The liquor traffic is etlob a tree. Its

ewailowing the eorpinge, the health, the
murals, the lives of the people. For ell
that it deetraps it gives no adegeate re.
turn. It epreads wreck and rain On
every aide, and there are taw, it any, who
are altogether 4n6ouihed by its havoc
It is the defiler and destroyer of the home,
the running sore of aooiety, the nurse of
the state. Poverty, vice, orime, dieeeoe,
madness, death—these are aome of the
pernioiops fruits of this God•tureed
traffic. Why should we not apply the
words of our Lord to this, and eat it down
as a oumberer of the ground.
Let ae ooneider first the justification of
the prehibitory principle, The prohibi•
tory principle is the foundation of all law.

selves possessed of a natural right 10 do
as they please. If the principle of pre
hibition were applied witb legal emotions
to the sale of intoxicating liquor for bever
age purposes, we have every reason to ex-
pert that it would be obeyed ea well as
other laws are obeyed. But the question
arises, Have we any right to prohibit the
sale of iotoxioating liquor for beverage
purposes? We certainly have as much
right to prohibit the sale of it entirely as
we have to prohibit the Bale of it par-
tially. This we already do. Only ab,nt
one mac in a tbousaud is permitted to
sell liquor now and about 999 men its a
thousand are prohibited' from selling it.
Complete prohibition ie already in force
during certain hoore of every day and
during one complete day ant of every
eevea. What right bave we to prohibit
at all, that we have not to prohibit en•
tirely? We have the right inherent in
every civic ergaoiem to prohibit the sale
of whatever is injurious to many, and is
not essential to the we1l.being of any.
Even thane who moderately indulge in
the use of intoxicating liquor would not
readily admit that it was essential to
their well being; noroould they deny that
it injurious to 8 large number of their
fellow men. If we have not the right to
prohibit the exp03nre for Bale of injarioue
aubataoaea, the foundations of oar oivio
organism rest upon tyrannous wrong.
If we have not the right to protect our -
naives by Pot of Parliament from physi-
cal and moral perils our civilization is a
huge perversion of right and wrong. We
prohibit promieo0one interootroe with
those suffering from contagious dieeasea.
Why ho Id we interfere with e a f ra wt h a man's

Small pox if be thinks fit to put himself
in the way of it? By not prohibiting him
we do not compel him to take this disease.
This he the argument of some with regard
to the axle of Riper, "The existence of
the tavern does not compel one 6o drink,"
neither does the exittenoe of a Mee of
smallpox oompel one to take smallpox,
but no civilized community i0 oonteot to
take the chances of an epidemic, and so
we have a Ooutagiona Dieeaaee Aut,
which prohibits on from putting ourselves
in the way of danger. We consider it
parfeotly within our rights to prohibit the
keeping of a vicious dog, notwithetaodiag
that one might suppose himeelf poaseteed
of a "natural right" to indulge in suoh a
luxury. It one indulged this "uataral
right" in a solitude as great as was Rob

it is quite au0eo0•eary to say the; it plays

that these are seen in a state of comperes
tive perfection iu the drunkard's stagger,
in bis bloated fiaeb, and in the babble and
iotoberenoies of speech that reveal the
alcoholic enbmergenoe and wreck of brain

liquor drinking it is suffieieot to appeal
to the common knowledge of men. Who

Mat the moderate sea of li90or is rleoee-

mvderele drinker is nob free from the
danger of becoming a drunkard and the
Bib'e declares that no draukard shall
inherit the kingdom of God, A man
