PROHIBITION IN NEW ZEALAND.
OUR LEGISLATION CRITICISED
Melbourne. Nev. 9,
The “Herald,” commenting cn the New Zealand prohibition movement, says that the absolute closing of the bars would be a good thing there is little doubt, but useless legislation in advance of public opinion would involve grave social evil if prohibitionists had their way. Let prohibitionists convert the rest of the people if they can. hut, if they cannot, the imposition of their idea! becomes social tyranny, sure to lie bitterly resented and provoke a reaction which in the long run would be fatal to progress.
