handle is hein.beal/revagia0001 and id is 1 raw text is: THE REVOLT AGAINST PROHIBITION An address, delivered in the House of Representatives, Washington on February 7, 1930 by JAMES M. BECK Member of Congress from First Pennsylvania District Former United States Solicitor General Republics abound in civilians who believe that the laws make the city; that grave modifications of the policy and modes of living may be voted in or out, and that any measure, though it were absurd, may be imposed on a people, if only you can get sufficient votes to make it a law. But the wise know that the foolish legislation is a rope of sand, which perishes in the twisting; that the state must follow, and not lead, the character and prog- ress of the citizen.-Emerson. Reprinted for distribution by Association Against the Prohibition . Amendment, Inc. 21 East Fortieth Street, New York City Reproduction by Permission of Buffalo & Erie County Public Library Buffalo, NY
