Prohibitionists are in the habit of
etyling theibselees' temperentes men:
This is n misnoinee. They are tither
extremists, absoluting, pessimists or
optithiste. •Temperanbe is 'defined
•by Webster as "moderation, sobriety,
habitual moderation in regard to the
indulgence ot the natural appetites
and passions, ebserained or medeeate

the choice he makes, so far as it al
tens the rights and liberties of other
citizens. The Scott Act takes away
the liberty of choice and sines to
make men sober by rendering it im-
possible for them to get drunk, and
thus fostere moral degeneracy by
weakening and ultinaately destroying
self-reliance . and select:ware'. The
,man who ean get drunk if he chooses,
and does not, possesses the virtues
• ef temperance and sobriety, while
the man who would get drunk if he.
could, but cannot, is already a drunk-
ard'in his heart, and will inclulee in a
debauch on the tirst opportunity.
The inmates of the penitentiary are
models of sobriety while they are
there, because they are under 'res-
traint ' and cannot get drunk; but
does dot resttaint imposed' on them
weaken rather than strenghten their
moral stamina and seleeeliance ?
The Scott Act seeks to surround
every county with a prison wall of
law, so far its me of spiritual liquors
is concerned, by rendering it impos-
sible for the ininates to get liquor,
druggists, clergymen, doctors, two
justices and a mechanic always ex-

The Scott Act makes it a crime for
any person but a licensed druggist
to sell liquor. But a sale always in-
volves a purchase,. and there can be
no seller without a buyer; and when
there ,are two parties to the commis -
Sion ofh crime both shotild 'bcpeun-

out, no such even handed juistice as
that. It peniehee the man who sells
:and there is no harm in the sale as
such, else Why allow, the druggist to
'sell; but with a strange perversity of
