We've lied the Scott AM and found it sueli hideous 10.110,11111'the it -War S epealedn o the first opportunity by thoutends, But that seems to make no impres- sion on mad infatuation, Ild I have heardhe topinion expreSeod it WOU Itl be a good thing to 1. ve he tScott Act; and for r the lmatie of that, any kind, nut! e ery kind foolish legiOl'ation that eeiee, be introduced. The 11)51111o we have. of it,, the quicker the fallacy will he brought to light, asci the sooner will there be hopes of restoi ation to sanity in law making. We are .at a 'time when the. majority of the community ap- parently are tinab'e set any other way of dealing with social and moral cluestions, than by pass- ing laws a.nd telling people thus peremptorily, 'what thoy shall drink, eat, wear, 50W, grow. and do. It is af ormnb n) f aia itat seemingly must have its TUT). Some of them are deluded into the be- lief that to "abolish the bar" is the beginning and the end-Fathous idea; To be consistently logical, they must not only abolish the bar, but also the shop -not only the bar ane the shop, 'but the importation, manufacture, sale, in any way, of alcoholic drinks. 'Not only (1151,but what t hey have a !ready de- cided upon, stop the growing., manufacture, importation, sale of tobacco. Not only that, but they must prohibit the•atre going, card playing, dancing, and pronounce upon women's dress, etc. etc. 12 10 prohibit by law is good' in one direction in social and sumptuary matters, it isegood in another,' So give them all the "rOpe thrY ask r. Let them am the whole, engtil and the quicker will this folly lie stifled. We have had this• 'little town ample proof of some of the evil., that accompairy these foolish at- tempts to legislate morality. The Local Option Contest was engen- dered in political trickery, and brought forth in iniquitous ballot tampering, :Both sides, or rather should I say, people on both sides, severely denounced by the Judge on the bench. So let's have the Scott Act. The sooner, the better, and the sooner will our trotibles be over., The fact is, we are pries(t-ridden-and we bad better "realize the truth, When the re-asition does set in, history will probably repeat itself -and we will. have the immoral licen•se of Ch•ar ef3 II which natural- ly f v d th ausiterit of Oliver Cromwell s regime.
