TE DEUM A LA CARROLL

Tot'he Editor Sir,—lfi your issue of Friday 21st, Mr T. 3s. CarrSoll very properly expresses the profound thanks of the Wiaillaoe licensed Victualers Association to the eleeeors who have given the trade ‘■‘a further lease of existence.” If Mr Carroll had confined himself to the obviously Correct thing under Iflio circumstances, no one need take exception; but when he steps out of his way to have a parting shot at thd no-license* workers, in- may. expect the fire returned. It is rather a surprise to the no-license par; y to hear that_they have carried on a '‘tremendous campaign of misrej-rcsen tation and falsehood.” Mr Car,roll is rather hysterical. I would he v-etdly obliged if this liquor campaign wou. Id State a few caSesl m proo l '. instead of his screaniag genemU'.es. While chortling over Ms little s .cceas 1 would liWe to gently rou'.nl Mr Carroll that Wal.ace is not all of the Dominion, and that a majority of 40,000 for no-licensa is miner poor encouragement for him ia fils war dance. Mr Gahroll will have to shout pretty loud to keep h;s courage up when he can appreciate tfia mu-lung logic of facts. The talk about ‘‘toa.iis cation of property” is only a 'vild dream;. Had no-license beea carried on the 17th, not one hour would have been deducted from the time set lorih

upon a public.. a license, and Mr Car roll knows that. Mr Carroll’s solicitude for the families being reared in Wallace is sq transparently thiln that no one is deceived by it. The mothers of Wallace should remember this unblushing cant, and give it the reward it deserves three years hence. Over 50CM> recruits axe' required each year Ko meet the requirements of the trade, and Wallace will doubtless furnish her full quota during this triennial period, greatly !to the satisfaction of Mr Caifroll arid 1 his ejmplowers. —I am, etc., • JAMES A, ADAMSON,; Orepuki, 23rd Nov,
