DRINK AND UNEMPLOYMENT
I'll THE EDITOR Sir. —You will kindly pardon me when I express surprise that you permitted the correspondent who signed himself “No Drink” to refer to a matter that, if I mistake not. is at present subjudice because of the fact that the young man referred to, while out on bail, has to stand his trial at the Supreme Court next month. In any case I think it ill becomes anyone to “ kick a man while he is down.” ‘Personally. I never touch liquor, but I understand human nature too well to condemn anyone who does. We have all our little and our big -weaknesses with which Mother Nature has inflicted us. Broad-mindedness, toleration, charity.! sympathy, and help, are what is needed in this world if life is to be made better, brighter, and happier for our fellow sinners.—l am, etc., Opoho, June 21. ' G. S. Thomson. fWe have no idea of the case to which “No Drink” alluded.— Ed. O.D.T.]
