THE OBJECT OF
PROHIBITION
BY DIR. HERRIcK JOHNSON.

This is another point where much
fog has been made to gather. Multi
tudCs of men refuse to vote for pro-
hibition because of widespread, but
false, notions as to its object.
(a) One miscOnceptiOn is that
prohibition aims to make people
good by law The changes have
been rung upon this charge until
many actually believe that prohibit
tons object is ito coerce men to
virtue; Ito reform men from with
OUT" ito purify the streams to the
neglect of the Fountain" and, think
ing the method false. they shout.
Away with it!n OF the contrary,
there is not man among prohibit
tionists Cherishing this delusion-nOt
one! The object is neither express
ed nor implied in action or platform.
1t is not in fact nor in effect either
in the principle or policy of prohibit
ton. Law is protective and restriC-
tive, not reformatory. It's aim is to
guard rights, not to produce right
eOusness. No advocate of prohibi-
ton suppOses that it is going to make
a man virtuous by taking the liquor
saloon out of his path. 1t is not
framed to reform the man, but to
protect society. Reformation will
come through other processes and
agencies, but the law will give refor-
nation better chance.
Are We to be told, because we ad-
vocate il law prohibiting gambling
houses, that we are seeking "to
coerce men to virtue" and ITO re-
form men from without, and not

In card written on Nov. 27, 1887,
the day after the election, when he
knew that the barrooms had won in
the fight in Atlanta, Henry w.
Grady declared; when everything
else ! have said or done is forgotten.
I want the words / have spoken for
prohibition in Atlanta to be remem-
bered. am firm in the conviction
and from this conviction | shall
never be shaken-that Atlanta hi
prospered under her two years of
prohibition as she never prospered
before, and the experiment of prohi-
bition in large city succeeded in
Atlanta as no experiment under like |
distractions ever succeeded before" |

The great and growing popularity OF Dr..

TO its scientific compromising and to the actual
medicinal value of its Ingredients The pub

wrapper of every bottle sold, gives full assur-
ance of lis non-alcoholic character and re-
moves all objection to the use OF an unknown

nor secret one either This fact puts it in a
class all by Itself bearing as it does upon every
bottle wrepper The Badge Of Honesty, in the
Lull list Of It's Ingredients. Many years of ac-
tive practice convinced Dr.. Pierce of the value
of many native roots as medicinal agents and

money, to perfect his own peculiar processes
