Wjiso temperance propaganda probably would increase tlic number of total abstainers, and nobody would complain of that. For a man may be a total abstainer 'and yet greatly dislike and stoutly oppose the prohibition idea. Thousands of total abstainers, and hundreds of thousands of temperate people, actually do. The 430,000 people who voted against prohibition did not vote as they did just because they love beer and cannot live without it, but because they dislike prohibition. They believe in temperance — an overwhelming majority of them are sonsiblo and temperate—-but they know that prohibition and temperance have nothing ,to do with each other, and are related to each other only as opposites.—Christchurch “Press.”
