By Fred 'I'. Wheeler. We have progm> "d'eto far in our war agniiiHt the legalist I tun mi facta re and sale of alcoholic lit}-tors an a beverage that we do not nov have to Hnbiuit cvi deuoe to prove thai che liquor traffic in an evil--and a ku tntic evil, too. In fact, it is beginnin. to be difficult to And an intelligent, olter AmeHrjin <-iti sen who will not pi •mitCly concede the above statemdnfr, orbich i» oor first proposition. Oar 8 <x>nd proposition is that there are bat * ree poMtioos for us to take with refer »m» to this traffic, vi*.. First--To let it H'>w»e--to permit it to pnraoe its own coi-se as moat legiti­ mate industries m< permitted to <10, without special lici i«e or warrant, or "certificate of jjotxi moral ch« meter." Thin attitude in <*» >uectiou ' with th*ir tra®c is unthink;< tie, inconceivable, iiMefensnble, and it r, advocated by even the liqnor dealers t» tinsel ven. In fact, so true is this that it would be absolute­ ly impossible to in<1 ce a abate or nation­ al convention of liqtior dealers, brewers or di8tilleis to adopt a resolution asking that they be permi t ted to do business without license or 11 x. They, at least, recognize that their strongest bulwark against an outrage*! public is the "bash money" which they .contribute thru the license and tax sy> ems to city, state and nation, and tl> y are too wise to ask for its removal. Second.--To sane ton and 1> galixe and supposedly to reetri. u it by license and tax, including hiji i and low licenite, Gk>thenberg and dispensary systems, all similar in principle and purpose bat differing in detail at. I method. Third.--To absolutely prohibit the manufacture, importation, transporta­ tion and sale of all n coholio liquors as a beverage. I shall confine myself to the license question The liquor traffic i« entitled to a fair and impartial trial at Hie hands of the American people. Justice compels us to weigh it in the sa-le scales and meas­ ure it by the same Yardstick by which we measure all other kinds of business, viz., by the effect it produces upon the community--and insist most em­ phatically that it mast and shall be thus weighed and in asured, and that it mast stand or fa*i by the result* thereof, without wh uipering or whin ing. Applying th«- above rale, the American people have already reached a verdict of condemn . cion, but are not yet agreed upon t+»« punishment or method of treatment. The right to li­ cense or restrict , or restrain is based fundamentally upon i he right to pro­ hibit entirely. For, if we have not the right to absolutely prohibit, by "What moral or legal code h-ve we the right to acoept a fee for a license? For a li cense is defined by Webster as being "to remove from leg . I restraint by a grant of permission." If, therefore, we have the right to prohibit entirely and instead of so doing we license (thus par­ tially removing the prohibition), it can only be justified on the ground that li­ cense is not only equal y right morally but: more efficient than otal prohibition. The recent declaration ivy the mayor of San Francisco, who wh* a , good repre­ sentative of the anti-prohibition senti­ ment of that eity pri«.r to the recent catastrophe, to the effect Chat the city bad been almost entirely free from crime and disorder since the destruc­ tion of the saloons and their contents, and that the police commissioner woald not grant any license* whatever for saloons for an indefinite time to come, throws the claims and arguments of the prohibitionists into the limelight and emphasizes them more than anything that has ever happened in the history of oar nation. The mayor's opinion and statements are endorsed by the dai­ ly papers and applauded by the promi­ nent business men. Its effect thruout the nation bag been electrical, for every thonghtfal man must ank himself the qnestion, If the absence of the saloons is such a blessing in times os distress, bow can their presence be a blessing at other times, for their effect is always the same, everywhere and under all condi­ tions, to debauch, destroy and deuioralt ise.
