LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

"BETTING NEWSPAPERS AND QUAKERISM."

ITO THE EDITOR OF THY " SPECTA.TOR.”1

SIR,—As we do not think that your readers would be able to gather from your article in your issue of the 4th inst. the material points of the case contained in our pamphlet on which you were commenting, we have requested your pub- lisher to insert as an advertisement in this issue of the Spectator the complete contents of the pamphlet.—We are,

Sir, &c., THE FRIENDS AGAINST WHOM SIB.

EDWARD FRY'S CRITICISMS HAVE BEEN DIRECTED. 19-22 Bouverie Street, E.C. EDWARD FRY'S CRITICISMS HAVE BEEN DIRECTED. 19-22 Bouverie Street, E.C.

[We have no objections whatever to the contents of the pamphlet appearing in our advertisement columns, as we are most anxious that the nature of the defence shall be clearly understood. We do not, however, wish to obtain any pecuniary benefit from the action of " The Friends against whom Sir Edward Fry's criticisms have been directed." We have there- fore decided to forward the money received for the advertise- ment in question to the Charity Organization Society with the request that, as far as possible, it may be used to help the wives and families of working men whose homes have been rained through betting.—En. Spectator.]
