WOULD BE A BENEFIT Editor The Star: If the drinking of alcohol is harmful (and the evi- dence that it is #0 is overwhelming. Don’t take another dose of drugs You|ly convincing) then it seems to me how they must upset your stomach that the conclusion 1s unavoidable that prohibition would be a benefit The argument that prohibition does not prohibit is mere sophistry. It helps at least. One might as well say that since laws against crime do not prevent crime, let us have no laws. As to prohibition} being an “un-American infringe- | ment upon the rights of the Indl | vidual” that is sentimental poppy-| cook. The same might be sald ot} the laws against indecent exposure, | against smoking opflum and most | other laws. The man who votes “wet” for such a reason belongs to| the hysterical class called by H. G.| Wells the “Forgawdsakera.” Proht- | bition would save a dollar a day for many a man who drinks for “socla- bility” only, and snarls over his wife’s grocery bill, and it would) greatly reduce the drinking by| those poor fools who anak fe must have !{t R MEN GET IT ANYHOW Editor The Star: The Literary) Digest of April 11, page 811, refers to Maine as “Drunken Prohibition- Dain oF di F taught that nothing else could cure. the natyral way of curime dis- 4 chronic allmente—the way We cure with electricity feason drugs don't cure ts because they do not help nature, Nature needs @lectrictty, nourishment, something th: duliés up.
