any ohense commii'ea by man whiie IN
1oA'ca'ed shou'd pay uono'e penalty;
ana In nno'her' that any one VINO drank
by his Physicians, should suffer death.
And IN Rome, the heaviest penalties were
enacied against drinking On The part oil
women and soldiers.
These and many other historical facts oil
similar nature are brought mp in array as
convincing proof that men cannot be
kept fro IL drinking by statute, and that
legislation against the illicit indulgence
of mans appetites and passions is always
imperfect and ineffective. We think the
argument is fallacious, when brought 10
bear against Prohibition. These laws were
directed against the'Indiyidunls who drank:
Prohibition is directed against tile manu-
