When prohibition was before the people of
Massachusetts last April Its most outspoken
opponents were clergymen nnil professional
men. Hlx out of eight college presidents of
Massachusetts opposed tlio amendment.
President Kliot of Harvard , said : "I nlmll
vote azaiiist the constitutional amendment
conroriiitig prohibition. First , bccauso I
tlilnlc that tlio connttttlUori ought , not to deal
with sucli mnttei-s' ; nucl , secondly , bccauso
for promoting temperance I prefer tlio conibl-
nationoflocal option and high license topro-
hlbitiou. "
Clmrles Kliot Norton of Harvard , stud :
"Tho adoption ot the proposed constitutional
amendmontprolilbltinK the manufacturoand
sale of intoxicating liquors would , in my
opinion , ho a public misfortune. Ttio amend-
wont ii , I believe , wont ; in piindplo and
rnlstaltcn In policy. Its adoption Avould bo a
heavy blow to the cause of temperance nn.d
Kood order , ana It would tend to wealtcn In
the community that spirit of obedience to
liw on which tiio public wclfuro dcpondi. "
Ex-Oovcrnor Onrdner said : "Tho result of
tbe formorprolilbitory law which by way I
signed while chlof magistnito-wus so unsat
isfactory in Its result that it was repealed by
decisive majorities In n succeeding Icjisla-
turo , and does not cneourugo the ixs-enact-
inent of similar provisions in tbo orjranlc con
stitution of the commonwealth. Experience
of the pint seems to teach that local option
nnd hlph license furnish a practical system
rognmlug Ibis vexed question as admirable
as fnill nud Imperfect humanity can dcvUo. "
Said Hon. James S. Grlnuull : "I vorr wil
lingly answer tliat I Intend to vote 'No. ' I
thliilc the present laws nra qulto sufllcicnt , if
they werothoroiighlycnforced , to control and
measurably to Mippivs.-t the use ami abuse of
Intoxicants , wlllo with the passage ol the
amendment the sumo lejwl machinery must
lo csnploycd. If the violent nnd often Intoni-
lierato ucTvocatca of prohibition would bring
to the stringent cnionvmont of a proper
Ilccnso law one-half tlio activity , the zenl
and the pertinacity which they d sulav in-
slsting upon uhioluto prohibition , which has
novorbcon effective , and never can be so
lone as men are controlled by tlio passions
nnd appetites implanted hi them wo should
liavo a moro temperatecommunity,11
Ex-Qovcrnor Uico Is quoted us follows ;
"In reply to your request , just received , for
my opinion on the expediency oftho consti
tutional amendment pronouncing prohibition
mid the sale ot intoxicating liquors the or-
ganlokiwof the state , I say that I do not
favor such an amendment , for the reason
that lam la favor of the most cfllclent means
of suppressing drunkenness , and I Moves
the adoption of such an amendment would
lead to an increase In druulecnncss. Whut-
ever may have been the effect elsewhere ,
statutory prohibition hns n ot boon n success
In Massachusetts , according to the evidence
which I hnvo been nblo to llnd , and I can scene
no reason why constitutional prohibition
should be moro effective. "
Ono hundred and twenty-seven physicians
of Boston signed and published the following
pretest :
" \Vc , the undersigned phj-slclnns of Mnssa-
cliusctts.whllo advocating temperance nmonj ;
our iwoplo , imU nil appropriate measures to

proposed amendment to the constitution pro-
LlbitliiR the sale of Intoxicating liquor would
not accomplish its Intended purpose , but
would lead to the surrpiilitlous sale of Infe
rior wiuesnadllquors.1'
Over eighty prominent clergymen of Bos-
Inn tind vicinity , and ot other cities In the
state , placed themselves on record us follows ;
The undersigned , clergymen , of Massachu
setts , while strongly advocating tomi > eruuco
amoii our people , and nil ripproprinto antl ef
fective means to pronioto it , believe that the
adoption of the proposed amendment to the
constitution , prohibiting the sale of Intoxi
cating liquor , won Id nol accomplish 1(9 ( In
tended purnoso. U'bo 'adoption of tbo amend-
montropouls all high license and local option
legislation , nnd takes the regulation of the
sale or mmufacturo of Uqiior wholly from
the IpRislaturo and the people In local com
munities , and makes such regulation wholly
dopc'iiilentiipoa the power toeuforco absolute
coucrnl prohibition throughout tlio common
wealth.
Prohibition Is effective only where the local
scutlimmt will enforce It ; and were to local
sentiment enforces It , It exists under our pres
ent law To exchange Iho present rljjht of
cncb city and town to vote "no license , " nntl
where tlio vote la for license to regulate thai- !
cense under tlio ro&trlirtlvo ih'ta of Iho legisla
ture for the cliancoof enfowlng nlisolute pro
hibition everywhere In thu Commonwealth ir-
tvspoctlvoof the local sentiment , Is , in our
opinion , more likely to result in gieatcr freo-
domthun In greater restriction in the &alo and
use of in toxic-.itlug liquor.

