Prohibition Tainted With Fnlsehood

The policy of the prohibitionists
Is that the end iustihes the means.
Finding that the drinking OF a mild
beverage, such as beer Is. encourages
temperance and sobrioty by taking
the place of the more ardent liquors
and therefore creates a natural re.
pugnanoe TO prohibition. It was de-
eided by the prohibition leaders that

Man Must BE a Free Agent.

That the doctrine OF prohibition is
not and never was a part OF the
Christian religion is conceded by all
fair minded scholars who have made
consistent and conscientious study
of the Holy Scriptures. That abuses
have crept into the liquor trafic,
that tho drink evil is one and al
ways has been one of the momentous
questions of all ages and countries
Is also conceded by all reasonable
minded men. That prohibition by
law never has been successful In con-
trolling the appetltes OF man has alb
solutely been demonstrated time and
again. To make men lead sober
lives they must be appealed TO
through reason. They can only be
brought to that stage OF reasoning
as free agents and not through COM
pulsory laws.
There is an old proverb that SAYS
truly, To the feet OF him who wears
shoes the ground Is covered with
leather" Many OF the Christian
church of today, in attempting pro
hibition" are attempting to cover the
the world with leather so that all
may go out In the world barefooted.
