A lot of hectic oratory, yards of stat-

October 23.

er they stay "dry" or become 'wet"

Their results will be very useful for
purposes of comparison—after the Oc-
tober vote.
THE 1919 PLEBISCITE'
In song and story, in fact and fiction,
the uncertainties surrounding horse
races and elections have been .mirrored
in. a thousand guises grave and gay.
On October 20, 1919, the Government
gave Ontario its first prohibition act
suffered a disastrous defeat, being
succeeded by the. United Farmer -Lab-
or combination which subsequently
chose Ernest C. Drury as Premier. On'
the same day a plebiscite taken on the
Ontario Temperance Act, "the 0.T.A."
as it is tan liaaly called in the Province
was overwhelmingly. ran favor of it.
Analysing the figures of the 1919
Vote, with the idea of being able to
predict with some accuracy the result
of the approaching vote, is responsible
for the present epidemic of high blood
Pressure throughout Ontario. An ad-
deal irritant to the perplexities of the
would-be prophets,is the fact that the
United Farmers, who favored prohib-
ition int the 1919 -campaign, and Whose
claim was that they made a sincere ef-
fort to enforce it, were swept 'out of
office by the Conservatives >itu the
general elections of June, 1923. In the
course of that campaign the Ontario
Temperance Act and the methods of
enforcement played a major role; per-
haps neither of them were entitled to
have the spotlight upon teem so stead-
ily.
Incidentally in April 1921, when a
vote was taken on the importation of
liquor into the Province, the result was
for importation 373,938, against 540,773.
ela;ority against importation 166,835. 1.
LOCAL OPTION PERIOD
Then, too;;prior to 1916, Ontario bad
made remarkable progress in local op-
tion, which from 1906 onward requir-
ed a three-fifths vote for carriage or
repeal. In 1905 ,only 187 out of 794;
municipalities were dry by local op-
tion; in 1916, when the municipalities
had increased to 851, the 'dry' munici-
palities had grown to 572, with 89 giv-
ing majorities for local option, but rail-
ing to carry it under the law requiring
that it must' be supported by three
fifths of all the votes cast,
Only 70 repeal contests out of a pos-
sible 1,330 opportunities for the same
were brought on in, the last six years
of thelocal option periled, and of these
only one was successful.
G. Howard Ferguson, as leader of
the Conservative party in. the past
campaign, promised "that in the ;event
of hie party being called upon to gov-
ern the Province, and if public opinion
demanded it another opportunity would
be given the electorate to express
their views on the Ontario Temperance
Act," Havinbecome Premier he is
giving the electorate that opportunity
by an act passed', at the last session of
the Legislature, authorizing the taking
of a' plebiscite, at a date to be fixed
by the Lieutenant -Governor in Council.
There are varying views .ns to the
prortiiety of such a measure, and the
taking of a vote at the time; it . de-
pends upon which camp, "wet'' Or
'dry' is ailing them.
Meanwhile at is to be noted that
for a "dry" Province Ontario has
made money ran the handling of liquor
for "permitted purposes."
The Christmas period is a particular-
ly busy time' for the dispensaries, the
number of doctor's, prescriptions indi-
cating increases in almost every human
ill that would create panics in thet mun-
icipal
inicipal health departments if they were
recorded at any other time of the year.
OTHER PROVINCIAL VOTES
The prohibition battle has of late
years beenconfined to provincial areas.
Ontario is to vote again on Oct. 23.
Manitiaba voted dry on March 13,
1916, with 50,484 voting for and 26,502
against. O.n Jurse 22, 1923, Manitoba
voted wet by some 40,000 majority..
Alberta gave a dry vote of 58,295
against 37,209, July 21, 1915—and voted
wet by a big majority Nov. 5, 1923.
British Columbia went dry Sept. 14,
1916: The results were delaYed un-
til
ntil the soldier vote was counted and
was finally given, as for 42,736 against
38, 862. On. Oct. 20, 1920, the Pro-
vince wet 75,964 to 49,225.
Saskatchewan on, Dec. 10, 1916, vot-
ed out the dispensary system by a
vote of 95,249 against 23,666, but vot-
ed against prop ',Walton by a. b ig " ma-
jority on July 18, this year.
Quebec in April, 1919, voted 178,112
tavor of the- sale oaf beer and light
wines and 48,413 against- Other liqu-r
ors are also cold under the Gjovern-
mesit commissiian• system.
New Beinewilck has been dry ajs ce
May 1917, and Nova Scotia since 1910,
and Prince Edward Island since 1916.
This summary classes as "wet" any
Province where he sale of intoxicants,
is by dispensaries, license, or any other
system, and "dry" where liquor is le-
gally sold only for medicinal. purposes:

