DR.. Howard A. Kelley of Johns Hop
kins hospital, Baltimore, characterizes
the liquor traffic as follows:
Had alcohol never been discovered.
and were it then in my power to por-
tray the effects of such a discovery,
all men, without exception, would de-
clare it impossible to conceive of any
more diabolical plan for the deprada-
ton and destruction of the human
race. Our greatest foes are the man.
ufacturers and the distributors of
alcohol. The story Of injuries done
by drink is so written in the sad life
history Of many Of our greatest men:
is so evident throughout our land in
squalor, poverty, misery and crime,
and replete in prisons, warehouses;
and asylums, as we'll as in domestic
infelicity, that 1t is inconceivable that
any intelligent, rational man can DENY
the necessity for strong, united action
to rid the land Of both manufacturer
