PUTS DRUNKARDS AND GLUTTONS
IN SAME GLASS
.
C. A. WIndie, editor of Brann's i
iconoclast, In a speech before the J
twenty-first annual convention of the
National Liquor Leagues' Association
of America, at Louisville, Ky., discus
sed the principles In prohibition. He
said:
"Everybody understands the purpose
of prohibition, but very few understand
what the principle Involves.
"The argument against drunkenness
has converted millions of people to
prohibition. These good people were1
deceived into believing that the argu
ment against drunkenness can be ap
plied to drink. The law of logic and
reason forbid.
"You can no more apply the argu
ment against drunkenness to drink J
than you can apply the argument
against gluttony to food. Millions of
honest prohibitionists believe the prin- '
clple to be right beenuse intemper
ance Is wrong.
"Millions or people are lighting to
day for prohibition because they be
lieve in temperance. They never stop
to consider the difference between
temperance und prohibition. Instead
of these words having the same mean
ing, they stand for opposite principles,
"Temperance permits, prohibition
rorbids.
"Temperance Is self-imposed and
self-enjoined. Prohibition is imposeu
by others without your consent and
enforced by others without your con
sent.
"When two principles are diametri
cally opposed both can not be right.
It is the balance wheel of civilization.
Temperance is born of reason. Prohibi
tion is the child of hysteria.
"Temperance is a Christian virtue.
Prohibition is political insanity.
"Every argument that proves tem
perance to be right, demonstrates that
prohibition is wrong.
Views of Celebrities.
"Adams was right.
"Thomas Jefferson condemned the
principle of prohibition when he said
'thrt It is the duty of our legislators
to declare and enforce our natural
rights and take none of them from us.'
"This is the essence of true democ
racy.
"Former President Taft denounced
prohibition as a ‘dangerous proposi
tion.’ His conclusion is confirmed by
both reason and experience.
"In defining prohibition, John Stuart
Mill, one of the greatest minds that
eve- graced the tides of time, declares
'hat 'so monstrous a principle Is far
more dangerous than any single In
terference with liberty; there Is no
violation of liberty which It would not
Justify.’
“When a member of the Illinois leg
islature, Abraham Lincoln went on
record against local option and state
wide prohibition. He believed in tem
perance, but he was emphatically and
unalterably opposed to the principle of
pror-ibUlon. When a state wide bill
Was introduced, Lincoln made the mo
tion tc table the bill and voted to kill
it. I .ipcoin was a great man—that Is
to suy, he was not a prohibitionist.
"These great men whose testimony
i offer did not oppose prohibition be
cause they drank, or wanted to engage
in ttie liquor business, but because they
knew the principle to be wrong, and
a menace to free institutions.
“Under true democracy there must
always exist two kingdoms. In one
of these kingdoms the majority may
rule. The majority have a right to
rule in matters in which all the people
are equally concerned. The majority
have a right to determine who shall
be elected to public office, how fast
men may run trains and automobiles,
the kind of house the citizen shall
erect within fire limits of great cities,
and regulate the rights of the indivdual
when his personal liberty contravenes
the rights of others.
Flights of the Individual.
"But society can not interfere with
the nutural rights of an individual un
less it is prepared to give him In ex
change something of equal or greater
.aiue. Society can deprive the indi
. mual of his rigut to reuress his pri
vate wrongs because it cun give him
ttie law, tne police uepartment and *ui
ihe machinery of justice for his pro
tection. Society gives him better pro
tection than he can afford himself,
and this Justifies interference by ma
jority action.
"But the individual under a dem
ocracy is master of a kingdom of his
own, a domintion in which his will
is supreme. Any invasion of this king
dom on the part of the majority is
criminal aggression and ought to be
resented and resisted by every man,
and woman worthy the name.
"He might stand alone and the
whole world against him and the ma
jority would not he great enough to
tell the individual what he should eat
or drink or think. These are personal
matters in which his rights are para
mount to the rights of society. So
ciety could give nothing in exchange
for religious liberty. It could offer no
substitute for the right of the indi
vidual to marry the man or women
of their choice. It can offer nothing
in exciiange for ills right to determine |
the food ho shall eat or the things he
i shall drink. What is food and drink
for one person may be poison to an
other.”—Adv.t
