"A CARELESS PASTIME.”
(To the l&itor.) - Sir, —Thursday’s Daily News contains a let-' ter, Its object being to justify mankind in Indulging in intoxicants. Its writer clearly puis forth but one grievance against its establishment, and calls it “State interference.” That which is untit for human consumption is rejected as such by a good and just Government. Had it been a matter of vote in Dickens' time, women, mothers of nations and supporters of States through production of efficient manhood, would then have effaced its destructive power. Liquor has its grip in the same manner in which unripe fruit and harmful sheets are first dallied with by Infants, then taken in quantities which overpower systenjj and-where it does not kill a weakened’ constitution is a notlceablfe result. Drinking intoxicants is but a careless pastime which has been allowed full and disastrous liberty among mankind.—l'- aun, etc., SHOULDER TO THE WHEEL. Stratford, March 10.
