The “Detroit Free Press” has for many years been an ardent supporter of Prohibition:— “Anybody who has the price, and cares to risk issanity or death can get all the liquor he wants.” “Judges ascend the bench after drinking bouts to try other men for what they themselves have just been doing.” “Since Prohibition went into ‘effect/ a professn criminal class numbering tens of thousands, possibly hundreds of thousands, has sprung up and spread throughout the country. . . Tfiey are encouraged, coddled, and enriched by the most respectable portions of society.” ‘‘lt is a sad, depressing, and disappointing fact that the 18th Amendment (Prohibition) has brought no blessing to the youth of America. It is a fair contention that, on the contrary, it has brought a CURSE.” “Conditions were never so bad as they are to-day and there is no light ahead. Our youth is being mined.” “Reluctantly this newspaper arrives at the conviction that the 18 th Amendment (Prohibition) was a fearful error.” Electors of New Zealand\ profit by the experience of others .
