Wo aro ple'ased, of course, when
our roaders so onphatically on

case whon the editorial on tho
work of the (ispen sary, appeared
two weeks ago. But we regret that
tho JoURNAl. folt that its duty as a
good citizen compelled it to try to
stop thu riso of tho tide. It tries
to damn thoy prise bestowed, by
saying what the Sentinel has not
done, 11and took all it could from
tho forco of tho article by print

The Sentinel says: "Is the Son

This is a touem.nvitation, for

it is asking'the Stato to do work
which the pulpit and the moral
phijosopher has not propares the'
peoplo to accept. Tho recont con
uct of municipal 44nthoritios and
prohibition loaders, vhen the Su
promo court declaro the Stato un
der prolubition laws, is an illus
tration of the prohibition dolus
ion. Tho State must accept con
dlitions as thoy.exist and make the
best, disposition of questions as
they arise. Then since prohibi
tion is prematuro and impractica
blo, who shall control the liquor
business is the question, and this
is the real question in issuo, all
others being morely side issues.
Experienco has shown that muni
cipal authorities woro satisfiod
with tho rovenues and left tho
business almost entirely to the
onterpriso and conscience of the
saloon men. The saloon system
was obloxiolus to tho masses of
the People, anld they abolished it.
Then wihat was to tako its placo
and who was to control the liluor
business. Tie peoplo in the rural
districts boingin the majority at the
polls, woro tirOi of municipal con
trol aid municipal absorption of
the liquor revenuos, ((c'ided that
they would tako chargo of the bus
iness5.q alid got solei holnefits of the
profits. Being in the majority,
they hald the right and they oxer
cised it, and that is tho secret of
aill this howl agaist the dispon
sary system. Ito is not the lovo of
the men who drank whiskey mod
(rately or excessively, that inspires
the antagon ists of tho dispensary.
It is the loss1 of the pr1fits, that.
troubles their philanthropic hearts,
after onjoying almost exclusivo
Iue of 11the rovonuos Irom time im
morial. 'lint is tho kind of Ro
form they do not liko and that is
why the Sentil)0 sees SI.0orpions
whero it use to see snakes. That
is what, makes the Soutinel writo
poetically al tbrug oi its philoso
phy. That is what maken tho
Sen tinl d11 (raw N paralleis betwoon
the blind tiger and tho roaring
lion, which is watchod and guar
dod during the day and caged dur

Tho most colitemptible conduct
of the sentinol in all its ravings is
tho effort, to lug into tho discuss

The recent attempt of The Senti

disclosos its real motive power and
will satisfy the most indifferont
