MARTIN VS. HINDMAN
ON PROHI QUESTION
Martin Says Discussion of the
Matter is a Good Thing
He Commends The Journal's Fairness
and Challenges Hindman to
Discussion of the Issue.
To The Newark Journal:
I see in The Journal of Septem
ber 8, Mr. Hindman endeavors to
cast odium and insinuations upon
those whom lie chooses to call
prohis. But suffer a remark: 1
want to repeat, that I consider The
Journal the fairest paper in this
part of the state, as the editor al
lows both sides to be heard- 1 am
always glad to {jive a reason for
what I believe, and as the question
of whisky or no whisky is a pub
lic one, I think The Journal is act
ing fair in giving all a chance to
be heard. A writer who is too
cowardly to defend his position
ought not to write at first and I
want to compliment The Journal
for its fairness on this line. So if
the whisky men will keep on try
ing to defend their position there
will be some lively reading for
The Journal's army of readers.
ISovv I want to notice some
things Mr. Hindman sa.ys. He
refers to inanimate objects existing
in harmony, then tries to apply
this rule to man. Is not this a far
fetched idea? Don’t he know that
each was made for their respective
place? If it was possible for eith
er to get drunk and act the fool,
as man does, there would not be
such harmony. Mr. Hindman
says, “As to individuality he
(man) is like the rose and the peb
ble no two exactly alike. But
unlike the roses and the pebbles
he has ideas, and my God what
ideas some of them do hare.”
Let me say with reverence, my
God what ideas some do have, and
Mr. Hindman seems to have the
most extreme! Could the reader
get his idea of morals from read
ing his article?
He says, “Some men seem to
have obtained the idea that the
Creator of the Universe appointed
them as His viceroys to manage
it. But upon close examination 1
think that it will be found that
their commissions have been forg
ed.”
Who does the gentleman refer
to? If to the writer he ought to
re-read his own article. Who made
the pebble? Who made the rose?
Who made you and the writer?
God. So we are equal, from his
standpoint. But because I have
ideas ditiering from his he thinks
I desire, with all who agree with
me land there is a host of them)
to be the viceroy of God.
1 presume he would have all to
just gulp down anything he might
say without a thought of what it
is. But in this he is sadly mistak
en. He canvassed this county at
least once trying to persuade the
people that he svas right in his
ideas and all know the result. He
did not got to help make any laws.
And 1 trust that the people will
never give any man of his ideas
the privilege to make more liberal
laws than we now have, as they
are more liberal now than we
need.
Mr. Webster says a viceroy is
the governor of a kingdom or
country who rules in the name of
the king, with royal authority, or
as the king’s substitute. Because
the writer has ideas in accord with
good morals and even the majori
ty of the people in this county
have said so, he wants to leave the
impression that we want to “rule
with royal authority as the sub
stitute for a king”—God
Again he says, “I did not expect
say that this question is not a par
ty issue, but a moral question, and
one all are interested in. 1 never
cast any other than a Democratic
vote, but I will not support a
whisky man knowingly- It' that
puts me out of the party, out l
will go before I will support the
i curse. How is it with you Mr.
Hindman, will you stick to your
; party whether or no?
He says that l can only hear the
wailing of gray-lmired fathers and
mothers over the wreck of drunk
en sons, and ask for examples.
Mr. Hindman you certainly are
under the whisky element and as
tonish the readers of The Journal
with such a question. Vou will
not have to leave the border of
Newark to find the answer to this
question. Hut I have too muc i
respect for their families to be so
personal.
He refers to what I said a bon*
| saloonists being honest, then turns
right around and admits it. Ac
tually, Hindman, you are beside
yourself. 1 will not admit the
charge that preachers are hypo
critical in their preaching, and,
sir, you would have a bigger job
proving this than you do in run
ning lines and establishing corn
ers, for it is admitted that you are
an expert in this. Will you say
all preachers are hypocritical in
their preaching? Your language
certainly conveys that idea. Didn't
you know that some of the best
men who ever lived were preach
ers of the Gospel and have done \
more for good morals than any
other class of men? Would Mr.
Hindman prefer living in a com
munity where there are preachers
and churches with their influence,
or in a community of saloonists
and saloons and their influence? If
you had a family of boys and
girls which of these communities
would you prefer?
1 believe any sane man would
not hesitate to go to that commun
ity where the preachers and
churches are. lie says that by
my code of honesty “the more wa
ter the better." 1 believe that it
would be better if it was all water,
but when any man sells water or
drugged whisky for whisky you
will say it is not honest to do such.

secutions of the. past have noth
