Intended to appeal to tho judgment
and intluonco the action of intelli
gent men should be froo from deris
ive and abusive epithets, such as
"cold water disciples" and "fanatical
followers". Second, such an article-
should bo consistent; that Is, Its sev
eral statements should not contm-
dlct ono another. Tho following
pairs of statements seem to the
writer to fall short of this require
ment: "The legislature or New! York on
ncted a license law, which tlio gov
ernor vetoed. Would it not have
been wise in theso cold water disci
ples toallow this bill to pass?"

thowhlskyiutorcst. Tho whls
kyites wero stirred with a fear such as
had never possessed their souls be
fore, declaring that high license
would take the bread from thou
sands of small dealers,"
Third, such an article should not
bo weak enough to assume as a basis
for argument, or as a reason of de
nunciation, what is not admitted to
bo true. Tlio statement, therefore,
that "Tho money that would bo
saved to tons or thousands of homes,
and the contort that would bo
gained by multitudes of wives and
families now kept penniless by tho
debauchery of tho bar-rooms, wa
never heeded in tho selfish clamor,"
is totally wllhoutpolnt, whether In
tended as a charge ugainst the
'whlskyllcs' or tho 'cold ,vater disci
ples'. And for these reasons, high
license will ho sure either to Increase
the cost or whisky to tho consumer
or to cause It to be wretchedly adul
terated, ir tlio first result follow, what be
comes of the "money that would bo
saved?" Would not tho "wives und
families now kept penniless by the
debauchery of tho bar-rooms" sllll be
"kept penniless"? Rut ir tho sec
ond result follow, what would be
come of the "comfort that would bo
gained?" The truth is, whilo high
license will diminish the number of
saloons, It does not follow that it
will diminish tlielr power for evil.
You further say: "Tho spectacle of
avowed temperance reformers Jolu
imr with liiiuor dealers to defeat a
measure designed to relievo tho truf
fle or Its worst features, is shocking
to tho sense of every reasonablo
man." I reply tho question or what
a measure Is adapted to do, Justly
has more weight with "avowed tem
perance reformers" then what It Is
designed' to do. We are very sure
(hat any license law, low or high, is
not adapted "to relievo the trallle of
its worse features." These worse
features are Inherent In thotrafllc it
self. The saloon Is naturally a
school or vice will the Immoralities
it teaches be less liunnful because
the tuition Is higher? The saloon Is
the natural parent of pauperism, in
sanity and crime. High license may
'render her hideous ollsprlng legltl
niute can It make them less mon
strous in essential character? Tho
saloon Is now the chief stronghold
or political corruption; behind her
screens, the brlbe-glver anil bribe
taker meet; In her dark corners tho
'goods' are delivered and tho'boodle'
Is paid. Can license relievo the
trnlllo of these features? Rut 1
think further argument were a
needless waste or words.
Tlio permission or government,
however obtained, cannot make
right what is essentially wrong. No
government has the right to barter
for revenue the health and safety
and virtue or her (icople.
