A Grave
Injustice
Do those who advocate the
absolute prohibition of the
manufacture and sale of all
alcoholic liquors realize the
seriousness of the social and
economic crisis that would
be precipitated by such legis­
lation? Are they aware of the
fact that the heads of families
aggregating probably not less
than three million people
would suddenly be deprived of
their sole means of livelihood,
and that properties valued in
the aggregate at perhaps two
billion dollars would as sud­
denly become worthless?
It is doubtful if they do fully
realize this,yet these are figures
given by no less a writer than
Dr. Henry Smith Williams in
an article in the “Ladies Home
Journal," reviewing the pro­
hibition movement. And he
adds; “Personally I am at a
logs to understand how anyone
who has the slightest grasp of
economic questions can contem­
plate with equanimity the anarch­
istic possibilities—nay, certainties
—which reveal themselves through
the slightest use of the imagina­
tion in connection with these fig­
ures. To me, at least, it seems
obvious that the only thing which
has kept the prohibition move­
ment before the people of the
United States is the simple fact
that prohibition does not prohibit. ’ ’
Thinking men and women who
seek the truth and are unswayed
by prejudice, and who give the
foregoing facts the consideration
they deserve cannot escape a like
conclusion. —Paid AdvertiMmeat.
