EOR many years the prohibtonss have abored to stop
the sale Of all kinds Of liquor the various state, Laws
have been passed but the prohbory statutes didn't always
bring temperance But congress finally puts the ban
distilled liquor and permits the sale of beer and light wine,
We will phase OF the temperance question under
partial prohbitory law.
good many students Of economics long have declared
that II the United States would restrict the sale of whisky
and other distilled beverages and give free rein to the sale
Of beer and light wines with their small alcoholic content
fine test would be made of method that would increase
