THE PROHIBITION CRUSADE.
TO THK KDITnH,'
Fir,- I notice from your leading article of Monday last that you are not satisfied with the programme of th^ Prohibition party for next general election ; but although you find fault with the proposal* you do not suggest a better way. Perhaps if wouU not be asking too much if we .respectfully request you to write another article, pointing out what we really ought to do to compass our ends, without causing embarrassment to the great Liberal party,, or vexing the soul of the professional politician.—l am, etc., J, Keir [Mr Keir cannot have read the leader with his usual attention, or he would have seen that we did make a suggestion. Towards tho end of the article we said:—"Such object* will rather be gained by the election of temperate, upright men, well educated, and with a capacity for public business, who will approach the difficult problem of dealing with the liquor traffic in the same judicial temper as they will bring to bear on other questions of political and social reform.' It is exactly the professional politician who is ready to give such a pledge a* the Prohibition League has resolved to demand—or any other pledge.—Ed.]
