THE SOGIAE TYRANT Young People Degraded „„„ - mam —Ho»a»3SMi anrgaaiaßiia and ■ Bootleg Hi Mr. Crosby is a well-known Barrister-at-Law, AN OPEN LETTER TO THE ELECTORS OF NEW ZEALAND♦ Mr. Oscar T. Crosby, Metropolitan Club, Washington, D.G. Washington, D.C., April 14th, 1925. The prevailing opinion runs very strongly against the Social tyranny exemplified in the Volstead Act. My own observation leads me to believe that drinking has been increased amongst young people of both sexes in the classes having money enough to pay high prices for bootlegged liquors. I would be firmly opposed to the Volstead Act even if it were enforced with ten times more success than it has yet attained ; its maximum success would be connected with a maximum curtailment of individual character and development. Drunkenness - not drinking - should be the object of legislation if any restraint whatever is to be applied by law to our personal drinking habits. Injury to others should be shown to justify any infringement of liberty in this respect. In the Clubs and the homes known to me, offering of gin cocktails is more general, I think, than in pre-prohibition days, and drinking by young girls is notably more prevalent. The effects of bootlegging traffic in the Virginia country around my home are deplorable .v* Sudden affluence gained by incompetents of both races produces dissatisfaction amopg the industrious poor and engenders disrespect for law. ,C • My own objections /to prohibition as social tyranny would be but little modified by moye' aucc©ss^i‘eofQr cement. Yours very truly, . ..VJ.

When eggs are dear, just go to the cupboard and take out some preserved ones. As good as fresh if you use Sharland’s “ Moa ” Brand Egg Preservative.—Advt,
