Suloons ax Dead as the Stage Conch "Prohibition is not an aet but process," says Mr. Wilson Alidgley, iv his observations of the working' of the Prohibition law dur-ug the thousands of miles he travelled in the Eastern and Middle West Stites of America. "Dry ndvocates do not expect to secure the full cifects of Prohibition before from 10 to 0 years."
Ar. Midgley concludes:—
"The strongest ease for Probibition to-day is that it helps produetion. Americans believe in a bigger output und better business with something like religious zeal. Tt the Ark of their Covenant, and whether they are right or wrong in belief the fact that they are convinced that Prohibition will help it along binds millions of Americans 10 it who, from their personal point ut view, Would have no enthusiasm, "Against them there is nobody who dare say a word for the return to conditions ax they used to be. The saloon is ax dead as the stage coach. 'Time and the odds seem to be on the side of the drys; and when there is added to that' thei combination of rel zeal and business interest, the ising tide of Prohibition looks irresistible."
