At Hampton Court Ring Henry
passed much of his time with his six
wives—for be it remembered he was
a much much married man—Cath-
erine of Arragon, Anne Boleyn, Jane
Seymour, mother of Edward VI,
Anne of Cleves, Catherine Howard
who fifteen" months atter marriage
who fifteen - months after marriage
was arrested for high treason and
taken to the Tower, and Catherine
Parr.
Edward VI frequently stayed at
Hampton Court and 'it was fortified
during his time. Queen Mary,
Queen Elizabeth, James 1, Charles
I, Oliver Cromwell, Charles II, Wil-
liam and Mary, Anne, George I and
II, all resided • in the• Palace, but
George III after his accession never
resided there. It then became di-

ables, and the names of those at the
head table, and those who preside at
'the other tables, together with a list
of the guests and their table places.
All of which is most elaborately done
and is of great convience to each
person.
At Heatherden Hall, the lunch was
served in the Banquet Marquee, a
great tent, in the grounds to the rear
of the house.
The principal guest is often a fav-
orite staten.an of the host, and how
they do love to talk politics in their
after dinner addresses. • The Earl
of Birkenhead was the principal
guest, and he proposed the .toast to
The Canadian Weekly Newspaper
Association, . which was seconded by
T. P. O'Connor, M.P. the renowned
Irish Statesman and father of the
House of Commons. "The Canad-

The Moderation League
of Ontario
President, Mr. 1: F. Hellmuth, K.C.
The 'large majorities in favor of Government Control cast, one after
the other, by. -the Western Provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and„L
Alberta were not made possible by the votes of only those who desired £�
change for the purpose of personal indulgence. There could have been no
adoption of Government Control . had it not been for the votes of total
abstainers. In Manitoba, after .almost a year, only a small proportion of
those who voted for Government Control has taken out permits to purchase
liquors.
An examination of the figures will further show that very many people
who hadpreviously voted for Prohibition had, after several years' trial,
decided that the time had come for a change. -
' Why?
Not because it was desired to revert to the old "Bar" system of drinking.
Not because there was any question about the universal desire for tem-
perance, respect for law, and decent evironment for the children.
Not because the public conscience had become deadened.
But Because:
There had grown a feeling, amounting to a conviction, that Prohibition
was not living up to the prophecies of those who had advocated its- adoption,
and that it was creating evils as great as those itpretended to subdue, but
much more difficult to deal with.
Thoughtful men and women do not ignore what they experience and
observe. It is generally agreed that a step was taken in the right direction
when the public drinking bar was abolished. But the good of that step
has been challenged by the enormous traffic done by the, Bootlegger and
the huge output of the home -brewer and illicit distiller. -
The Moderation League proposes to hold to the good that has been
accomplished, but to meet squarely the challenge of the Bootlegger and the
Moonshiner.
Prohibition does not frighten the Bootlegger. It created him, and it
keeps him alive. -
Does anyone doubf how the Bootlegger will vote on October 23rd?
Does anyone think that if the Bootlegger could be.assured that present
conditions would last for, say, ten years he would not greatly extend his
business, and become even more daring in his operations?
In the meantime the Bootlegger has grown wealthy and powerful. No
matter what is done he will not now be easily abolished. Drinking con-
tinues on a scale the magnitude of which is unsuspected by the ordinary
citizen, and consequences, which do not find their way into statistics, but
are nevertheless disastrous to the individuals concerned and to the com-
munity, follow.
The decent, self-respecting and law-abiding citizen has been penalised,
but the orgies of the other class, provided they are conducted with sufficient
secrecy, have remained unchecked. -
< The Province is also losing the huge revenue which those who desire
to use liquor, properly and moderately, are willing to pay for the privilege.
Can the Province afford to lose this revenue? Can it continue to ignore
the conditions being created on every side?
The answer lies with the electorate. -
With many of the ideals of Prohibition the Moderation League of `f
Ontario is in entire sympathy: The.only motive underlying the activities
of the League is that of a sincere desire to promote the interests, social,
financial, andmoral. of the Province. There is no wish to provoke contro-
versy or ill -feeling. Appeal is made to the experience and observation—
not to the passions and prejudices—of the people of Ontario. It is con-
tended that there exist sufficient grounds obvious to anyone who does not
wilfully close his eyes to them and regarding which there is no difference
of opinion,; to justify the position takenby the League..
Altogether, the time has come for a change:
