A Memorial for National Prohibition
IN VIEW OF THE SCIENTIFICALLY PROVED UNFAVORABLE EFFECTS OF THE USE OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES EVEN IN SMALL QUANTITIES:
AND IN VIEW, THEREFORE, OF THE COLOSSAL, PHYSICAL, MENTAL, MORAL, ECONOMIC, SOCIAL AND RACIAL EVILS WHICH THE MANUFACTURE AND SALE OF ALCOHOLIC LIQUOR ENTAIL;
AND IN VIEW OF THE INADEQUATENESS OF ALL METHODS HITHERTO EMPLOYED TO CHECK OR REGULATE THESE EVILS;
AND IN VIEW OF THE GREAT AND RAPID GROWTH OF PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE AND SENTIMENT ON THIS SUBJECT AS SHOWN BY ANTI-ALCOHOL AGITATION AND LEGISLATION THROUGH MOST OF OUR NATIONAL AREA;
THE UNDERSIGNED BELIEVES THE TIME HAS COME FOR THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO TAKE STEPS LOOKING TO THE PROHIBITION IN THE UNITED STATES OF THE MANUFACTURE, SALE, IMPORT, EXPORT, AND TRANSPORT OF ALCOHOLIC LIQUORS.
