ronmcrance will never come from prohibition, from an
attempt of a minority to coerce a majority of the people.
The truly temperate man is the man who controls him
self, not the man who is controlled by somebody else, not
, the man compelled by a lawmaking minority to do what
lie ought to do.
.For mairy years the world has grown gradually more
temperate. Drunkenness has gradually diminished. Less
than two hundred years ago drunkenness was not only tol
erated, but rather admired among the greatest men, the
director of governments. But now it is tolerated no
where, and only pitied in the glitter.
With this wonderful change for the better, prohibition
has had nothing whatever to do.
Maine, the prohibition state, suffers from drunkenness,
from tho effects of poisonous drink, highly charged with
alcohol, more perhaps than any state, in the Union.
Maine, tlie prohibition slate, is cursed with a groat
body of secret drunkards, because temperate, open drink
ing of mild beverages is prevented by law and whisky
drinking is made compulsory and encouraged. Prohibi;
tion must luvyc that effect everywhere.
It is painful to say anything that might offend or dis
courage tho earnest prohibitionist. There 'are no better
men or women living than those sincerely trying to help
their fellow creatures and to discourage excessive drink
ing. But if tho man who now tries to encourage temper
ance by force and prohibition is sincere, so was the man
sincere who once tried to make people religious by the
rack and the thumbscrew and other violent measures.
Tt is necessary to talk freely on the question of prohibi
tion. The temperate nations are the nations that drink
the mild beverages, the light natural wines and beers. The
intemperate nations are the ones that drink the fiery spir
itous liquors, whisky, gin, brandy and vodka.
Prohibition driven out bv lnw fhn lnillcv lin-hf,. harmless
drinks of temperate people wines and beers. Tt compels
men who will drink. to take the whiskies and gin and con
centrated stimulants, easily hidden and of which a small
amount produces drunkenness.
In Maine, per capita, there is ten times more drunken
ness than there is in Prance. In Maine, prohibition rules
and tho law says no' man shall buy anything to drink. In
Prance thero oxists teniperancc and no prohibition.
The French government in public placards and by edu
cation at government expense denounces the use of high
ly alcoholic drinks, and it encourages and even subsidizes
the production and the sale of light natural wines.
If, tomorrow, you should establish prohibition in
Prance, if you forbade the public selling of light, harmless
stimulants that the people have always taken and always
will take, you would drive out the use of the light wines
that produce a temperate race and you would compel the
use of whiskies, gin and other drinks that produce drunkenness.
So it is in Germany, where all the people from time
immemorial have, been temperate drinkers "of light and
wholesome beers, with a very small percentage of alcohol.
There is infinitely less drunkenness in Germany, where
prohibition is never heard of, than in Maine or in Kansas,
our two most distinguished prohibition states.
There is infinitely less drunkenness, less crime and
disorder due to drink in Germany, Prance or Italy, where
the people are temperate and where everybody drinks the
really temperate drinks, than in any one of our southern
states recently converted to prohibition.
Prohibition in Germany would mean driving out harm
less beers, which do not lead to intoxication. But prohibi
tion would not stop men from drinking. It would compel
them to give up beer, which cannot be hidden, and replace
it with schnapps, the German substitute for whisky.

History proves that teetotalism is fatal to a race. Ex
amples : Turkey and India. While a man is temperate him
self, and if he chooses, leading the life of a teetotaler, he
ought to realize that lie has no right to force his will upon
another. He ought to read history intelligently. To study
other countries intelligently, and know that there is no
such thing as real temperance based on prohibition,
Arthur Brisbane, in the New York Journal.
