Drunkenness and Responsibility

By Asotin Spirit

"STEVE HUNTER, while drunk, attacked his wife at Clinton, Ill., and inflicted wounds which will probably prove fatal."

And nobody responsible; not even the murderer, for the murder was committed while he was drunk, and certainly you would not hold a man responsible for what he does while drunk; and as for the saloon-keeper, he paid his money for the privilege of making the man insane, and to interfere with the right to sell liquor would be a violation of natural rights; so the selling and killing must go on.—Asotin Spirit.
