They ate plain, wholesome food and they drank plain, wholesome beer. It never occurred to them to interfere with what another man ate or drank. Such a life built character—the character of New Zealand, which embodies a spirit of toleration, a spirit of mind-your-own-business and let the other chap do the same. That spirit is still ingrained in the New Zealander. He likes to be a free man. _ | 'HESE latter years there has arisen a small faction of faddists—small, but ■*• very noisy. Their fad is the destruction of everything that makes for homely pleasure and joy. They would first of all abolish drinking and smoking, and that “good work” accomplished, would proceed with their self-appointed task of making us all very “good”—and very miserable. Such are the Prohibitionists—killers of joy in any form. They are at work always—they have all the persistence and tenacity of fanaticism. It behoves the easy-going live-and-let-live New Zealander to take thought for his liberties, otherwise he may find himself dominated by this Brotherhood of Gloom. LET the spirit of the Pioneers assert itself within you—make up your mind definitely that you will not permit this interference with your personal free choice. Hold Fast to Liberty!
