A Canadian writer rebuts Mr. R Dundas Strong on moderation and excess in drink, arguing that even slight excess marks the loss of self control. The piece condemns licensed bars as temptations and asserts that prohibition reduces social injury, while defending strict authority and public order.
A correspondent signing as Temperante argues against total abolition and defends alcohol use under license. The letter counters opponents who claim licensing harms minorities, defends moral suasion, and criticizes heated rhetoric while promoting prohibition measures in the Northwest.
The writer denounces Mr Redpath for supporting temperance aims while endorsing checks rather than bans on liquor. They argue licensing fails to reduce evil and compare liquor sales to a smallpox threat, urging suppression. They criticize misused quotes from an Episcopal encyclical and refuse to publish Redpath’s letters further.
