NO-LICENSE
[;To the Editor G
Sir, —At tho no-license meeting on the street-, on Saturday night, several of the advocates for continuence of the liquor traffic expressed a wish that the Rev. W. Thomson might be brought to refute the arguments of the no-license speakers, and seemed quite confident of his being able to do so. There could hardly be a better time than during the visit of the Rev. E. Whiteliouse, vicar of Ashburton, who is expected next Saturday, and whose thorough knowledge of the condition of things in tho no-license districts must carry great weight unless contradicted by someone with equal opportunities of judging. If the statements being so freely made are true the “trade” have nothing to be ashamed of, or kept in the dark, and the more their side of the question is brought to the front by means of lecturers etc., the better for them. Though now very much in favor of no-license, if even halt the statements as to tho good done by the open bar, and the dire effects following nolicense can bo proved true, I will not only vote, but work and fight for license with might and main.—l am, etc., “MODERATION.”
