Chances are that if they made their paints red by increased actio• ily they would be further ahead and the palmist would not secure as easy money. There was a day, sometime ago, when the Beed was "read" by the pbreoolo- gist, and we suppose the feet may be the next point of attack, Tune's going to be a stirrup in the Education Department of Ontario. We 'hope the proposed changes will neither be too radical nor silly. What's wanted Is a system that will give practical results at as low oast as will permit good work being carried on. Ontario carried the banner for many a year and justly so, but there has been too much monkeying with the law by cranks or faddists. Be careful of fires. If the record of the past year is to be continued there's nothing surer than a speedy increase in insurance rates. In too many instances the investigation as to the cause of the burn -out is not searching enough. The future welfare of the public demands tbat all the facts be closely Inquired into before the insurance money is handed over. Insurance Companies have been hit hard. ONE good sign for the coming Plebis• cite is the fact that ahnost every news- paper in the province is in favor of Pro- hibitosy legislation. A bottle of boozy attached to the steering wheel of an au- tomobile would make a bac) combination, whose destructive work could hardly be imagined A woman driving a car and Meeting a drunken chauffeur, burning up the highway, spells out tragedy, The safety of the public demands a sober people and even then great care is neces- sary to avoid accidents. WHAT about remodelliug the Cana- dian'Seoate ? :There are 3 vacant seats now and no harm seems to have befallen the country. One trouble in attempting improvements is that each party is so dead anxious 'o get political pensioners into a cosy nook they have apparently no desire to effect cbaoges or wipe it off the map. Its a very expensive 3rd wheel to the country's political cart and a brake on the chariot wheel of progress. Is every law were repealed because it was broken Moses would have to be re- incarnated to present the world with a new set of to Commandments. Instead of throwing bricks at the law every good citizen should prove his willingness to stand by it and aidiin its provisions be- ing faithfully carried out. Every time a Cannek breaks the law, or aids a fellow who does, he is placing a black mark a- gainst his own loyality to his country and attempting to thwart the statutes by lowering the moral tone. The fellow who brags about breaking the law should get his head examined. Huaort County should pile up a great majority in favor of Prohibition on Oc- tober 231d. This fine old County has often lead the way in movements for the public good and this opportunity should add to the laurels. The way to do it is to get every possible vote polled, It is quite amusing to read the lingo of the Moderationists about their great interest in the welfare of the public—only let grog be sold. Past experience bas prov- en that the booze business is always bad, whether sold in sealed packages, over;the bar or by the bootlegger. Dorl'r be caught by the bunk that there is more booze being sold today than over the open bar years ago. The jails are empty ; inebriate homes have gone out of business ; many a child has never seen a drunken man ; police courts are nearly deserted, and many a home bas prospered because the earn- ings of husband and father went to the 1101210 instead of over the bar. Get be- hind the O. T. A. and see that it is en- forced. Premier Ferguson says the law will he strengthened and consequently better carried out, if the vote on Oot. 23rd backs it up. Now 15 our chance, Now that the Fall season is at hand and the holiday rush and busy season for many is past there should be a lively buckling into the employment of every talent for a Forward Campaign in Church, School, Society and Commun- ity work, A spirit of helpfulness and unity, with a well planned program, can accomplish wonders. Too many are ready to load the bulk of responsibilly or labor on others whereas a real rally on the part of the majority would mean success in almost every instance, Let the ootnieg Fall and Winter be one of deeper interest and larger personal ac- tivity and results will surprise you, WANTED WHEAT OATS ' BARLEY AIV C1> PEAS T, G.

HERSEY, Prop. WORKS Steady progress has been made by the macaroni industry in Can- ada during the past decade. The Bureau of Statistics reports that, whereas the Dominion imported nearly 7,000,000 pounds in pre-war days, it imported only 1,096,000 pounds and exported 2,229,000 pounds in 1928. Nino factories, with a capitalizatidh of $878,000, now operate in Capada, with an aggregate output approximating 11,600,000 pounds. Whaling operations off the eoast of British Columbia this se*son have been very successful. Four stations and six or seven whalers are working.

