Letter To Editor
THE PLEA OF A GREAT
ORATOR
Mr. Editor:
I would appreciate your pub
lishing the following remarks
by Henry M. Grady, made in
Atlanta, Ga., in 1887.
JAKE WINEBARGER
Rt. 2, Boone, N. C.
(Enclosure)
My friends, hesitate before
you vote liquor back . . . now
that it is shut out. Don't trust
it. It is powerful, aggressive,
and universal in its attack. To
night it enters an humble home
to strike the roses from a wo
man's cheek, and tomorrow it
challenges this Republic in the
halls of Congress.
Today it strikes a crust from
the lips of a starving child, and
tomorrow levies tribute from
the Government itself. There is
no cottage humble enough to
escape it ? no place strong
enough to shut it out. It is flexi
ble to cajole, bat mercilew in
victory. It is the mortal MMiny
of peace and order. The despoil
er of men; the terror of wo
men; the cloud that shadows
the face of children; the demon
that has .dug more graves and
sent more souls unsaved to
judgment than all the pestilenc
es, that have wasted life since
God sent the plagues to Egypt
and all the wars that have been
fought since Joshua stood be
yond Jericho.
Oh, my countrymen, loving
God and humanity, do not bring
this grand old city again under
the dominion of that power; It
can profit no man by its return.
It can uplift no industry, revive
no interest, remedy no wrong.
You know that it cannot. It
comes to destroy, and it shall
profit mainly by the ruin of
your sons or mine. It comes
to mislead human souls and to
crush human hearts under its
rumbling wheels. It comes to
convert the wife's love into de
spair, and her pride into shame.
It comes to still the laughter
on the lips of little children. It
comes to stifle all the music of
the home and fill it with silence
and desolation. It comes to ruin
your body and mind, to wreck
your home, and it knows that it
must measure its prosperity by
the swiftness and certainty
with which it wreaks this work.
Now will you vote it back?
POPE'S DEATH AND RUSSIA
The death of Pope John
XXIII may have a profound im
pact on the future development
of relations between the Soviet
Union and the Western powers.
The Pontiff in recent months
had been engaged in a delicate
and subtle effort to open up a
seaking acquaintance between
the Kremlin and the Vatican.
Whether this effort is con
tinued will depend on his suc
cessor.
