llclont Vet the rule of prohibition
as It has now boon Imposed upon the
liaiilr law of the I'llltod Htates Is In
direct and absolute illsregnrd of this
fundamental principle.
The Ingle of prohibition Is basical
ly unsound In that It Imposes upon
the efllclont and self-controlled rulos
applicable In eiiulty and common
huiiho only to tbo weaklings of socie
ty. Prohibition denies to A that
which ho may use legitimately ho
cmiso I) may make It a subject of
iibuso. Thus A Is penalized In re
spect oi tho dollclencles of II. Es
tablish tho rtilo that one may not en
Joy that which another may nhuso,
nnd the result would bo universal
demoralization, There aro thoso
who drive motor-cars recklessly,
rlsklnR their own lives nnd menac
ing tho lives of qthors. Under tbo
logic of prohibition nobody should
be allowed to drlvn a motor-car. In-
cldontnl to navigation of tho seus
ships nro lost and men, women nnd
children nro drowned to tho loss and
distress of socloty. I'ndor tho logic
of prohibition navigation of the sens
should bo prohibited. Thoro Is no
nctlvlty, no development In tho field
of Industry, which has not Its vic
tims. I'ndor tho fnlso logic of pro
hibition Industry should cease. Thus
rognrded ns n principle, prohibition
under closo analysis runs quickly In
tc absurdity.
Tho cornerstone of our system Is
tho principle of Individual liberty.
It wns worked out by n moral people
through generations of restricted
llfo tindor subjection to nn old-world
mastery. It wns In a sense tho dis
covery of our forefnthors nnd It wns
by them declared nnd fixed In our
national charter guaranteeing to nil
tbo "Inallcnnblo rights" of "liberty
and tbo pursuit of hnpplncss." For
n contury and a hnlf It has stood ns
tho basic prlnclplo In American life.
It has been the stimuli of Incompar
nblo achievements in materia! and
moral development. It Is our prldo
nnd otmboast. It Is a mngnet which
hns drawn to us tho youth," tbo en
orgy, tho hnpo of'other lands. What
becomes of this principle a prlncl
plo which hns lod vastly to tho en
lightenment and progress of man
kind and which remains tho hopo
of tho world under a rule which
denies thauso of thnt which tho vast
mnjorlty'mny use without hnrm and
ovon holpfmly? What becomes of
liberty and tho rlghtR of proporty
when thnt which has lyon produced
legitimately nnd mny bo used dis
creetly Is subject to sclzuro nnd des
truction by ngentR of government?
What becomes of tho principle of In

ple to comprehension of tho fact thnt
prohibition Is a demoralizing and dis
integrating rule Thousands oven
millions normally patriotic and ha
bitually ii'spoclfiil of law hold tlio
rulo oi prohibition In resentment, j
Thoso who hitherto havo stood as
ardent supporters of government j
nnd law become undor prohibition
haters of government nnd violators,
of law. Molding this particular law
lli contempt and feeling no scruples
of conscience In evading It, some
thing Is lost of respect for Inw In '
general. Is It possible that prohlbl-'
tlon can yield In the wny of moral ,
effects anything comparablo to the
moral loss under Its nutocratlc pros-'
crlptlons nnd Its meddling enforce-j

very serious question Indeed, If gov

which puts upon vast numbers of the
people assuredly n majority re
strictions In disregard of their pro
pensities, their habits, their Judg
ment? Consent of tho governed logi
cally menns cheerful consent; and
there Is no cheorful consent where
multitudes nro resentful nnd rebel
lious, when ovnulon Is practiced
widely nnd with no sense of turpi
tude. Prohibition makes a crlmo of
thnt which tho average man and
woman does not deem a crlmo. It
creates Inevitably In tho body social
a vast mass of discentent: nnd upon
the basis of discontent millions au
tomatically become, If not nctual
violators of tho law, traitors to the
law In spirit.

prohibition was dovetailed with a
fraudulent war prohibition and "put

fighting In alien lands. Thero Is no

practlco to n, coarse swinging of tho
political bludgeon, thnt wns not em

constitutional prohibition violates
tho first prlnclplo in social organi

It will fail because it is fouvded- in
a false principle and supported by a
false logic, because It Is destructive
of patriotic sentiment and tends to
destruction of loyalty to govern
