BE HONEST WITH
PROHIBITION
-o
Be Honest in Logic: Prohibi
tion is no more the cause of
bootlegging than the seal on a
banknote is the cause of coun
terfeiting.
Be Honest in Theory: Light
wines and beer will no more
cause observance of law than
permission to sell all liquors
caused obedience to former laws.
Be Honest in Facts: You have
seen less drunkenness in public
life during the past five years
than you saw during any equal
previous period.
Be Honest in Judgment: Pro
hibition no more interferes with
proper medicinal use of alcohol
than the prohibition of narcot
ics interferes with their medi
cinal use.
Be Honest in Observation: For
each adverse effect of prohibi
tion you see, you. can find mani
feld benefits if you will look for
them.
Be Honest in Opinion: Person
al expressions against the law
dees as much to encourage law
lessness as personal approval of
Germany encouraged disloyalty.
Be Honest in Humor: Jokes
that hold prohibition up for ri
dicule do more to breed con
tempt than the wild arguments
et the wets.
Be Honest in Mind: To believe
only reports against Prohibition
and to reject all reports which
are favorable manifests a bias
of mind incapable of seeing
facts.—National Enquirer, Aug
ust 18, 1927.
. .“The police must not, forget,”
said a judge recently, “that free
speech is an American institu
tion.”
