The Purpose of Prohibitory Law

The object of securing a prohibitory law is not to make people temperate—not to redeem even the intemperate, but to protect the innocent from the horrible, devastating, demoralizing influence of the liquor traffic. Law does not propose to convert the sinner, but it does propose to protect society from the wicked act of the sinner.—Weekly Mirror.
