WRITER FLAYS
PROHIBITION LAW

aTf the people wanted prohibition
they would not care what II cost
TO get it.
sIPrOhIbitIOn il the curse IL is
simply because It Is admittedly n
hIdeOus farce, because 1T does not
destroy the demand for liquor, but
merely vItiateS the channels
through which the supply flows
that satisfies the demand.
ut is the lowering of the moral
tone of community consequent
upon the shocking hypocrisy bred
by the prOhIbitOry law which is at
the bottom of the business staGna-
ton which invariably follows the
imposition of that law.
''Facts and figures furnished by
prOhibitinists and officials of the
Internal Revenue Ofice embOdy
the sum and substance of NIL the
immortality, all the dishonesty, and
all the hypocrisy which the prOhI-
bitiOn law Is breeding throughout
our Iand."-Percy Andrews, Or
sanizer of the Ohio Brewers VIgi-
lance Committee.

hibition. 100000 people are today
drinking illegally half as much again
Of that which they formally drank le-
gally"
These figures quoted were used by
Mr.. Andreas as an argument that they
embody all the immortality. all the dis
honesty and all the hypocrisy which
prohibition IS breeding throughout the
land. These figures. said the speaker,
are making good men worse instead of
bad men better
Following statistical evidence tending
10 prove that prohibition does not pro-
Elblt, and that in prohibition States and
communities inhabitants manage TO find
an occasional drink, Mr. Andreas said
1t IS not more laws we need bur bet
ter laws, nor are better laws so needful
as better law enforcement Our would
be refOrmers, all these years. have been
merely attempting 70 remedy the non
cnfOrclbility of existing laws by the
enactment Of others which are still Tess
capable Of enactment. 1t has been
openly admitted by some prohibitionists
that the prohibition laws are fagrantly
disregarded in the cities and that il
takes one-hah Of the people to watch
the other half.
I say that a law which requires
such conditions is a bad law and an
absurd law. A law which is nOtriousiy
violated and secretly held in contempt
by many of the very people who hypO-
critically voted for II is a bad law and
an absurd law"
Quotes President Taft.
AT the conclusion 20 his argument
Mr.. Andreas quoted from President
Taft in the latter's work on -Four AS,
poets of Civic Duty as follows:
Nothing is more foolish. nothing
more utterly at variance with sound
policy. than to enact a law which, by
/ reason Of conditions surrounding tnt
community, Is incapable of enforcement
/ In cases where the sale Of liquor can
not be prohibited in fact, ii IS far better
20 regulate than TO stamp il out"
