...Prohibition does not exist in Canada, outside of some of its maritime provinces and Ontario, which, however, does not lack 4% beer. Yet, the economic welfare of Canada during the last five years, as evidenced in building and other material activities, is so amazing that at times the Canadian dollar has commanded a premium over our dollar...
...With no real provocation to offer as reason, the right of free speech and free assembly, guaranteed in both the constitutions of the nation and of New Jersey, has been denied not only to strikers, but to reputable lawyers and pacific clergymen.

So there is no particularly cogent reason why any real spirit of freedom, either of thought or action, should become an integral part of the Boston cosmos...
