Oliver M'Ewan, G.C.T. of Illinois, U.S.A., in which ho said: “Do not let your people ho misled by the fabricators who assert that Prohibition has failed here. In spite of Jawbreakers, there is abundant evidence of the effects for good that Prohibition is having on the lilc of the nation. Never has there been such prosperity as there is to-day; never have _ the banks been so prosperous ; no longer is the manfacturo and sale of liquor legalised, and surely that is a tremendous triumph. Our gaols” are almost empty, and the judges are almost classed as unemployed.’ The programme arranged was “sacred night and commemoration service” for the brave lads who fell in October, four years ago.
