(Brantford gaposithe)
It can be truly said of Sir William
21earst, the Pretnier. of Ontario„ that
he is a very "conservative" leader.`
I''In his manifesto to the people of the
province, In addition to those meas.
ores which are specifically mention-
ed, he promises to champion "such
,other deforms and activities eas will
commend themselves from time to
time Ito an alert and progressive gov-
=eminent." To those who have studied
the development of social and econ-
omic problems In the "Province of On -1
tario during recentyears, and have
sought to achieve some, of these re-
'forms, these words of tike Premier
about "an -alert and progressive Gov -
;eminent" will sound like a huge Joke,
Str William Hearst is claiming
great credit for the Ontario Temper-
ance Act, which,has abolished the sale
of liquor in the province, yet' it must
be charged against him that it took
upwards df five years for his "alert
and progressive government," to take
.action leading to the abolition of the
public barrooms, and the overthrow
,of the license system, .As late as the
'season of 1914, fhe Premier, who was
'then a tnember of the Cabinet of Sir
:James Whitney, •voted against a reso-
lution calling upon the government
• to implement the promise made by
'Sir James Whitney fn •1912 to bring
In legislation abolishing the treating
system, The present Premier also
' voted against the proposal to abolish,
•all hotel and club license, imme-
diately, and allow the residue of the
shop licenses to be wiped out by local
option, extended to countrywide
'boundaries, our a majority vote. The
Premier also voted against every pro=
'Pose] to restrict the hours of sale,
and at the electioh of 1914 fought
for the maintenance of the license
system, and 'against the abolition of
-the liquor traffic. He continued this
attitude for over two years longer,
-until at last he yielded tothe over-
•whelining storm • of public opinion
consolidated under the leadership . of.
the Committee of One Hundred, against
the licensed liquor ' traffic, and enacted
the Ontario Temperance Act. The peo-
ple of Ontarta know well that it was
the fearless' propaganda against the bar-
room, conducted by Hon. N. W. Rowell
sand the Liberal party, backed by the
aggressive temperance forces of the
province, that brought in the era of
;prohibition for Ontario.
The same alert and progressive
itaremier opposed the enfranchise-.
anent of women, and only gave up 'the
fight when the pressure was irrisist-
ibie. The train reason for refusing
votes to women was that they would
use thier -vote and influence to de-
stroy the liquor traffic. Yet to -day
we have the spectacle of a Prime
Minister, who resisted this measure
as tong as he dare, claiming credit for
the Legislation that brought it to
pass.
The sante can be said of Labor in-
terests. When the proposal was made
to establish a Department. of Labor,
the preseiit Prime Minister voted
against lt, and the department has
not yet been created, but the Premier,
,face to face with an election, promises

The same can be said of other
pleasures of urgent itftportence. How
can a Premier and the advisers in
his 'government, who ignore such
vital issues ;is the public ownership

system of proportional representation

age evil, insurance against sickness

In view of the platform issue... 'to

is interesting to compare the 'prom-

Mien many'- of these problems we're

solution.
In the matter of to nperance legis-
lation, the Premier is claiming great
'credit, but it must be remembered
that when the united tetnperauce;
forces appeared, before the govern-
ment to demand advanced legisla-
tion that would curtail the evils of
the traffic, Sir Wiilianr Hearst op
posed all these measures, When in
the session of 1914, a resolution Was
introduced in the Legislature calling
upon the government to implement
the promise made *by Sir James Whit-
ney in the session of 1912; that legis-
lation would be enacted to put au
end to the treating system, Sir Wil-
liam Hearst voted against the motion•,

• As evidence of the way in which one
enterprising Canadian firm has pushed
the sale of its product into the corners
of the earth, it is interesting to know
that the "Salads" Tea Company self
their product not only through the
United States, but in France, Belgium,
Spain, Portugal, lOanary Islands, Alger-
ia, Morocco, The Gold Coast, every
British West India island, Mexico..
Cuba, British Honduras, the Guianas,'

Chile and the Argentine.
They have lately trade a large ship-
ment to Iceland, and have receivedin-
entries from Egypt, Bulgaria, Czecho-
Stovakia, Turkey, Norway, Alsace,
Switzerland, Peru, Denmark, Sweden,
etc, etc.
The teas shipped to these countries'
are exactly the same quality as you
buy under the same familiar labels in,

