hibitory law, and in particular
that would specify the consid
erations which led me in my let
ter to Mr.. Clement to speak of
it's folly and mischief" Brief
ly my grounds are these:
l. Experience has shown me
that the law does not prohibit.
I, myself, have had to deal with
repeated cases of drunkenness,
some of them habitual, unhin-
dered, and, to a certain extent,
I believe provoked or aggravated
by the existing law. Election
day in Burlington (when, if ever,
the uninitiated might expect the
law to be enforced) presents
ocular demonstration of the fu-
tility of the law.
2. Prohibition drives under
ground the mischief which it
seeks to cure, making it more
difficult to deal with the evil,
and impossible to regulate the
trade, as for instance in the
quality of liquor sold.
3. The present law leads, |
believe, in many cases to heavier
drinking, in clubs and at home,
liquor being purchased in larger
quantities than would be the
case if it were possible to pur-
chase at a restaurant a glass Of
wine or beer.
4. Especially perhaps among
the young prohibition provokes
resistance. Stolen drinks, not
only liquors, but waters, seem to
possess an added sweetness.
Of course, if all use of what
may be lntoxlcants, save Tor
medicinal purposes, were in it
self wrong, these two considera-
lions e and A would be of no
weight.
5. Few persons, l suppose,
with any knowledge of its actual
working, will deny that the law
as it exists is connected with a
vast amount of hypocrisy, on the
part of buyers, sellers and off
Gals.
May not this hypocrisy, being
a deeper and more widespread
evil, be a greater mischief than
the intemperance which it is
sought to check?
6. Prohibition, by many of its
earnest advocates, is connected
with the notion that all (saYe for
medicinal purposes) of drink,
that in excess may be intoXicat-
ing, is wrong. The use of such
drink is, in itself, no more wrong
than the use of tobacco. In
either case it is the misuse which
we have to guard against.
Doubtless, with many persons,
total abstinence (from wine or
from tobacco may be safest and
best. To attempt to enforce
this on all persons is to manufac-
ture an artificial sin, with the
risk of leading many persons to
think lightly Of what IS abso-
lutely wrong (for instance drunk
enness) because they have come
to recognize that there is no real
sin in what they have been
taught to regard as equally
wicked.
7. This suggests what seems
to me one of the most serious OBJ
jections to the prohibition law.
1t tends to break down the sense
of obligation in the case of all
law, human or divine. Here"
some one says, lis a law which
