"Prohibition won't prohibit and i therefore we should license the < sa.e of whiskey, or sell it by State js agency iu order to yet our share j; iL~-' ef the money out of the business." |; r>- * The foregoing is the entire!. substance of the argument offered i by those who prefer license, orj the dispensary system ot selling liquor, to prohibition. While you ' can find manv men, who, bv their 1 ( love of liquor, are influenced; ,v to oppose the suppression of li- j m..- qoor filing, it is extremely dif-' j ficult to find one man willing to j, &-?: . nay, "1 wish it sold because I love ( it." The truth is, we have reach-} ed the stage where every intelii-j m. ***? man, almost without excep-M tion, admits that whiskev selling j Mi ** whiskey drinking are great j moral wrongs, and those men who are a."hamed to acknowledge ?? even to themselves, that they are f, moved by their love ot liquor to oppose prohibition, begin to say ^' " "prohibition won't prohibit." Sbri^ Id the first place we have not;' [tried prohibition and have no right to say it will be a iailure. I The opinions which come to us tfom? prohibition States are always colored with the views of tfcesatbors. We have tried,wThou * halt sot steal," and while we all know that it doesn't perfectly jj prohibit, still, we lack a great 1 deal of being willing to repeal the lew. Bow would it it do to let 1 the State license a man to steal as 1 | Much as he could, provided, he 1 ppy one half to the State, one'sixth to the county and one-sixth to ajtbe town? "Thou shall not kill" 1 does not entirely prohibit killing. { 1hen why not for the sum of five ; r hundred dollars license a man to 1 shoot down a few of his neighbors? ? im oxaieHag uttcrorsc-niurHr-> ||S% right to license one to steal, or to 9 l-._ > Harder, as she has to license one J Ik liquor which undoubtedly 1 V ' lulls her-citizens. f Well, you want your share of jJ : 8^ : oul of the business* J K Herat the milk in the cocoanut. PPfc 'Your share! Your money? When, 1 |u:*- la the name of common sense, did { r yea put anything into the busi- h f"; v aess! The State put in at the J v; . start $50,000, but she has taken it t 'Ste- Oat long ago, and is now running f the bosines on the money which e rightfully belongs to the poor ? drinkers of intoxicating liquors in a ;f: pS-v the 8tate. What have you sober, t ^an people of Williamsburg j|j| pat Into the Kingstree dispensary HBP that gives you the moral right to t mh- share in the profits? What have j ' yoa people in the town of Kings- j I tne invested in (he dispensary U here which gives yon the moral j : nsht to apply the dispensary pro- v fltstfe the education of your chil- 4 dren? If the State dfe not give in J exchange for the money taken, something which we all admit to t L - be, in most cases,a positive injury v to the purchaser, we might have t a shadow of claim; but the fraud r on the part of the State entirely a ??v., vitiates the right to our sharing in* s the profits. t The van who risks his carcass J to rob your ben-roost for a chicken r on which to feed his children, is \ . not half so culpable as the State whan she takes a poor negro's dol- t v v lar tad gives hjm in exchange c f iatoxieating liquors on wh'ch to t Ijjk*-} I* drank. t The convent ion was not as well attended as it should have been, -> but it was made up of excellent c material.
