[TO TH I EDITOR TILLAMOOK HEADLIGHT].
It can be written in a few short sen- !
tehees: “1 will and bequeath to my heart
broken wife the memory of broken vows,
blighted hopes, penury, and woe. I will I
and liequeath to my little children pov-
erty and shame, and to the rest of my '
kindred I will and bequeath the icco-
Icctioiis of a misspent life and the mono- !
ment of a drunkard's grave.”
Oh ' how many such wills are recorded
in the great book ot man’s destiny and
fate! How many such monuments are
ound in the cemeteries all ov r ur land,
not built alone over the remains of tbo e
whose feeble intellects have rendered
them easy victims of temptation and sip!
Go where you wili—visit the cities of the I
dead in every land—and there lie the re- |
mains ot poets and statesmen, kings and |
subjects, men of the brightest intellects j
as well as feeble minds—hundreds upon '
hundreds, thousands upon thousands,
yes, millions upon millions filling drunk- !
ards’ graves; for the demon that has so
long devastated the earth spares neither j
rich nor poor, plebeian nor patrician,
but all alike are its yictims! Yes, from I
eyery station in life, the demon alcohol j
demandsjvictims for his altar. The hojv j
vestments of the church and the sacred |
ermine of justice are no protection against |
this demand. Yet a Christian people
will by law provide victims for the sac- ! I
rifice ; will grant licenses to tempt men
to sin then punish those who are tempt
ed; will in the name of the law legalize
and license the great source ofcrime and
then punish the criminal. Shame! shame!
on such a law and the people who sus-
tain it. Oh, monstrous incongruity in
such a people who with the right hand
erect churches in the name of the living
God, and ask men to repent, while with
the left thev build prison-houses and
scaffolds, and by law’ tempt men to oc
cupy them. A Christian people license
its tale by deliberate enactment of the
Legislature, and sustain it by the decis
ions of our courts, while thev expend
millions of money to send missionaries j
to the heathen, and religious tracts to
the Islanders of the far off seas.
Verily, there is a missionary work
be done at home, and a beam to be
moved from our own eve as well as
mote from that of our neighbor’s.
When, during the rebellion, the South
ern rebels sent the infected clothing from
the plague hospitals of the South to the
North, to scatter disease and death over
our land, the whole civilized world was
horror-stricken at the deed. It was de
nounced in every land and by every ton
gue. And vet, Oh! most Christian con
sistency, we to-dav sustain its parallel
by law and support it bv license.
What right has the State, for the sake
of the price paid for a license to grant
the proprietor of a saloon the privilege
of tempting young men to get drunk,
and in consequence thereof to become
criminals ? What right has the State to
tempt the rising generation to become
drunkards ? U hat right to authorize
anyone to sell insanity, or to give to
another a loathsome anddeadlv disease ?
Has a druggist a right to sell or give
arsenic or prussic acid to one he knows
w ill l>e injured by the poisons ? Has the
State the right to grant a license to do
so because it puts money in the public
purse? We punish the defaulter to the
Government who has stolen or embezzl
ed the public money of which he was the
custodian. Is it any meaner or more
wicked to steal from the Government
than for the Government to rub the citi- |
zen of his health, his money, and his rep
utation, by the license privilege which
does all these and much more?