In response to requests for their vlows on
hequeation , the following replies weio re
ceived ,
Uov. Qr. Henry TM. Dexter I favor total
nb3tlncnec from all Intoxicants ua n beverage
except on iiiiHlic.il prescriptions , and 1 ropird
pwliibition as the ideal method of freeing
any community which welcomes and Is readj1
for it from the dreadful CUIBO of the saloon ;
but I gravely doubt vhetlicr nny police regu
lation may wisely bo maao a part of our or-
panic law , and I seriously fear lost the adop
tion of the proposed prohibitory amendment
in Massachusetts nt the present tiino may in
crease rather than diminish the evils njaiiist
which it Is aimed.
liev. Dr. Bartol A prohibitory law Avould
be no wiser or stronger in a constitution than
under it. Let U3 introduce only what we can
enforce. Tempcmuo must bo maintained as
a virtue if wo would promote It as a cause ,
AVe cannot prohibit or prevent what wo must
either use or abuse.
Uev. Brooke Iterford Ibolievo such sump
tuary laws to bo entirely vicious in principle
nml never inoro than tern nornrily practicable.
The present state of things local optloa
enables prohibition tobc carried outwhcrcvcr
tliero h a provallhifj Bontlmont in Its favor ,
and where thcrois not such a proviillinglocsil
sentiment It could not bo unforced , oven if
enacted. As far as Jcanseo , what is needed
is not new legislation , but the inoro effective
use of what wo have. It is not either prohi
bition or specially hlh ( ; licensoto which I loolt
for the lessening of the saloon power nnd of
the saloon temptation , butmoro effective su
pervision. botii by tlio police aud by the
1'rieudsoE temperance. With such offe'ctivo
supervision have alrcidv laws enough to
accomplish what lawcnn rightly do ; without
It more laws , uncuforccd , would , I fear , bo a
pure mischief.
Itov , 13. A. Horton It Is not the best
method of promoting temperance. It Ii
aimed at tlio lliial national poll of A national
amendment , and I nm opposed to thnt. It
looks toward the abolition anddlsuso olnlco-
tiol In nny form ( as Its originators confess ) ,
nnd that is Utopian. It Is of a character to
scatter and sadly dlvldo the temucrance
forces. It has ciimo to bo a test , a shib
boleth among temperance extremists , which
they Imrshly apply and vindictively use , and
I for one desire to niako an earnest protest
against the arrogance. It hold. ) out fnllnciom
hopes to tlio well-wisher of mankind , and
this misdirects the true woik of moral prepress -
press and reform. Its Idtidrcd laws in other
states have not berne satisfactory fruits ,
Those who vote for its adoption have the ap-
pcarnnco of accepting all tlio extravagant
claims and wild assertions of its ultra advo
cates. I love sobriety and temperate tcin-
jwaiico and Christ's ' methods too mueh to
vote for the constitutional amendment.
Hov , Emory J , Hiiyncs The public opinion
of a reat'coiniEouwaltli , expressed by ma
jority vote , has proved Itself of such force
trcnorally that It eventually tvitulsnlL opposi
tion practically Into accord with Itself. Local
option is dependent upon a smaller public
opinion , oven vheii favorable to tha demands.
of teinporenctr. A constitutional amendment
lias proved itself , In my judgment , to bo tlio
most troublcsomo form of legislation in the
wiy of the liquor trattlc. I do not hope for
Utopian results from nny legislation. I have
u Brewing conviction that the old iospcl
method of correcting men ono by onols our
only hope , Pcrhapi It is true that the law of
the survinil of the Jlttcstls to bo wrought
out of this dopjrtment of morals , if not in any
other , the drunkards perishing and childhood
alone bclnj salvablo.
Hov. Lclghton Parks I trust that the pro
posed amendment to the constitution Avill not
to adopted , Undertho present statutes those
towns which nro able to enforce "prohibi
tion" are at liberty to prevent the sale of alco
hol. The city of llinton cannot even pass a
prohibitory vote. Suppose prohibition is im
posed upon the city by the country , what nld
will wo then receive in an attempt to enforce
the lwf : Of course none. In which case the
question Ijcforoua Is between restricted sale
under high license and unrestricted under
"prohibition. " As a temperate man and an
cnoiny of the "saloon" Ihnuo fora continu
ance of the present law until wo can pass one
rcqulilugso lilp'h u llconso that only men who
ha venn interest in its enforcement will bo
