LOCAL OPTION.

Mr R. T. Booth's Views on tho Subjoot

Tins bluo-ribbon mission was continued in tho Theatre Royal last ovoning. Thoro was again a crowdod attendance. Before tho actual purpose of tho mooting was touched upon, v number of hymns wore sung by the choir, under the leadership of Mr Robert Tudehope, Especially pretty amongst the Belectionß _ was the solo and chorus, " Galilee." The intro ductory proceedings were of a de votional character, Key. Mr Carr offering prayer, and a portion of the Scriptures being read. Mr V. Battley occupied the chair, and in introducing the speaker of the evening, he said tho subject on which Mr Booth was to speak was one of entrancing interest, especially at tho present time, when the licensing elections were approaching. He said it was patent to all that the principle of the greatest sood to the greatest number was the most satisfactory, but it was their desire that they should act fairly towards both parties. They would all agree that the colony had made a great step in advance by the adoption of the principle of local option in connection with the liquor traffic, thus following the good example sot by America. Mr .booth, in commencing his address, said that if New Zealand pro ceeded a littlo further in tho direction of local option, it would reap some of the benefits of entire prohibition which America is now gathering. Reference had been made by the Chairman to the nearness of the licensing elections. Now, he wished it understood that this mission had not been commenced, nor was he accustomed to speak, for political pu rposee. He was not endeavour - ing to influence the elections in question. At tho same time, he did not object to assist in tho erection of a sentiment which might find an outcome in the expression of public opinion at the polling booth. But respect ing these said elections, ha had heard it said that it was not the intention of the pub licans to take any active steps to nominate their own candidates. Now, that was a sign which he did not like. The publicans know that their policy was to keep quiet, and so it might be in this case. But he drew the attention of his hearers to the strenuous efforts made by the partisans of the liquor traffic in Eng land and America to crush the temperance movement. He reminded them of the manner in which those pub licans and brewers sank their minor differences and banded together, contribut ing their thousands of" pounds whenever necessary in their own interests. He had just been informed by Mr Newman that the publicans had promised not to put up their own candidates at the elections on one condition, and that condition was that the Committees should extend the hours of traffic. His advice to the people of Auckland was not to extend those hours. (Loud and prolonged applause.) Hehadbeen given some valuable information that day by Mr Speight in reference to the early history of the temperance movement in the colony. He was gratified to hear that when Auckland was governed by a provincial administration it was the first place in the colony to recognise the desirability of the principle of local option, the law placing the power in the hands of two-thirds of the people. Proceeding in his address, Mr BooHi paid a flattering tribute to the services i......red to the cause by Sir William Fox, and prophesied that the children of his hearers would be erecting statues and tributes to the memory of that gentleman. He urged his listeners to remember that the power of blasting the upas tree of strong drink was in their own hands, and appealed to them to vote for their homes and their families when they went to the polling booth. In this colony he said the case for the prosecution against the liquor traffic was closed. Domestics peace and happiness cried out against it, virtue protested against it, science denounced it as a gigantic swindle, and the cries that went up from soiled lip-s and thousands of wretched homes were loud in their denunciation of the horrible drink trade. And why was it that nothing could bo said in ita defence? Had it made a kinder husband or father, or a better Christian ?he asked. He thought not. He believed in having things demonstrated. His party could demonstrate their side, but what could the other side say for itself ? The speaker related the story of a Kentucky judge who offered to grant the liquor licences in his Stato if the saloon-keepers could show that the trade was for the benefit of one man in the community. They could not show it, and the licenses were refused. He prophesied that the liquor traffic would go down before the blast of moral sentiment as the slave trade had gone down. Nothing could save it. Already it was on its trial in this colony, and it had to face a healthy, moral sentiment here. He would like to see every drop of strong drink in the sea, and every publican in heaven (laughter). There was plenty of talk about regulating the traffic, but ho asked if it could be done. Many attempts had been made, but they might as well try to regulate the waves of the ocean or the torrents of Niagara. All the enactments that had been passed re stricting the traffic had not been successful, and the cry now went up to Heaven for prohibition. The traffic could not be regu lated. Referring to the frequent breaches of our present licensing laws, the speaker quoted the words of a clever American lawyer who advocated "prison suasion for the drunkard maker, and expressed the opinion that the first offence should mean a penalty of £100, while for the second the offender Bhould be put away quietly behind prison bars. Mr Booth then proceeded to refer to the working at' the laws in America, and informed his hearers as an instance that in Massachusetts 446 out of 486 licenses had been refused. He denied that the prohibitory law in Maine had been a failure. Ho admitted that there had been broaches, of that as well as other laws. It didn't look as if the people of Maine were sick of prohibition whon the fifteenth amendment to the constitution prohibiting people from manufacturing, importing, or selling liquors was carried by a majority of 45,000. More than that,, no one could say that the commercial status of the State had been injured. The sales of land enormously increased in the Maine territory at the period in question, and a gratifying fact in that connec tion was that the payments were in cash, or, at all events a large portion of them. Another provision in the liquor laws of his country eulogised by the speaker was that which gave the wife or children of a man killed through strong drink Ihe power of recovering damages from the publican who sold any portion of the poison which led to the loss of the man's life. As a case in point, he. mentioned that a woman named Harrington, whose husband was kilted by a comrade in a drunken quarrel, recovered 4,500 dollars from the publican who had supplied the liquor to the deceased. Mr Booth, at tacking the system of moderate drinking, referred to the fact that in Cambridge, America, the women by their efforts carried a law compelling publicans to remove their bar screens and stained glass windows. The result was a terrible blow to moderate drinking, and the trade of the publicans fell off to the extent of fifty per cen,t. The moderate drinkers cpuld n.ot face the exposure whioh the removal of the ecreens resulted in. Comparing those States where, the prohibi tion law is in force with others where the traffic holdß sway, Mr Booth showed that the former revelled in prosperity and happiness, while thp picture presented on the other side was dismal in the extreme. He in stanced the case d Canterbury, in England, where there, were 4,400 parishes without a single hquor.sellin.g establishment, and he compared the happiness and prosperity reignjng there with the misery elsewhere, lhen again, there was Tyrone, in Ireland, Whew 83 miles could be traversed without a single pauper being met. There was no agricultural depression there, and what a difference existed between those districts and others where the traffic reigned supreme. Mr Booth evilogised the principle of local option on numerous grounds. He urged his hearers to assist in protecting happy homes against the inroads of the demon drink, and appealed to the c. erH men a, round him « »* were not true tnat the nefarious traffic neutralised their teaching,their prayers, and their preaching, tie knew from his own experience what terrible temptations it placed in the way ot those poor broken-down victims who sought to raise themselves from their depths of their deg.adation. A patriotic stsory in point was related. In an eloquentand forcible peroration, Mr Booth appealed to his hearers to take their votes in t& hands, strike this terrible power on the head, and nnn^ rf ? M *5? aIU The Proceedings concluded with the singing of several hymns.and the signing of the |ledge.
