Excerpt from A History of the First Decade of the Department of Scientific Temperance Instruction in Schools and Colleges, of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union: In Three Parts; Part I. History of the First Decade; Part II. Biennial Report for the United States; Part III. Work in Other Lands

Blot from the great mass of human ill-dcmg and suffering the con sequences of the use of alcoholic liquors and other narcotics and some thing like the millennium would remain.

But in a Republic such blotting must be voluntary with a majority of the people before it can be compulsory, because a government of the people cannot compel majorities. Majorities are the law-making power that must first be convinced that alcohol and kindred narcotics are by nature outlaws, before they will outlaw them. As long as a majority of the voters believe in and want to drink alcoholic liquors, they will not vote to forbid their sale.