PARTY
Air Pageant at Kenley
On Monday, July 7th, the 170
members of the Canadian Weekly
Newspaper Association motored
some 24 miles from the centre of
London and visited Kenley Aero-
drome, by arrangement between the
Air Ministry and the Empire Press
Union, and saw a display of flying,
illustrative of the latest aerial tac-
tics. It was a Royal Air Force Pa-
geant on a small scale, but in some
respects giving an even more inti-
mate view of the junior service at
work. Kenley is the headquarters
of No. 6 Group, whose particular
concern is the defence of London.
The R. A. F. Pageant is held at an
aerodrome which is not yet a regu-
lar Service centre; at Kenley one
sees the real thing. The Officer
Commanding the group is .Air -Com-
modore C. R. Samson, and he receiv-
ed his guests. The aerodrome is
the home of No. 24 Squadron, and
the band of the squadron played dur-
ing the visit. About thirty-five ae-
roplanes took part, these including
three "Siskin"—Siddeley 5, the new
single -seater fighter, a type that
was not represented at the R. A. F.
Pageant.
After the visitors had made a
tour of the aerodrome buildings an
exhibition of aerobatics was given
by Flying -Officer Shepheard.. There
was a fickle and at times rough wind
but in spite of it he went through
the evolutions which are part of the
training for aerial fighting. These
included looping, by which the air -
fighter tries to reverse the positions
of pursuer and pursued; spinning,
sometimes resorted to in order to
simulate loss of control through in-
jury to pilot or his machine; rolling
and upside-down flying, illustrating
recovery of normal flying attitude
from any conceivable situation.
The fighting air unit of three ma-
chines was demonstrated by three
"Bristol" fighters of No. 24 Squad-
ron. Big formations are made up
of units of three, which are the most
suitable as affording mutual protect-
ion against attacking aircraft, at the
same time permitting convenient
concentration for attack. This for-
mation was attacked by three "Sis-
kins" and a typical "dog-fight" en-
sued, the fast and nimble fighting
scoutsever seeking to get to close
quarters with the tail of their for-
midable opponents, the tail being the
"blind- spot."
A dummy submarine made up from
scrap material lay in the centre of
the field, and this was bombed by
,five "Snipe" single -seater fighters
of No. 25 Squadron , (Hawkinge)
which also slowed' low -altitude at-
tack as delivered against troops' and
shipping, the machines attacking
from different directions in order to
embarass the defence. "Crazy fly-
ing," which, despite its name and the
amusement it affords, is valuable
for demonstrating unconventional
manoeuvres, and for increasing the
pilots' mastery and confidence, an
item omitted from this 'year's Pa-
geant, was shown by Flying Officer
Leslie Hamilton on an "Avro."
Two commerical types were pre-
sent, the Handley -Page W8F three -
engined type, fitted with one Rolis-
Royce and two Siddeley "Puma" en-
gines, and a DH51, an inexpensive
two-seater fitted with a R. Ar F. en-
gine, and with a very good perform-
ance and low landing speed. Near-
ly 100 of the visitors were able to go
up in the machines "before they were
compelled to leave Kenley for an-
other engagement. They were taken
up in the Handley -Page, . in Vicker's
"Vinay" bombers, and in "Bristol"
fighters. Nearly half of the ' air -
passengers were ladies.
- -• It was deemed a great privilege to
see the manoeuvres, and to be taken
up in the air in the various types of
machines.
This was just one more instance
of the wonderful opportunity given
the Canadian visitors to see the won-
ders of the old land.
same old thing over and over again. " for mtin.y yyeprs a school teacher,
At Hever Castle
From Kenley we motored across
country some 20 miles to that won-
derful old English town, Hever Cas -
tie, where We were entertained to
luncheon at noon by Major J. J. As-
tor, M. P., and Lady Violet Astor,
of Lord Minto.) h
(daughter o } T e,
luncheon, here too, was served in a
great tent on the edge of the beault-
ifttl gardens—and when: one says
beautiful gardens it does not begin
to express the extent and magnifi-
cence of the grounds surrounding
the castle. Lawns, shrubs, hedges,.
a great profusion of flowers fount-
ains, ponds, statutes, etc. are plant-
ed and placed in every picturesque
and pleasing style. In fact there
are several gardens, the whole cover-
ing many'acres, and surrounded by
vast:, parks of magnificent, trees
where birds, deer and rabbits a-
bound.
After luncheon, Major Astor, who
is chief owner of the London Times
formally welcomed the guests, say-

