A HOWLING SUCCESS
Prohibition is a howling success
—howling from the windswept
reaches of Sandy Hook to the feet
of the Statue of Liberty; screeching
from the Golden Gate; yelling wan
tonly along the forty-ninth paral
lel; shouting from the wooded coves
of Puget Sound; vociferating from
the Mexican border line and in
anely hallooing from a tatl tower
somewhere down-street in Spokane.
Everything is lovely— at least with
those who draw pay from the peo
ple. Upon the word of Prohibition
Commissioner Haynes, who blew
through here a few days ago, the
thing's done. The taste for liquor
has been downed; everyone is con
verted and a personally conducted
millenium is here or hereabouts.
Boruuni was right. Most of us like
to be fooled.
Down in Texas an average of
three men were killed daily during
last year; along the Atlantic sea
board a militant navy of impress
ive proportions is playing hide-and
seek; a deluge is pouring across
the border lines north and south
and an alarming disrespect for all
law has been engendered every
where.
Let us admit, for sake of argu
ment, that liquor is bad for the
human race. Then let us admit, if
we are fond of the truth, that ly
ing, deceit, disrespect for law and
connivance at law-’s infraction are
infinitely worse. Where do we ar
rive? At the indisputable conclu
sion that prohibition has made
more criminals than any law ever
passed and has been the most
costly, most utterly ineffective
statute ever placed upoiuhe books,
here or anywhere else. Can any
thoughtful roan dec it? We think
not! Prohibition is ultimate fan
aticism.—Mining Truth, Spokane.
Memoir No. 132 of the Geological
Survey of Canada, which has just
been issued, greats exhaustively of
the “Geology and Ore Deposits of,
Salmon River District, British Col-1
umbia,” by S.J. Schofield and G.j
Hanson. Contents consist of intro- j
duction and seven chapters as fol-r
low s: No. 1, general character of1
district; Mo. 2, general geology: No. J
3, geological history; No. 4, struc
tural geology: No. 5, economic ge
ology; No. 6, summary and conclu
sions; No. 7, ore deposits of British
Columbia, by S. J. Schofield. The
work is accompanied by an exten
sive index, several interesting illus
trations and a geological map. In
view of the great interest aroused'
in the district by the wonderful
record of the premier mine, great
. est dividend payer in 1922, the
work will doubtless be in great de
! mand. Copies may be obtained of
| the public printer, Ottawa.
