To the Editor of the CRIMSON:

As much as I abhor giving any publicity whatsoever to that sterling citizen, Mr. Delcevare King, I should like to bring out one point which seems to have been overlooked in all these discussions over that admirable word "scofflaw", Mr. King's great claim to fame.

In my mind, Prohibition is one of those unfortunate statutes which has tended to turn this country into a law-breaking rather than a law-abiding land. Moreover, those narrow-minded persons who refuse to see both sides of this question, instead of being the country's greatest patriots, as they delight in terming themselves, are merely hopelessly trying to have enforced without limitation a decree which has caused more law-abiding citizens to become, legally, criminals, and more criminals, actually, to become wealthy and influential men than any other law in the history of the country, to put it mildly.

A scofflaw, may not be at heart a law breaker: it may be that he is a person who will not give his support to a law which makes honest men criminals and which tends to disrupt national peace. It is not that I support those who scoff at prohibition: it is, rather, that I have no sympathy for those reforming zealots who merely antagonize men of a wider outlook and deeper perspective by looking, as Kipling puts it, "too good" and talking "too wise".
