Americans are reckless and carry
everything to excess. But can that
really be the attitude of a civilized
nation? To legislate as if the citi-
zens are irresponsible children, In
capable of moderation, would mean a
degradation of the whole country.
With the same right we might prohibit
every sport because it becomes ruin
Gus for the organism if carried to an
excess Surely the Americans are
reckless and excessive; otherwise we
should not have ten times more rail
road accidents than Europe, and ganrb-
ling and an absurd chase for money
all over the land. But the only sound
consequence would be that every re-
former has the duty to educate to-
wards moderation in every field. Pro-
hibition removes every temptation.
Thus it has no educative influence
whatever. To learn to be moderate in
wolves the development of will power,
which is beneficial in every walk of
life. Only towards who have no
trust in their own will prefer to be
removed from every temptation.
remainder well man who was presi-
dent Of an abstinence society for
many years, and then used once for
medicinal purposes a glass of brandy,
and as he had not been trained in any
moderation, the one glass stirred up
a craving for more until he was lying
in the gutter; and when he was
brought to me to be hypnotfzed he
confessed that he had no will to alb
stain from overindulgence. The cam
paign for temperance as against Pro-
hibition is campaign for education
which goes far beyond the special
purpose, and works against excessive
ness and recklessness in every field

toration in health and order might
soon be secured; the radicalism OF
