1 '.FaCtS Versus 1
/Fallacies, 1
f =====
TACT is a real state of things. FALLACY is an appar
ently genuine but really illogical statement or argument*
NOTWITHSTANDING the FACT thz. Pennsylvania once tried
Local Option and found it a failure; and despite the FACT J | ifflf J I KVS\t*
that at each recurring session of this State's Legislature within $ I BnpSr
recent years that body has defeated Local Option bills with in
creased majorities each time, the Prohibition agitators plan to again
introduce their political FALLACY upon the coming Assembly.
Some FACTS in this connection may, therefore, be instructive
LOCAL Option means local Prohibition. Local Option does not
mean majority rule in legitimate government affairs, but an nil U||
Ul intrusion into personal rights. Upon this subject President Hadley, jt JjJj jj
o of Yale University, in his "Standards of Public Morality," wrote: v?
H «\TOT content with saying that all just government is based on £H
H g | 1 11 the consent of the governed, the enthusiastic advocates of
Clj pJj ■ 4 - 4 democracy hold that if you could only find what a majority of the
H I governed want you could easily incorporate it into law. Never was
Fj pUr N » ■ there a greater practical error. Public law, to be effective, requires
p pII much more than the majority to support it It requires general Pr
T> < | • acquiescence. To leave the minority at the mercy of the whims of
I k >IUI>JLIC the majority does not conduce to law or good government, or jus
p I m \K I*4. ticc between man and man. Even Rousseau, the leading apostle of
p I JYLOfalltV modern democracy, said: 4 A majority of the people is not the people
J and never can be. We take a majority vote simply as the best
gII . _ available means of ascertaining the real wishes of the people in I
p | AT. Hadley cases when it becomes necessary to do so.'"
\ PROPOS r too, it is interesting to note the view of the Newark j
l\ (N. J.) Sunday Call on Local Option, via.:
« n EFEAT of the Local Option bill in the Assembly by almost
\J exactly the vote we predicted, 40 to 19, may suffice to end
for a time this intrusion upon public affairs by persons of fatuous
ignorance. . . . The Assembly, representing popular opinion, •• i
was against Local Option and will always be, we trust and believe JCTTI \
Local Option is a device, which is a vice, to promote neighborhood \VlVS* cri • 1
discord and to unload upon the next town (or county) the respansi- N\ T \
bilities which belong at home. It is used by agitators for their own v\
purposes." _ r 1
THUS not only is it shown that Prohibition is a FALLACY, but \\fWWihk Ij|
the FACT that Local Option is wrong in principle. There it
no justification for one class of citizen*, who do not care for alco
holic beverages, saying that another class shall not have the privi- jf
of temperately drinking, when nearly all imbibers commit no * * ((J
H criminal or moral wrong in such indulgence. U
