Prohibition as the Only Remedy
By Editor
The New York Observer's special correspondent, who has been investigating the question, "Does prohibition prohibit?" in Kansas and Iowa, arrives at the following conclusion, as stated in the Observer of June 20:— "When I undertook my mission, I had, in common with many others, not a few doubts and misgivings as to the wisdom and practicability of the prohibitory law in its application to the State. But my observations and experiences in Kansas and Iowa have banished wholly and forever all such doubts and misgivings. I am fully and firmly persuaded that prohibition, absolute and universal, is the only ground upon which the battle against the evil can be waged with any promise or surety of real and true success." This of course precludes the idea of any such compromising measures as "Sunday closing," "high license," etc., and it is the only consistent position for the true prohibitionist.
