Sir. Akin Aylesworth, Toronto: - "I have been voting now` for more than fj£ty years in parliamentary elections, and I have never given' a Conservative vote, but I am going tie do so this year, because think that any measure of prohibition by law as opposed to prohibition by education 1s the very reverse of what I have always considered were the true principles of Liberalism. As well might eine try to advance the interest of religion or of Christian- ity by legiela.tion thatwould compel the people to go to church." Professor Alfred Bakelr, University of Toronto: "The O.T.A. has proved a failure, conceived though it was with the beat intentions and administered by Attorneys -General who, earnestly desired its success. Ic has not stopped the use of liquor; there has grown a contempt for the law; it has created a class of bootleggers who have been enriched beyond the dreams of avarice. Surely it is ' tithe to make a change!" Hon. R. B. Bennett, H.C.; M.P.; Ex -Minister of Finance, Calgary, Alberta: "'Not only has the Alberta Act been declared to be legally valid, but inepragtice it does control the liquor traffic in that province. The best proof ref What can bedone is what has been done, and in the language of one of the judges of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the province in which I reside—'I think the present Liquor • Control Act a good and sound one, andhas done more in the direction of temperance than any law we hitherto have had.' " Lt. -Col. Arthur L. Bishop, St. Catharines, Ont.: "No good can come from arbitrary and hysterical measures. The O.T.A. has proved unforceable oven under two such dry Attorneys - General as Mr. Nickle and Mr. • Ratiey, and where they have failed no one else will succeed. We are facing facts, not theories. I think Government Control shpuld be gi en a fair trial in Ontario, as it has been in the West. and I believe the result will be equally satisfactory." Col. Herbert A. Bruce, M.D., L.R.C.P., Toronto: "It is not a question of "dry" or "wet"; it is a question of another Temperance Act against one that has been tried and found wanting. I. consider Mr. Ferguson's proposal reasonable and enforceable, and therefore a great advance on the old Act. As such it should have the support of every one sincerely interested in furthering the Temperance cause and reducing the evils of drunkenness," Police Magistrate C. H. Burgess, Peel County: "My view of the matter is that the sale of liquor is out of control and is running wild (under the O.T.A.), and It is necessary to try to bring it under control again." Rev. Father J. E. Burke, C.S.P., St. Peter's Roman Catholic Church, Toronto: "It (the O.T.A,) has been no blessing. During the years it has been on our Statute Books the youth of Ontario, with singular and beautiful exceptions, has gone back. The terrifying increase in liquor amongst our boys and girls, even of tender years; the consequent deterioration of moral standards and conduct; the curse of the boot- legger; the conquest by strong liquor of our parents, our homes, our clubs, our students, our gatherings, have been begotten and thrived under the sway of prohibition." fr. L. N. Byrns, former Treasurer Sarna Prohibition Union, Sarnia, Ont.: "There are two questions before the electors in this campaign: (1) will we continue Government control under the Ontario Temper- ance Act, as we have had it for the last few years, whereby any person wanting liquor can buy all he likes from the bootlegger, or (2) will we have it controlled so that a person can only buy it through a Govern- ment commission house, where a person has got to have a permit to buy it, and then only a certain quantity at a time? I am not a staunch Conservative; I have voted Liberal when I deemed it wise, but will not this time." Col. R. H. A. Carman, Belleville, Ont.: 'Z am convinced the people have Been enough to lead them to decide they would rather have the distribution of liquor by Government regulation than by the unscrupulous bootlegger." Bon. and Reverend H, J. Cody, LL.D., D.D., Toronto: "The great achievements of the control plan, In my estimation, consist of the following: In the first place, people were no longer thinking and talking incessantly about getting a drink; in the second place, there was an overwhelming public opinion behind the enforce- ment of the Act where in the past public opinion had been strongly divided and illegal traffic had flourished because resorted to by a con- siderable section of the public; in the third place, bootlegging on a large scale was enormously diminished." Draper Dobie, Toronto: "Having voted Liberal in the last general election, and dry in the first two referendums, why have I decided to vote