PROHIBITION.
AX AUSTRALIAN' OPINION*. By Cable—Press Association—Copyright. Sydney. November fl. The Herald, commenting on the New Zealand Prohibition movement savs: That the absolute closing of the bars would be a good thing there is but little doubt, but it is Useless if legislation advances ahead of public opinion, and it I would involve a grave social evil if the Prohibitionists had their way. Let the Prohibitionists convert the rest of the people if they can. but if they cannot the impo-ition of their ideal becomes social tyranny, -iirr to be bitterly resented and provoke a reaction which in the long run will be fatal to progress.
