Hon. VIM. Jennings Bryan Fav'
ors Prohibition.

Tn discussing.t the liquor question
in the Commoner MI. Bryan says the
LIQUOR dealers, recognizing hat their
very obvious pecuniary interest
would lessen the weight of any ar
-gument theymight publicly advance,
ara making their fight under cover
of organizations purporting to rep
resent those who use LIQUOR. Many
well-meaning men have been misled
into believing that every attempt. to
lessen the evils of intemperance is
a fanatical attack" on personal
liberty"
1t is time the phrase personal lib
/ erty'n we're defined.
What is meant by personal liber-
typ
Does it mean that a person has a
right to drink in any quantity, at
any time, and in any place, no mat
ter what injury he may infict upon
others? If not, with whom rests
the right to fix limitations?
A drunken man is a menace to the
lives and property of those about
him; have his neighbors no right to
protect themselves?
a drunkard robs his wife and
children and he may finally make
his family and himself a charge upon
society; has society nj right to pro-
tccs itself?
The saloon is next-of-kin to the
brotheI and the gambling hall; it is
a rendezvous. for the criminal ele-
ment; and The willing tool of the
corrupt politician; has not the body
polite a right to protect itself from
the generalization which the saloon
works?
The right to drink does not neces-
sarily include the right to demand
the establishment of a saloon. The
right to drink is sufficiently protect
ed by any arrangement that permits
the reasonable use of liquor under
reasonable conditions; and it must
be remembered that the right so
drink, like any other right, a be
forfeited. Nothing is more sacred
than the right to life, and yet one
may forfeit his right to life if he
uses it in such a way as to threaten
the life of another. So, the man
who drinks to excess may forfeit the
right to drink, even the moderate
drinker may forfeit the right 20
drink in moderation if, not content
with reasonable regulation, he insists
that liquor shall be sold under condi-
tions that constitute a menace to the
home and the state.
The man who desires to drink
moderately ought to join with those
who seek to reduce the evils ofdrink
to. the lowest possible point, instead
of allying himself with those who
ignore the evils of intemperance and
resist every effort put forth for the
protection of society,"
