Serious Accident
Mr. John T. Truner, a well-known
Clinton farmer, met with a serious
accident while hitching a team of
horses to a cultivator. The three
horses were all hitched with the ex
ception of one trace when something
apparently frightened them and they
started away. Mr. Turner was able to
grasp one line, and in doing so caus
ed the team to swerve toward a fence
where a coil of loose wire lay. This
became tangled in the cultivator’s
teeth, and also caught Mr. Turner’s
feet, throwing him upon his back. He
was dragged in this position for a
considerable distance before the team
was stopped by his son who had been
working in an adjoining field, Mr;
Turner received terrible lacerations
and bruises. He is confined to his
home where he is suffering severly
from shock.’—Clinton News-Record.

We assume that none of our readers would publicly

Then let us look at the question fairly and
squarely:
Both at home and abroad there have been
experiments with prohibition. They have all been
unsuccessful. They have all proved that this
prohibition or unreasonable restriction of alcoholic
beverages does not promote temperance, but does
the opposite!
What happens . . . when the legal door closes, the
bootlegger’s door opens.
Normally law-abiding people constantly and
unblushingly break the law!
Don’t let this happen again!
People want social relaxation. Experience has
shown that they will get it whether the law permits
or not. ; • "
Where this relaxation is easy to get there is
seldom any abuse.
. The right method, then, of combating excess must
be to continue to make it lawful for people to bbtain
a mild, healthy beverage which will help them relax,
enable them to enjoy one another’s conipany, without
inviting abuse.
This is the British tradition. Because self-control .
rather than law control is the British tradition!
If the prohibitionists desire to. abolish the evils of
excessive drinking, they should realize that the
destruction of the present carefully controlled
facilities is the certain way to drive men to abuse!
