There are probably other converts to

This country does not like the
Knights. It likes the nights so little_

THE PROHIBITION REFERENDUM
The Ontario Govertunent's refer-
endum proposals were announced
in the Ontario Legislature by Sir
William Hearst on Monday, The
Prime Minister, contrary to expec-
tations, did not bring down the leg-
islation upon which the referendum
Will be based, but in a lengthy
statement he gave the House a deer
outline of what the legislation will
' be. The Government's policy may he
summed up under two heads: its
referendum proposals and its policy
of Ownership and control in the
period that must elapse before the
will of the people can be fully ex-
pressed, The Government, in pur-
suance of the announcement made
by the Prime Minister several
'neonths ago-, will bring in legislation
providing for the taking over of the
business of selling liquor under the
Ontario Temperance Act, the es-
tablishment of distributing 'ware-
houses and agencies in various parts
of the province.
$o much for the temporory policy.
The policy for the future will depend
upon the vote of the people, for the
four questions which Sir William an-
nounced will be submitted to the
people Will record public opinion ab-
solutely. If the people vote for the.-
* continuance of the On-hrio Temperance
Aet that Act will stay upon the statute
books. If at the gametime they
give a majority for the sale of light
beer in standard hotels after a vote by
the :municipal electors, ameadments
will be made to the Ontario, Temper-
ance.Act to make such sale Possible.
The other two questions will be
in exactly the same position. If the
people give a majority vote fee one
or the other that one will be made
effective. Thus it is possible, though
not probable, that the province, by
its vote, may say it wants the Ontario
Temperance Act amended to permit
the sale of light beer in sealed- pack-
ages, in Government agencies, in the
standard hotels over the bar, and
spirituous liquors generally in, Govern-
ment agencies. A full vote on all
four questions is assured by the simple
plan of requiring the elector to vote
on every question or have his ballot
_ thrum out. .
• The Prime Minister gave the House
a positive statement that there would
be no .change in the prohibition fea-
tures of the Ontario Temperance Act
.until the vote has been taken. Just
when that will be cannot be stated at
present, but it will probably be in
September or October, and certainly
not later than November. The date is
to be fixed by order-in-Comicil.
The Questions: To Be- Submitted.
1—Are you in favor of the repeal of
the Ontario Temperance Act?
2—Are you in favor of the sale of
lightbeer, containing not more than
2 .51-100 alcohol weight measure,
through Government agencies and
amendinents to the Ontario Temper-
ance Act -to permit such 'sale?
3—Are you in favor of, the sale a
light beer containing not more than
a 51400 per cent. alcohol weight
meakire in standard hotels in kcal
municipalities that by a majority vote
fever such sale and amendments_ to
the Ontario Temperance Act te per-
mit such sale?
4—Are you' in favor of the sale of
spirituous and malt liquors through
Government agencies and amendments
to the Ontario Temperance Act to
permit euch Sale?
KNIGHTHOOD NOT IN FLOWER
i it hood—f or Cana dians—is not
1.0*,.er the days. There is reason
to believe that Mr. Nickles anti-
kinghthood resolution, when it comes
up—if It ever does, cannot be headed
off, as it was last time, by a peevish
want -of -confidence bluff on the part
of Premier Borden.
As a matter of fact want of confid-
ence in Union Government is not an
unknown quantity throughout the
country and therefore Union Govern-
ment would be ill advised to take
-chances with want -of -confidence mo-
tions. It is just conceivable that
Parliament might take Premier Bor-
den at this ward and jolt him and his
associates off the job. Above all
Union Government should avoid risks
with the knighthoods. The world has
just been made safe for democracy
and this country is more than ever
confittened in its opinion that the tin
pat stuff is no .good.
1 Rumor leas it that there are still
'mime nobs in Canada who would like
:to be knights some day, but consider-
ing that there are about eight million
other people who are opposed to titles,
it
is not likely that the tuft hunting
few will get their way. Only the other
- day two red -tabbed gentlemen in the
Maitre, Department shook the dust of
Ottawa off their feet in some dudgeon.
Their itemised titles had been so long
delayed that their hearts were sick.
They had been expecting the stroke
every morning for a year iniet and
Knight does not fit into our democracy
He is indeed, a serious menace to oar
life as a nation. He has only one eye

