STREET CONGREGATION OPPOSED, TO PLEBISCITE Last Sunday morning Rev F. E Clysdale spoke on the Prohibition situation in the province of Ontario dealing with enactment of the new act before the legislature providing for a new vote on the liquor question and .pointing out the futility of a plebiscite to register the sentiment of the people inasmuch as there is nothing definite for the consideration; of the people. He dealt most emphat- ically with the demand of the Moder- ationists for -"Moderation" and "Gov- ernment Control" pointing out that such a systeml meant increased priv- ile„ es and liberties with beverages of alcoholic content and that the pro yinces where such laws were in. oper- ation proved_ there was neither con- trol nor moderation. • He dealt With records a the re the attempt to compare a 1 Of Ontario with those of British Columbia and Quebec, showing that these records are notconipiled on the same basis anl.theref re are.us lens for comparison. For example the bueiness of the officers of the lazy in a Government control province is not to arrest persons intoxicated but only control there: and the official phrase used for the arrest of a per- son is "Lying drunk: in a public street or ` public place." While in Ontario.. ; anyone showing any evi- Bence at inintoxicationintoxication Intel be arrest- ed. 'Comparing the basis it might be expected there would be 'a wide dif- ference in the records but still the balance favors Ontario. The speaker tailed attention' to the actual benefits we have been en- joying under the 0.T.A. and urged his hearers against any backward step but rather to aggressive loyalty until there has been secured the pro- hibition of the exportation, importa- tion, sale and manufacture of alco- holics over• the whole of Canada. At the close of the address the follow- ing, resolution was enthusiastically carried and ordered sent to the Leg- islature: Resolution With. Respect to 0.T.A. Whereas the 0.T.A. after trial as a war measure became the subject of a,referendum of the people of Ontario and was sustained by such a large majority; And =.-h.ereas We b'Iie-re both the late and present Governments through their Attorneys General have acted in, ail, sincerity in their efforts to enforce the law, during what is as yet a transitional, period; And whereas the benefits derived from the operation of the act have been of incalcullable value in every way i11 the home, community and province; Ancl whereas we are convinced that our present 0.T.A. is the most effective manner of dealing with the liquor evil. Fie it resolved by this congrega- tion. of this plain Street Methodist Church that we deprecate the desire. on the part of a small minority to put this province to the expense a£ another referendum or plebescite so soon after the decisive votes of res cent years, and, trusting this splen- did pieoe of legislation will continue to receive the active support of the Government, arc wcit110 urge our con- viction that the prasent law strenath- ened:, safeguarded and enforced will Drove itself far superior to ,any Corin of Government Sale anti in- creasingly effective in the "Control' ',nil filial Sttpl'eesioni €}f. the liquor traffic, tlr.
