C STEWART, B.C., Oct. 16. 1920 4-14 There is not the slightest doubt that in the liquor plebiscite on Oct. 20 Government-control will carry easily all over the north. Any honest man must admit that the present so- called prohibition does not and cannot prohibit either intoxication or trafficking in booze. The present Act has lowered public morals, regard for law and quality of the stuff. Supporters of the present system either do not know the results or they are not honest about it. Prohibition of th# real sort would have greater support were manufacture prohibited and the law applied to the whole country. Murder and robbery are crimes all over the country. Drinking and dealing in booze are limited crimes in this province but all right in most of the others. The law cannot prohibit anything. It can enforce punishment. But not unless public sentiment is behind it. We do not say that liquor is good for humanity as a steady diet. But men will drink with a good conscience so long as liquor is a legitimate article of manufacture. And so long as it is it can be controlled in a broad way but drinking cannot be prevented.