Tor Premier Fer- guson's Government and policy? It is because On rio wants more business and less taxes, more honesty and less deceitfulness, more breadth of education a.nd less narrowness of parochialism, more self- respect and less fear." W. J. Fair, Kingston, Ont.: "When the late Principal Grant was at Queen's University he convinced me as probably no other man could of the pernicious evils of prd'hibitlon. Those like myself who remember Principal Grant, will agree with me when I speak of his far-seeing vision, his profound scholarship, and his true appreciation of human values. I believe pro- hibition is the blackest spot on the whole history of the Province of Ontario." Clara C. Field, Cobourg, Ont.: "Speaking from a woman's standpoint, I fear very much the result our present system of controlling the liquor question will have on the character of our young people, who are growing up in an atmosphere of reckless law -breaking and deceitful living. Will it be possible for them to have those feelings of patriotism they should have if they feel a contempt for the laws of their country? I feel I oan certainly endorse Mr. Ferguson's policy as a sincere endeavor to solve a per- plexing problem." Sir Joseph Novelle, ]Bart., Toronto: "If the respouslhility were mine I would not choose Government control as now Stated as a reform for existing evils. I believe, however. there is a weight of public opinion which demands a change in the existing law, and which will not he set aside by the present hesitating body of public opinion for its enforcement. Therefore, with the elim- instion of the legal sale of liquors in public houses of entertainment. I accept the sale of liquors through Government agencies only, under a system of permits, as probably the hest obtainable change enforcible. Hader the existing state of public opinion." Rev. T. W. Goodwill, Presbyterian Church, Cobourg, Ont.: "T believe the O.T.A. to be a failure, but 1n this election campaign I regard the Act not as a pnittleal teem, hnt a moral issue; not a question of lack of enforcement but rather of inrpoesibiltty of enforce- ment. I find conditions under the Ontario Temperance Act to be much worse than they were before. I believe that Premier Ferguson Is making a sincere and studied effort to secure a law that will be Observed and 'one that can be enforced."

Mr. F. BarryHayes, Pres., Toronto Carpet Mfg. Co., Toronto: "lay impreaslon of prohibition is that whereas the country gener- ally: thought it,would be very much to its intexiests, it hue only resulted ' ir} making many lion our citizens hypocrites and law -breakers. This is having a very had: effect generally, -Drinking in our cities and larger towns has certainlyincreased to an alarming extent. I am not a `wet', but I ani not ins savor of repressive legislation. The idea of making people good by Bute is a delusion." Rev. Father C. 1.: Killeen, Belleville, Ont.: "I view with;:a great deal of concern the increase in lawlessness and crime that prohibition has engendered. it leads to a spirit of dis- trust. It 1s no use Baying to the people 'You cannot have liquor.' Those who want it will get Lt. Fifty-one per cent of the people cannot impose their will on the other forty-nine per cent" Rev. John Lyons, M.A., Church of England Rector: "After studying the situation I have become convinced tbat Pre- mier Ferguson's policy is the best solution yet placed before the people of Ontario to adequately deal with the liquor problem." Ven. Archdeacon' fackintos1t, Dundas,' Ont.: "You never heard of the Prohibitionists of the Provinces which have Government +Control asking for a change to what we call a pro- hibition law. It shows that they are satisfied with the law, and feel that it is useless to ask for a change." J. C. Makins, K.C., Stratford, Ont.: "In a very large percentage, of the cases 1n my experience con- tested in court in these districts (Waterloo County and Windsor Bor- der), perjury hasebeen committed. This is one feature that our so- called 'temperance', friends seem to overlook. In this respect the cure seems worse than the disease." Rev. W. G. Martin,' Pilgrim United Church, Brantford, Ont.: "No man, unless he is blind, can say with sincerity that the O.T.A- as a prohibition measure has been the success we hoped and believed Lt would be, when it became.law. The more I consider the question the more convinced I am that the bringing about of prohibition, an ideal towards which we are all stri-ing, and to which we are committed as men and women, eager for thRebest moral interest of the community and of the state, is a process of education. It is the responsibility of the home, the school, and the church." D. L. McCarthy, ler., Toronto: "The Ontario Temperance Act has undoubtedly abolished the bar, but unfortunately, instead of having one bar in a hotel') we now have rooms in hotels converted into private bars.' C. G. McGhie, Vice -President, Welland Vdttle Mfg. Co., St. Catharines, Ont:: "Not only labor,, but the country as a whole, will be better under Government control. I strongly endorse the Ferguson policy." Major-General the Hon. S. C. Mewburn, Hamilton, Ont.; "I unhesitatingly state that in my opinion the policy of the Govern- ment control of liquor, as it is now stated by the Prime Minister, is sound and :n the best interest of all the people of the Province. I have lately been in the Provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia. . . This is what I have learned. The people who were strongly in favor of prohibition will without any qualification whatever say now that since Government control of liquor has come into force they would never for one moment go back upon their present legislation." ContioUer William Morrison, Hamilton, Ont.: "There is more alcohol drunk in Hamilton now than at any time in the city's history." as William Mulock, S.C., Toronto: "I have no hesitjiop in telling the people of Ontario that I fayor Government control in preference to the O.T-A., and that I will support the policy of the Ferguson Government" Mrs. Emily Murphy (Jany Caauck), Police Magistrate, Edmonton, Alberta: "Before Government control became the law of Alberta I opposed it vigorously, both on the' platform and by my pen. I was fearful that our last state would be worse than our first. It seemed only logical that if the restrictions were removed there would be more drunkenness and crime. No living person could persuade me to the contrary, "After a period of several years in which I have been called upon to enforce the present Liquur Control Act, both as a city and provincial magistrate, I am batnd to acknowledge that my fears were largely unfounded. There was not even a rush of inebriety as I had predicted, the people showing a remarkable degree of restraint. The condition was sseadtly improved—again I say, not from any degree of spiritual enrichment on the part of our people—but because the law was well conceived and is being well enforced." Dr. G. J. Musgrove, Temperance Candidate in 1919, Niagara Fails, Ont.: "Before 1916 we had 15 bars and liquor stores in Niagara Falls; now we have double that number of bootleggers. The Provincial Police and the License Tn:l.'•ctors have been very active In endeavoring to enforce the Ontario Temperance Act, but it is really impossible to do so. I an nut only PI facer of Mr. Ferguson's policy, but I particularly+ endorse the provision that no permit shall be given to persons under 21 years of age " Mr. Paul J. Myler, Pres. Canadian Westinghouse Co., Hamilton, Ont.: "As a large employer of labor I see no possibility of room for complaint 1n Ontario when a man shall be allowed a bottle of beer id his own house. Long experience with our men in this company 1s good enough for me on this point." J. G. Notman, Vice -President McKinnon industries, St. Catharines, Ont.: "We havr as much trouble now with our labor as we had before prohibition came Into efrect. There are the same Monday and Tuesday difficulties, but now they are due to poisoned alcnhni. Our men would be much better if they could have good beer when they want It. Government control as they have it in the West is what we should have in Ontario." Col. W. N. Ponton, K.C., Belleville: "As a lawyer I know that the sad fact cannot he controverted, that in liquor 'Jise! under the 'repressive 0 T.A. truth has Inst its ancient power. Thr administration of justice has been honeycombed by perjury and the oath has lost its sanctity, despite the conscientlnus and able efforts of inagistrates, Crown attorneys and police officers who have done their hest to Mem the tide of revolt. Where the law ends, tyranny begins. Th,• O.T.A. is despotic, arbitrary and against the will of the citizens of Canada. A wise law is 'the state's collected will.' The O.T.A. never was. Under the O.T.A. we are all treated as children and weak- lings and criminals." Dr. A. Primrose, D'mi of Medicine, Toronto University: "They (the mrdical doctors) are legally permitted to issue a definite number of prescriptions each month, the inference heing that the number of sick folk requiring alcohol should not exceed that number, and the doctor if he keeps within that limit is safe from adverse criticism. The present situation is intolerable. The medical profession must be released from such undignified servitude," out' .Orel �l a �'y�.�.+P1+', '.+`17`•t'r'V`��c�+��"�'�41� ^. �'C '�dh yl.�•f 4 -� ".Nin .. Dr.F lAr , F.

