PROHIBITION IN AMERICA.
SALOONS AND SPIRITS GONE FOR • ALL TIME. MR. T. M. WILFORD’S VEWR , Wellington, August 16. Asked his opinion as to prohibition. ?Jr. T. M. Wilford, M.P., who returned by the Marama from 'Frisco to-day, i said it was too soon to judge whether ; it would be effective, but from what he ! had seen he had come to three conelui'sions: (1) That the real effect of proj hibit on will not be seen until private 1 stores of liquor are used up: (2) that saloons and spirits have gone for all time; (3) that light wines and light beers will eventually be permitted. One curious effect was that u dry” cases, of which 4000 were awaiting trial in ’Frisco alone, were blocking judicial business. America had not enough judges to cope with the work.
