CANADA'S OPEN GATE TO RUSSIAN
TRADE.
(Toronto Globe)
"Russia with its 170 millions of con-
sumers in our one great compensating
market of the future, and Canadian
industries should begin to lay plans for
the capturing of a large share in that
export trade. To do that it will be
necessary to sink individuality and
adopt trade -grouping among the Can-
adian industries. Organizations re-
presenting various industrial enterprises
now exist for the purpose of handling
war contracts. Let those organizations
continue to exist after the war with
the view of advancing trade in Russia.
Let them send their representatives,
practical men Rho know their articles
well, to Russia, and this country should
develop a very valuable export con-
nection with the Russian people."
That was the crux of the message
which was given to The Globe last
evening by Mr. C. F. Just, Special
Canadian Trade Commissioner to
Russia, who is registered at the Queen's
Hotel.
Mr. Just, who for a number of years
was the Canadian Trade Commissioner
in Germany, and was held at Hamburg
for eight months following the out-
break of war, went to Russia from
Britain as, soon as he was released
from the enemy's country. In Russia
he investigated trade conditions, and
made several reports to the Canadian
Government. He left Russia by way
of Vladivostok and entered this country
at Victoria, being now on his way to
Ottawa.
"There is a very favorable attitude
towards Canada on the part of the in-
fluential people of Russia," said Mr.
Just, "and the fact that from 50 to 60
per cent. of Russia's imports in recent
years have come from Germany puts
this Dominion in a most advantageous
position in e matter atter of extending poling ]fines
of trade to the Russian market." The
articles which Russia would be glad to
take from Canada, Mr. Just says, are
as follows: Farm machinery, saw -mill,
wood -working and rock drilling machin-
ery, lathes, hand pumps and turbines,
lumbermen's tools, and hardware of all
kinds, especially wire nails and barbed
wire, boots and shoes, sole leather and
chrome leather, such as box calf and
chevrean, and such chemicals as coal
distillate products, sulphate of ammonia,
creosote, carbolic acid and pitch.
Knitted goods, in the manufacturing of
which Canada is especially well known,
are also demanded.
"The long-standing law in Russia,
obliging the purchases of materials for
railway building to be made in that
country, must go to the wall," said Mr.
Just. Because," said he, "with a
population of 170 millions, Russia has a
railway mileage little more than that of
Canada. Russia," he added, "will not
be able to build its railways rapidly
enough under a law so restrictive."
The vast proportions of the Rnssian
market were indicated by the Mr. Just
in the divisions which he made of the
country according to the territory sup-
plied by the three principal ports of
entry. Vladivostok is tributary to
Eastern Siberia, with a population of
two and a half millions. The Baltic
ports lead to northern Russia with 45
million people, to central Russia with
21 millions, and to western Siberia with
some ten millions. Odessa, on the
Black Sea, supplies a market in the
south of 40 million people.
Altogether the Canadian Trade Com-
missioner believes strongly that the
manufacturers and business men of
Canada have a remarkable field for
new trade before them in Russia, if
they will only organize properly and
make a serious attempt to establish a
connection with that market.
THE "COMMITTEE OF ONE HUN.

licenses to .social drinking places,
whether bars or clubs The resolution
affirming the need of such au organiza-
tion was adopted at a recent meeting
in the Toronto Board of Trade rooms,
but the membership is Province -wide.
The keynote of the resolution is the
assertion that while the question' of
dealing with the liquor trade is
emphatically cine of "practical politics,"
there is no reason why it should be re-
garded as one of "partisan politics "
This assertion is perfectly true, and the
attitude expressed by ,it is eminently
reasonable, No social drinking places
of any sort should be licensed, and if
the Legislature would so declare, and
would take adequate steps to enforce
the law against bar and club drinking,
the most effective institutions for the
recruitingofdrunkards would disappear,
carrying with them the mischievous
practice of treating. -
The members of the committee are to
be as nearly as practicable equal in
numbers: Conservatives and Liberals.
Thisshould not be difficult to arranged
because their work is likely to be too
arduous to appear tempting to those
who are looking only for personal dis-
tinction. The Liberal members of the
Legislative Assembly have already
made the work of organization less
difficult than it would otherwise have
been, by offering to support any pro-
posal, even the most extreme, the Gov-
ernment is willing to put forward on
the floor of Parliament. The moral
lesson afforded by a sweeping measure
unanimously adopted would be a
memorable incident in the history of
social reform:—Toronto Globe.
EMPLOYERS AND EMPLOYEES
PLEASE LISTEN.
To the Editor:—
If more evidence be needed as to the
immensity of harm done by the liquor
traffic to business interests it is to hand
on a large scale. Statisticians have
divided the United States into four
divisions, first -prohibition states,
second -near prohibition states, includ-
ing those that have more than fifty per
cent under prohibition, third -partly
license states, those that have less than
fifty but more than twenty-five per
cent under no license and fourth -those
states that have less than twenty-five
.per cent under no license. This gives
an excellent chance for comparison
along several lines which has yielded
results that are Very surprising. When
the people learn facts like these there
will soon be no liquor traffic.
Let ut first take up the economic
aspect of the drink question. The facts
revealed by this method of investiga-
tion are of the utmost importance both
to employers and employees. It shows
that in the prohibition states in ten
years there has been an increase of
fifty-three per cent in the number of
wage earners. In the near prohibition
states the increase was 43.3 per cent in
the partially licensed states the increase
had dropped to 40.3 and in the licensed
states it was only 36,7 per cent.
This surely shows clearly enough that
the liquor traffic is the greatest enemy
of labor.
Next as to the increase in the
quantity of goods manufactured in ten
years. In the prohibition states this
was 116.3 per cent. In the near pro-
hibition states the increase was 85.6 per
cent. In the partially licensed states
it was 82.2 while in the licensed states
it was only 73.7 per cent.
These facts show that from the
standpoint of business activity the
states which do most to control the
liquor traffic are marching ahead of the
others, The relation between the
quantity of liquor used and business
progress is veru remarkable.
The per cent increase in the wages
paid to labor in the prohibition state is
no less remarkable. In the prohibition
states the. increase in ten years was
103 per cent. In the near prohibition
states it was 77 per cent. In the
partially licensed states the increase
was 75 per cent while in the licensed
states it was only 61 per cent.
These figures completely refute the
liquor falsehood that prohibition injures
labor. It is a benefit not only in wages
but many other ways. It also shows
that the sober man can and does do
more work than the drinking man who
often goes to work with a fuddled
brain and unsteady hands.
Probably the worst showing of al! is
labors share in the manufacture of
liquor as compared with other industries.
In all the industries of the United
States the average percentage of all
expenses that goes to labor is 54.4'while
the percentage paid for wages in the
manufacture of malt liquors is only
20.2 and the portion that goes to wages
in the manufacture of distilled liquors
is less than two per cent.
With these facts before us we must
organize and fight this great obstacle
to business prosperity.

