"That is like the foolish law forbidding the possession of firearms...."

   "There is no wisdom in forbidding the making of submarines. Law-abiding nations woud obey the order; criminals would secretly build. That is like the foolish law forbidding the possession of firearms. The honest man obeys and is at the mercy of the criminal, who carries his weapons regardless of the law."--The Washington Times, Washington, [D.C.] Friday Evening, January 17, 1919. Number 11,046.
