NO LICENSE.
By Telegraph —Press Association. WELLINGTON, May Si. Speaking, to-day, at a dinner tendered by the New Zealand Alliance to Mr Race, the Canadian Exhibition Commissioner, the Hon. G. Fowlds, Minister for Education, said that the testimonial recently signed by the business people at Ashburton left no doubt that prohibition was a great success there. During the last two or three weeks he had visited Invcrcargill, where the no license system had been interfered with by the opening of beer depots on the boundary of the district. This was never meant to be, and some steps should be taken to remove the affront to the people there. This notwithstanding there was unusual testimony that the operations of no license were benefic ial to the town. Business had improved, and even the people who were opposed to no license admitted that Invercargill was now a much cleaner place. The general tendency of the whole colony was to go forward, not back.
