Drunkenness Convictions in Canada

Convictions for drunkenness in Canada have, according to a parliamentary blue book issued March 31, increased in the last ten years 64 per cent. In the year ending September, 1907, there is an increase of 12½ per cent. In the Yukon, where there are saloons, there were fifty-six convictions for every ten thousand of the population. While in Prince Edward Island, a prohibition province, there was only one conviction, yet we are told that prohibition increases crime.
