Local Option Campaign, ICT THE FORTHCOMING THE RiaHT WAY TO VOTE : Score Out the Two Bottom Lines. i Vote that the number 01 Licenses existing in the district coutinue i Vote that the number of Licenses existing in the district be reduced i Vote that no Licenses be granted in the district THE NO-LICENSE EFFUSION'S A PARCEL OF OF.S SPICED WITH A LITTLE TRUTH. THE REDUCTION ISSUE—CRUEL, PERNICIOUS, AND INIQUITOUS, WHAT THE INYERCARGILL MEN DID NOT TELL US: THE NO-LICENSE DEMAGOGUES are eudeavonrinff ,W» mafe »s belove thatvi ■all the principal Churches have unreservedly adopted their Prohibition fad.'V THIS IS CONTRARY TO FACT. The discussion 'oh tlie subject at -thevh Anglican Synod now sitting in Christchurch givt*» the lie direct tp their state:; nient. The most intelligent'of'the Presbyter'an "ministers would sooner discuss;'the Rabbit Act in their pulpits than NoLicense, and the Roman. Catholic ai-f seldom heafil even,' referring.to the-'.matter. " .v >. - J ,:":f! IT IS TRUE'thai they all preach Temperance, but not by the* coercive fluid of No Licence. As intemper.i'i ;e i s a moral evil, they prefer using a force to r.uppivss it. Even Father Hayes could not bring himself altogether into Y line with the No Licence movement. Ho preferred Temperance, by ntoral su.is-.on' .. THE BRAND OF INSINCERE* W a s placed on the No License Party <he. .. moment they rose as one. man and u-pudiated "the No-License ttaviw < ;., of the Act of 1904, and thty i ;ov ttniinued to bo dishonest in their tactics'-':, evi-r since. ...... ...'>"' THE REDUCTION ISSUE, with which they are. trying to throw dust in"'.--the.eyes of the unwary Elector, is both cruel and tirijust. ■ The English Licensing Bill, which is a sort of a reflex of the Reduction issue, is thus'"described ~ by an eminent divine (Canon Knox Little);—it ; .s obvious that if thkßiU were to . ' pass into law (which God forbid) it w (;U ld not promote the virtue, of Temper-': nnce. but become;, an Act for ihe promotion of secret drinking.: Even if it were.'.-.'' calculated to promote Temperance (which it. js not), it. would bt> morally wrong to give it support, because it is based t»n injustice and d-shonesly, and is a rob- •"■ hery Bill. All sorts of sophistry, casuistr- quibbling, declamation, and.claiit- . our. have been brought into play iu the hope of weakening this obvious fact, but' in vain. Ido not believe? that Englishmen have so lost their; moral sense ■ as to permit such a monstrous in'quity. WHAT A HOWL OF INDIGNATION would be raise*! if one fin* morning i-;on>s of the leaden; of those mushroom schism* of the Church—the dissenting bodies—were told tha't their particular brand of religion was no longer required. :■ That by the vote of the people it was suppressed. " - Oh ! v * they would exclaim, 'the other -isms will : grow fat, and we'll starve. That's not fair." ' Yet they ' consider It quite fair' to take the bread out of tho mouth of one licensee nnd fatten another. ' " ' ' J • THE INYERCARGILL CITIZENS who came liere \a tell tin the 'truth".,,. about that town and its stale, under No License, carefully refrained from, telling';. tit; tlte specific incidents front Court records and other official sources \yhieh '; proved conclusively tlie failure of Prohibition to prohibit. They must have' studied the science of •Homtleetio; lips'de down—■minus truth and logic. INSPECTOR MITCHELL TELLS US what Parson Mitchell ami his nsso- ;,, date* could not or would, not tell us ths other night. Tho sly grog sellers who Mere sent to gaol on August 13th for "the second offence within a'»few weeks,, received through the proper channel a small portion only of tho beer consumed - on the premises. • • - THE INSPECTOR ADMITS "twice or four times the quantity might have lxyn sold than he knew of." Yet the gentlemen who came to' enlighten us, here, armed with all tho facts about In vercanr'H, had no knowledge of such.. _ : ncidents as these, made public through t lie Police Courts—and one of tiwrn «' lawyer. This is surely a trenchant exposure of how they tell <he truth 1 , and. the whole truth. " W * THEY ALSO OMITTED to tell us of their own close affinity to SLY GROGSELLERS, HOMICIDES, and MURDERERS, or the permanent Iwneht swno ««• . them received from the brewing industry. , . .'.'''