Temple, M.R.C.S., LL.D.:, Past Nesidezat Ontario Medical Association, Toronto: °'There is one fact that is very prominent in ,nee mind afld;'. I think might. well be 'emphasized—that is the great 'Jbtmreane,,;. use of narcotics in the last three or four years. The ngan, addicted to liquor has switched in many casee to drugs. W7xlle tint -Tr is always hope for the drunkard, it is almost impossible to ,pu>i "tile drug addict The O.T.A. was much too sweeping in ita pfoviS1onat;": Most Rev. G. Thorneloe, D.D., D.C.L., Archbishop ofAlgoma, and Metropolitan of Ecclesiastical Province Of Ontario,191 : "There is in human nature a sense of freedom which must be respected. All these considerations have to be weighed by the Govern . ment, and I have very great hope that the measures proposed by° Premier Ferguson will be found, if carried out, to be a very great improvement on what we have been experiencing the past few years," Sir Charles Tupp tr, Winnipeg: "The reasons that convince me most firmly that Premier, Ferguson's policy will prove a great boon for the people of Ontario+ are based on my observation of the great success of liquor control in. Manitoba. Control in Manitoba has brought about the following three, great improvements: there is less drinking by both young and old,." particularly by the young; control has created a higher moral tone is the community at large; it has also brought about a. decidedly higher' respect for law." L. A. Van Skiver, formerly Inspector Children's Aid Society, Picton, Ont.: "I have been an ardent prohibitionist all my life. But in the itierberge of my duties as Inspector for the Children's Aid Society I came across conditions that im,preseted me with their seriousness. In almost every case of destitution which came under my observation I found that bootlegging was the cause. .I do not believe in changing my prohibition beliefs that I am taking a retrograde step. Prohibition. means war." Rev. Frank Vipond, Streetaville, Ont.: "I am not afraid to express the conviction that the greatest enemies of Christian temperance, of sobriety, and of the upbnilding of strong Christian character hve not been the breweries and dis- tilleries, but official and fanatical prohibitionists who have been will- ing to make of the Christian faith a leaser thing than that of the• Mahometan." H. S. White, H.C., President Ontario Bar Association, Toronto: "I am satisfied that - there is in the province no such thing alai prohibition under it (the O.T.A.,), for the simple reason that every, 'person who wants liquor can get It without difficulty. I believe that. the Premier and the Government have followed the only proper course open to them in asking the people for a mandate to remove our affliction from ns." Rt. Hon. Sir Thomas White, K.C.M.G., Toronto: 'That the Ontario Temperance Act is not capable of adequate+ enforcement, lacktn'g as it does the strong support of public opinion_ must by this time be clear to all who have given any study to the. subject The time has arrived to so amend it as to prevent and limit,. as far as possible, the evils o1 intemperance under a system o1 Gov- ernment control, having a firmer support of public opinion, and under regulations which will not lead to the evils which for the past seven years have been inseparably connected with the administration of the O.TA" Col. Rev. Cecil G. Williams, Dominion Secretary, Navy League of Canada: "Should I steal. cordmit forgery or break any other law in Canada. except that of the O.T.A., I am punished and upon my release ignored. until I have rehabilitated myself, by those who know me, because they] are sympathetic to and upholders of'the law. But if I violate the O.T.A. and am punished for the same according to law, I have the sympathy of my friends, showing that they hold the law in contempt Very' different is the treatment extended in the two instances. The law should be the same from coast to coast for individuals and all classes, and until It is I cannot see the righteousness or the practicability of the O.TA" Most Rev. David Williams, Archbishop of Huron and Metropolitan of Ontario, London, Ont.: 'It (the O.T.A-) has done more to encourage deceit and subterfuge, more to demoralize the youth of the country and to create a general disrespect for law than all the other causes combined during the tea years of its existence. Government Control, with individual permits, le the only sane system." Levi Williams, Police Magistrate, Piston, Ont.: "All my life I have been a temperance advocate. But when I saw not only how the law itself wan being disregarded by people who were not addicted to law -breaking hut by the actual pet -version of the process of justice, I felt there must he some changes. I have been magistrate in Picton for 18 years, and what has struck me recently is the limits that people will go to perjure themselves when faced with charges of violating the hntario Temperance Act" Sir John Willison, Toronto: "7 wan wholly unprepared for the unanimity of opinion expressed in Laver of Government Control. Again a.nd again I vers told by these who had opposed the system and voted for prohibition in plebiscites and referendums that conditions were better under centro) and that they would not vote to restore the prohibitory enactments.

FOR TRUE TEMPERANCE BEESWAX WORTH MORE PER POUND THAN HONEY Wax is a-ealuable produce of the hive too often allowed td go to waste in many apiaries. Pound, for pound beeswax lit more `'',Valuable 'then honey. and the demand for this commodity is greaterr than the supply, therefore, it is to the advantage of every bee- keeper to see that none is lost, says G. B. Gooderham, Dominion Apiarist. Wax is originally produced through certain glands in the bodies of the bees, and is used by them for Build- ing comb and the capping over of brood and honey; therefore, every piece of comb taken from the hives and the cappings that are removed from the combs at extracting time, contain a certain amount of wax. in large apiaries, especially thoge !'tin for extracted honey, the accumulaw tion eappinge, betoken or disoardi ed combs, . adventitious comb and scrapings from frames and hives may yield several hundred pounds of wax; while in smaller apiaries the amount may be cornp'aratively small, yet enough to warrant the saving of it.
