That's the question. And it’s a big one From time immemorial, there have been those who say prohibition is impossible—that it strikes at the very foundation of our free and untrammeled civilization through its threatened curtailment of personal liberty. And from time immemorial, there have been those on the other side who declare, liquor is the world’s worst curse. The Star this week suggested that its readers get busy and thresh the issue out. We want letters, short ones, telling why you are for the saloon, or why you are against it. We have a lot of them already. We want more. We like to see our readers get interested, and to spur the mon, we have offered a weekly prize of $10 for the best letters received, $5 for the best “d letter, and $5 for the best “wet” letter. Your communi- cations should contain not more than 150 words, and should be written on one side of the paper. You who are reading this—haven’t YOU an opinion in this thing. Of course you have.
