Book Description
Excerpt from A Thoughtful Article for Thoughtful People on Prohibition and Local Option: Together With Methods Suggested for the Regulation of the Liquor Traffic and for the Promotion of Temperance Liquor legislation must necessarily fol low one of two general policies. It may aim at the abolition of the liquor traffic, or at the regulation of the traffic. These two policies are extreme Opposites at every point and in every feature. The object of one is to kill, that of the other is to cure. It is on this broad question of general policy that the peoeple are divided today. No. Legislative system has ever been more extensively nor fairly tested than that of prohibition. During the last sixty years it has been tried on the statewide scale in many different sections of the country and under the most diverse social and political conditions, the periods of trial ranging from three years in Nebraska to fifty-three years in Vermont. By its re cord, by what it has done and'by what it has not done, prohibition must be judged. On every page of that record, from be ginning to end, are written the words fail ure, folly, farce. Nowhere and at no time, in all its history, has prohibition aecom plished a single one of its avowed objects. Nowhere has it abolished the liquor traffic; nowhere has it prevented the. Consumption of liquor nor lessened the evil of intemper ance. Neither as a state-wide system nor under Local Option has prohibition ever made the slightest contribution toward the solution of the liquor problem. '1he one solitary service that it has rendered to society is that of furnishing a warning ex ample oi the supreme folly of attempting to legislate virtue into men's lives.
