THE AMERICAN ISSUE

INCIDENT No. 2. Two white men in Mary
land exercised their personal liberty by pouring kero-
sene on a negro companion and setting him afre. Be-
fore he died the negro said the white men had always
been friendly with him. But some liquor dealer had
exercised his personal liberty by selling the crime in
citing stuff. The men INDUCED their personal liberty
to embrute themselves, and-WHAT ABOUT THE
NEGROS RIGHT TO LIFE, LIBERTY AND
PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS?
INCIDENT No. 3 was published not only in the
same paper but on the same page as the personal lib
erty advertisement above mentioned. Here it is:
Convicts in Penitentiary Declare For Prohibition.
Philadelphia, Pa, July 6-(Sun Special)-Out of a total
have signed a petition which will be submitted to the next leg
islature asking statewide Prohibition.
The petition is probably the strongest sociological argument
ever made against the liquor traffic. Without a word or even a
suggestion from Warden McKentry, the prisoners confined
signed their names, and in many instances volunteered to go be-
fore a legislative committee and tell how drink has wrecked
their lives.
ut is unique, and the most manly document ever sent from
a penal institution" was the terse comment of Warden Nc
Kentry last night. ut is an appeal to decent men serving in
the Legislature to come to the aid of unfortunates confined in
this institution. Seventy per cent of the prisoners claim that
their downfall is due to rum. 1t is certainly a wonderful argu-
ment against the liquor traffic"

Drunk and Didn't Know

In Columbus, O., the other night, a man strangled
the wife of another man to death. He gave himself up
at the police station, and said he onmitted the crime
while drunk, and didn't know what he was doing.
The murderer went to the home of his neighbor
~unlaWfu1ly. There he saw another admirer of the
woman, starting to a saloon for beer. This angered
him, and he killed the woman.
Booze and the social evil go together. Both ad-
mirers of another mans wife were drinking men. The
woman sent the one lover out for beer, and the other
lover, in an intoxicated condition, killed her out of
jealousy.
1t used to be accepted, in defense of crime, that the
criminal was drunk. 1t no longer is accepted. In this
day, wise persons know that a man is not excused on
the ground of being intoxicated. In fact, intoxica-
ton adds to his condemnation.
But the people have gone farther. They no longer
condemn simply the criminal, but they extend the con-
demnation to the man who sold him the liquor, the firm
that manufactured it, and the voter who voted in favor
Of its manufacture and sale.
This murderer was drunk on liquor obtained from
a licensed saloon. His rival in the affections of the
silly woman was going to a licensed saloon for beer.
Had the murder occurred in dry territory, the liquor
people would have preached a sermon on the evils
growing out of speakeasies.
