To the Associate Editor of the Bustler: In your paper of the 12th inst, I notice that most of your editorial space is deroted to a discussion of the question of a dis pensary for Hendersonville. If your ideas as therein expressed be correct there can no discussion of the question, for there Is really no question to discuss. The very idea of a question presupposes two sides, not two sides in the sense of right and wrong for to discuss the axiom that it is right to do right and wrong to wrong would he a foolish absurdity, but two sides to the question where honest men with hon est purposes might hold either to the one sides or the other. Were you discussing a Question or an sxibm? Let us see. If it b wrong as a matter of course for a town to have a dispensary do you not suppose that the good Christians and the good preachers of Kaleigh put themselves in a very awkward position before the judge of right and wrong when they worked, prayed and voted for a dispensary there, and act ually succeeded in establishing one? The same thing is true ot the good people in other towns. But, you will say, these good people were making a choice between saloons and dispensaries, two evils, and choosing the less of the two: I agree with you In that and endorse their choice. But it remains that they voted for whiskey! It it is a matter, as you say of absolute right and absolute wrong, they voted for, and worked and prayed for, an absolute wrong, The good Lord who made and loves us all He must have smiled at the innoceuce of these good people for they undoubtedly they thought were doing right. But, does Ihisnot establish the fact of a question for discus sion instead of an axiom for only the Idea of absolute right and absolute wrong. In Hendersonville there may be one of these conditions saloons with their attend ant evils, and there are attendant evils, dis pensaries, with their attendant evils, and they would have evils too -and the present condition with its attendant (will you fill in the blank?) Can an honest man choose amongst these conditions any but the lat ter? If not, then you are correct In your contentions; but if he can, then you must admit that there Is a question to be t olved and not a truth already established I will not assume now that you will agree with me that the present condition in our town In reference to the sale, use, eto, of whiskey is not all that our people desire, not abso lutely right and perteck Yes, I will go further aud assume that you will agree to the proposition that there is much evil being done and bad conduct caused in the town by illicit handliug of whiskey. If this Ut ter assumption be correct, then there is a question, serious question for solution. It is this. Is our town in a better condition morally, religiously and financially than it would be with a dispensary I y Have I not the same right to my opinion ou this question that you have to yours? granting that we are both honest ' after be ing enlightened. Neither you nor 1 drink whiskey nor give to others to drink. So far as I know, neither of us have a purpose to seive or motive to accomplish beyond what is best, as we see it, for the town. Then don't brush away with a single strode of your pen the opinion, wish and judgement of 150 of our fellow citizens and place them on the absolutely wrong side of the question and resesve for your self the side of absolute right. Don't place them in the position of men attempting to destroy the religioi and morality of the, town. Many of the men who have signed the petition for an election on the question of a dispensary have families growing np in the town and we-you aud I must as sume that they wish to do the right thing for their own wives and children as well as for the town as a whole. Many of them, like the good people of Raleigh and other of our towns, are members of our churches, and we must assume that they are honest in their religion. Yon say there is nothing elevating in any form of the whiskey traffic and" I agree with you (n that but do you know that we', are all In a Pease interested In it. - Much ' of our United States taxes are paid by reyenue arising from the making and selling of liquor. We are partners in the business already. The pay of our army and navy to protect our country, the pay of our Federal officers comes partly from this traffic. There is nothing elevating in the traffic, but we are in it all the same. . Your reference to the "blind tiger" is rathr amusing you miss your simile so badly. v The tiger is with us blind or open eyes. Would you chain him or have hint loose? But, you sayr the officers, the ' oft cersl' they will drive him out. As to that I cannot reply. I speak of conditions as they are and have been the f ulure is judged by the past, It is said. There are other attendant evils than drunkenness that ibllnd tigers" foster. .In fact drunken ne&s is one of the. least of the list of evils that grow up and fl mrish with "blind tigers" disrepect for thelaw.perjury. houses of ill fame and'the unspeakalbe at tendants upon the same are a few of the evils of which blind tigers can boast over and beyond those of a dispensary. We owe it to ourselves and to our town to choose honestly the less - or least of the evils set before us when it is necessary as in the present case, to choose at alLDrunfr ards and gamblers, I am sorry to say come as often from homes of over-strict parent al care, as from auy other homes. Whis key seems sweeter when obtained In some clandestine way and many drink in viola tion of law who would not care to drink when the whiskey was obtained in a legit imate way. There is somethiug facinat lngtotheboy8 in violating the law and escaping detection. Think how often and with what peculiar pleasure you yourself when a boy broke the rules of your teacher in school.. No sweeter pleasure In all the world, was there? Then don't iorget the boy nature, and by overzealousntss in try -ins to protect the boy from one evil drives him iuto half dozen others. " Many people will drink iu spite of all laws, divine or civil, aud will find and have '-he whiskey whether they go to de cent places or to other places for it. It takes greater influences and stronger laws than baye ever yet beea found or enacted to overcome the human appetites for drink. Find the cure for the desire to drink and I will be with you for a "dry" town. Other wise, let us regulate the sale of whiskey chain the tiger as it were, and reduce the necessary evil to a minimum. AS to the monetary question involved there ueed be no discussion. Our high taxes htve alread diveu many people-pro irpectlve citiz -us away from Henderson ville and they will continue to do so an long as they remain what they are. The bur den Is simply getting beyond the power f the poorer classes to bear. I know a L7 (!) ii mi til iii iif m i!i T Aft of no other town mi me state in Which the tax rate i? so high. A dispen sary would easily cut the taxes down one half, 'blood money or no blood money." If tt were possible to improve the mor als of the town and at the same time les sen the burden of taxes one half would you be in favor of doing it or would the cry of "blood money make you stand pat' for the loose tiger! My friend, the 'alluring dens of vice" are with us now without the dispensary. Th j good class of people you speak of who visit us likewise drink their liquors and wines. They have it ordered from other towns or get it from the blind tigers" eight per cnt of them and that includes most all the men and many of the women drink whiskey, beer or wine. Of course they are good people and we like to have them come, and they . will come none the fewer because they can buy wnt they want to drink from a dispensary instead of hav ing to have it shipped to them by some poor devil who does not fear to violate the laws lie sweats to obey. Nov, let us study these questions like honest men and not as fanatics scared of "blood money1 and de cide them as good citizens should decide all publicqueelions. If it te best to have a dispensmy let us have one While others as good as we work and vote aud pray for a dispensary, let us not call them death traps where blood money is coined. By prejudice is one way to decide a question by reason is another, but the latter is ur doubtedly the better way and the longest done. I shall be satisfied with a verdict of the people on this question. With good .will to all whether they agree witti you or me, I am Yours truly Onx Pktitioneb.