.
givers in England. -
I am instructed that the Mother
Country has run out of K.C.M
K.R.'s and other big pota-
toes for the colonials and all that she
has on hand .now is 0.B.E.'s which is
the mere spinaeh of aristocracy and
not worth having. That being the
case we can very well cut the Knight-
hoods out It will be for the good of
our national health to say, good-bye
to titles which are a disease of elemoc-
•racy—the syniptoms pride conceit,
and vanity,the three grand, divisions
of the social L. The rich men want
to pose as gentlemen, while the offici-
ally great want to pose as persons of
imperial significance The rich man
'wants the stamp on, his dollars'While
the big. wig wants the same stanep on
higi mediocre talents It is the weak
spot of democracy that we are all
so fond of, equality that everybody
wants -to be an inch higher than
everybody else. We have proclaimed
equality and have thereby declared the
rights of the envious. This country
has many second-rate ambition that
would fain be esteemed first. Such is
the philosophy of this curse of
Knighthood.
The peesent status of the title pro-
blem in Canada is this. No more
hereditary titles are to be granted.
Hereditary titles now held in Canada
are to expire with their present Weat-
ekS—so far as Canada is concerned.
Of.course if Sir Joseph Flavelle wants
to take his baronetcy to t ngland and
live in a part of the world where
baronets have twig been a featare of
the 'social scenery there is no reason.
. why the Flavelle dynasty shouldn't go
"on forever like a string of eausages.
'But if he stays here the son and.heir
will, be plain Mr. with -no trimmings.
Even in England titles will not be
safe very long, because there is a sort
of Bolshevik reaction- against thie
arrogant feudal anachronism in a
world which has fought a great war
and upset two dozen kings. It is a Safe
bet that twenty-five years -from now—
the Labor party making head—the
inan- who-edlls himself a Lord in Eng-
land will look foolish and th one who
calls himself 'a knight in Canada, a
damned sight mere so.
At all (events we have ken* the last
of the baeons and the baronets. We
Were never in great danger from them
because the titles usually cancelled
themselves—the Downing street palicy
being to put the barren in baronet as
far as possible. Now that our law has
stamped them out also we can feel
Pretty sure that we shall no longer be
eroubled with the nuisance, Of bareas
we have only three in captivity at
present—one. Lord Aylmer en a fruit
ranc,h in British Columbia and two,
Lord Shaughnessy and Lord Atholstaa
n Montreal, a city which has in time
past beim prolific af barons. Lord
Shaughnessy's title puts a golden•
edge in the C. P. R. dividend and Lard
Atholstan is as good as the absent
being Graham bred. We can 'forgive
them,'
The baronets we do not forgive so
readily because --well because as e
class they are responsible for Sir
Joseph Flavelle who has so srieared
his bacon profits with prayer that we
are a little sick al the stomach.. Sir
Joseph's "special brand of piety gets
all the other baronets in wrong. As
consumers we don't mind being robbed
—we're used to that—but we hate to
be gassed at the :same time.
However. as 1 said before, barons
and baronets are stretched from DOW
on. There remain the knights some
one hundred and fifty actual and as
many more yearning. Parliament ought
to do something about it this session—
something to scotch it for good.
Knighthood has been a hard_ thing to
escape in Canada. What with New
Year's honor lists, Kings, Birthday.
honor lists and Dominion Day' lists,
the calendar is more than crowded
with winter Knights, Spring Knights,
and midsummer Knights. The only
nighte we can call our own are Autumn

stars. Even the jewelled firmament
had got, the habit—and gone in for

The Who' Who and What For of
Caaadian Knighthood would be a jest
bodk to make a dog laugh. One old
boy, as rremembeeegot it for playing
a royal flush. His specialty was cem-
sumptive sanitariums. The first one
he called, the King Edward Sanitarium
the second the Queen Alexandra San-
itarium, the third the Queen Mary
Sanitarium, and he was just about to
fill his hand with a King George Sani-
tarium when Knighthood. trumped in
and stopped the game.

GODERICH
Death of Dr. Strang.—Hugh fano.
Strang, B A., LL.D.'one of the out-
standing educatiohists of the province
and for over half a century one of the
most influential members of the teach-
ing profession of Ontario, died at his •
late home in G4derich, on Friday, April
4th,' at the a of seventy-eight. Dr.
Strang retired from, active work last
year and during the winter had been
in failing • health. Dr. Strang first

• residence in GoderiPewhen he was
made head master of the Goderich

grow until it becalne a collegiate inst-
itute, with a staff of seven teachers
and a full quota of departments'. For
over a quarter of a century, he giuided
the destinies of the shook After
his retirement from' the principal-
ship he retained charge of the depart-
meat- of classics for nearly another
quarter of a century, retiring from ac-
tive duties as a teacher in 1917-18. The
Collegiate board shortly after his re-
tirement voted him an honorarium of
$500, acdompanied by an illuminated
address. He was consulted freely by
the department of education, on
changes of curriculum and, was in-
trusted by the department to prepare
text books on English. The degree
of LL.D. was coeferred in 1906 in
recognitiorrof Dr. Strang's services %-
preparing. so many students for. the
university and as a mark of apprecia-
tion of -his serviees generally in the
educational field. At this time the

School and Collegiate held a reunion
• here and there was a most remarkable
gathering of distinguished sons of
Goderich educational institutions Sur-
