The following is a copy in part of an ad'dressd delivered by Rev. J. R. Peters, of Elimville, to ‘the Exeter W. C. T. U. and is being printed on request. Ladies, It appears very much as though it becomes necessary for us, as Chris­ tian people, to begin another mighty campaign of education und propa­ ganda against this greatest of our national enemies, the Liquor Traf­ fic. It would seem also, as though we would be obliged to find some new and up-to-date methods and machinery with which to deal with this trade. For with all our boasted legislation, and our feeble attempts at Government Control, the fact stands out before us, like a sore thumb, is that the’Liquor Trade has entrenched itself more deeply in our national life than ever before. JAnd it appears that some of old methods of dealing with are obsolete and ineffective. The trade is up-to- date in the last detail; they are equal to any kind of tactics; honest' or dishonest, high-brow or low, to gain their ends. We must be equal­ ly observant and the worst one can say about it these days will be less than the truth. In the old days of the bar-room it was 'bad enough! But it carried to a certain extent the disapproval of decent society. For instance, very few women would be seen in the bar-rooms of that day; it was considered beneath the dignity of decent womanhood. .But today, it has wormed its way in­ to polite society; it has been digni­ fied with the approval of govern­ ments, as to its regulation and sale. Beer has been raised from a bar­ room to a so-called “parlor’’ on a par with ice cream, in the parlance of the people, so that it is consid­ ered quite the “smart” thing for women to accompany their escorts and to indulge themselves until they are uproariously drunk. Liquor is not sold over the coun­ ters of hotels, as formerly, but has been exalted to government stores, ■and by law, people are expected to do their drinking in their homes, •where the children are and where company is being entertained, And again, it takes on tne aspect of smart society and is plit into the heads of the youngs people, who otherwise would not ask for it. In the old days also, no person with any respect for themselves would invest their money in either the Troubled With Her Liver Coated Tongue Every Morning Mrs. A. J. Lansky, Alberton, Sask., writes:—“I had trouble with my liver, and every morning I would wake up with a thickly coated tongue, and would feel so tired I found it hard to do my housework. One day I re'ad about Milburn^ Laxa-Livcr Pills. I got two vials and am now fooling well again, and am able, to attend to my household duties without any trouble.” '* For Balo at all drug and general stores; put up only by The T. Milburn Co., Limited, Toronto, Ont. stock or trade Itself. But the spirit of commercialism ha,s gotten such a hold upon this ago that conscience is no longer a factor to be consid­ ered in the matter of investment. Conscience has been almost smoth­ ered out for many people, and any­ thing that promises excessive pro­ fits, quick returns, or easy money is taken on without asking many questions. So men do not ask, “Is it right?” but rather, “Does it pay?” And since liquor stocks and espec­ ially brewery stocks are the highest' dividendnpaying investments on the market today, they are being back­ ed up with tremendous capitaliza­ tion. The stock holders have climb­ ed up into the thousands, where they hardly numbered hundreds 25 years ago. Backed up thus with millions of wealth, the liquor trade is able not only to greatly increase its array of man power against it, but it goes merrily on, corrupting* governments, stifling the power and influence of the press and other­ wise holding the “big stick” over other sources of public opinion. Five! years ago, the Wine and Liquor Trade of France, meeting in Paris, declared they had 10 million dol­ lars to spend to defeat the prohi­ bition law of the’United States! And they did it in less tim’e than they had anticipated. Such is the nature of the traffic against which we must array our efforts. Changed conditions of the times, a distinctly altered attitude toward the whole question of drink­ ing liquor as a beverage on the part of thousands of people, and the al­ most insuperable advantage they have in the way of wealth—money to spend for all klinds of propagan­ da—-these are aspects of the prob­ lems which we must face with can­ dor and grim determination. We must realize that we are facing up to something that has taken on the nature of an International Racket, that will stop at nothing to obtain its end, it will ride rough-shod over people’s rights, it will corrupt gov­ ernments, it will buy up the press if it can, and otherwise close the mouth of opposition. And I have only outlined the . problem; our whole social system is shot through' with its sinister influences. The highest note that was. struck at our recent Temperance conven­ tion in Toronto, was that given in the address by the president, Mr. Rodd, of Windsor, .alter pointing out many of the evils I have