CHICKASHA I.T.JULY i; 'c
CONTROL OF THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC
That the excessive use of intoxi-
cating liquor is one of the greatest
evils of society is clear to all who
have given even cursory attention
t a the subject. The fact that tem-
perance stntiment has made trem-
endous progress and the drunkard
ence common among all classes is
becoming scarcer every year and
is no longer regarded as respectable
does not close the eyes of thinking
people to the present existence of
the evil on a gigantic scale.
. That the liquor trafficjis demora
lizingand is inimical to the welfare
cf society and the State is attested
ly the laws written on the statute
looks of every state hedging it
about with restrictions that tire
imposed upon no other business.
Whether these laws take the form
cf high license local option or
constitutional prohibition back of
all of them is the recognition of the
fact that the businsss is detri mental
to the best interests of society.that
it makes paupers and criminals and
must be regulated and controll-
ed. ''How shall the new state deal
with the liquor proposition?" is
one of the great questions that
will come before the constitution
makers. By the fiat of Congress
that portion of the state included
in Indian Territory will have pro-
hibition for twenty-one years. It is
trr.e that the liquor interests cher-
ish the hope that this feature of
the Statehood bill will be nullified
by the courts and it is possible
that it may be abk: constit utional
lawyers being divided on this
point but it is certain that it will
go into our constitution and there is
very slight prospect that it will be
set aside.
Now the anti-Saloon League a
very powerful organization in the
territories and rationally has start-
ed a campaign that has for its ob-
ject the extension of the same con-
stitutional restrictions on the li-
quor traffic over the whole of Okla
homa. They will demand that the
proposition be submitted to the
people separately at the same time
that the constitution is voted up
on.
The Express was opposed to a
prohibitory law being imposed up-
on the new state by Congress both
ripen the grounds of principle and
of expediency on principle be-
cause it is ah infringement upon
the right of local self-government
and upon expediency because it is
dear that a law imposed in such a
L 1 m0A
; manner cannot be enforced unle-s
it t
ss the stippo
rt of local sen'i-
I ! merit. All law must corae from the
I 1
j pie aie in synjj atby with a law
c6! unless it is an expression of their
1 .
"l5u"i -
their judges and juries will be pow-
ter'ess to enforce it.
The force of the latter objection
applies in a measure to a prohibi-
tory law imposed by a constitution
r
or a state lep islature and the recog-
nition of this fact has lead many
j . .
jof the most ardent foes of the
iquor traffic to turn to local option
as the most effective means of deal-
ing with the problem. Kansas and
Iowa furnish p'enty of striking ex-
amples of the ineffectiveness of
state prohibitiou while Texas
Mississippi and other states furnish
illustrations of the gradual but ef-
fective extermination of the evil
through education of public senti-
ment and laws emanating directly
from the people in the form of lo-
cal option. Tennessee also supplies
an example of the gradual wiping
out of the traffic through salutary
and sensible legislation that derives
its strength from public sympathy
and support.
If the prohibition question is
submitted to the people of the en-
tire state as is demanded it is not
improbable that the selfish interests
and the honest convictions of In
dian Territory joined with the
large following which the cause
has in the rural sections of Oklaho-
ma will be able to carry the day
but a grave question may be raised
as to whether in tackling the li
quor traffic in this manner the
most effective method for its con
trol will be adopted Whether it is
the most practical and best method
cannot be known until the people's
wishes in the variou- communities
are expressed through their ballots.
It is a certainty that if the people
of a community adopt a law through
local option or otherwise they will
demand its enforcement and will
elect officers who will enforce it.
Under the caption "Our Dele-
gate's Great Labors" the Oklaho-
ma Post p oints out that MtGuire
has secured the appointment of
three postmasters.also that two new
postoffices have been established
three discontinued and a number
of rural routes established by Bird
presumably all by his own unaided
efforts just like Ire got statehood.
And then he also performed prodi-
gies of statesmanship in getting a
few pensions but why continue the
chronicle? Are these Herculean
achievements not enough to en-
title "our great delegate" to a
high place in the Hall of Fame?
Hon. Reford Bond of Chickasha
is one of the bright young aspirants
for the congressional nomination in
tne Democ.atic Fifth district. Mr
Bond attended the big meeting in
Shawnee Monday and Tuesday and
made a host of friends by his dig-
nified and modest demeanor. Bond
will be one of the factors in the
race and will make his competitors
an interesting preliminary cam
paign. Sbawnea State Journal.
