Crhe New York Evening World,

for the good of the country trust
you will continue until this very i'm
portant proposition is put to a popu-
lar vote, or at least modified.
Whatever good may come OF Pro-
hibition will be Offset many times by
evil and death resulting from the use
of prohibition whiskey," manufac-
tured and drunk in out theI way
places, to say nothing of the i'm
properly made home cOncoctionS,
most of which believe deadly. Then
another very important feature Is the
state of mind OF the countless thou
| sands who do not want or believe In
Prohibition and consider that their
rights have been stolen from them by
our misrepresentation in Congress.
Taking into consideration the pres
| ent state of unrest and general dis
satisfaction, II is very dangerous to
allow the Eighteenth Amendment to
/ stand. Whether or not Prohibition is
good or may eventually prove so, has
nothing to do with the seriousness of
}, this. 1t is n bad precedent, dead
wrong, and un-AmeriCan as well.
Here's a suggestion. Have the
| Government control the manufacture
and sale of strong drink, place high
tax on 1t to discourage its being drunk
as a beverage, and sold only by espe-
cially licensed dealers by the bottle.
Allow the retail sale of good beer and
good ale only under sanitary and we'll
governed conditions (not as hereto
fore). The people would then be
contented (take for example the man
who wrote the letter headed "A
Sneaking Trick" in your to-days
issue) and in the mood to do an
honest days work, and dare say
even the Prohibiti0nists would then
have no just cause for complaint.
Alcohol is not at fault The chief
trouble has been the manner in which
II was allowed to be sold, also the
poor quality. j. b. Il.
