LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
The Referendum Act Criticised-An-

The Legislature has prepared for the
peoples vote, a. license law. which in
many respects Is unsatisfactory or even
offensive. Many men will be deferred from
voting Yes on account of this circum-
stance. If a license law had been drawn
as the same might have been, without
gravely Objectionable features, it might
have stood some chance Of being adopted
but with such offensive riders and Tugs
as there are II would seem that the NEE s.
urc must sink from its own weight. We
think the Legislature would better try it
over again and see II IT. can't do better

Of place to mention one or moro blemishes

SAYS that frceborn citizen shan not be
allowed to exercise toward his neighbor
an act of charity. The man behind the
bar can sell his glass of wine to friend or
foe, but the man before the bar can't give
to his friend little wine in charity
That provision can t be enforced. If it
was enforced II would tend to stile in the
