IS IT FAIR? ""~~ "After all. my dear, is it fair the way people view this Equer problem? Leek at the wav men condemn women drinking. Licensing Cotssnttess and Magistrates hay« been saying hoteikeepers should discourage women going to hotels. Quite right too, when 397 have been countad in one Hoar in tne hotels in Christchurch- " I don't believe in women drinking. Imagine tie way the average hosfeand carry on if his wife, returning from shopping, dropped into a hotel or club bar and spent an hour there chatting and drinking with other women! Bat why shouldn't she—men do that kind of thins every day. " Look at tke wives and children wko go without luxuries, or new clothing, ana go short of pleasure because of this habit of drinking amongst men! I don't mean DRUNKEN men. but the decent men who drink moderately, jost because it happens to be a custom. They never reclise how much money goes in a month that way. " Then qtrite sincerely they say to their wivas, ' We'll have to take a poll, and economise a bit. , and expect her to do it, when she is probably finding it hard enough already to make ends meet. • ** Now, if all the bars were abolished, a≤ they would be under Prohibition. aad men didn't feel it necessary to ask each other to ' have one * there would be more than £8,400,000 per annum in the men's pockets for other kinds of spending. "" It seems to mc Prohibition would be fairer all round than the present system, wfejea approves of a man doing what it condemns a woman for doing, while the women and children have to pay for what those who profit by it call the man's " Liberty.' I believe in a fair deal for women, that's why I shall Strike Out the 2 TOP Lines Wm i I vcte fcr Nahofwl^ \A \ CUT THIS OUT AND U lfrV/jL \ keep it by you >
