The time is coming when the

question of transportation in lieu of banishment of criminals will have to be seriously considered

He has been doing that between acts so to speak. That is to say he was interviewed by one of the best American papers we know of, and whilst disclaiming any intention to give an opinion on prohibition, gave on drink in no uncertain

fashion. The words of a success- ful man are not necessarily the omega of a thing, but they do command some attention. Listen then to the great Harry on drink, and if you be so inclined read, mark, learn and inwardly digest them:-
