NOW IS YOUR OPPORTUNITY TO SECURE A HIGHCLASS SUIT AT A REASONABLE FIGURE. BOX 24. TE AWAMUTU. 'PHONE 44. Public Notice. The Solicitor-General of United States in a speech to the Convention of the American Law Associatioa last September:— "The streets of our cities, once reasonably secure from crimes of violence, have norv become the field of operations for the footpad and highwayman. The days of Dick Turpin and Jack Shephard have returned. "In Chicago alone 5,000 automobiles were stolen in a single year. Once murder was an infrequent and abnormal crime. To-day in our large cities it is of almost daily occurrence. "It has been estimated that the annual profits from violations of the prohibition laws have reached $300,000,000. Men who thus violate these laws for sordid gain are not likely to obey other laws, and the respect for law among all classes steadily diminishes as our people become familiar with and tolerant to wholesale criminality. Whether the moral and economic results of prohibition overbalance this rising wave of crime, time will tell." The crime wave that followed upon the introduction of prohibition in America has completely baffled the authorities. Murders, riots, robberies, lynchings, knifings, and hold-ups are every-day affairs throughout the country. No, prohibition didn't cause these things, perhaps—but it has not prevented them. And we haven't got them—yet—in New Zealand. But prohibition would provide the right conditions and would bring us the right aort of people to raise a good crop of crime! Continuance!
