To the Editor of Tan Poem:
DEAR Srn,—Kindly allow me a few
words of encouragement to the readers of
Tint Pose re the vote to be taken on the
29th of this month, This is in my
opinion the moat important vote that the
ratepayers of the Dominion were ever
entrusted with and I am most anxious
that everybody should vote to encourage
a Government that ie willing if the peo-
ple say they want it to pass a Prohibitory
Law for this Dominion. I say from my
heart may God belp everybody to do hie
duty for hie own sake and for the sake of
his unfortunate brother who oenoot re-
sist temptation. We have' tried long
enough to regulate this traffic, and
have miserably failed. Now when we
have a chance to prohibit it let ns make
no mistake but mark our ballots on the
29th with a cross in the column "Yee"
for Prohibition. I am writing this from
the city of Detroit where I am bvihomg
sin
but, God being my •, helper,
and vote for Prohibition.

Soars argue that moderate drinking is
all right but every man who has gone to
fill a drunkard's grave travelled over the
same line. Prohibition would deal a
death blow to the treating system and
save many a man from acquiring a taste
for strong drink.
