FRIDAY, JANUARY 14, 1916.
The legislature will have to settle
the question of what is to be done with
the liquor left on hand in the dispensaries
throughout the State. If it
were left to us, we would pour it into
the gutter. That might not be "good
^business," but it would be good mor
?IO.
Forty-four new names added to our
mail list this week?that is not bad.
We are not going to be satisfied until
we get four thousand. We thank each
one of the new members of The Times
family. We trust you will be so
pleased with the paper that you will
remain with us for life. That is the
usual result?a subscriber for life.
We do not fancy the wholesale
slaughter of Americans said to be
going on in the State of Chihuahua,
Mexico. If Carranza cannot protect
our people, President Wilson should
take a hand. The mistake made was
that Villa was allowed to escape. His
execution would have done much to
clear the atmosphere. But there is
"catching before hanging." That's
probably the trouble.
We trust our lawmakers will not
be in haste to pass a divorce law. We
feel sure that there is nothing to be
gained in the passage of such a law.
. The reeki'ne divorce courts in manv of
our States prove that there is nothing
pained. The primary result of a
divorce law will not be the relief furnished
people who have been unfortunate
in the matrimonial venture,
but in the loss of sanctity for the
marriape relation. Already there is a
lack of reverence for the institution
of marriape. The sanctity of the
marriape vows make for the safety of ]
our homes. Divorce laws strike at the {
very foundations of our civilization? {
the home. Let the laws we have punish
the brutal husband, the unfaithful (
wife, and you will do more for this *
country than any divorce law could '
do. We do not believe a divorce law *
will be passed. We do not believe one ^
should pass. It is a move in the r
wronp direction. o
TO MAKE THE LAW EFFECTIVE. b
f
We most heartily commend Mayor
Wharton, the city aldermen and Chief
of Police Milo H. Evans for their determination
to enforce jWoVnbitlori *j
law. It is a move in the ripht direc- ?
tion. And there is no doubt of the 0
fact that the law can be enforced. It |
is almost always true that half a
dozen or a dozen men, led on by the n
desire for pain and also by a mistaken s
-r .1 : ? tVio londors in '
View UI l/I Id I I l^livo, v: I/..V >vMuv. w ... ^
the violation of the whiskey laws. The
great bulk of the people, ninety-nine t
out of every hundred, would not en- p
gape in a business that has been outlawed.
It is the small circle of adventurous
and untamed Individuals]
that gives the trouble. We feel quite '
sure that the city authorities can and
will handle the situation; and that the
blind tigers will be put out of business.
The sure way to bring the prohibition
law to grief is to fail to enforce
it. The charge is then made by j
the very men who broke down the i
law, "prohibition does not pionibit." <
Tt is like a man poisoning a spring
and then proclaiming that its waters
are not good.
The public mind is today assuming
a very different attitude upon the
whiskey question. More and more this
demon is being understood and its
true character laid bare. We have
come to the point that our people, the
great majority of them are deter MiMAyl
Atnl mif /I Aiir r\
IIIIIllTU LU DCC H1C C?ll put UU IT II
and the law enforced.
We again commend our city authorities
in the stand they have taken. Let
the law be enforced. Let the blind
tiger be put down. Let all good citizens
rally to the help of the city
authorities. And, it would be a very
good thing if the good citizen, feeling
that he cannot afford to be without a
little whiskey, and must order his
gallon a month?it would be a good
thing, we say, if such good citizens
practice a bit of self-denial. Stop
drinking whiskey, stop ordering it,
stop using it. You can uu without it;
many people now refuse to have a
drop in their homes. They get along
very well without it. You will find
that you can do likewise. Try it,
brother.
