Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Curse of Rum, or the Invincible Crusade Against Intoxicating Drink License is not liberty, nor is liberty license; but one in direct opposition to the other. Liberty brings peace, prosperity, contentment, happiness, freedom and light. License is the mother of many evils; the parent of poverty, prosti tution, darkness and crime. The great question of the present day is, which shall rule - liberty and light, or license and crime? One or the other must be driven from the country. Which shall it be? There must be no compromise, no high license. Government should not, for revenue, mortgage the health and morals of the people; neither should it become partner in a business that is the chief corner-stone and foundation of universal crime. Give us light and peace. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