ALL MOTHERS. NEED
CONSTANT STRENGTH
Their Strength is Taxed and
They are Victims of Weak-
ness and Suffering
When there is a growing family to
care for and the 'mother falls ill it is
a serious matter. Many mothers who
are• on the go from morning to night,
whose work, apparently, is never done,
tr3 to disguise their suffering and keep
up an appearance ot cheerfulness be-
for their family. Only themselves
know how tney are distressed by back-
aches and headaches, dragging down
pains and nervous weakness; how their
nights are , ftep sleepless, and they
arise to a new day's ,work tired, de-
pressed and quite unrefreshed. Such
women should know that their suffer-
ings are usually due to lack of good
nourishing blood. They should know
that the one thing they need above all
others to give them new health and
strength is rich, red blood, and that
among all medicines there is pone can
equal Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for their
blood -making, health -restoring quali-
ties. Every suffering woman, every
woman with a home and family to care
for should give. these pills a fair trial,
for they will keep her in health and
strength and make her work easy.
Mrs. G. Strasser; Acton West, Ont.,
says• "I app the mother of three chil-
dren, and after each birth I became
terribly run 'down; I had weak, thin
blood. always felt tired, and unable to
do my household work. After the
birth of my third child I seemed to be
worse, and was very badly run down.
I was advised to take Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills. I found the greatest benefit
from the pills and soon gained my old-
time strength. Indeed, after taking
them I felt as well as in my girlhood,
and could take pleasure in my work. 1
also used Baby's Own Tablets for my
little ones and have found them a splen-
did medicine for childhood ailments."
You can get these pills through any
medicine dealer or by mail at'50 cents a
box qr six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr.
Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.
BIG LIBERAL CONVENTION.
The Ottawa Free Press announed that
a*convention of the Liberal party, the
first in 22 years, may be called soon.
The Free Press says:
"It is proposed that a National Lib-
eral convention should be called. The
question is under the'. consideration of
leaders in Ottawa, Toronto, Montreal
and elsewhere. All announcement may
be expected shortly of the proposed
dote of a gathering 'which would include
representatives from every' part of
Canada. •
"The organizaUbn'of such a •conven-
tion would require`'much• preliminary
preparation, which }?ardly could be ac-
complished in less than a year.
"It is estimated that this would
bring the convention on ,this
British
arms had achieved victoryand a
triumphant peace had been declared."

MEETING OF 'rEM?ERANCE MEN.
At the very time when the Govern-
ment presumably thought that with the
passing of the eight o'clock order of
the License Board there would be a
little respite from the agitation against
the liquor traffic, they must be very
disappointed to find that instead of a
rest, a period of even greater activity
has bean ushered in. It was on the
evening of the 12th of October that the
eight o'clock closing rule was announced,
(which by the way has pleased nobody,
either the liquor interests or the
temperance men), and it was just three
days later, on the 16th of October, that
the Committee of One Hundred,
modelled after similar bodies in Sask-
atchewan and British Columbia, was
launched at the big Toropto meeting.
This Committee of One Hundred is to
be the Executive of a new temperance
movement, entirely non-partisan in its
nature, and which will be satisfied with
no nibbling or zig-zag process, but
which is demanding the complete pro-
hibition of the liquor traffic in Ontario
or, at any rate, a referendum of the
people on the question.
The movement, which is still in its
infancy, already includes prominent
men of' both parties from many sections
of the province and prospects are
bright for a successful career.
It is most fortunate that this move.
ment at its beginning had the assistance
of Mrs. Nellie McClung, the brilliant
Western woman, and also of Rev. Dr
Pidgeon, recently of British Columbia.
These two speakers, by telling the
actual facts of the great temperance
advance in the West, are doing much
to encourage the people of Ontario to
wipe out the liquor traffic here.
