The principle of prohibition Is
right, but the methods adopted by
the majority of politicians, who al
ways play to the influential. to put
it into effect have been nothing but
bluffs of the most dangerous kinds,
dangerous because theys give the
people a false idea of our national
ability to bring about reform and
lead the people to believe that all
public officials are being debauched
by this unjust law.
Majority Stand just
There can be nothing unjust in the
majority insisting that the minority
cease a habit the pursuit of which
is the source Of 80 per cent of our
crime and which, if allowed to run
unchecked. would destroy our ascen-
dency as a nation, commercially and
otherwise.
The present day enforcement may
not have dried up all the liquor
sources, but 1t has actually gotten
a good start and no one has ever
prophesied where we would have
been at present If we had not made
this effort to curb this vicious habit.
The principle of the abolition of
liquor and it's use in America has
not advanced further because the
great mass of otherwise well-behaved
people Is not convinced that the
moderate use Of alcohol is a crime,
and that violators are criminals and
should be treated as such.
The majority of the people OF
Ameriia are undoubtedly dry, but
will not fight for it. Having passed
a dry laww Of some kind they have
satisfied their consciences and are
with it.
Prohibition can only be COM
pletely successful by the dry ma
jOrity becoming as viciOusly active
for as the vets are most viciously
active against its enforcement.
The man voting dry says moth
ing. does nothing, gives nothing,
while the wet Is busy, day and night,
in doing everything to further his
cause.
Enforcement will drift along in
half-hearted way until some one

Besides, it is absolutely harmless,
