Without it democratic government would not be possi- ble. There would be no method of obtaining a reliable expression of the will and aspiration of the whole people. To counterfeit an election is as menacing to the common welfare as to counter- feit money. It destroys the in- tegrity of government and de- bases the ballot box. Such refer- endums are certain to be taken when they will best s the purpose of those who pay their great cost. As in the present Di- gest Poll, a part of the results are given out before the ballot is complete. There are none of the safeguards which make such a vote fair and authoritative. It means little for some private agency to collect a few million ballots in a country where 40 million people vote in an election. Such referendums, even if they could be honestly conducted, are certain to be used to paralyze law enforcement, to justify law- breaking and to bring about nul- lification. Let those who en- courage violation of the Consti- tution realize that they are help- ing to tear down their own house over their own heads. They not complain if the fruits of their efforts in the form of automobile accidents and increasing crime mean ultimate disaster to their ip § ‘Take M—NATURE’S REMEDY—tonight.. ‘Youreliminative organswill be functioning Droperiy by morning and your constipation ‘will end with a bowel action as free and easy as nature at her best—n0 paid, no griping.

And is that suf- |ficient reason that the public, even to the individual, must regard his conclusions as final? or that they must cease to advance their own ar- guments, opinions and theories on a subject of human interest to every- one? It is my contention that each person is entitled to an opinion on lany worthwhile topic whether or not that opinion is prompted by authority or by logical reasoning. The one is quite as important as the other! The repeal of prohibition would, ac- {cording to statistics and “conclusive statements” be detrimental to the grain farmer. Prohibition has sup- posedly aided the farmer because, since its enactment, prohibition has caused milk consumption to increase by twenty-eight per cent and that, in turn, has called into use more grain than was formerly used in the manu- facture of liquor. Milk consumption has increased and it is only logical to believe that more stock-food was needed to create the additional sup- ‘ply of milk. But—just how much jmore grain is being fed to milch jcows to produce the virtual increase in the milk food? Is the majority of thatthe grain itself or r\ther en- silage? And if it is mostly grain; |what kind? Just how much barley Jor rye does the average farmer or |dairyman use to further the milk out- put? Is barley and rye good stock feed, especially for milch cows? In view of these questions, which can enly be answered negatively, it would seem that prohibition repeal would not be detrimental to the farmer but would rather aid him in disposing of an additional portion of his unused grain surplus—even though it be but one per cent of total production. There are those, presumably, who believe that a return to the free con- |sumption of liquor would necessarily jentail a decrease in the consumption jof milk. On the contrary, it might increase the consumption of milk! |How? Simply by disparagement of ithe worst of all public parasites—the junder the present circumstances it is jthe bootlegger who cultivates and urges the adolescent child to drink his poison concoctions in secrecy When that class of children might be prompted, persuaded and encouraged jto drink the more wholesome prod- uct under the parental roof if liquor {were free to the adult and prohibited jonly to the youth of the nation as ‘formerly. Other more inherent evils jot the Prohibition Amendment would likewise be refuted if the unprin- leipied law were once discontinued. Respectfully yours, A. LEO SEVERN. | | !
