Glorious manhood! How proud we are of our lads! What grand careers we plan for them! But Drink too often blasts our hopes as one and another goes under. So "we must find a solution of the Liquor question." Shall we tear down the name of Smith from the public bar and put up the name of the King, the King who at Kitchener's call turned down his glass? Shall we stamp the name of New Zealand on the glasses and then fill them with whisky imported for Government sale, and with beer brewed in nationalised vats? Shall we then, when praying for our Government, include "The Minister of Alcoholic Beverages/ and trust the good Lord to make the Alcohol a help and not a hindrance in rearing glorious manhood? This is the solution offered by the Moderate League. What do you think of it? 32
