Newspaper Page Textm anaaEAuaasaadm KflBadacsaaaaa --"Ifc Mi gnitjj gtftMrau. ASTORIA. OREGON: SATURDAY .NOVEMBER 5. 1887 PRODDING A BLADDER. Is his recent addresses here Gen eral Campbell's "boss" argument, the one that has been quoted to us most, was that the ten commandments were prohibitory. "Thou shalt not steal," thou shalt not" do other things, and yet though prohibited by God and put in man's law, people will steal and lie. ""Why don't you license larceny?" says General Campbell, with a chuckle, and the audience "see the point," and laugh, and say "that's good." But it's no argument: stand off and take a good square look at it in sober reason, and see how thin, how gauzy, it is; how it disappears like a mist before the sun of rea son. Here is Gen. Campbell's argument, fairly stated: "It is as reasonable to prohibit the manufacture and sale of liquors by law as to prohibit larceny. If a pro hibitory law 'cannot be enforced abso lutely, neither can any other law, for are there not crimes against the laws committed every day?" Now here are a few lines of argu ment against this "sharp" assertion of the former chaplain of the Kansas state penitentiary. In order to prevent the "crime" of taking a glass of cider or wine or beer, a prohibitory law does not allow any of these to be made, so that there will be none of them to drink. Now follow up Col. Campbell's ar gument to a fair and logical conclus ion, an invited parallel, and you must prohibit the manufacture or accu mulation of all forms of property, so there will be nothing to steal! Put the temptation out of sight of the thief, prohibit all articles likely to be stolen, and then you will have a model ' community there will be no robbery or theft, because there will be noth ing to rob or steal! If you follow out this line of argument of the enthusi astic prohibitionists, you will not be able to have any property except red hot stoves and real estate. Let us all go in and reduce property to a minimum of red hot stoves and real estate. In the meantime what becomes of Gen. Campbell's "argument" When all is said and done, one fact plain to all remains the fault of a man's drunkeness lies at his own door. If he by nature or otherwise can't help it, it is a sorry and pitiful fact, but is that any reason why the whole community should bo placed under a ban? The Chinaman, who, according to Tom Hood, burned his house and the whole village to get a bit of roast pork burned in the conflagration, was a paragon of wisdom alongsido the man who thinks that because a thing is abused it must be entirely prohibited. Men eat too much, dig their graves with their teeth, die of everfeeding: would you abolish eating? Men sleep too much? Would you make it a crime to sleep? "Oh," but you say, "this is nonsense," It is just as sen sible every bit as your "arguments" for the necessity of prohibition. There is a congressional vacancy in the Second district of Rhode Isl land which derives peculiar impor tance from the fact that unless it is carried by the Republicans they will lack one of a majority of the states, and, in that event, would not be able to elect their candidate for president, should the election be thrown into the house of representatives. The states as they now stand politically, have seventeen Democratic and nine teen Republican delegations in con gress, the New Hampshire delegation baing a tie. Should Rhode Island elect a Democrat that state will also be a tie and neither party will have a majority in the house. The house failing to eleot, the vice president becomes president on the 4th of March following, and this officer, being chosen by the sen ate, would, as that body now stands, be a Republican. The senate consists of thirty-nine Republicans, counting Mr. Riddleberger as a Republican, and thirty-seven Democrats. Should Mr. Riddleberger not vote or vote with the Democrats there would be a tie in the senate, and no vice presi dent could bo chosen under the consti tution. In its issue of the 3rd inst, the Toronto Globe, the leading liberal organ of Canada, has a sensational article. It says: "Let the British journals rub their eyes again and wake up to the necessities of the sit uation. Chamberlain must be re called. The imperative is required and the Canadians are entitled to em ploy it He must be recalled. Let the British understand their own in terests are hugely staked on the re sult of the impending negotiatiens: Should the commissioners fail to reach a settlement, or should the senate make an agreement, nothing can be more certain thau a war between Great Britain and the United States. which can be avoided by Great Brit ain's abandoning Canada in a way that will forever disgrace the British name." Pkohibitiox assumes that man i a brute, uncontrollable except by spies, police and "government" restrictions. A nice compliment to the manhood of American citizens! Any one who acknowledges he has no manhood and is not fit to be trusted away from his guardian will vote for the shackles, the inquisition and the step back to savagery that prohibition, that jailor of the human heart, implies. This American government of ours is founded on the idea that it sball meddle with the individual as little as possible consistent with public secur ity. Prohibition by judicial or legis lative process means the establish ment of personal espionage, and an invasion of domestic life. If you want to be spied or want a job as a spy, vote for the prohibition amend ment It was TIkh. Jefferson, that grand old Democrat, the author of the De claration of Independence, who said "This world is governed too much." The remark continues to b? quoted because it cannot be improved. For eign born citizens who fled from Euro pean despotism, think twice before you help by your votes to make des potism triumphant in this country. To the credit of tho church be it said that some of the ablest ministers and church papers in the United States are squarely opposed to prohi bition. They see clearly that prohi hibition is directly opposed to tem perance, and feel that certain restric tion is to be preferred lo impossible effort at suppression. PitoirnuTiON, boiled down, is a quarrel with the Almighty for giving free will to man. It is an attempt to take away from man one of his attri butes. The moment a man ceases to have a choice, he is at once in prison, it matters not which side of tho stone walls he is on. The sales of public lands the past year amounted to 23,85S,038 acres, which is 3,733,-174 acres more than in 188G, and the receipts were 3,217,727 greater. The number of acres re stored to tho public domain was 31, 824,481. Soap manufacturers in Cincinnati who run on the profit sharing plan have just divided 93,009 among their workmen for the past six months. The highest share lo a single work man was $40. iiln Kidney Liver Medicine XETEIi KXOVX TO TAIL.
