/ These are the reasons why the
American people are thinking
4 that local option is a two-edged
sword which no man can swing
so as to cut only one way.
+ Perhaps one Of the most dam
gerous underlying features of
the local option experiment IS
the cry of the lawlessness which
it fails to curb, possibly aug
ments. As directed against the
drink traffic, ii may be likened
to the result of a disobedient
child, oft reproved but never
conquered. Thus may obstinacy
be developed into disobedience,
followed by defiance of authority
then omen rebellion. The liquor
traffic will not be conquered IN
any place by switching it with a
referendum vote under local
option, while the Federal hand
pats it on the back. and arms it
with every Federal power to de-
feat and defy the will of the
majority.
4 OF course there is a principle
Of local option in American
government. The right of the
people to locally determine upon
town library, bond issue for
, streets. installation of water sys-
TENS, incorporation Of towns,
: etc, and other strictly local ques-
tons arising locally, and which
can never be anything but local
! questions, presents matters cali
: ing for the application of the
local option principle. But the
question must be local. and il
must be optional, which means,
if il means anything, that it has
right to be agitated, passed
upon and settled. II is not OPP
tional if the result of the election
this year may be reversed and
annulled next election. That is
not option, but chaos running in
a circle.
And granting for local option,
, whenever sought to be applied
to the drink traffic, all that it:

/ teal step by-step" plan of war

he would give them the preference over
Manhattan and Aloysius of the Independ-
