There’s your body—you’ve tenderly cared for it all through its life—suppose you try to kill it— to commit suicide. IF YOU SUCCEED BILLY SUNDAY SAYS YOU’LL GO TO HELL! IF YOU FAIL, THE LAW SAYS YOU’LL GO TO JAIL! But suppose tomorrow morning the conscription officer should call on you to go to war, with the chances that your precious body would be shot to pieces in the trenches. And suppose you were to say to the conscription officer: “Go away, mister, I don’t believe in war—l’m for peace!” It wouldn’t matter WHAT you believed about war—you’d go to the front! What you DARED not do to your OWN body, the state has a RIGHT to do, because in a democracy, the chief consideration is not the individual but the society, or the state. But you wouldn’t wait to have the conscription officer COMPEL you to go to war,—you’d go because—and now read this carefully— because you want to do all you can “to make the world safe for DEMOCRACY!” You Are Ready To Sacrifice, that OTHERS May Be Blessed. That’s why we are asking you to surrender your “personal liberty” in regard to the liquor ques tion. We want you to consider this matter from the standpoint of a citizen whose chief concern is for the welfare of ALL the people. If you will look at this question in the broadest fashion possible, there’ll be no doubt where you’ll stand. If you believe that the traffic in Alcohol does more harm than good—HELP STOP IT!
