Loo Marovlsh, Gandy, Nob. 7G-S The Prqliiltbii Premise Nebraska Dry" A Delusion: Do the people of Nebraska know and, under stand what the promises and pledges of the advo cates of prohibition are ? Many intelligent and well-meaning citizens, deceived and misled by the prohibition cry "Make Nebraska Dry," believe that the adoption of the prohibitory amendment will make Nebraska dry" and brinish alcoholic beverages from the state. That this belief is a delusion and unfounded in fact is proven by the official promises and statements of the organization which framed the' Nebraska prohibitory amendment and is leading the campaign for its adoption. The "Nebraska Dry Federation" in its official argument in support of the amendment filed with the Secretary of State says: "The proposed amendment does not ATTEMPT TO DEAL with the HABITS AND APPETITES of our citizens." This is an astounding statement coming from the organization which is imploring, citizens to "vote Nebraska dry" and endeavoring by every means to persuade citizens to believe that the adoption of the amendment will make Nebraska "dry.P The prohibition advocates admit that the amendment is not intended to reduce either the USE or the ABUSE of alcoholic beverages. It is not intended to keep alcoholic beverages from the drunkard nor'the boy. But it is A PROMISE that under pro hibition every person may USE or ABUSE these beverages in any degree so long as they fbllow the "MAIL-ORDER PLAN" and send their money OUTSIDE THE STATE. The statement deserves repeating: "NO ATTEMPT TO DEAL WITH THE HABITS AND APP1TITES OF OUR CITI ZENS." Can anyone be deluded into the beiief that this will make Nebraska "dry?" that it will improve conditions and foster tem perance when its dnly command is "Use all you want but buy it outside the state?" Kansas has tried this method and has suffered the penalty of increased intemperance, increased crime, juvenile delinquency, pauperism and in creased taxation. The result of this system of "mail order" and "alley joint" distribution of ;o holic beverages in prohibition states is fo.ciDly illustrated in the following extract. From the Wichita (Kan.) "Beacon" of September 20, 1916. The "Beacon" says: 1 "A young man suffering with a severe back strain called at 'the office of a Schweitcr building physician a few days ago for "treatment. While the doctor was attending him he told how he was injured. 'I work in one of the railway freight warehouses,' - he said. 'Last week we got a little behind with the unloading of, , liquor cars. We unloaded one a day that week and this left us . with three cars to unload Monday. I was hustling along with the other workmen and strained by back trying to lift a barrel of. whisky.' The workman told the physician that the railroad for which he worked brought from seven to ten carloads of beer and whisky to Wichita eyery week." These conditions are offered to Nebraska by the advo cates of prohibition, not a "dry" Nebraska but a Neb raska flooded with an unrestricted supply of alcoholic beverages for the intemperate and the minor as well as all others.
