(Copy.) PROHIBITION IN MATAURA. To the Editor, Mataura Ensign Sir, —Wo call this a prohibition district, but it is so only in name. Why should we prevent drink being sold hero, when the law allows it to oomo into the district like any commodity ? ... Take this town (Matauri) f r instnnc ■. Som e fdv it baa done good to sev- ral “ old topers.” I grant it has to a certain extent, but even they may be Eeen now and then the worse for liquor. But what I deplore most is the number of young fellows who have goue in lor drinking heavily since prohibition was carried, ruining themselves fast, body and soul. There aro many in this place who band together and get liquor, and then spend a night, yea two or three nights, in d b iuch ery in huts cr nut of the way places. Were the parents respectable poople, to be told th b they would not believe it. To-night l bad ocoaeion to go to a Government office on business, and though there was a light ih' the office the door was looked Before the door waß opeued I was questioned as to wlo I was. When I was admitted to an atmosphere tbiok with smoke,There was the unmietikab'e odo tr of liquor. A° no one seems inclined to sty anything publicly and try and prevent the rum of these young fellows, >I beg that you will gra r t me space in your columis for the above. i I am, etc , A. N.
