"DOWN GLASSES 1"—A NATIONAL CAMPAIGN.
[To THS Eorros OF TUB " S:ECTATOR-1 Sur,—After the vigorous appeals which were made in your columns some time ago in favour of "Down Glasses" and prohibition during the war and for six months afterwards, I hope that you will give your hearty support to the National Campaign which is being carried on to secure this result. All over sixteen years of age who wish to sign the petition are begged not to delay, as the Campaign is to be closed on July 25th. Forms can be obtained at 11 Tothill Street, West- minster. England must not be bohindhand. The wave of prohibition which has rolled over Canada from the Atlantic to the Pacifist is simply marvellous. "It isn't the crank who is putting the liquor saloon out of business ; it's the business man, the railroad man, the banker, the lawyer, the merchant, the worker, the men who have to depend on some one else for efficiency of important work." Of course people will say that "prohibition will not prohibit." In Winnipeg the Hudson Bay Company continued the sale after the Act was passed, and at once
the Attorney-General confiscated every drop of liquor in their store. We must have equally strong officers here in England when prohibition comes into effect. —I am, Sir, &o., W. W. Wu-LEW= •
