VVo were fully aware when we carried local option the 6ght was only beginning. lo almost all prohibition measures of the liquor traffic what has bt<mght the act into disfavor has been the iiecroi and open violation of law.

Kvidenco s»oes to )w rhirfor 1 must admit that I aiii not sanguine that even with this aadil ion wo hive all that IS retpiired in seeing that the law is not viol ited. You were kind enough to give a short article in your last itsuo fef the executive committee of Centre Oiey .\lliance. The convention to bo held on the 'Jth pros, is to consider aiiinngst is on the way of being accomplished and we have only to consider the second. -In our coming convention one of the great questions that will be raised is "Ciin we as oit:z.'us do .anything to help the officers of the law to enforce Local Option." Some of us 'tis true have done niuuh to see the law enforced under license, sim- ply because we do not brlieve in licensing men to do evil to injure a brother. But it is a very different thing when there is no license, if men get drink and give evidence that they arc under the influence of liquor. It will be tho duty of local option men tu help the officeis of the law to find out by every la vful means where the drink was obtained. If we do not we are worse than foils to give tho thought time and attention to get a law passed, see it violated before our eyes and be dumb. No, air, that's not to be. But what is everybody's business is nobody's business, and therefore I would suggest that we appoint a comirittee :>f three at different places throughout tho town.ship; that the members of each of the different committees be made known to the vicin- ity where they are appointed, so that any peison or persons having suspicion of liquor being sold in a dive or den, etc., or run acrtjss any one under tho influence of liquor they at once report the same to a member of the commiitoe. The commit- tee itself will not go about with its eyes closed. At tho same time we do n it commend prying into other people's busi- nebs. Yet the law must be honored and tho penalties for its violation enforced. Nothing would grieve one more than to see any uoforlunate fellow placed behind the bars, but every man who puts law at deliance exposes himself to its penalties, and not only that, but in his inmost soul he knows he ought to be punished for the violation of law ; not only that, but he knows that inspectors, and even citiiiens, are not doing their duty if he in alloweil t" go scott free. Wa wish ill to no man. We simply give tlio note of warning. We have secured local opliim and we wish to retain it.
