President of Liquor

Self-Government

CINCINNATI, June S-''The solution Of
what II commonly called the liquor
question depends upon what we consider
the problem 10 be-" said Samuel Wool
ner, jr. Of Peoria. ILL., president of the
National Wholesale Liquor Dealers esso-
citation, at the opening session today Of
that organization
The prohibitionists. continued Mr..
woolner, would have MS believe that
the aboiishment OF the legitimate manu-
focture and sale OF liquor would remove
entirely the demand and stop drinking
absolutely; that the nation would be
much better off and that the individual
living In this padded and perfumed at
mosphere would be happy and commended,
more efficient and Of more use to the
community, longer lived, and stronger
minded: that II would minimize murder
and crime OF ali sodts, remove the cause
OF poverty and III health and do away
with aims houses. jails and insane
asyiumA. and asyiums for the feeble
minded.
THE persona engaged In the liquor
business contend that they are simply
supplying q want and a need. The de-
mand IL here, otherwise there would be
no supply. that the people have an I'M
alienable and Unborn and God-given right

misery than II causes that IL produces
more Joy tfAn sorrow; that IL adds TO
the efficiency. instead OF taking away

producing stronger and healthier minds,
which IL greater preventive Of crime
Of all kinds and causes lesser demand
for institutions such as jalls and hos

than would be required under prohibition
or total abstinence"
After reading the annual report Of
United states Commissioner OF Internal
Revenue William II. Osborn in which
Illicit distIlllng during tho last fiscal year
was said 20 have increased slightly over
the preceding year, Mr. woolner said:
1T can readily be seen from the COM
inissioner's report that prohibition neither
prohibits nor lessons the demand. merely
changing from the legitimate manufact-
urlng and distribution TO illigitimate.
Let us have local self government so
that every individual sbsll be left free
TO eat and drink what hc chooses until
he has proved himself incompetent to
exercise this freedom without Jeopardiz-
ing the life. property and liberty OF his
