In that article the traffic in liquor were as freely admitted as the most enthusiastic member of the W. C. T. U. could desire; but Abe: practicability of prohibition was discussed philo sophically, in a spirit of fairness, and in the light of past experience. We have received a reply written purely from an ethical standpoint, ns con-tend- s witbrallThilosophieal and historl cal consideration eliminated, but containing a sufficient number of misstatements of our position, and unwarranted insinuations against alluho may doubt the expediency of passing a prohibition ordinance thenunderstand. Mr. Clemeusen ha; not diecussed because of the impossibility of its to enforcement, to fill the measure thequestiou nor article with that strict impartiality which would overflowing, - Mr. Clemenson assumes that the characterize philosophic logic of The Journals argument was that the people of Logan bad tno capacity for prohibition, therefore must have a capacity for drink. No such assumption is .warranted in the broad sense in which it is used. He claims that we assume that -because prohibition was a failure because of a defective charter, that it would be so now. That was not our contention at all. Our article stated explicitly that before the validity of the ordinance was questioned in the least, and when dealers were prosecuted and fined to the fulllextent of the law, the sale of liquor continued to increase. Oar contention is that while a prohibitioiaordi nance would now be legal, It would be as ineffective as a preventive, as it was before. The gentleman says that the logical inference of our argument is that because the people of Logan would not have prohibition when the town was full of railroad men, they would not have it now. This is puerile. The town has never, at any time, contained more than a mere handful of. railroad men in proportion to the population, and the fact that the people wanted prohibition is proven by the strenuous efforts made for the detection and. punishment of dealers. Mr. Clemensons deductions, which he professes to have drawn from the conditions existing during the prohibition days as shown by Titl Journal, are illogical and unfair, and are in nowise based ' t upon the premises. He infersthat if the co editions alleged did exist at that time, and would again1 exist under similar Conditions, that it did and would show remarkable depravity. ; He says, in referring to our statement that men and boys could be seen considera- tion of the question upon its' merits. The general tenor of the article conveys the impression that the gentleman wa3 attired in his ministerial, garb and frame of mind when he penned it. - This question is not a MormoD, Cat,holic or Preshyterian question, but one of municipal government; and as such, is entitled to the calm consideration of all. The Journal truthfully portrayed conditions as they existed during prohibition days. The municlpal aotborities did their utmost to prevent the sale of liquor, and the authorities of the Mormon church inveighed against it and did all in their power to suppress it; still it grew. The moral eentiment of the community- it arrayed against it today. anti-Morm- on The question is not, is prohibition desirable? but is it practicable? Will it pre hibit. Any attempt to hold the Mormons responsible for conditions that existed during prohibition days, or that might we are convinced would exist again under like cicrumstances, or to hold that the Church is not in favor of the strictest temperance because very many we believe a majority of Logans conservative citizens who personally witnessed the last and very earnest attempt at prohibition, dor not wish to renew JUST ARRIVED OCTOBER 9 HZl.
