinking that the , prohibitionists are Pharisees and i hypocrites; they are not; they are j sincere, but they are wedded to the false philosophy which holds that a statute which treats a social vice as . a crime is the shortest road to re form. This theory of moral reform which confuses the function of a sermon with that ot a statute, has alwavs failf-d and alwavs will because, while it is comparatively . ian, easy 10 pass statute, u is impos- sible to enforce it unless public opinion and self-interest are behind it. Now, prohibition is not a princi ple. It is only the application of a means to the end reform, concerning if temperance the practical worth of which equally good friends of temperance widely differ. It is ! always worth while for men and women to think strongly and ear nestly about the amelioration of social political diseases. It is good for those who think and may be good for those who are, thought about. It is good for those who think because unselfish thought and effort for humanity is good for the moral nature of us all, which with the best of us is being con stantly tugged downward by the grossly selfish, utilitarian spirit of the average man. Whether it be for the good of those thought about depends very much on the judicial quality and sincerity of those who think. The same difficulty besets the temperance cause that afflicted the anti-slavery agitation fifty years ago. The moral doctors could never agree, saving on the point that they had a very sick patient. Some believed that the constitution was "a covenant with hell," and would not vote, while others be lieved that under the constitution slavery could be successfully ex tinguished by delimitation and death through incapacity to expand. And so for years, although the ablest, most eloquent, most upright men of the time were a unit on the simple point of hostility to slavery, they accomplished little or nothing because with wide difference of opinion as to means to ends they were always disastrously and ir reconcilably divided in action. They never made a simple platform of action on which the greatest 1 r . i ... number for the greatest good could stand and fight. They were not a 1 ,. . . 3 1 a , line of battle; not even a strong! column piercing the ranks of the opposition with the weight and momentum of its wedge. They were only a lot of widely, scattered sharp-shooters, occasionally bring ing down a man by the individual accuracy of their fire. But sharp shooters, skirmishing in open order, never win a battle, and so until the republican party was formed upon a platform that, while it was right as far as it went, fell short of the abstract right insisted upon by the unconditional abolitionists, they left the system of human slavery essentially unhurt. Finally, when a platform was made wide enough and near enough to the ground' to tempt the average plain, practical American, who yearned to do some thing to restrict the growth of the cancer of slavery, even if not ready to scale the serene heights with Garrison and Phillips, the people came to the front, and with this line of battle 4 ... - cii. vi luc W ti I Lincoln was elected pi Clip! !UI-11 W Mlt.il struck off with its sword the shackles that a knot of raging and sobbing philanthropists had tried iu vain to cut with curses or melt with tears for over seventy years. This bit of political history has its lesson for those engaged in the moral warfare of temperance. Make your platform broad enough and near enougn to uie ground so mat ; the honest friends of temperance, ! whether believers in prohibition or ! regulation of the liquor traffic, can all stand upon it. While the voice of the pulpit may preach fairly enough as a matter of persuasion, exhortation, appeal to the ideal, abstract right, the motto of every successful pilot of public phila'n- tbropy, moral and social reform, has not been the abstract right. which to the mass is not attainable at a single leap, but the largest .... . t pracucaDie rignt. in an matters ot 1 .f t u '-'"""i uiucitso vou uiiii ic reached by co-operation of a great 1. f 1 1 .!
