Provincial Poppy Connnittee) The symbolism of the poppy, the sorrowial appropriateness of its 'blood -red ,bloom, takes on a •deeper significance with eaCb succeeding year. The great war is passing almost into legend; a generation is 'bequeath- ed the duty of carrying into tail years that have yet to come, the work and the ideals of those whom the poppy commemorates. Canada, along with the whole 'Em- pire, has adopted the poppy as a symbol for remembrance .day, because of the ftecto graves in France and Belgium in which lie the clead of the 'preceding generation; +becaase of the .1170,000 Canadians to whom the con- flict brought disablement af otto kind or another. The crosses in the cem- eteries of Flanders are garlanded with poppies, dolorous emblems of a rta- tion's youth consumed in the "wrath - red forge of war."

No. 6—THE ONTARIO GOVERN- MENT'S APPEAL DISMISSED Sub,,equent to the decision previ- ously related of the Supreme Court of Canada. the Ontario government asked leave of the Privy Council to enter an appeal front that decision. ln doing so they sent to England body of material contained in the ',Return they had prepared for the Supreme. Court of Canada dealing with the claim that the Canada Tem- perance At was ultra vires. The Su- preme Court had decided that under the submis.sion of the Dominion gov- ernment it could not deal with the question of the validity and this evi- dence therefore fell to the ground. Recognizing that its tenor was calcu- lated to prejudice the mind of the English jurists, Mr. Rowell made ap- plication to. the Registrar of the Su- prente Count who ordered the return of the docements and the excision of this matter. Shortly afterward a legal action of very, peculiar aspect occurred at Cookeville in Peel County. A Mr. Varley. who ha.d purchased sonie li- quor in Toronto, took it into the hotel at Cooksville and quite openly consumed it in the rotenda, Two pol- icemen were conveniently present and promptly arrested hint. He was charged under the Liquor Control Act with .consmning liquor in a Pub- lic place. Tae Moderation [League •cle- fended hint, Mr. ,Greer, its president, conducting the case, while Mr. Sedg- wick (then of the Attorney-Geeeral's Department and who had attacked the Canada Temperance Act in the Supreme. Couet hearing), •conclactecl the prosecution. The magistrate con- victed Mr. Varley of a ;breach .08 the Liquor Control Act. , The. :Moderation League appealed from the decision to the G01111 ty ledge. At the hearing, the same legal representatives appeared. Argument re the validity of the Canada Temp- erance Act and much af the mater- ial contained in the ,Ontario govern- ments Factum prepared •for the Su- preme Court and recalled from Eng- land, was rehashed. It is un.derstood the counsel were agreed that if one Act obtained the ,other could not be operative, a conclusion that wholly conifiicts with precedent and practice ifor many years. In delivering judgment, the jadge resorted to a somewhat unusual pro- cedure. He refused the appeal, but in doing so rendered a lengthy judg- ment in which he held that the Can- ada Temperance Act was ultra vires. It would appear that the Varley case was a planned affair with the gov- ernment and the Moderation League co-operating, and it is suggested that the original purpose was to put the government's argument on the ques- tion of the validity of the Canada Temperance Act on the legal records so that it might be cited as such in argument before the Privy •Council. The .decision of 'Judge Grout (now deceased) was very welcome to the Ontario government and Mr. Hep- burn began immediately to .use it in an Attempt to jastify his attitude and his action in ignoring the Canada Temperance Act, despite the fact that on two accasione the Canada Temp- erance Act had been held valid by the highest legal authority, the Privy Council, and that the .decision of a county ;judge on a question of .consti- tutionality is in itself of very ,little legal weight. As the time far the hearing of the government's appeal to the Privy Council .drew near it ibecame evident that the governmen•t was not at all ,confident of its case. V‘Then the bear- ing was ,called its'representative ask- ed to be allowed "to withdraar" the appeal. The legal representative of The Ontario Temperance 'Federation and the three counties refused to C011 - sent to this procedure. The reason far this attitude was that such a 'course left the way open for the government to revive the action at any time if they chose. After same transatlantic canal:ha- tions the ease was "dismissed" with the assent of the Ontario, govern- ment. "Dismissed" inea.ns that that •particalar action is 'finally disposed of and cammt be revived. The lOntario government thus failed in its action and the decision of the Supreme nor( still stands though Mr. Hen - burn continues to ignore It and con- tinues to violate the law of the land. ,
