W.C.T.U.

TO THE EDITOR. Sir.—Permit me a woman’s privilege, to change her mind. I said in a previous letter that 1 would ignore any more of “Nosey Parker’s” effusions, hut he is so dull and stupid he takes it as an admission that I agree with his contentions and inferences. On the contrary, Ido not agree. I considered bis contentions and inferences so absolutely ridiculous that I would not waste time or paper on them. “Nosey Parker” started correspondence on the subject of 1 Union Jack ou Table ’ ; now he veers round to an attack ou the W.C.T.U. In connection with the flag incident let me hero inform “ Nosey Parker ” that I committed no offence under the police, civic, or Army regulations by placing the British flag on my table in the Octagon on August 1 last. Will those citizens who so strongly objected to the flag come out into the open? I challenge them to say who they are and why their objection to the flag ou tbe table. As.we had six tables, and mine was the only one with a flag on, they cannot substantiate any charge that it was for propaganda purposes. As for the beer racket in Gore, if the liquor interests are not “ fracturing any law ” on the matter of selling beer there, their commodity is certainly fracturing human decencies, if “ Nosey Parker’s ’’ statement is true as to “boys of 11 years old lying around drunk and neglected.” I still'prefer a foeman worthy of niy steel, so carry on, “Nosey Parker”; I won’t waste anymore time on you.—T am, etc., A Loyal Britisher; August 18.
