Show last wee week wilson brothers opened their saloon after being closed since july 1st ast and now brigham city has two saloons again the liquor question one that Is at present mccu occupying k the attention of nearly every county and city in this his state as well as in the state of idaho and otiler other states stales there are two classes warrin warring against each other and it looks mighty much lauch like the saloon men have got th the short end ot of the argument some anle people who are against prohibition strongly favor regulation that will compel the saloon keeper to conduct h his ls business strictly within the law guing arguing r that ita Is unlawful to lo infringe upon the personal rights and liberties of others and that every man has a right to conduct any kind of business he may desire so long as it is recognized by the law ala mayor rose hose of milwaukee made a tour of the west recently and delivered an address in the salt lake theatre in which he declared that prohibition would not prohibit but that ho he was in fit favor of regulation his speech was listened to by a packed abuse and he was generously applauded for his effort his contentions were like those of so many others who favor regulation but oppose prohibition but the question estion Is it prohibition will not work what guarantee have we that regulation will accomplish its purpose the same power which would operate to prevent the first would certainly be set in a full swing to kill tile the latter we clip the following from the richfield reaper which is a splendid argument on oil the question MAYOR ROSES PLEA mayor rose of milwaukee appeared in salt lake lahe recently in an all address opposing the prohibition movement ills his chief claim was that strict regulation was the proper method of handling the liquor traffic and he made a strong plea in favor of allowing the liquor traffic traffie to continue ills his was a special plea mr air rose Is mayor of a city whose chief business interest is the production of beer it would make a big holf hole in ill the money getting of that city were 3 the united states to compel the ver cessation ion of beer manufacture this is the whole thing in a nutshell as to the plea pica of mayor alador rose tor for a continuation of the saloon evil mr air roses plan for the regulation of the liquor traffic is ideal ile he says that it is impossible to make inake prohibition prohibit how does doer mr rose Pilo propose Pose to make regulation that will regulate jt it seems strange to hear a wan declaim that one kind of laws cannot be made operative but that another set of baws aws can be made to work tho the same forces are at work to make a failure of prohibition as would be set to work to make strict regulation a failure it is like trying to prohibit stealing g or murdering or any other form of lawlessness by permitting these crimes to be lied hed gerl ged around so that under certain circumstances c cum u they can call be committed mayor rose was talking for his own interests when he urged the plea ot of personal liberty this is ever ill the e cry s when an evil is sought to bs be stamped cut it Is not a matter of personal liberty that is at stake it would be just as legitimate to say that a thiefs liberties are being infringed upon by the laws against larceny as to urge that wo we have no right to make laws aws to prohibit a man from dealing in liquor liquor selling is wrong courts have decided time and time again that man mail has no inherent right to engage in the manufacture or sale of liquor and that it is the right ot of governing bodies to legislate against this traffic the personal liberty plea has a always been the resort of every man iuan who has a pet scheme did it ever occur to mr rose that the personal liberty of women and children is invaded by the drunkard the besotted individual ual who goes reeling home from the gros grog shop after having squandered the me means ans which should lubye been giyen for the sustenance T ance of his family what about the personal liberty of 0 the woman and children ot of such a travesty upon mankind who gets liquor in spite of 0 mr air roses irrl descent dream of well regulated saloons will tile the proposed strict regulations prevent the personal liberties of the wives dives and children of the drunkards of america from being infringed upon if personal liberties must be considered in this matter of the liquor traffic let us at least try to shield the innocent children and the unhappy wives of men who make beasts of themselves by liquor drinking alid and to protect whom the prohibitionists are working prohibition alms aims fo prevent mankind froni t om injuring himself it would destroy the means by which unhappiness crime misery and degradation are scattered broadcast Is this an infringement of personal liberty 9 it if so let us vote tor for prohibition as the least of two evils regulation with drunkenness and so called personal liberty or prohibition and a cessation from the evils of drunkenness |
