"WOWSERS" AND OTHERS.
(To tho Editor.) Sir, —I read a long rigmarole m your issue of. the 18th inst. signed "Tom Bowyer." Your correspondent seems to have, developed a mania for abusing respectable people. In your correspondent's opinion the Salvation Army is nothing but a lot of loafing cadgers. The prohibitionists and clergy come m for abuse as pharisees, wowsers, etc. I am informed on good authority that the residents of Ashburton behaved very well to your correspondent. Ho being a cripple they took pity on him and extended their patronage to him m order to help him along m the world. I consider it the height of ingratitude on his part to abuse his benefactors the way he has done. What does your correspondent expect to gain by seeking cheap notoriety! 5 If Ashburton is getting too sultry for him, why does he not shift to a more congenial climate ? The world is wide. COSMOPOLITE. December 21, 1911.
