Alberta Votes for Prohibition

ALBERTA, Canada, passed prohibition July 21 by a majority of two to one. One of the most encouraging things of the present time is the strong sentiment growing up everywhere in favor of the prohibition of the liquor traffic. As is often charged by the liquor dealer, prohibition may not completely prohibit anywhere; but nevertheless, this world is in a much better condition because of the prohibition work that has been done than it would have been without it. Indeed, who can measure the awful conditions of debauchery that the world would have been in by this time had it not been for the heroic efforts of the temperance forces to throttle the evils of the liquor business!
