LICENSING REFORM.
TO THE EDITOR. <3ir,—l have read with touch interest the letters which have appeared in your paper recently on the subject of licensing refer to. Personally, 1 stupd firm for liberty with moderation, and support Hr A. Irwin's principles. To my mind ho is the ideal oldtime old-fashioned true type of Englishman, who has always enjoyed Ills glass of ale and never abused it. Speaking of liberty, X oftentimes think, is there any more reason why the prohibitionist should not deny himself hie infernal .smoking habit it the to odevale man has to deny himself his liberty to partake of Ins glass of ale should Ire feel inclined, I know so toe of our strongest advocates of prohibition Who never walk along the street unless they have their Smelling pipes in their taouths. Surely nicotine is a drug just fee alcohol may be. My idea is, Give right and liberty to all with moderation, down with drunkenness and otooking. — I Bin, etc., MoBEBATE.
