IT is a worse offense to vote to license a saloon than it is to keep a saloon after it has been authorized by the people. The voter is the creator of the saloon, and the creator is more responsible than his creature. I would rather take my chances at the judgment bar of God with the saloon keeper than with the man who voted to make his saloon possible. We curse the saloon keeper for the evils that come from the saloon; the real culprit is the voter who gave him a license to run a saloon, and the government which shares the loot and divides the blood money with the maker and vender of the liquor. —A. C. Bane.
"JUST as surely as God is just, both the voter for the saloon and the drunkard will go to the same place at the last day."