ered : that they were honoured ' and

that there was no home in England
in which they were more welcome
than Hever Castle, and for .several
reasons. First, because of the happy
years his wife had spent in Canada
as a child, when her father was the
Governor-General, and he, could tell
them that her Canadian memories
counted a great deal with her; and
then he had the honour to be close-
ly connected with a well-known
journal in this country. His con-
nexion was not old as yet, but it had
been extremely pleasant, and it was
that he would not exchange it for
any interest that he was capable of
imagining. Perhaps this opinion of
the world of newspapers -was very
largely due to the good comradeship
which united those who were assoc-
iated with it, and in the name of that
comradeship he and Lady Violet As-
tor hailed their presence there that
day.
To each of them the newspaper
with which, or for which, they work-
ed was "the leading' 'newspaper,"
and that obviously the right view.
(Laughter and cheers.) They cer-
tainly felt it very strongly at Print-
ing House -square, and wished to see
"The Times" not only as an English
voice, but a voice throughout the
British Commonwealth. He, as he
expected all of those present had
done; had welcomed the niodern'de-
velopment of the old Imperial ideal,
and in their new conception of Em-
pire as a community of free yet in-
terdependent nations, they could
find, he thought, a nobler and truer
inspiration than in any other of the
Imperial destiny of their race. It
was certainly his own ambition that
"The Times" should be a trusty and
vigilant guardian of that , ideal.
(Cheers.) That was another rea-
son. why they, as the representat-
ives of
epresentatives:of the flrst Dominion 0! the Bri-
tish Commonwealth, were welcome
at Hever. In the name of his wife
and himself he extended a very
hearty welcome to them all.
Mr. ,Rupert Davies acknow1 dged.
the welcome given, and said that he
was expressing the sentiments of e-
very one of thatlarge delegation of
Canadian Newspapers when he said-
that
aidthat thier hearts were overflowing
with gratitude to their hosts for ask-
ing them to that beautiful old place
to spend the day. They came with
feelings of warmth and friendship,
because , of the fact that Lady Violet
had resided in Canada for a num-
ber of years with her father, .who.
was one of the most popular Gov-
ernor -Generals' they hadever had:
(Cheers.)
Lady -Violet Astor, in a few words
of welcome said she could assure
them that she hadthe happiest pos-
sible recollections of the 6 years
:spent in Canada, and the badge- of
delegation had just presented to her,
would still more remind her of Can-
ada and the Maple Leaf. (Cheers.)
Before the guests adjourned they
sang "0 Canada" and then in small
parties were shown over the castle
with its many treasures.
Hever Castle is one of those rare
old English homes of ancient style,
with turrets and battlements, out
and inner courts, moat and dna(
bridge, and a cluster of cottages at
the rear where the retainers and ser-
vants lived. In times of srife be-
tween baron and baron these retain-
ers were called into the castle to as-
sist in the defence. The draw-
bridge Is used to this day, being
raised at night and lowered in the
morning. The interior of the castle
is preserved in its original style- and
the rooms and furnishngs are a de-
light to the visitor. In an upper
room all kinds of ancient armor and
weapons of offence and defence are
to be found, together with imple-
ments of torture of various ages.
And down below are found the dun-
geons where prisoners of war were
kept and tortured in the good old
days.
Not far from the castle is a maze,
and it was the delight of some of the
party to walk through its many
twists and turns in the only correct
way, while others were obliged to
retrace their steps to get out of the
tangle, and one lady finding her-
