THE LIQUOR QUESTION.
Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: lu view of the fact that there Is
such widespread discussion ut present
on the grunting of ho many liquor li
censes in this county, will you kindly
give space lu your widely read paper to
the following little story, written and
copyrighted by myself, about two years
ago, und of which over 1,000,000 copies
have been sold, though seen by very
few people In this neighborhood.
Yours truly,
Tullie Morgan.
A Terrible Cliurao.
"Prisoner at the bar, have you any
thing lo suy why sentence of deuth shall
not be pussed upon you?"
A solemn hush fell over the crowded
court room, anil every person waited in
III almost breathless uxpectutioii for an
answer to the Judge's question.
Will the prisoner uhHwei '.'
Is there nothing that will muko him
show some sign of emotion?
Will he maintain tho cold. Indifferent at
titude t hut he bus shown through the long
trlul, even to the place of execution?
Such were tho questions that passed
through the minds of those who hud fol
lowed thu cose from day to day.
The Judge still wuiled in dignllled si
lence. Nut a whisper wus heard anywhere, und
the situation had become painfully oppres
sive, when the prisoner was seen to move,
his heud was rulstd, his hands were
clinched, and the blood had rushed Into
lils pale, cure-worn face. His teeth were
tlrnily set, und Into his haggard eyes cume
a Hush of light.
Suddenly he urose to his feet, and In u
low, llrm but distinct voice, said:
1 HAVE! Your honor, you huve asked
me u question, und I now ask, us thu lust
favor on earth, that you will nut Interrupt
my answer until I am through.
"1 stund here before this bur, convicted
I of the wilful murder of my wife. Truth
! fill witnesses huve testllled to the fuel
Unit I wus a loafer, a drunkard, anil a
wretch; thut I returned from one of my
prolonged debauches und tired the fatal
shot thut killed thu wife 1 hud sworn to
luve, cherish ulul protect. While 1 have
no remembrance of committing the fear
ful, cowuidly und Inhuman deed, i have
no right to complain or to condemn the
verdict of the twelve good men who have
acted us Jury in this eese. for their verdict
is In ai tui'ilance with the evidence.
"Hut may It please the court, I wish to
show that I A.M NOT ALONE RESPON
SIBLE FOR THE ML'RUEK OF MY
WIFE!"
This startling statement created a tre
mendous .sensation .The Judge leaned over
the desk, tlie lawyers wheeled around and
faced the prisoner, the Jurors looked at
each other In amazement, while the spec
tutors could hardly suppress their In
tense excitement. The prisoner pause. 1 u
few seconds, and then continued In the
same fli in, distinct voice:
"I repeat, your honor, that I am not the
only one guilty of the murder of my wife.
The Judge on the bench, the Jury In the
box. the lawyers within this bar, and most
of the witnesses, Including the pastor of
the old church, ure also guilty before Al
mighty God, and will have to appear with
ine before Ills Judgment throne, where we
all shall be righteously Judged.
"If twenty men conspire together for the
murder of one person, the law power of
this land will arrest the twenty, and each
will Is tried, convicted and executed for
a whole murder, and not one-twentieth of
the crime.
"I huve been mude n drunkard by law.
If It huil nut been for thu levulized sa
loons of my town, I never would have be
come a drunkard; my wife would not have
been murdered; 1 would not be here now,
reudy to be hurled Into eternity. Had It
not been for tlie human traps set out with
the consent of the government, I would
have been u sober man, un Industrious
workman, a tender fa! her and a loving
husband. But tuUXv liny home is de
stroyed, my wife murdered, my little chil
dren God bless and care for them ensi
out on the mercy of a cold and cruel
world, Willie 1 um to be murdered by the
strong arm of the state.
"God knows, 1 tried to reform, but as
long as the open saloon was In my path
way, my wtuk, diseased will-power wus
no match ugalnst the fearful, conaumitik.
Hgiin'..liig uppitlte for liquor. At last, 1
sought the protection, cure und sympathy
of the church of Jesus Christ, but at the
communion table I leeelvt.l from the hand
of the pastor who sits there, and who
has Untitled uitalnut me lu this case, the
cup that contained the same very alcu
hollc serpent that Is found In every bar
louin III the laud. It proved too much for
my wink Immunity, and out nf thut holy
place I rushed to the last debauch that
einli 1 with the murder of my wife.
vj'or one year our town hud been with
out u-saloon. For one year 1 was a golicr
man. For one year my wife und chil
dren were supremely happy, and our lit
tle home a perfect paradise.
"1 was one r,f those who sinned remon
strances iiguliisl reopening the saloons In
our town. The mimes of one-half of this
Jury ciin be found today on the ielltlon
certifying to the hood moral ehurucler t ?l
of the ruinsellers, snd falsely saying thut
the sale of liquor wus 'necessary' in mo
town. The prosecuting ettorney on this
case was the one that so eloquently plead
ed with this court for the licenses, nnd the
Judge who sits on this bench, und who
asked me If I had any thing to suy Is-fore
sentence of den Mi wus pussed eu me,
grunted the licenses."
The Judge made a motion us If to stop
any further speech on the part of the pris
oner, when the speaker hastily said:
"No! no! your honor, do not close my
Hps; I am nearly through, and they are
the Inst words 1 shall utter on earth.
"I began my downward career ut a sa
loon BAR IcgnllJed nnd protected tiy the
voters of this commonwealth, which has
received annually a part nf the blond
money from ' the poor, deluded vlctluu.
After the state hud made me a drunkard
and a murderer, 1 urn tuken befure an
other BAR the bar of Justice (?) by the
some power of Ihw that leuallsed the first
bur. and now the law-power will conduct
me to Tho place of execution and hasten
my soul Into eternity. I shull uuienr be

and wilfully murdered your thousunds,
and the muiiler-inllls are In full operation

"All of you know In your hearts that
thrse words of mine are not the ravings
of an unsound mind, but God Almighty's
truth. The liquor traffic of this nation Is
responsible fur nuarly nil the murders,
bloodshed, Hots, poverty, misery, wretch

of happy homes every year; sends the hus

TO our patrons:
Wushburn-Crosby Co. wish to usstirc their many rat
rons thut they will this year hold to their usual custom
of milllnK S1KICTLY OLD WHEAT until the new crop
Is fully cured. New wheut is now upon the market, and
ovvinn to the excessively dry weather many millers aro
ol the opinion that it is already cured, and in proper
condition for milling. Washburn-Crosby Co. will take
no risks, und will allow tlie new wheat fully three
months to mature before Ki'indiii",.
This careful attention to every detail of milliM has
placed Wushburn-Crosby Cos flour far above other
brand.
