NOTE THE OPINION OF OUR
MANUFACTURERS:
"Does Prohibition, under the 0. T. A.,
result in more comfortable . hones and
better supplies of food and clothing for
wives and children?" ,
When this question was asked of leading

of License Comnissioriers, 1,165, or 82 per
cent., answered "Yes", ;while only 239, or 17
per •cent., said "No".
ystentas GI Government
c ksas. Have Failed
So-called "Government Control" has prov-
en a dismal failure wherever tried. Drinking,
drunkenness and bootlegging have reached
appalling proportions. Every Canadian Pro-
vince that: has tried any form of "Government
Sale" has already learned a hard lesson.
Take BRITISH COLUMBIA: Hon. FL
H. Stevens, M.P., in a public address in Van-
couver -recently, declared
"Never, in the history of the country, was
bootlegging comparable in magnitude and
murderous results: towhat it is today."

drunk and disorderly cases in the first five
months under Government Sale, as compared
with the corresponding five months of the
previous year under Prohibition.
And, finally, QUEBEC: The following
resolution was unanimously adopted by the
Presbytery of Ivlon:reaI, April 156, 1924:
"That we regard it to be a patriotic duty
to make it known that the drug traffic flour-
ishes here as never before and is on the in-
crease, bootlegging flourishes in and from
this Province as never before, that drunken-
ness is on the increase and that the Quebec
system of Government Control is socially
injurious and not a success."
O starts Must Hod the Vine
If a majority vote for "continuance", it
means that we will have a better law more
effectively enforced, with correspondingly
unproved' results. The Gdvernment, through
the Prime'Minister,has definitely pledged
itself to.:strengthen�� the Act and gime it
active and vigorous enforcement?.
If a majority vote for "Sale", it means the
re-establish'inent of the old, discredited Liquor
Traffic, in the guise of respectability under a
system that makes the Government the bar-
tender and every citizen a partner, acting as
sales®agent for the brewers and distillers and
making profit for thein out of the destruction
of life and happiness.
The Ontario Plebiscite Committee, uniting
the temperance forces of Ontario, calls upon
all who love their Province and wish its con-
tinued and increasing prosperity and the
happiness of its people to VOTE .FOR THE
LAW that has accomplished immeasurable
good, and not for a return of the tragic that
