Schedule H. Report of the Board of License Commissioners for Ontario
for the year 1918.
0 NTARIO'S experience with prohibition under the Ontario Tern-
perance Act since September 16. 1916, has been all the argument
any fair-minded man or woman wants, for prove that the Act
should neither be repealed nor weakened by Amendments.
Jail Commitments for crimes and offences of all kinds have decreas-
ed more than one-third since 1915.
Jail Commitments for drunkenness alone decreased from 6,235 in
1915, the year preceding the Act, to 2,595 in 1918.
Jail Commitments for drunkenness decreased despite the fact that the
Act makes drunkenness in public places a "prima facie" offence, punish-
able by fine or imprisonment, whether accompanied by "disorderli-
ness" or not. A drunken roan on the street has become a rare sight.
The number of commitments for drunkenness in Ontario in 1918 was
the lowest in seventeen years, although the population of the Province
increased by over 500,000.
Some jails received no drunkards in 1918 at all. Others show well
nigh unbelievable decreases, notably in the cities and larger towns.
Do you want to see the taste for alcoholic beverages revived, and the
population of Ontario's prisons, jails and lock -ups restored ?
If you are convinced that drunkenness is undesirable in this Province
mark X in the "No" column after each question.

An old man from the country
would exot believe that he could.
tear hies wife talk a. distance of 15
miles by telephone. His wife went,
to a neighboring city one day and
the old main went down town just
to sat.sfy himself by experimenting
with the telephone. He went do
the exchange office and told them
that he w alnted to talk to his wife.
They explailned how to operate the
pholne and the old man walked bol-
dly up and exclaimed '$Hello Jane'
At that instant lightning struck
the phone and knocked the old
man flat on the floor. As he
.scrambles to his feet he excitedly
cried, "That is Jane, by gosh."
