ARTICLES ON. PROHIBIITION
,PAI'ER "NO. 7
In our last ,paper .we gave,'some' of
our views against ,.prphibitign ' from
what we called •a selfish standpoint;
because they were our objections, in
so far as prohibition affected our per-
sonal liberty. This week, we will en-
deavor to show some of the harm that
prohibition. produces. '
In the first place, prohibition pro-
duces a contempt for. law. No man,
worthy of thename- of man, will per-
mit an association composed of what
he considers ignorant, misguided, fa-
natical people, to dictate to him
what he is to eat or drink. Human
nature is :.naturally adverse to it And
you cannot change human nature to
fit in with any sumptuary law you
may wish to put on. the statute book.
The Iate Dean Farrar, a man greatly
beloved and admired by all who knew
him, was a total abstainer, as an ex-
ample to his weaker brother, But he
never would support prahibitory leg-
islation of any kind, because, as he
put it, thereis something, an indefin-
able something, in human' nature, that
the forbidding of a thing may, and
very frequently does, produce an ap-
petite for the very thing forbidden,
that may have never before existed.
We purpose to write somewhat terse-
ly and confine ourselves to state-
ment of facts, so we will not elabor-
ate on this point. Argument may be
met with argument, and ,supposition
with suppositious, but 'facts' are incon-
trovertible. And we submit that this
feature of prohibition is an incontro-
vertible fact.
We object to prohibition, because
lowers the standard of character where
men come into contact with it. "-As
we quoted previously from Sir Rich-
ard Cartwright, who wrote deliberate-
ly, that "not a few of the greatest
scoundrels I have known, and my ex-
perience has been extensive, have been
very ardent temperance advocates."
Why this should be is not hard to
seek. Prohibition. of alcoholic bever-
ages is unnatural, unscriptural and
therefore its influence cannot be good
It 'turns men into sneaks,'hypocrites.
liars and even perjurers.. Many would
be surprised if they were told it even
acts injuriously on the purity of the
life. We will furnish statistics, at a
later date to prove this. Excess in
drinking is not the only sin men and
women commit although to listen to
some sermons, one would be tempted,
to think so.,
We object to prohibition, •of the
kind the Scott Act would introduce
in the County, of Huron, because itis
so manifestedly unfair. Why in Can-
ada should we have class legislation?
Why should we have a law that af-
fects the poor man, and does not af-
fect .the rich, ,nort even the moderate -
iv well-to-do? • This injustice alone
?should cause every=poormangy to vote
against it. one would think. Why
should Smith, because by accident, he
has money enough to buy a case od
whiskey, have all he: wants to drink,
and Jones because he by acciderigcan
only; afford to 'buy aglass ata tkue,
'de 'deprived' oft
bert i ? Does the
p;posses-
sion. of the means render Smith a per-
son more worthy of trust ,than Jones,
does" it render Smith less likely .. to
abuse the ' use of whiskey, than •jiones,
or does the possession of .moaey,,,ren.

Consi red? a ,state.fact,,:R►hen
we brand the:Scott•_,Act 44,., this, re-
gard, a,s in •infamy, .and, an,insult to all
those who do. not happen tta possess
a certain amount of, money. If• it is
wrong for Jones to buy arglass,.it.is
14 titres more wrong -.•for Smith to
buy a bottle; an the-,assamption:. that
one,,bettle equals 14, drinks. .
We object to prohibition under the
guise of Scott Act, because it •irives
dr':inking alcoholic beverages.out of the
hotel into the hbme. There's no get-,
ting out, of it. This again in an in-
controvertible fact. It removes the
drinking £ront, the hotel to the home,
One would think that all those dean
people who are shouting "Save the
boy" would shrink with horror from
the bare idea of doing anything that
'would introduce, IN ANY DEGREE,

and the girls are supposed to 'ive.
