Mr. Carroll‘ D. Wright is a knowledged one of the ablest, me accurate and most impartial stati inns in the country. vWe assul'r} therefore, that the figures are a proximately correct. In a woi it means this: Setting 'aside it whole moralvqnestionof the liqn ’traflic, setting aside the great lg; of life; and therefore producti‘ agencies, setting aside everythi elseebnt just the one cost of crir for‘whicih the peopie metered, have an amount almost three tin ‘as large of what' Mr. Smith c1 l l "sheer spoliation without any cc pensating ‘ censideration” as whole amount accruing to the g ernment, State, National and]: nicipal.

Why does not t the writer talkiwhat he knows. and 8 not talk abontwhat is “probably” '1 true. making a mere guess at it. I , In the first place, we fail to see i i that it is any matter of his as to E , how, or by whom, prohibition ex- 1 ! penses are met, even if he knew. l 5 In the second place, it has at l ! least a very funny look about 'it, 1 i when a paper solhitteragainst ‘ ; Prohibitionists as the Inter-Ocean ‘ , should he so worried to think a ‘ 5' Prohibitioh-epeaker is “cutting 3. down the Prohibition vote in every ‘ B 1 State ?" We‘would naturally sup- ‘- pose. if the writer had been at all 6 honest, that he would have glo- '- ried in the fact, and not have been 1- so worried about it. As a matter I- of fact, in-‘the early days of the \- Prohibition party it should not be letter-gotten that , the Republicans, y. laboring, doubtless, under a mis- ?e apprehension, wereyery bitter and 3 g unreasonable in their attacks upon Prehibitionists, and made the silly of claim that, they were prohibition- ists, as if ,a Republican in a man - who votes the Democratic ticket. and a Democrat is seine one who votes some other tichet than his ‘l d. own. We don’t hesitate‘to confess, ' however, that too often the Pro- I hibitionists, feeling "that the Re- 1 publican party was, by all its pre- 1 cedents and instincts, the party which should foster prohibition, 1 they too, the writer included, too often struck with-too incisive, and possibly vindictive remarks. The Prohibitionists, as a rule, have learned better. ‘We believe the bet- ter class of the Republican party have also learned the foolishness of such methods. We hare been quite in touch with prohibition work this fall, and have not yet heard a single speech that was half as severe against , Republicans and Democrats as they have been severe against each other; but, somehow, Republicans and Demo ocrats , have foolishly thrown‘ mud, mistewesented, maligned, ‘ andwe night say, at least in spirit if not in .fact, slandered. l and It’libelled each other, and '. yetiéamliehow our Republican t imam everything said by WWWâ€"i“ RAVINIA. ” always been more liberal in their . treatment of Prohibitioniats than be their Opponents. We have never, ty, however, given them' very much m, credit for it, for the simple reason, ‘ bi. that we believe they too are labor- ,d- ing under a great misapprehension of of the actual facts in the ease. m- Allow us to candidly suggest, that 10t~the Prohibitionists believe they 1nd are right. That is their privilege. [y" The Republicans also claim they it, are right. That is their privilege see So, also, do the Democrats. As- to suming that the supporters ,of all ex- three parties wish to be right, and ew. believe they are right, wouldn’t it at be vastly .more manly and digni- fi, lied and conducive to the best in- inst tereets of humanity to treat each, can other with common courtesy and k a respect, resting assured that Jef- :ing ferson, in bl! inangqrel one hon: rery dred years ago, was right when he mp- said.- “Errors of opinion may be ‘ all safely talented where reason is left free to combat them? "In GLENCOE. High license is the monopon of competition, the mother of crime, the instigator of abomina- tion. High license is uni-American. Our forefathers wrote in blood that all men are equal before the law, but in the license system the government says to the man who has the five hundred or one thou- sand dollars, you can sell, but to? the poor fellow that has but fifty or one hundred dollars, you haven’t the stufl! Why not say to the rymen, you cannot sell any groceries till you pay a license of five hundred or one thousand dol- lam. Why not any the some the baker. clothing men ind hundred other nvocationl. If that saloon is right and its bueineee legitimate why put the business under a lieenle! To do so is un-Amerioau. It is doubtful if a saloon keeper can be found who is not an habit- ual law breaker.
