THE writer respectfully challenges any supporter of the liquor traffic to answer the following questions : i. Is the following definition reasonable ? viz., “ The sum of all religion in all Churches and all Philosophies is the union of all who love, for the service of all who suffer.”

2. Should a small country like New Zealand tolerate a trade which created over 10,000 arrests for drunkenness last year within its own borders ? 3. Can you, as a thoughtful elector, vote for the continuance of licenses which are respon.-ible for the ever increasing army of drunkards ? 4. Why should New Zealand pay 360,121 in liquor in order to get back 213 inrevenue, and then lose £2,585,908 by the transaction ? 5. Does the trade in strong drink tend in any way to make New Zealand a better or more prosper jus country ? 6. Why should you be salisfied to support an institution which might ere long bring ruin and shame upon you and yours ? • 7. Has the liquor traffic ever made any of your neighbours more industrious, more law-abiding, happier, or better citizens ? 8. Why do the brewers and publicans so bitterly oppose No-License if they sell as much drink under it as under license ? g. Why has the Clutha electorate during the past 15 years cast an increasing vote for no liceuse at each succeeding poll ? COLONEL INGKKSOLL ON ALCOHOL. “ I believe from the time it issues from the coiled and poisonous worm in the distillery until it empties into the hell of death, dishonour and crime, that it is demoralising to everybody that touches it, from the source to where it ends. It breaks the father’s heart, bereaves the doting mother, extinguishes natural affection, erases conjugal love, blots out filial attachments, and blights parental hope, and brings premature age in sorrow to the grave. It produces weakness, not strength ; sickness, not health; death, not life. It makes wives widows, children orphans, fathers fiends, and ail paupers. It covers the land with misery, idleness and crime. It bribes voters, disqualifies votes, corrupts elections, pollutes our institutions, and defiles the jury box. It does that and more —it murders the soul. It is the sum of all villanios, the father of crimes, the mother of all abominations, the devil’s best friend, and God’s worst enemy.” bishop julius (Christchurch) on no LICENSE. “ The open bar system is a disgrace to our civilisation and Christianity. We appeal to you to vote both Nos License and Reduction at the coming Local Option Poll.”
