Areument for prohIbition.

OMAHA. Neb.. Nov. Alto the Editor
Of The Bee The letter by one OF your
correspondents against prohibition was
read with interest 1t employs the usual
arguments. and few new ones.
Your correspondent believes that we
have a guaranteed right to purchase and
sell liquor. Let me ask him another
question. II his son was becoming a
mental and moral wreck from liquor,
would he speak to him about IL? II
fatherly lecture did not help would he
want to prevent the boy from obtainil g
liquor. II It was in bis power to do w?
Would he listen to the young mans talk
OF guaranteed rights? All drinkers of
liquors do not become drunkards, ana
not quite all the prohihitionists buy liquor
behind the prescription case Of q drug
gist. -s.fH f.s t..,. se,t
AS for his argument "conflscation with
out compensation" that is as old as
the hills. II the liquor makers and
dealers OF Nebraska, want to get out Of
the business let Them offer their So
called rights and business to the pro-
hibitionists at cost. / will wager that
the majority OF people in the state would
raise the money in ninety days. They
don't want TO sell out.
The liquor interests have no special
rights They have been granted the
privilege by the people. to make or sell
liquor Under certain restrictions within
the nation and this state. but this was
done before the nation or state became
fully aware of the danger II the people
have the right to grant a privilege, they
have the right to revoke It.
