to the capital involved than any other bust

from finding employment. Out of every $Ioo

Liquor produces the bulk Of our crime, pau

the major part of its direct taxation. Com

Now, foreign silence on the development OF
the last few months in China has been very
remarkable. Save for telegram and an

indifference to what has occurred since August.

not uniformed about this; they are, indeed,
seriously concerned about a phenomenon

Many citizens feel that they have an inherent
right to drink liquor if they choose, but no
intelligent citizen imagnes that he has an in
herent right to sell liquor. Twelve decisions
of the Supreme Court of the United States
declare that no citizen has an inherent right
to sell liquor Tie principle OF government
involved has been practised by civilized gov
ernments from the beginning, namely, barter
and sale conducted by private citizen tor
profit shall not be permitted by the govern
ment to continue after the fact is established
that II harms the community.
In finding facts concerning the effect OF
liquor we fortunately do not have to depend
on mems opinions, because the scientific world
has now fully established the real nature OF
alcohol Alcohol is one of the low oxide deriv-
atives OF the hydrocarbons. Science has estab-
lished this fact just as it has pronounced the
nature of other low oxide derivatives, such as
carbolic acid, chloral, belladonna, morphine
and strychnine.
Citizens may differ in judgment as to those
political policies which are best to adopt IN
solving this problem but every intelligent citi-
zen ought to know the three simple findings
of science regarding the nature OF alcohol and
its effect upon living organisms These ind
ines. as completely established as the law OF

National Degeneracy, Already Apparent
Will Follow Failure to Suppress Liquor
Trade, Says Congressman.

We maintain that Congress has no option
other than to submit such an amendment 10
the states for ratification or rejection Our
demand is not that Congress shall make TINS
country wet or dry, but that Congress grant
the sisterhood of states their constitutional
right Of referendum
This is now our battleground-the right OF
referendum. We are willing in this matter
TO abide by the judgment OF three-fourths OF
all the states 1t is safe TO say that no party
worthy 10 exist under our institutions would
nut itself in the position OF denying to the
sixty.odd million American citizens who have
voted prohibition by majority vote the con-
stitutionally provided right OF referendum or
would put itself in the position OF opposing
in larger sense the genius OF democratic IN
stitutions
The amendment expressly leaves out any
prohibition against citizens using liquor,
so there can be no allegation based upon al
legged invasion OF individual liberty or upon
complaint that the proposed law is sumptuary'
The amendment also expressly omits any pro-
hbition upon citizens having Intoxicating
liquors in his home, so there can be no ques-
ton Of an infringement upon the sanctity OF
the home or any OF the domestic institutions
based upon the bill Of rights for Anglo -Saxor
Liberties The amendment simply would pro
hibit the sale md what relates 10 the sale o.
intoxicating liquor for beverage purposes.
