The Eleventh Commandment! “Thou Shalt Not Drink!” How many more to follow ? For some thousands of years the civilized world has done very well on the .Ten Commandments. Now the Prohibitionists wish to add an Eleventh Commandment“ Thou Shalt Not Drink.” And after that? How many more will follow? For instance: Thou Shalt Not Smoke „ „ Dance „ „ „ Gamble „ „ „ Race Horses „ „ „ Wear Short Skirts » » » Laugh „ „ „ Be in any way Cheerful and Happy A Wave of “ Thou-Shalt-Not-Ism Be assured that the Destroyers of Joy will not rest with the abcomplish- , ment of Prohibition. Their aim is to have us hemmed in by a stern, hard, iron routine; to crush out all the light, happy, “froth” of life, the laughter, the freedom, the bubbling effervescence of youth; and to restrict the quiet, sane, comfortable pleasures of moderate people. It is the “froth” of life that makes this world bearable; for most of us existence is perforce humdrum and monotonous; take away our relaxations and we shall be a sombre, dismal people indeed! Already we are over-governed and over-regulated. Now our most personal liberties are threatened. Let us Hold Fast to Liberty! ■I ; v thr S'ntioiitii .('owirii of tin’ Lire list'll • Tfitd-- <>/ .V* 45
