Why Change ?
One might travel tike ■whole world over and fail to discover a more lawabiding community than the people of New Zealand. Our hotels are well kept, their guests ■well catered for; the licensing laws so rarely infringed. Yet the Prohibition Party wish to change all this. For What? The aly-grog shop; strange and weird oonooctions that sap the mentality. The deadly drug that enslaves and ruins its victims. The road to t&.vermis indeed opens before these un- \ fartgnastes. It ia casting a slur on the morals of jfche people when a section of the community assume that a moderate drinker deteriorates in character or mentality. Search the .world over and you wall find that the foremast and strangest men of to-day are moderate in all things. ■ England Yae never a teetotal notion, yet the physique of her eons and daughters are a challenge to the world. Let us hope that the men and women voters of;New Zealand will think seriously of all they stand to lose, and refrain from voting for Prohibition—and ruin. “HONA.”
