) gfte gniltj grstariutu ASTORIA, OREGON: WEDNESDAY SEl'TEMHER 13, 1SS2 .1. F. HALLOKAX. .Editur Prohibition . Among the petitions to be pre sented for the consideration of the present legislature a memorial from the advocates of prohibition in this state will appear dining the session. The matter, while in no way. a party question, nor prima rily political issue, is assuming bucu prominence as io jusuiy lis extended, notice. In Iowa, Kan sas and other states it constitutes the chief topic of the hour. J our ?" " . ' , ' own state 11 is the greatest present interest to thousands. The argument of a prohibition ist is that the sale or manufacture of, spirituous liquors should be for bidden by statute, and the claim isrthat if"jreatcr meed of pros perity would be the lesuli. The argument of its opponent is that any such law is by its natuie a sumptuarj' one and subvcisive of individual right. "olli .-ides make a strong showing. It is a matter of undeniable fact that an over whelming proportion of all the crime in the world is due to the consumption of liquor. Tins ar gument is the main one on the part of the' advocates of. prohibi tion. But, as it stands, the use of this argument will not produce conviction in the mind that re fuses to' be convinced hy the fact itself. To the man who sees the sad ending to bright hopes and promising careers of those around him, and stands unaffected by such example, it is futile for any one to .attempt coercion of his judgment by an attempt at a majority (Incis ion v that all men including the wicked minority, must, perforce, be good. Men loe to exercise their own will, and spontaneously rebel against all effort to do their thinking for them. The great trouble in the way of the prohibi tionist is that his attempt is one that has been made over and over again and has failed. It is an at tempt to legislate 111011 an wnlcgis- ' ' latable subject, viz: human nature. It is outside ol the domain of ohange by statute, and can only be reached by education. As long as men are born into the world with ordinary appetites and de sires of the human race, so long will there be a desire for stimulants and alcoholic beverages, and while all at tempts at higher education and inducements to purer forms of life are "to be encouraged on account of their tendency, the direct attack upon an inherent attribute of mor tality by those casually exempted fro nwt, does not have the effect that its worth demands. It seems to us in leading the 'speeches of prohibitionists, and editorials in temperance papers that the advocates of that measure leave out of their arguments a form of reasoning that, divested of T all superfluous verbiage would be effective in convincing many. It is this: Liberty as we define, it is the right to do just what one pleases provided he doesn't inter fere with an' one else's right to do as lie pleases. Now the man, for instance, who gets drunk and makes a disturbance interferes with the rights of his neighbors who . please to have peace and silence, and is punished for violation of the principles of liberty. So the .man.who uses liquors to excess in any case interferes with his neighbor's rights and transgresses the laVjS of liberty, .collective as well as individually; the more far reaching its consequence, the more heinous the offense. Tins "argument followed' to its legiti mate conclusion would justify a demand for the prohibitory legis latidnlin the nature of an experi-menty-and as an adjunct to that which we have alread5r indicated, education and dissemination of correct ideas respecting the tem- .. penmce, movement and the 'neces sity of its success. To create the impression that it is simply the work o, faiiaticswho wjurt'to busy themselves about wh,at is none of tlicir business -would seem to be the aim of some of the adherents of the cause Thrv shmiltl ro. member "how it looks" to fcy'PPIJiTF T1R V I ' slanders.
