Predicts Canada Soon Will
Follow Example.

LONDON, Feb. 9.--Not all EnglishnAen
who return from America are Infatuated
| at what most of them believe to be the
"idiocy of prohibition" But DR.. c. w.
SaIeeby, one of Britain's foremost Gu
genists and sociologists, is the first one
to get a column in any British news
paper purporting to show that prohibit
ton has not been rammed down the
throats Of America by a triding minority,
and that vast good already has been ac-
complished by the latest constitutional
amendment.
DIR. Saleeby predicts that Canada soon
will follow in the United States foot
steps and that it is high time for Eng
land to quit looking at the prohibition
movement through colored glasses.
HIGHLY PRAISES
PROHIBITION Law.
1.-THE prohibition law is being broken
in America" DIR. Saleeby admits, land
it will continue to be broken by the
froth and dregs, by the criminal rich
and the criminal poor-lfke other laws
in all countries.
''The American prohibition measure is
an exceedingly strong and thorough one;
the magnificent brains and devotion at
the command Of the AntI-Saloon league
having been applied to it, and supported
by the mass of the nation everywhere.
"That, of course, is what no one I'M
derstands here, where the obvious lie
Is sedulously spread that by some means
underlined and uncomfortable, the most
democratic, self determining and highly
educated people in the world have i'm
posed on them policy that they abomi-
nate by a chiJnera called ''pussyfoot."

BENEFICIAL EFFECTS
EXCEED HOPES.
Throughout the United States, as in
Ontario, the effects of wartime prohi-
bition have exceeded the expectations Of
its advocates, and have strengthened
public opinion, already determined, for
the final measure. That Is why the Ell.
forcement act has been made 80 extra
ordinarily strong, and by such immense
lnajorities in congress.

America Has Stood Test.

This nation has received a new bap-

America Is stronger than ever, more
militant for justice than ever. more ap-

American Indian a Mystery.

The origin of the American Indian
is a matter of dispute. Ethnological-
ly, the Indian resembles most closely
certain Mongolian and Siberian peo-
pies. 1t is, therefore, believed by most
authorities that his ancestors crossed
from Asia to Alaska and thence down
the coast of North America.
