Prohibition Does Not Prohibit

WebstefIS unabridged states that the
primary meaning Of the word prohibit
is to forbid" while in a secondary

while by the nature OF things 1t can

reason that a pencil does not write,

likewise are instruments. expressing
the will Of the people who make them.
No law possesses self-enforcing pow

they seek to forbid any more than a
pencil will glide of its own accord

are instruments, not forces. Hence
the need OF an executive department of
government to enforce the laws after
they hare been enacted as expressions
Of the will Of the people. The thou

in bitter terms the statements publisned
yesterday in a New York newspaper
purporting TO be an interv. ew with
