Great Gathering of Temperance

On Tuesday, Wedneeday and Thurs-

prohibition forces of Ontario will
meet in their Annual Convention in
Massey Hall, Toronto,
In Great Britain, legislators are

ing camps, many citizens who before
could not be classified as against the
liquor traffic, have come out in favor
of prohibition during the war, and
the Provincial Government at presont
Is considering how far it will be war
ranted in going in this direction.
This question must be settled soon,
and its urgency will add greatly to the
interest taken in this 1916 Parliament
of Tenererance Workers, which will
be of great importance. The work of
the past years will be reviewed, the
present situation will be considered
and future action will be planned.
Single -fare return rates on all lines
from all points in Ontario have been
secured and every church and temper-
ance organization of the Province has
been invited to send delegates.
A° Program Committee is busy ar-
ranging special featuresin addition to
the main business of the Convention
which is preeminently a deliberate
body.
The Convention will be addressed by
a number of prominent Canadian
public men on various related topica,

Hail & Summers in their dialogue
debate "Wet vs, Dry." These gentle-

campaigners in the Visited States and
make a most unique, telling and force-
ful presentation of the case.
It is also planned that the base-
ment of t.be Hall shall be set apart for
an enlarged and improved exhibit of
temperanee literature, postern, lantern
slides and illustrations of various cam-
paign and scientific work.
These special features while adding
to the attractiveness of this great
(convention, will of course be over-
shadowed by the importance of the
main gaestione to be considered, the
present personal duty of every Pro-

Fallacies fired
Ti, the Editor:—
The Liquor interests have been send

very briefly,

ia'e financial difficulties were caueed
by prohibition. That could not have
been, for the Yost Law only came into
effect July let. 1914. The truth is that
the indebtedness which caused the
trouble has been accumulating for
years under liquor rule. Governor
Hatfield says that men who opposed
the law are now in its favor, and
further "thousands of fatuiiles have
been made happier, and grocery bille,
rentals and other •necessary items are
being promptly paid by hundreds of
men who formerly drank and gambled
away their earnings while wives and
children were left without minis.
tense, A Wheeling shoe merchant
writes, "We are now selling shoes to
then who used to beg for the old shoes
left by our customers, That does not
look as if prohibition was going to
injure West Virginia„
2 They say that many of the boys
and girls in North Carolina had to
work and thus were deprived of edu•
cational opportunities. We frankly
admit that that was true before prohi.
bitten. Now the Superintendent of
Education says that school attendance
nearly doubled in two years after pro.
hibition came into force.
3 They point out that Tenessee and
North Carolina which are dry, have
more poor than Florida and Louisiana,
which are nearly dry. I have been in
both, and it is quite true that North
Carolina and Tenesbee had a great
number of poor blacks, while Florida
and Louisiana were rich states. Why
did they fail to tell us that the paupers
in the nine dryest states in 1915 were
48.5 per hundred thousand population
while in the nine wettest states they
were 127.7 — nearly three times as
many?
4 They tell us in big head lines
"Kentucky turns down prohibition."
That is not true but it is true that the
"personal liberty" members of the
assembly refused the people the liber-
ty to vote on the question. More than
half of Kentucky is already dry so
they knew what would happen if the
people got their liberty to vote on
the question. And still they cry for
Liberty,
5 They say "You will be surprised

HURON PRESS ASSOCIATION
Printers Find They are Losing Money
Publishing for $1.
There was a good gathering of the
publishers and printers of Huron and
Perth counties at Stratford on Friday,
when matters of co-operation and
business practice were discussed. The
president, Mr. 13. B. Elliott, of The
Wingham Times, occupied the chair.
After the reading of the minute, of
the last meeting the officers for the
ensuing years were elected as follow?..
Honorary -President, W. R. Davie,

An henored guest was Mr. W. M.
O'Beirne of The Stratford, Beacon,
who was able to be present after a
tengthy illness,
Recruiting matters were discussed
and the members present pledged
themselves to assist in every way.
The increased coat of colored inks
and paper was debated, the gathering
deciding to cover these costs in fu-
ture jobs.
The publieherra also decided to make
the date for the raise of the $1.50
weekly in Perth and Huron counties
on July 1, thus co-operating in the
national movement for the year 1010,
when all rural weeklies will be one
