VIEWS OF A "MODERATE."
Sir,—Coukl you, ivithout betraying a confidence, proclaim the name of a correspondent 111 your columns of February 23, calling himself "Another Citizen"? As one who has taken'a certain interest in the cloinps of the Prohibition party, I should hlce to tell bim that he'is very wild in his assertions. One can onlv say that he seems to forget the golden harvest that the hotels of Wellington have gathered from the soldiers. There are many citizens not connected with any recognised body, or
committee, or movement, who will bo ■ only no pleased to see tlic exploitation < of the soldiers curtailed at least, sinco it cannot be stopped. "Another Citizen" tells us that lie lias "passed the age of innocence," but many of our soldier lads retain their innocence and their high ideals, and if the closing of the hotels at 6 p.m. is going to help them still to do so,, the small and unnamed committee, when they are ready, will have tons of thousands of supporters amongst the women and right-thinking men of this town. I congratulate those who have started the movement. —I am, MODERATE.
