(Jive Us Liberty
To the Editor
Give Us liberty to 8e11 booze weevil
we know poisnne s.4diera and time
helps the Germane, That is the cry
of the advertidemente of the Personal
Liberty League in many newspapers
at the piesent time. They don't seem
to care for the liberty for which our
fathers paid en dearly and which our
eoldiere are defending with their lives
in the trenches. They are willing to
risk that liberty to retain the liberty
to eels booze, They don't want liberty
for Caned's. Ir is liberty for them.
selves to sell scurf that makes drunk
,a.rds, paupers, criminals and insane.
That is the liberty they want.
To attain that end they stoop to any
falsehood. I have just been reading
one of their advertisements which is a
base attempt by cleverly worded faloe-
hoode, to defeat prohibition, to take
away the liberty of our sons and make
them the slaves of the bar rooms.
They want to take away our liberty
to he free from drunkenness, to have
our sons sober, to have fewer insane+
to have lower taxes, to have prosperity
instead of poverty, to have as little
crime as they have in Prince Edward
[eland and other prohibition states, to
.bare in the peace and prosperity that
has come already to Alberta and
Saskatchewan.
They Bay that prohibitionists want
to dictate what you shall drink. That
is simply untrue. Prohibition duet,
not say you shall not drink, but it
does say you shall not sell drink"
Every family is allowed a reasonable
quantity for their own use. That is
true of every prohibition state in the
union. Prohibition puts an end to
the treating system and makes it
more difficult to get drink, but thos •
who want it for their own use
have liberty to get it. But that does
not suit the Personal Liberty League,
for it gives people the liberty to drink
or to leave it alone. They know well
that the treating system destroys the
liberty of a very large number and
makes them the slaves of drink.
They would give our sons the li'.erty
of the jail, the asylum and the potter's
field. They would give our daughters
the liberty of the brothel, our child
ren the liberty of the poor house, and
our wom n the liberty to go washing.
They have been giving tie that kind ot
liberty long enough. Ie is time for a
change.
