THE LOCAL
OPTION ACT
DISSECTED
sy an Independent citizen.


4 In discussing this question we leave
out Of consideration ihe present able
arguments of both sides. We shall not
deal with violations Of the proposed
law. We frankly believe the present
laws, while susceptible of beneficial
amendment, make for better private
morals, and public order and health
than will obtain under even a strict
Interpretation of the proposed new
law If adopted by the vote of the sew
eral districts.
We believe that the loophole of "med-
icinal purposes" will be enlarged so as
TO cover nearly every possible case aof
desire and flood the State with all
kinds of preparations: alcoholic liquors
both pure and adulterated, alcoholic
proprietary remedies, patent medicines
|of all three kinds; useful, worthless
and dangerous.
Under the proposed law our brewer
les and distilleries will be replaced by
Laboratories" turning out all manner
|of liquids for medicinal purposes. {"
while under the same law we should
go to jail for making wine off our own
grape arbor for our own table use.
Under the proposed law any dealer
in goods, wares and merchandise could
sell any alcoholic stun for medicinal
purposes The law easily could have
defined medicinal purposes" but it
does not Any one can buy medicine
for himself if he only even thinks he
needs it, and says so, and the dealer
who sells it to him properly labeled
is absolved under the proposed law.
Under the proposed law the large
grocery stores of Philadelphia. and
nearer points in Pennsylvania, which
sell intoxicants, now existing or in con-
temptation if the mo license vote shall
carry will supply our State by wagon
delivery Of orders canvassed or sent by
mail and the loss OF the accompanying
trade in groceries, etc, will be severely
felt by our merchants. At present these
stores cannot proftably send groceries
by wagon service but when they had
liquor profits in view they could even
underselP our merchants in the or
binary commodities
Districts viii regularly be canvassed.
Steamboats,, express companies and
railways will have to furnish extra
facilities for delivery to private houses.
Many remedies for these things
against which we caution our fellow
voter suggest themselves, but there
can be no state law effective in re-
straint Of Interstate commerce"
The columns of our press viii be
filled with advertisements Of LIQUORS
and medicines to be ordered by mail
and sent by express as now, but this
trade will grow a hundred fold by
reason of the proposed law.
And all this in addition to the speak
easy and its horrors which we are not
called upon to discuss.
The home consumption of alcoholic
beverages which will inevitably be in
creased under the proposed law is al
ways dangerous to young children OF
both sexes.
Many persons who believe they are
temperate and are unquestionably pro-
lhibitionists are victims of the alcoholic
medicine habit. More Of this sort of
health h-destroying stun is used in states
lwhere the procuring of pure stimulants
Evening journal., 1907-10-14

At present there are some abuses OF
the legal privileges of the liquor traf-
iic. But it is a grave question whether
under the proposed law there is any
remedy for the great evil of intemper-
ance. Now il is much observance Of
strict laws and some abuse Then it
would be all abuse.s

is difficult. Is it not regrettable that
the proposed law in its good intents
not only failed to protect this large
class of unfortunates. but on the con-
trary made 1t easier by its exception
for medicinal purposes for them to
get the hideous combinations of in
furious drugs and chemical intoxicants
masquerading as medicine. and the
adoption of the law win increase an
hundred fold the demand and sale OF
this STUFF.
We see grave danger In the proposed
law for the above reasons. we see in
creased costs of the courts I'm prose-
cutting and apprehending violators Be
cause Of defects. loopholes. evasions
and violations in and of the proposed
law the only sure result is loss Of
