The End and Means By James C. Kelly Enemies of the liquor trade have long proceeded on the theory that the “end justifies the means.” In other words, they have assumed the attitude that the industry which they would destroy should be made as obnoxious as possible, in order that they might enlist public sentiment in the work of destruction. Recently in a southern Indiana city which voted overwhelmingly for license, the retail liquor dealers agreed to sell no intoxicants to persons known to be in the habit of becoming intoxicated. Regardless of motives, such an arrangement was one to be commended by most civilized men. This agreement, however, w r as the basis of a vicious attack by a so-called “dry” publication of that city, which waxed indignant that the town’s poor inebriates should be deprived of liquors. While the above may be an extreme case, it is a fair sample of the tactics employed by the more rabid prohibitionists. Such an attitude has long been apparent in the attempts of fanatical “drys” to enact legislation which makes it as difficult as possible for a liquor dealer to conduct his business properly. The nation still believes that the liquor trade should be regulated and licensed. It has held to that theory since the early colonial days. States here and there may experiment with prohibition, but so they did in the middle of the last century and, with the exception of two, found it a failure. If there is a present demand for reform in the liquor trade, the question of who shall accomplish the reform is first in order.
