PROHIBITION.
MAUDE ROYDEN’S DOUBTS. - AUCKLAND, Thursday. , “I cannot say whether the advantages are greater than the disadvantages or vice versa,” said Miss Maude Royden last evening, when a member of the audience she was addressing asked her whether she favoured prohibition. Miss Royden referred to (he experiment of prohibition in the United States, and said that as a result of it the whole level of the working class life had undoubtedly been raised. On the other hand, the graft and corruption were appalling, and" the violation of the law was a very serious thing. “I think we should give the United States a generation, say another 30 years, to see if prohibition can be 'put over,’ as they say,” added Miss Royden.
