SMALL TOWN PEACE
A life-long hobo recently has been
giving advice to resident~. of small
te�wns. .liter tramping all his life
about North America, both Canada
and , the United States, he has qan.
eluded that the happlest and th,1
most comfortably situated people
are the resident+; of the small towns,
and rural communities. Perhaps
they do not snake so much money as
city people, but their cost or living
is much less.

What is the object
of Government control?
The best method of determining the
merit of any system of government
control of the sale of brewed malt
beverages is to apply this simple test.
If the system aims at coercion, at
making people "good" against their
Will, it is not only undernocratic but,
experience has shown, it will fail.
If the system aims at education, at
making it easier for people to learn
self-control, it is on the right track.
Any insistence that the consuinp-
tion of these wholesome, mildly stim-
ulating beverages should only take
place in private behind shut doors,
cannot give people the opportunity
to learn to use them sanely, decently,
and to their own advantage,
When, on the other hand, they
are available in public places, under
proper control of course,, education
begins, for then public opinion dis-
courages excess,
Unfortunately it takes time to re-
pair the ravages of prohibition. A
whole generation were deprived of
the opportunity of learning moder-
ation. So there are still abuses, which
government control corrects.
A careful study convinces us that
a sound public opinion is growing
in favour of reasonable and tem-
perate enjoyment, The present sys-
tem in fact is proving successful.
In the meanwhile prohibition ex-
tremist,i use the behaviour of the
victims of their own legislation as
an argument for repeating their fatal
mistake.