just out-lined, he pointed out, that the only effective way in which we could' hope to deal with such a traffic, was to rob it of its private motive by nationalizing it. Of course that will require a Dominion measure; it will require the -co-operation of all the provinces, and our last ap­ peal shall have to be to the Federal government, to cancel all charters, and take over the whole business to be run as a government monopoly. The address was the finest presen­ tation of the case, and that was ever given to any convention. He has taken the most advanced position that has yet been taken on the ques­ tion, and his address in full is to be printed and made available to the public at the cost of printing and mailing within a few weeks. I sin­ cerely hope all those interested will put themselves in possession of that document. Our method of procedure there­ fore must be along certain definite lines, some of them old, and some new. Our worthy premier of this province is circulating 10,000 copies of a book! on War throughout the schools of this province, ‘Cry I-Iavoc’ We greatly commend him for it. Who will circulate the “Cry Hav­ oc” of the Liquor Traffic among them? It is true we already have text-books in our schools in physio­ logy, in which the effects of Alcohol upon the mind and the functions of the body are given—and well given likely. But who is to- be re­ sponsible for giving them the whole truth, of the moral implications of its use as a beverage? Who is to warn them of the social and domes­ tic unhappiness that follows in its wake, the blasted homes, the beast­ ly conduct on the part of drinkers, the immortality that often accom­ panies it, neglected homes and chil­ dren, party rows, and all other kinds of indecency and shame? It is not enough that our children shall know the evil effects of alcohol upon tlm human system; the geneartion to which we belong learned all that in their public school daye. Yet this same generation voted it out of the province, and then voted it back again. We must find some way of informing the children of the das­ tardly wreckis it will make of their lives, we must take them with us along its trail of blood and crime, its poverty and disease, its murders, hold-ups, its victims of every other SALADA" TEA ■i nDelightful Quality Fresh from the Gardens crime in the category. We must educate them as to its evils against their bodies as we do now, but that is not enough; we must moralize and spiritualize its consequences, and do it by ways and means in which they can understand by story (from actual life, if you will) by pictures, moving and other­ wise, by radio if necessary and thro’ the public press. -Secondly, we must look after our own local situation. Is there a boot-legger in your neighborhood? Is he befouling your social life by* appearing at the country dances, or other places of amusement where young people gather? What is his name? What are his methods of approach? And whose business is it to suppress that individual and curb his activities? There is only one answer. It is your business and mine! I wonder if it is generally known that the law of this province' is all on the sidle of the informer, and against the boot-legger, if you can get someone who will inform? Moreover, I believe we must take some more cautious measures in dealing with all phases of this traf­ fic. I believe we give too much publicity to all our plans, and that if we went about our work in a! quiet way, as do tne Moderation League, we might be a little more effective. The Premier told us the other day, that we didn’t represent the people of Ontario, much as- we might think we did, that election returns for the past twenty years proved we did not. So far as the said return are concerned, he was right. When we went out to vote, we voted for our parties, practically regardless of the issues involved. As a final suggestion, and for the issue that is now before us, I beg to offer the following. At the pres­ ent time, it looks very much as though, no matter which way we vote at the next election we are go­ ing to vote for beer and wine to be soldi in our midst. The Conserva­ tive party has already given out its intention to consider some form, of sale, but not until after the next' election. They are bound to play safe with it of course. For the time being, the Progressives have linked up with the Liberals for pur­ poses of opposition only. That may not necessarily mean that they are bound to the Liberal party on that question. But it is well understood! that Mr. Hepburn the Liberal lead­ er is wet, and ready to submit to the demands of the Moderation League, if elected, but the party has1 been waiting for the Conservatives to declare themselves before com- miting themselves. So there we are! Which way are you going to vote, unless the Progressives come out boldly against the proposal? And even they seem to be a disap­ pearing quantity, for which I .per­ sonally would be very sorry, if they should. But what is the picture at the present moment. What will you do?
