'They find their homes invaded:' their' suit cases opened: their automobiles stopped in the high—ways, and citizens shot down in colo. blooc. Even a U-. S.A. Senator was shot in Washington by a Prohibition Agent.- There is no longer any right .of castle,-nothing is any longer sacred to Prohibition agents. In. a country that boasts of its liberty it is anomalous to find it destroying most of our liberty. i y, -.Volstead ism has ushered in an uttef''disregard'of law, and order under the mockery of lew enforcement. , We frittered millions and milliono of dollars only to-find more and more drinking and more and more drinkers. " ;/'■ ' ' ' '7-,. 7 Prohibition is upon .our backs like an incubus, breeding deceit, dishonesty and chicanery. .The advocates ®f• Prohibition are never satisfied with appropriations, and are constantly, Q.ail.ing upon, Congress to appropriate more, in a hopeless attempt to make both land, and sea dry. - As a Member of Congress I' oppose wholesale appropriations for Prohibition enforcements. We have given them almost 25 million dollars this past year (£51000,000 sterling) but it is only a rope of sand. Each year the Prohibitionists want more;and more; they are insatiate'as the grave. ‘lhe: U. S.:A. :.is paying a terrible price for Prohibition; it is hoped that New Zealand will not pay such a price. Temperance, yes, but Prohibition never. Only by the : slow,process of education and moral suasion can any country hope to be temperate.
