For more than half a century the political, social, educational and economic aspects of prohibition have been discussed by the press, pulpit, lecture platform and the people themselves until 33 states, by their own votes at the polls, voted out the liquor traffic and became prohibition states. This, of course, occurred before the Constitutional Amendment. This ought to be convincing enough that the majority of the people in the country really want the legalized liquor traffic to go and in the two years of prohibition reports come in from all our big cities of its great benefit. The homes for delinquent, that cared for dependent children, came from families largely where the wages went for strong drink instead of food. Now our social workers find the number of inmates greatly reduced. Our state and federal officers have been centering their attention on Hampton the past week and were successful in capturing two parties that were bringing liquor from Massachusetts into New Hampshire. It would seem that it would be difficult to get truck drivers to handle anything to which such a severe penalty is attached.
