DOES PROHIBITION PROHIBIT?


That is great question with the
"Wets.' They claim that it does not
prohibit and therefore they are oppos-
ed to it. One would think that they
are greatly interested in the progress
of the temperance movement when
they talk of prohibition. The suffi-
cient answer to all their statements
when they say that more liquor of all
sorts is sold where the prohibition law
exists, is the fact that brewers and
saloon people everywhere and always
are opposed to prohibition. If more
beer and liquor is sold in prohibition
territory, the manufacturers of those
liquors would, naturally, be the great
est advocates Of prohibition.
On the contrary, they are the great
est opposers of it. They furnish the
money with which to fight the prohi-
bition movements; they send out
speakers to oppose it. If there is to
be found in all the country repro
bate preacher, they attach "Rev." to
his name and send him out 10 speak
against prohibition. :.
All the quotations as to the failure
of the prohibition law by such speak
ers, has a sufficient answer in the
fact that they are speaking for the
"Wets."
All the great temperance organi-
cations of this country and of other
countries have made a study of the
best methods of fighting the great
evil and of saving the poor unfortun-
ates that have become addicted to the
habit Of drinking, and these, who have
no other motive than that of saving
their fellow men and their country,
have, after thorough investigation of
all methods, concluded that prohibi-
ton is the only sane and effective
way of stamping out the curse of
drink.
