What Prohibition is Doing In Prince Edward Island.
From the ‘Charlottetown Guardian,’ an independant daily paper published in the capital city of Prince Edward Island, is taken the following ;—“We have better hotels, more prosperous scores, better side walks, steadier employment for labour at better wagts, m >re of order, content, peace and prosperity than we ever had in the days of free rum or liquor license. To most people these are good things. Prohibition in Charlottetown has reduced the number of arrests for drunkenness to less than one fifth of the number arrested in the days of License. There must be something wrong with the brain cortex of any man who cannot see 'hat this is a good thing.”
New Zealand, which is almost en tirely under License, has nearly eleven times as mgny prisoners pro rata as Prince Edward Island. Even allowing for the fact that in the Prohibition area there are no large centres, the contrast will not be a pleasing one to New Zealand readers.
