(EDITOR'S NOTE: The following was written especiallv for the Daily Tar Heel.) Prohibition Is Logical Prohibition of the.liquor traf fic is the logical method of deal ing with it because of the nature of alcohol, the article in ques tion. Alcohol is a narcotic, habit-forming drug, which has a special affinity for the brain and nerves. It paralyzes first the higher brain centers having to do with reason, judgment, memory, will, and imagination, leaving the lower, or animal brain in charge. This is incap able of meeting the moral and social problems presented by civilized society. The lower EIGHT STUDENTS TAKE !

Alcohol is distinctly out of date in the twentieth cen tury. Prohibition is logical because it is economically sound. No nation can drink itself rich any more than an individual can do so. Vast sums were expended for liquor which impoverished the greater number of drinkers and their families while it en riched the few engaged in its manufacture and distribution.

Prohibition is logical because it is morally sound. Whenever a state sanctions the sale of an article which has been proved by long experience to have an ever-increasing evil effect upon the consumer and his depend enst, it violates a fundamental principle of moral law. Prohibition is logical because it is sound sociologically. Li quor affects not only the con sumer but society in general and the government itself. The Supreme Court of the United States declared many years ago: v -r-: : "' "It is urged that as the liquors are used as a beverage and the injury fol lowing them, if taken in excess, is vol untarily inflicted and is confined to the party offending, their sales should be without restrictions, the contention being, that what a man shall drink equally with what he shall eat is not properly a matter for legislation. There is in this position an assump tion of fact which does not exists that when the liquors are taken in ex cess, the injuries are confined to the party -offending. The injury, it is true, falls first upon him in his health, which the habit undermines; in ; his morals, which it weakens; and in self abasement, which it creates.

A twig, used evidently for pulling the trigger of. a .12 gauge shot gun, was found beside the body, bearing mute evidence of a suicide sometime during the afternoon, though Coroner S. A.

Olive was a resident of Godwin, North Carolina. v Out for an afternoon jaunt along the exercise paths that thread the woods lying back of the Tin Can and the intramural athletic fields, Joe Griffin, sen ior from Reidsville, discovered the body.
