High License and Prohibition

By Editor

The California Prohibitionist says:—

“Adherents of high license admit that it incites to illicit selling. But they say this can be prevented by the earnest endeavor of honest officials. True, but would not the same amount of honest endeavor wholly prevent the sale, and so make prohibition prohibit?”

The question is pertinent and we would like to hear it answered by some ardent advocate of high license.
