N.Z. AND PROHIBITION.
AN AUSTRALIAN VIEWPOINT. A WARNING TO PROHIBITIONISTS. Pres* Association.—Telegraph.—Copyright. Received November 9, 8.5 a.m. SYDNEY, November 9, The Herald, commenting on New Zetland's prohibition movement says the absolute closing of bars would be a good thing. Of that there is, perhaps, little doubt, but it is useless for legislation to go in advance of public opinion ; and it would involve a grave social evil ifUtha Prohibitionists had their way. Let the Prohibitionists cpnvert the rest of tho people if they can, but if it cannot the imposition of their ideal becomes social tyranny, and is sure. to be bitterly resented and to provoke a reaction which. in the long run would be fatal to progress.
