Excerpt from The System of High Licenses: How It Can Be Made Successful Errors of judgment arc less frequently the result of defective reasoning power than of insufficient and one-sided information. In order to render impartial judgment upon any question at issue, one must be mindful of Luther's rythmic injunction : Eines Marines Redo ist keine Rede, Man muss sie billig liOrcu beede, which freely translated, means: One man's word is no man's word. They must in justice both be beard. On the question of a high license for the sale of intoxicating liquors a great deal has been said and written by the advocates of this measure, and in consequence, our people are thoroughly acquainted with this one side of a very important issue. The opponents of this temperance method have not been heard to any great extent, and for this reason it is to be feared that very many persons, who have given the subject their attention, are already prepossessed in favor of the advocacy of an indiscriminate application of high licenses, and, consequently, prone to commit what in the light of more comprehensive information they themselves would regard as an error of judgment. There can be no doubt about the purity of tho motives and the rectitude of the intcntious of the advocates of high licenses About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
