A ueutlemnu at Seattle writes to Tito Journal for nn opinion an an ar tlolo In the Fnoltlo Monthly for De cember on the "Suppreeslon of Vlco hy Law," by C. K. H. Wood, n Portland lawyer and publicist. In the first ihue we must tiy to an nlys the author. He U well-known as a collojio-ered xwkw, nn art critic, a lit ornry Nvutlemnu. a politician, and a man wliu-ateil ami culturod far nlo th average. lie Ihu mnu -who takes readily to ncademlo theories, like the eimle tax. Socialism, free trade, nud extreme vlewe veuerally that cetn only be re ceived and accented by an Intellect equally volatile, All this le mill with the highest re gard for Mr. Woods, and there la no Htirprlse to be e&nreeeed at lila raw comluslon that all laws for the sup proeeUm of vice and Immorality ahould lt nltoMahetl. Ills astounding conoluuleti that the ludlvldunl should be left to work his will In all mattew affectlnK morality or linniorallty, and that any ma or woman hat us inuoh right to be bad as to be good, will surprise only those who have nob followed the oxpre loii8 gf llr. Wood. Ilia Miier has done reat good at present, boeause It "will stimulate thought, and, finally, bring poople tq know the truth, and thQ truth alone will llborato sooJaty or the Individual IV IMI VIII. I It would bg useleee to take space toj o? Overcoats reduced to $ 7.00 " " 8,00 " " JO (point all of Mr. Woods' orrors of liitatement and argument, and all his falso conclusions. Lik.) many sorlous pleaders for a bad cause ho sots up uobulnr hypotheses and vnlllantly de molishes them. This Is nn old trick, and played here by expert hands nud with literary Lklll. lie nreuoa that tho citizen must chnoso betwoen llconscd vlco, or that thero should be no laws far tho mi p. prosslon of vlco He suya laws nRalriBt vlco s' ould bo wiped out, because thoy do not wlpo out vlco. Ho quotes tho prosont mayor of Portland, who was formorly prosldont of tho 1-nw and Ordor Loaguo, as bo Ins a convert to llconslnt; vlco. Ho asks If vlco cannot bo sup pressed, uhould It bo llconnod? He answora In the noKntlvo. Ho admits that "by a license of tho moral weight of the law will be cast In favoir of dangerous' vice.' Ho thon stranRoly arguos that the true policy of the state or city should be "to have no laws aimed at the suppression of vice." The Journal hns quntod thoeo vlows, not to rofuto thorn, but to lead up to what It bollovoB to bo tho true theory of dealing with vlco of nil klnda. It Is not nocossnry to show tho fal lacy of Mr. Woods' dictum, that, bo causo laws partly fall to oxtormlnnto vloe and Immorality, that, theroforo such laws should be wiped off tho stat uto books. On that theory tho twolvc compinndments could bo wiped out, and tho rulo of anarchy bo lnstltutod nt once. The laws oxpreas In concrete form tho high-water mark of moral pro gross of n people. They may be vl lated, but they are the way-showers to publlo morality nud good citizen ship, and exert a tremendous educa tional Influence. All that Mr. Woods nrguee In favor of not licensing vice Is sound, but his conclusion Is wrong,'but with -that we are not concerned, because the pro gress of society and tho ovolutlon of morality will not atop for any one man theory. He Htatee the underlying fact that vice oannot be licensed without throw Inn the moral weight of government Iteelf on the side of Immorality, if such a moral perversion were possi ble. Iu every law library are. or should be the writings of Bhehlen Anuw, one of the greatest Ituglleh authorities on eoMUUitiounl law, and municipal charters and laws for the regulation of viae. He cover that lubjeet com pletely for Greet Uritaln and all Wn rope. He provee that all license taws and attempts tt reejulate and control vice, tiehauch public sentiuient. Uy this It wwHt gambUnc "d the euelal evil. The true theory of dealing with vice is neither Mayor William's pktu of li censing, or Mr. Woods nsarolilsUc theory of throwing down nil legal ro strnlnt. Pinto my a Just community should be as Just as a Just Individual, and tho only pound poaltlon is for tho city government to have nothing to do with vloe no rartnershin with it, no shar ing In Its prooeeds, no fining for rov onue, any mora than the county gov Ornment or the stato goverument The laws are tho product of the Salem to select from. moral Intelligence of tho city or com monwealth, expressed through legis lation. Tho laws are for the protcc tlon of the people who need their pro tection, and for tho benoflt of society and for tho oducatlon of public senti ment In tho right direction. It ex presses tho dignity and good order of socloty, ' A city govornmont owos it to the community that the laws bo onforcud whonovor tho rights of a citizen have boon Invaded or tramplud upon. But thoro Is a vast dlfforonco bo twoon this and attempting to say that no man shall play at any gamo of chance, or prnctlco any vice. , Every man owos It to tho communi ty to oboy tho laws, to bo a law-abiding cltlzon, to rospoct tho rights of othors, to bring up his chlldrou to be come respoctabla mon and women. Ilocnuso nil mon and women aro not what thoy should bo, 1b not a warrant of authority to ropeal all laws against vlco, nor to llconso It. DocaUso a largo, number of porsons want to gamble or visit saloons or theatros on Sunday, Is oxcuso for nolther anarchy nor participation by the governmont In tho profits of im morality. This thon is tho conclusion ot the matter: (I) No partnership' or 1I constng ot what Is hy stato law do clarod to bo vlco. (2) Tho citizen to havo tho full bonoflt and protection of tho laws against vice, when his rights are litvadod or tramplod undor foot Thus far all good citizens will ngroe with tho latter joiio1ubIoii, at loast, but they will say then why It Is not the duty of the city or stato govern ment to extirpate all vice and Immor ality? Why Is not tho duty of tho olty or stato to enforce tho ton command' menta to the letter, and drive out all those who dishonor their paronts, who stel, wlio bear false witness, who covot their neighbor's possessions, who commit adultery, who lie, cheat and do wrong gonorally? Simply because that is not the func tion of government. That Is the work of education, of religious Instruction, of moral dlsclpllno In the home, nnd because we have no right to extlrpato and drive out .or persecute nuy one who Is not up to our standard of mor als and ethics. ' Bvery community mutt bear Its own share or this evil, mutt reduce it to a minimum by the reformation of tlo individual members of the community to the point where they will be Ideal eitlaene. and then vice will not be n part of their lives, and will disappear from the face of the earth.