2.51% BEER—the
Beer0f the Ballot -
is not Intoxicating
44.
Adetermination as to whether or not a particular beer is intoxicating can be
reached only by a proper understanding and analysis oft the manner in
which the alcohol in such beer affects the human organism.
Beer containing 2.51% alcohol by weight has been proven non -intoxicating by
actual experiments, scientific tests, thorough research.
Fourteen specially qualified experts, testifying before the United States Circuit
Courts of Appeals, were unanimous in agreeing that beer containing even as
high as 2.75% alcohol by weight (or .24% stronger than the beer of the Referen-
dum Ballot) was non -intoxicating:
These experts were Professors of Chemiatry,
Toxicology, Therapeutics, Nerve Specialists,
Physical Training Instructors, Medical Doctors
and specialists in charge of city departments
where alcoholics were oared for. Experiments'
were conducted upon twenty-four men chosen
from various wants of life—medical students,
laborers, mcuhanics, business executives, clerks
in banks and brokers' offices, artists, writers
and professional men.
The experiments proved conclusively that beer
of 2,75% alcoholic content strength could not
possibly be intoxicating—not the slightest signs
of intoxication were shown by any of the
subjects,
In view of the sworn statements of these ex-
perts, based upon the results of their experi-
ments, that beer containing 2.75% alcohol by
weight is non -intoxicating, it must follow that
2.51!beer, the Beer of the Ballot,, is non -
intoxicating.
It is the strong.00nviction of the Citizens'
Liberty League that—ns no harmful results
can possibly coma froth drinking 2.51% beer
—then there pis no fair or just reason why
the general sole of beer of this quality should
not be permitted.

stance did the Premier volie for these
measures.
Again, the Premier in the first
plank in his platform on the eve of
an election promises aid to agricul-
ture in every shape and form. But
in the legislature, when it was point-
ed out that in many sections of the
province . there was 'a decline in in-
terests vital to rural communities,
such as the loss of population, which
adverselyaffected schools and
churches, scarcity of farm labor, and
a ditiinution in the agricultural pro-
duction of the Province, he voted
against a resolution askipg 'that a
commission of 'practical men be ap-
pointed to investigate these condi-
tions, and, , if possible, recommend
measures for improvement. No won-
der the farmers are feeling that
their interests . are not safe in' the
hands of the • Hearst government. •
The Premier's platform is aiso of
great interest to Labor, for he prom-
ises that he will give direct represen-
tatioih,to Labor in the cabinet. Yet
when a notion, was introduced in
the Legislature, calling upon the
goiernntenf; to establish a Depart-
ment of Labor, presided over by a
minister, to which would • be trans-
ferred the >lureau of Labor from the
Departnjent - -of Public Works, and
the factory.inspection branch from
the Department of Agriculture, and
which would have charge of all the
interests of Labor, he voted against
It.
Once again,. when the friends of
Labor introduced a resolution in the
House, asking for amendments to
the Factory, Shop and Office Build-
ing Act, for the better protection' of
chfldten, youths and young girls,
Mr. Hearst voted against it,
It is sotnetinleS very interesting
when potitieians • snake big promises,
on the eve of an election, to look
into their record on these questions,

rendering practical service; and when

TELEPHONE service,+lilce other public
services, undoubtedly suffered through
the war.
Hundreds of skilled telephone workers
went overseas. Many trained operators
sought temporary positions in munition
plants, There was a world shortage of the
materials that go t9 build a telephone sys-
tem. Our reserves of plant and equipment
were drawn} upon until they were practically
exhausted. Necessary repairs and mainten-
ance work had to wait,
Then came the armistice. The business
world sprang into intense activity. The de-
mand for new installations all over our
system was enormous.
Now comes the task of getting back to
normal restoring our reserve plant, over-
taking arrears of maintenance and repairs,
hurrying new construction of local and long distance
equipment to meet, pressing demands for service.
Our plans for this year involve an ogllay for
extensions and replacements of over $7,000,000. We
are giving intensive training in our operators'
schools to hundreds of young women to prepare
them for central office positions.
Our chief concern is that our subscribers should
get the best possible service under all conditions.
Skilled workers, adequate equipment, a resolve to do
our best, while realizing that we are all servants of the
public—these are the factors which, we hope, will
result in the maintenance of the pre-war standard of
telephone service.

among victims of the submarine warfare -arid giv-
ing the sailor ashore an alternative place for rest and
recreation to the places of doubtful entertainment
that abound in port.
Why the $500,000 is needed
On Nelson Day, October 21st, starts a 3 -day
campaign throughout the Dominion to raise
$500,000 necessary to finance the coming
year's work of the Navy League of Canada.
