Mumerous Arguments for Such Action Presented. Because the liquor traffic is na lioual curse. Because the nation is a great Union the interests of whose citizens are one. Because we want every part of our nation clean and free from every moral wrong. We would not be satisfied If slavery, polygamy or opium traffic were tole rated in any one of our states. In order to put our federal govern ment out of the liquor business. In order that the federal govern ment may cease to nullify prohibitory laws. In order that local and state prohi bition may become really effective. The liquor traffic is a constitutional disease and therefore demands a con stitutional remedy. The national government has mort affective machinery for the enforce ment of prohibition than has anj state government. Because the liquor traffic Is antago nistie to the very purpose of our gov ernment and detrimental to the best Interests of all of our people. Because we are a great democracy where majorities rule and the ma jority of our people desire National Prohibition. What sixteen states outlawed ai morally wrong cannot be good for the people of the other thirty-two state:: Because the United States supreme court has declared that no man has a right to (sell liquor, the federal gov ernment should not sell to men a privilege to do what they have no right to do. The supreme object and purpose of our federal government is to preserve the public morals, public peace and I'ubllc health. The liquor traffic de stroys all three, hence should be for bidden by the government. Our nation's best capital is tlie strength and virtue of her manhooi «nd womanhood and the liquor traffic Is robbing us of this. Our example to the other nations of the world, who look to us for Ideals of i ivllizatioii, should lead us, as a nation, to prohibit this debauching traffic that disgraces us at home and humiliates us abroad.—A.
