Excerpt from
The Cowboy Philosopher on Prohibition:
I saw a box of Armours Meat drop off an express wagon and broke every
bottle,
Prohibition has done some very good things in the road building line,
It has been the cause of more road improvement between dry and wet towns
than any other thing,
If you want good roads leading out of your town vote it wet and the surrounding
towns will fix up your roads,
Bad roads have broke more bottles of booze than the authorities,
The Prohibitionists put the bill through as a food saving device, And
it has certainly been a success, Its made food so high people cant eat
it,
The poorer people will have to go to Europe this summer to escape the
high prices over here,
It looks like we would have to have another war for things to get cheap
like they used to be during the last one,
And they still allow these Prohibitionists to eat, You know a drinking
man he dont eat much and the more he drinks the less he eats but these
Prohibitionists they just naturally ruin a meal,
Prohibitionists dispose of enough food just before speaking engagements
to feed all the starving Armenians in the world,11
The amount of time and energy consumed by Prohibitionists in speaking
if put to a legitimate business would cut everybodys average work day
down to 4 hours,
But the minute they get Prohibition they will hop on to something else
it will be Cigarettes or room and bath, or something
