Senator BRUSHES. Begot surrounds, abuses of old hall, and accelerated to maturity by necessities economic and enthusiasm uncalculating of world war, and by use prodigal of money and of threats political by league of Against-Hall, prohibition national entered effect legal upwards does of six years, but truth can to be this which, unless a highly qualified degree, never _ has entered practical effect all appetite for drink, that to have to be one main great impulse human mass to be since then Jesus in Grey hair to show ahead its glory, to use word st. Juan, to turn water six water pote in wine, to have, in its extensive fight with repressive agency to fix to movement by eighteenth amendment and Volstead act, to equip another illustration truth, that neither moralistic nor statesman to always have to forget, uniforms in his the more fervid moment disinterested or abundant sensation, that man to be one creature who power to be to regulate and to improve, but to be able not to be to do above. Once, during the agitation for the abolition of the human slavery, the Brougham henry denigrated what it called "the wild and guilty fantasy that the man can carry out the characteristic in man." Wild and then guilty it is the fantasy that the energy of the federal government even can prevail totally to man of its hot clothes of the sensations, desires, and the appetites animals. Since then the tenth eighth amendment and Volstead the act became parts of the legislation of our earth the human instinct of the personal freedom, directed by a correct sense of the limits within which the natural right can be controlled by municipal ordinances, it has maintained an intact resistance to them; and nothing can be more unjustifiable than the declaration often heard that this resistance is limited a single social class one sameone. It is not continued reason why they call prohibitionists, vainly search to excite disaffection and social jealousy, the elegant social system, that it is in favor more bravely of the members of the American federation of the work. Any social class or sect is not limited. It has brought near relations of work around between bootlegger and the thousands of the most intelligent and more virtuous members of American society that does not feel not more of remorse on the violation of the act of Volstead that the free Soiler did on the violation of the law of the slave of the fugitive one, or the southern target did on annulling to ignorante black, suffrage, the federal constitution in each case on the contrary in spite of and the file whenever it mounted of the haltings for the embriaguez in all our American cities since the promulgation of the act of Volstead indicates only too much perceivably that the humblest members and less lucky people of the society they also have illicit his purveyors of the drink. Jewish the recent elocutions of rabbis, protestant bishops and ministers, and of you bark catholics has taste of cardinals Ă“Connell and Hayes, demonstrates to the existence of a sensation every greater time, uniform between the American clergy, who the absolute prohibition is not the ally but the enemy of the human morality.

This is a really short thread, all things considered. 250-odd posts in over a month. If people really cared it'd be much longer.
So we might as well finish it now.
