For this rcnson your committee does

Tho aim of all restrictive and pro-
hibitory legislation concerning the
liquor traffic is the salvation of the
individual and the protection of So
ciety. The root evil of the traffic lies
in the fact that 1t Is traffic in IN
toxoants, in that which has IN II the
power to rob the individual OF MS
reason, to blunt his affection, to de-
stroy his self-control, to damn him
for time and eternity and to make the
individual a sorrow, oftentimes indeed
a terror. to his wife and children. and
a menace TO the prosperity. happiness
and personal safety OF their fellow
men, that Is of society al large. Any
view of the subject that takes In only

individual to drink liquor to his com
fort" is lamentably partial. and makes
light of the terrible result to the In
dividual SO likely to follow the drink

in addition utterly ignores the rights
of society In relation to the drink

The rights of society are carefully
guarded by laws regarding the loca-
