DICTIONARY Second Edition I
REPORT ON TEMPERANCE AND PUBLIC MORALS
(Continued from page four)
We need to be observant of conditions and keep ourselves informed
concerning the effect of alcoholic liquors upon the drivers of auto
mobiles. It has been known, of course, and has been demonstrated
that alcohol increases the time in which reaction to observation oc
curs. It reduces efficiency. It has been been shown by tests that the
efficiency of stenographers is diminished by even slight drinking of
alcohol, and that twenty-five to fifty per cent more errors occur in
the same stenographer’s work when under the slightest influence of
alcohol. Similar results have been obtained by intelligence tests show
ing reduced mental activity resulting from alcoholic drinks. Tests
have shown that the control of vision is quickly affected by alcoholics.
Slight influence of liquor causes what is called “tunnel vision” and
experiments demonstrate that 11.8 per cent of the control of lateral
vision is lost by one who has drunk only beer and little of that. This
accounts for many automobile crashes—the failure to quickly see an
object approaching from the side. Moreover the time required for re
action from muscles to mental impulse is increased by the influence
of alcohol. With this there goes the well known sense of superiority
which one feels when apparently warmed up by alcohol in the system.
We are suffering four thousand deaths a year from drunken
driving and multiplied thousands of injuries. The Monday papers are
regularly a chronicle of deaths and disasters arising from automobile
use and liquor abuse. The public, whether it believes in temperance
and prohibition or not, must for its own protection enact and enforce
more rigid regulations concerning drunken driving. Drivers’ permits
are revoked for conviction of such an offense. This in many cases
causes the greatest suffering and distress, but it is one of the most
wholesome laws we have enacted. It should be strictly enforced. The
matter of ascertaining whether a driver is under the influence of li
quor should have consideration that would probably result in a system
they have in some European countries where an examination of the
blood of the driver involved in an accident is instantly made, because
such an examination will disclose the presence of the slightest degree
of intoxication which other means may be insufficient to detect. Jail
sentences must be used. In some respects it is a greater crime to
drunkenly drive an automobile toward unsuspecting and innocent peo
ple in another car than it would be to shoot at them. A car has
thousands of chances of injuring or killing them where the bullet has
one. The matter of jail punishment for such an offense needs the
most serious consideration by those who value their own lives and hu
man safety. It may become necessary and proper to brand with a con
spicuous emblem the cars of those who have caused injuries by crim
inal carelessness. Indeed, if the present tendency is not halted, an
outraged people may yet tattoo some emblem upon those who reckless
ly disregard human safety in their use of automobiles while under
the influence of intoxicating liquor.
The present act prohibits the licensed stores to sell liquor “to any
person who has been convicted of public drunkenness or of driving
any motor vehicle while under the influence of intoxicating liquor or
has been convicted of any crime wherein the court or judge shall find
as a fact that the person committed said crime or aided or abetted in
the commission thereof as a result of the influence of intoxicating
liquor (within one year of such conviction), or to any person known to

be a habitual drunkard.” That was the language in Chapter 49 of the
Public Laws of 1937, ratified February 22nd, but before the Legisla
ture had adjourned it amended that act by Chapter 411, on March
23rd, by inserting the word “knowingly’’ before the prohibition to sell
to such persons. It will be observed that this makes the provision
hard to enforce. It would make conviction of the store clerk very dif
ficult. However, such a limitation on sales should be enforced and
every opportunity of knowledge given to the liquor clerks and they
should be held to the strictest accountability in respect to such mat
ters.
The question arises, if it is unlawful to sell liquor to such people
why should it not be unlawful to sell gasoline to them, and why should
not filling station operatives be likewise punished if they sell gas to
a person under the influence of intoxicating liquor? Their offense
against humanity is similar to that of a man who hands ammunition
to an assassin with a deadly weapon setting out to assault or destroy
some person.
We shall never make the highways of North Carolina safe for our
people unless we quit piddling about the matter of drunken driving
and set ourselves to preserve human life against intoxicated drivers
with the same severity with which we pursue persons who injure or
destroy human safety by other deadly means.
The moral side of this whole matter must be insistently presented
to our people. Some have said that the Bible is a good book on tem
perance but a poor book for prohibition. We challenge the statement.
Nadab and Abihu were evidently stricken dead at the altar of God's
temple because they approached it while intoxicated. The context
evidences this and declares that priests shall totally abstain from
liquor (Leviticus 10:1-11). The good book further declares that wine
and strong drink are not for kings (Proverbs 31:4). We are told in
Revelation 1:6, and elsewhere, that in the present Christian dispensa
tion all Christians have been made kings and priests unto God. The
only proper position for such people to take is that of total abstinence
from alcoholic beverages. Such a course has the warrant of scripture
and should also be prompted by the well known fact that the ingestion
of alcoholic liquor tears down moral inhibitions and that a vast ma
jority of crime and wrong is perpetrated by those who have imbibed
alcoholic beverages. Paul’s prescription of a little wine for medicinal
purposes cannot overthrow his denunciation of drunkards as unfit for
and denied entrance to the Kingdom of God. Romans 13:13; I. Cor
inthians 6:10; Gallatians 5:2.
Possibly a proper program for us for the future would be that
we should continuously pray and educate and agitate and legislate
and co-operate with the law enforcement authorities and with other
people opposed to liquor. Let us not fail to pray and educate and
then follow these with courageous agitation, legislation and co-opera
lion. Such an entire program consistently pursued will yet give us a
better state in which to dwell and a better one to leave to our poster
ity.
