A FINAL WORD TO WOMEN. COMMONSENSE VERSUS SENTIMENT. LET THE JUDGE DELIVER JUDGMENT. The Prohibition Party has made the most of the sentimental appeal at its disposal in order to induce you to rote for the placing of ninety-nine good and sober citizens under a Prohibition Order because the hundredth individual drinks to excess. They have told you that women are being robbed of their virtue* that young girls are. being ruined that homes are being broken up; that'young lads are being made drunk; that little children are being cruelly treated because there is in the world such a thing as alcohol. They invite you to ask the Police, the Magistrate, the Doctors, and the Salvation Army about these things. You have no opportunity of asking them, but if you did ask them they would tell you that alcohol is not the reason why women lose their virtue; why young girls are ruined; why homes are broken up, and why little children are cruelly treated. They will tell you that the 1 per cent, of the community that uses liquor to excess is shepherded by the law and restrained, already, to the utmost limits of th« law's capabilities. ° They appeal to you to protect your sons against temptation. So lons as there is a world there will be temptations. s Let us quote one witness. The Hon. A. L. Herdman, Attorney-General (he has since become a Judge of the-Supreme Court), speakine in Parlia ment in July, 1916, said:— My belief is that if you want to create true temperance in this country, it is not by means of the legislation we have on the Statute Book at the present time. In my opinion it can only be BY BEPOB- - CONFIDENCE IN THE YOUNG PEOPLE of the community, leading them to understand that a man who uses drink to excess abuses himself—that he looks foolish when he is drunk and that drunkenness is a thing that Is not becoming a gentleman. TEAOH HIM; TBUST HIM; ENCOURAGE HIM TO BE SELF-RELIANT; POINT OUT TO HIM THAT HE OUGHT TO BE A MAN STBONG ENOUGH TO BESIST TEMPTATION. If you are not going on act on that principle you will have a weak nation; but if you act upon a principle which forces young men to rely upon themselves and to resist temptation, and enables them to distinguish right from wrong I am certain you will have a country of strong and virile people.
