King Country Chronicle Wednesday, Sept. 3rd, 1913 PROHIBITION ORDERS.

The effica:y of prohibition orders in the King Country was demonstrated yesterday in court when a man who had been prohibited on the pnvious court day was again before the msgistrate on charges of insobriety and breaking' the order. The Hue thai only three days had elapsed between the issuing of the order and the offence indicated that little diiiicuity existed in the obtaining of liquor even by a person upon whom the bait oi' the court had been placed. It is '.veil known that the police a.re- particularly active at the present time in endeavouring to suppress the illicit ;mine in liquor, '"bieh is undoubtedly hem;; ! carried on. hut there are many j difiieulties to be overcome. There U j no doubt extra assistance is required I by the local police in order ;o eo;e with the sly grower, end it is to be hoped the representations made by the Borough Council in the matter will have the desired eiVcct. The police district of Te Kuiti is an extremely difficult one to work, and a I constable has to be in the s-addl" pre.e- ---! tieally the whole time in order to i cope with the work of the out districts. The amount of work transacted each court day is sufficient indication of the ranee oi tin' pal ice activities in the matter of civil work alone, and it is a Canute to the police supervision that the town u- nroirefed as it is. It is. moreover, an np. n secret that a fairly large percentage of the undesirable element which low:; magistrates have s habit of sending to the country drifts to Te Kuiti. and the work of the local police is increased in consequence. The manner in which prohibition orders can be evaded is only one of the r-bje-oi mnahie features of the liquor trains of the district, and it is to be hoped the authorities will do all in their power to cope with the evils which are growing up in our midst. A right has been arranged between Sam Langford and Jock Johnson, to take place at Paris on December 20! b. The. match will be of 20 rounds, and will be staged in the Cir.iue die Paris. Ivo Whitton.

Viscount Haldane, Lord High Chancellor, has arrived in New York. In an interview he said he favoured woman suffrage, but that the movement was prejudiced by the action of its militant advocates. Home Rule, he said, was coming. Lord HBldane proceeds to Montreal where the American Bar Association meets. This will be the first meeting ever held )f judgpa of every American State to consider uniformity of judicial procedure. MrG. W. Russell voiced the fears of the majority of members on hi* aide of tke House when he mentioned on Saturday morning, during the passage of the Railway Estimates, that j he was afraid the new general ger of railways would be of a PuhV^^

Service Commissioner under anothev name. The Hon. Mr Herriea gave an assurance quite to the contrary. "The new general manager," he said, "will not be a commisioner; be will be responsible to the Minister for Railways, and the Minister for Railways will be responsible to the Houße."

"I always realised when I became a member of the Mother of Parliaments that they knew more Latin than I did,"said Mr Will Crooks, at the gathering of parliamentarians in Wellington, "and when they quoted Latin against me, no one could look as wise as I could. (Loud laughter). Once, in the humility of a man who lacks intellect, I asked a question of the Prime Minister He looked at me and said (some Latin phrase, iaudible at a small Press table at the opposite end of the room). I turned to a member near by, and asked: 'What does it mean?' He said, 'Ask him what price it starts at!' (Convulsive laughter). 1 said, 'I don't really think it is a horse.' (Laughter). I believe I have the credit of Deing the only man in the Empire who owned up that he did't know Latin. (Laughter). 1 got up, and said: 'Mr Speaker, the whole country knows, this House knows and the right hon. gentleman ought to have known, that I don't understand Latin. If you will be good enough to nut it into Whitechapel English, of which I am a utlt master—(laughter) -1 would understand.' "
