The American people have DELHI
erately adopted Prohibition through
the legal processes established by
the Constitution, and now they must
deport themelves accordingly. Good
citizens obey the law because II is
the law. Those who do not and who
seek 10 evade or violate IL for the
purpose OF personal gain will get
small sympathy from the law-abid-
ing masses when they are laid by
the heels and penalized for their
acts. IL will take several years
either 10 prove or disprove the many
claims Of benefits or assertions OF
evils TO result from Prohibition. In
the end IL is not going TO be judged
by special instances Of good or evil,
but by the large general conditions
IL brings about. II IL adds largely
TO the purchasing power Of the peo-
pie, IL IL stimulates home owning
IL Il results in a much larger aver
age OF production in industry, il il
reduces crime and pauperism and
lessons domestic unhappiness and
strife. II IL raises the general stand
ard Of physical health and the moral
quality OF our citizenship. belief in
which was the great moving cause
OF its adoption, none but those who
are seeking personal advantage will
want Il abolished.
