AN AWFUL Risg.—I'd like to run for alderman or for the job of Mayor, and make a high falutin' speech to agitate the air. And plant my carcass in a seat of leather and of oak, and seem a lot superior to all the common folk, I long to sit upon a chair upon that thick green rug, and view the whole surroundin's with looks that's wise and smug. To thutnp my horny fist with rage, and then with wrathful voice, proceed to show the residents the wisdom of their choice in 'lectin' me to represent their fond and cherished hopes of campin' in the taxless age, with all their other jokes. I'd like to go upon the turf right in the people's midst, and peddle out to each and all the glad election fist—to kiss the babies—bless 'em all—and cause 'em to be glad, and tell their dotin' fathers they're a credit to their dad, And when a dook comes to the town to kok around the place, I'd shake the dust from orf my boots, the .whiskers from my face—and put a tile upon my dome and get my trousers creased, and look as 4 smooth as though I had been freshly tanned and greased. Oh, it would be a joyful thing to hear the people shout, when e'er you came upon the street, to wander round about. "Stand off the walk, drive on that team, here, stop that noisy tram, for look who's corrin' down the road, sure 'tis an alderman 1" But oh, to have folks point the out with that there bitter slam "See that old rooster over there—you know he also rah 1" a MRS.

The Empire's call is for men, munitions, food., clothing, and, above all things, MONEY. We are being called upon to give our millions to carry on the war, Sir Geo. E. Foster has stated that the Dominion Government might even ask for a Domestic Loan of $300,000,000. It is only a few weeks ago that Canadians sub- scribed over $100,000,000 to a War Loan. These facts bring right home to us that this is, as Premier Asquith stated, "A A War of Money as well as Mon." Sir Robert Borden, Sir Thorns White, Finance Minister, and other prominent men have emphasized the necessity of economy. Conserve our wealth. Cut down expenses. This is what we must do. Something to Think About Did you ever seriously think about the millions of dollars expended an- nually for alcoholic beverages in the Province of Ontario As nearly as can be estimated from figures, based on Dominion Govern- ment returns, the consumption of alco- holic beverages in the F pinion in 1914 was $103,049,129. Assuming that On- tario, whose population is one-third of the Dominion, consumes one-third of the alcoholic beverages, her share amounts to $34,349,709.66. Let us say $33;000,000. In other words, Ontario's Annual Consumption of Alcoholic Beverages represents the cost of— ' 1st.

Or Rations, Subsistence or Money Allowances for 226,027 "boys" on active service far one year. 5th: Or the Canadian Government's Separation Allowance for 117,773 dependents for the entire year of 1916. The foregoing figures are based on the war estimates of the Department of Militia and Defence for 1916-17, as published on December 31st, 1915, in The Toronto Globe. Eliminate This Expenditure The Citizens' Committee of One hundred believes that as a war -time measure, if for no other reason, this colossal expenditure for alcoholic beverages in Ontario should be elim- inated. The Conunittee also has every confi- dence that the Provincial Government will move in this important matter as rapidly as public opinion will support them. The function of the Citizens' Committee of One Hundred is to organize, crystalize and give expression to the present state of public opin- ion on the gnest.ion of prohibition. The Com- mittee believes- that it can demonstrate to the Government that Ontario is overwhollningly in favor of prohibition. The people will shortly be given the opportunity of signing a petition for presentation to the Government The Citizens' Committee .of One Hundred is the executive head of this big new prohibition movement.

Doing so will show that you appreciate the benefits of prohibition in your own municipality and add great strength to the Committee's campaign. If you live in a Local Option municipality your signature to the petition is just as urgent- ly wanted as it would be if you were under license- Province -wide prohibition would not only confer a benefit on people living where Local Option does not prevail, but would also help to enforce the law in Local Option munici- palities. ittee of One: H G.
