TRUE TEMPERANCE. BISHOP REDWOOD SAYS PROHIBITION IS INDEED FATAL TO liberty.

Because it involves a serious outrage against tho natural rights and liberties of individuals, and contemptuously disregards the claims of dissenting minorities. It is also fatal to TEMPERANCE, though not a few fophistically confound temperance with pro. liibition. Temperance is a growth, like all moral laws, in the individual and tho community. PROHIBITION PROPOSES TO ESTABLISH TEMPERANCE ACCORD ING TO THE CRIMINAL CODE. TEMPERANCE IS POSITIVE, AND APPEALS TO MAN'S SENSE OF SELFCONTRAL, TO HIS REASON AND CONSCIENCE. Proliibition is negative, und appeals to the sense of- fear, to pains and penalties, and utterly ignores man's habits and education. TEMPERANCE IS THE DEVELOPMENT OF MAN'S RIGHTEOUSNESS AND SELF-CON-TROL. Prohibition is tho reduction of a man to a position of compulsory national total abstinenco by tho criminal law: TEMPERANCE IS THE HERITAGE AND BLESSING OF ALL FREE PEOPLE. Prohibition is tho yoke . which a country constructs for itself when it confesses its inability to self-control, and from which it will take long years to froe itself: Tcmperanco is tho badge of self-respect and orderliness.—fPublishcd by arrangement).
