The brewers, distllers and saloon n-keepers
Of Cincinnati had better accept the Scott
Tax Law. They may as well understand
first as last that the real liquor question
now is between tax or license and prohibit
tion, and not such prohibition as obtains
in Ohio either, but prohibition of manu-
facture and sale. And while this will not
stop the sale of liquors, and hardly check
the sale of spirits, it will stop the manufac-
turo of beer, wine and whisky. Moreover,
there are thousands of people in Ohio, and
everywhere, who while they think the
policy of prohibition wrong and q failure
will, when the choice is between pro-
hibition and free whisky, unhesitatingly
take sides with prohibition. The CRITIC
feels that way.
