Sinopsis

Excerpt from The Second Declaration of Independence: Or a Suggested Emancipation Proclamation From the Liquor Traffic

The Declaration of Independence, the Federal Constitution, and the several state constitutions are based upon the principles of the theistic theory of government. Daniel Webster said, This Country can exist based only on the principles Of the Christian religion. We acknowledge Christ in nearly every book that is printed and on nearly every tomb stone.

Saul of Tarsus, the greatest lawyer that was ever born, said, Let every soul be subject to the higher powers; for there is no power but of God. The powers that be are ordained of God. We do not have to be lawyers to comprehend the fact that so long as we acknowledge God as the Supreme Being, we have no right to put upon the statute books any laws that are contrary to His laws. God holds a nation responsible for the commission of a sin, just as much as He does an individual. A nation has no more right to commit a sin than has an individual. As God cannot punish nations for their sins in the hereafter, He pun ishes national sins by national calamities.

Excerpt from The Second Declaration of Independence: Or a Suggested Emancipation Proclamation From the Liquor Traffic

The author of this book has had twenty-five years experience in the practice of law. During that period he spent a good portion of time in fighting the liquor traffic in the Courts and on the lecture platform. Four of the last six years he spent almost exclusively in temperance reform work.

He has given his best energies in every line of the temperance question. He was prominent in the Murphy movement and in the wave that spread over the country for Constitutional prohibition. He has been in many a hard fought battle for county prohibition. He has fought the liquor traffic under high license and low license, under local option and prohibition, before Judges and other officials, one year representing five hundred remonstrances against that many liquor license petitions. He is the first lawyer in the United States to argue on the rostrum, that the liquor license laws were unconstitutional. He has been heard in that and other lines in many of the Eastern States and in the Northwest.

We feel, therefore, that his work herein published will be sought and read by the intelligent public with interest. It deals with the question differently than any other book heretofore published. In fact it treats the subject in a new light, in a way that makes the reader forget that he is in the study of the "Threadbare temperance issue."
