Editors Table Banish Liquor

Editor's Table. Banish Liquor! Regarding the election on June 27, when all people living in Utah cities and towns may vote for the abolishment of the saloon, and for the prohibition of the sale of liquor, I desire to express the hope that all Latter-day Saints of voting age, and all other good citizens, will take advantage of the opportunity and cast their votes against liquor. And let us not only vote on June 27, but from now on until that date, let us work whole-heartedly for the cause of temperance and the abolishment of the saloon. There is no valid or convincing argument, economic, social, financial, moral or religious, against wiping out the liquor traffic. On the contrary, every strong point favors the use of our franchise for the establishment of temperance, the abolishment of the saloon, and the absolute prohibition of the sale of liquor. There is now only the one issue before us, and as Latter-day Saints, members and authorities, who have always favored temperance, the day has now come when we can strike unitedly for a holy cause. Let us strike in harmony, hard and true! Joseph F. Smith.
