This is the more incumbent on free and independent citizens because public men and what are so comically styled "responsible" statesmen, in the race of democratic competition, are selling themselves to any organised body of voters. No goodness in motive, no zeal in philanthropy or piety, no picture of the horrors of alcoholism, no statistics of national loss and misery, no accumulation of pseudo -scientific authority, should blind us to the monstrous wrongfulness of any attempt to suppress alco...hol by law. It is in any form an anti- social tyranny, degrading alike to the cause of morality and religion. It matters not that many worthy men and women trace most of our vices or sufferings to the abuse of alcohol i it matters not that some hysterical men THE VETO ON DRINK 199 and women find evil in the careful use of alcohol ; it matters not that in any particular spot they may be a majority. So long as an immense body of citizens of all orders and sorts choose to use alcohol, think it right to do so, and cannot be shown to offend their neighbours whilst doing so with moderation, it would be tyrannical to punish or forbid the consump- tion of any food which an orderly adult thinks it desirable and right to take.
