What Prohibition Does Accomplish:

What Prohibition Does Accomplish:
Prohibition cannot put an end
to drinking, but it can make it
dangerous to life and health. If
the law makes it wrong to drink
liquor, persons who drink it in de-
fiance to the law must make the
best of what they can get.
This will generally be bar liquor
at a high price, injurious to health
as we'll as to domestic economy.
Moreover they who want to drink
liquor when it is contrary to law
must put themselves to a good
deal of trouble to get it.
They must go to the out of way
places at convenient time and sub
nit to all the conditions and res
trictions prescribed by the persons
whom they ask to risk fine andim-
prisonment in order to satisfy their
appetite. To sum up, though pro-
hibition cannot prevent drinking,
it can make it difficult, expensive
and dangerous.
1t follows that, under prohibition
laws strictly and generally enforc-
ed, only those will drink who desire
to do SO most. That is precisely
the class to whom drinking is most
injurious, the class which would be
prevented from drinking at all by
a rational law in the interest Of
public health and social order.
Instead of preventing habitual
drunkards with depraved appetite
for liquor from satisfying it, pro-
hibition compels them to satisfy
this appetite by stealth, at increas-
ed expense with drugs even more
poisonous and dangerous to them
than the pure malt alcoholic which
is dangerous enough.
On the other hand prohibition
may put an end to moderate drink
ing. People Of healthy tastes and
natural appetite, who care very lit
tie about drinking anyway, will not
take the necessary trouble. incur
the extraordinary expense or put
up with the inferior and dangerous
supply Of secret and lawless places.
If it is any gain to divide the
whole human race into water drink
ing sheep and poison drinking
goats, it is probable that it can be
brought out in a few generations
of prohibition laws.
That is the question for the gen.
eral public opinion of the nation
to answer.-Minneapolis Tribune.

The citizens of Benedict are

on this condition. The company
will lay the ties and rails as soon

siderable grain will be marketed
