TON.
AS an example Of llquor-users who
| acknowledge the evils of drinking and
are helping to vote out the traffic is
the millionaire packer, Patrick Cud-
ahy. He is doing lne antillquor edu.
cational work in his packing plant at
Cudahy, Wis. In an open letter pub
lished In the Milwaukee Times he thus
describes some of the effects of
worldwide prohibition as he sees
| them:
If some all-powerful person were
to appear at the present time on earth
and perform a miracle, changing all
the booze in the world back to water,
and issuing decree that any person
who attempted to make another drop
Of it would be struck dead by an cleo
trio bolt from heaven, just imagine it
you can the change that would take
place In the world. say ninety days
after this event. See the red noses
changing to white; the fat beer bloats
shrinking to their natural size; the
man whom alcohol made brute of.
returning to his normal condition: his
wife, whose life this alcohol brute sad
dened and almost destroyed, returning
to her normal condition; the wrinkles
and tear burrows in her face being
smo0thed out; the color coming back
to her cheeks; her eyes becoming
bright again; her saddened and
wretched face becoming joyful and
happy.
In short, the home thar alcohol
made wretched is now joyful and
happy.
I'VE also see the saloons changed
into places Of usefulness-some Of
them ice cream and soda water par
Tors. A great many of them are used
for book stores, for the men who spent
their time In saloons are now reading
books.
'The saloonkeepers themselves have
gone back to their trades and are now
useful citizens. And by doing away
with alcohol we do not need nearly
SO many policemen. About seventy
per cent of the policemen have been
discharged and are engaged In other
employment In the shops, and on the
farms, changed from idle men to USE
full producers. The prisons, such as
our house of correction, are changed
from prison to recreation halls. The
grounds about them are converted
into beautiful parks. People are now
saving the money formerly spent for
booze. swings banks are sprlnglng up
all over the country. In short, the
drunkards and criminals of the world,
made so by alcohol, of all classes, are
now Industrious people and living
happy lives. What a glorious change,
if this could be brought about, and
it may be partially brought about some
tine by prohibition"
Mr.. Cudahy confesses he drinks both
beer and whisky, yet seeing the evils
of intemperance he uses his influence
against the saloons in his own town.
A friend of his, Mr.. J. P. Benscher, in
a letter published by the same paper,
says:
II am not a prohibitionist. drink
beer, although / have never touched
whisky, but I have seen the misery
which it has created, and / shall do
everything within my power to wipe
out the thirty-eight bum factories
which we now have in Cudahy."
Many drinking men, rich and poor,
are taking the same attitude.