Knight & Sons Phone 6516 Every Government Sale Province is a Bootleggers' Paradise IQUOR once sold cannot be controlled. The evil lies in the liquor, not in the method of its sale, nor in the form of the package. This is Canadian pro- vince in every P where government sale, in varying forms, has been tried. ¶ With easier access to intoxicating liquor, drinking has increased enormously. More drunkenness and crime associated with drunkenness have naturally followed. Bootlegging—instead of being CURED by so-called government "control"—is flourishing to a degree that makes Ontario's illicit sale seem small and insignificant by comparison. ¶ A ghastly failure, serving only to MULTIPLY the very evils it was heralded to cure! That is the story of government sale of liquor in BRITISH COLUMBIA, in MANITOBA, in QUEBEC. British Columbia and the Bootleggers The Vancouver World, a newspaper friendly to the government, has declared in an editorial: `British Columbia is the bootleggers' paradise". The Attorney -General of that province —who is the official administrator of the Government Liquor Control Act said in a recent speech: "The greatest bootleggers of all are the brewers and export liquor dealers". Dr. A. E. Cooke, of Vancouver, in The Canadian Congregationalist, asserts: "The Government controls neither the manu- facture, importation, transportation, nor exportation of liquor. The distillers and brewers control all these, and the Govern- ment simply acts as one of their sales agents, controlling about 50 per cent. of the retail end of the trade. The whiskey ring and the bootleggers control the rest." Manitoba Sick of "Control" in Less Than a Year Eleven months after Manitoba adopted its government control system, an open- minded investigator of conditions in that province, sums up the situation in these words: "1 leave Manitoba impressed with the evidence that both wets and drys are dis- satisfied with the government control sys- tem—the wets because there • is no legal sale of beer by the glass and because there is some delay and trouble in getting hard stuff, and the drys BECAUSE BOOT- LEGGING AND DRUNKENNESS HAVE GREATLY INCREASED." The same neutral authority declares: "There is no dispute in Winnipeg about bootlegging. Everybody—drys, wets, moderationists, police, government officials, business men, professional men and round- ers—tell the same story. The unanimous verdict during the week of August 24th, when I was in Winni- peg, was that bootleg- ging was being carried on on a tremendous scale, that thegity was wide open, that the hotelmen had no re- gard for the will of the people as expressed in the disapproval of sale of liquor by the glass, and that something had to be done." Quebec under Government Sale Eclipses Open Bar Evil Quebec, with its longer experience in government sale, has drifted stilt further back toward the evil days of the open bar: In fact, the only difference between the Quebec "tavern" and the old bar -room is that customers sit down at tables to drink, rather than stand up at a bar! And while Quebec goes on spending more money for booze than for educa- tion (,£28,000,000 annually for liquor and 1826,000,000 for educational purposes), crime is rampant, The Montreal Gazette was recently constrained to declare: "Mont- real is a perfect Mecca for evil -doers, with vicious, immoral resorts and gambling joints, the hiding -places of the alien and other criminals from all comers of the continent." Ontario Has Higher Hopes Ontario citizens do NOT want THIS province to become "a bottleggers' para- dise". They do not want their government to go into partnership with the distillers and brewers, splitting the booze business "fifty-fifty" with bootleggers—which is the best any government has been able to do under "government sale". The responsible electors of Ontario DO want' the happier homes, women and children, made possible by The Ontario Temperance Act. They DO want to defeat the liquor traffic's insidious effort to turn back the clock. They DO want Ontario to be spared the costly experience of such bootleggers' paradises as British Columbia, Manitoba and Quebec. In this belief, and with the Government pledged to "give active and vigorous enforce- ment" of The Ontario Temperance Act, the Ontario Plebiscite Committee asks, with every confidence, that Ontario citizens give the Government an unmistakeable mandate on October 23rd.
