Sir William has taken a firm and manly stand in regard' to the enforcement of a dry Ontario and even though all his followers are not will- ing to abide by his rulings, yet has he not well merited ,the confidence of the major- ity of' right thinking people of Ontario We feel that the people are so well pleas- ed with the working of prohibition that, whether they be total abstainers or not, they will never vote to again allow the sale of liquors across the bar, We should also be surprised if after, under Hearst leadership, the ladies of Ontario receive the franchieee that they would not put party politics aside and show their ap- preciation of the right to vote by support- ing the man who was the means of their getting that privilege.

Many donations of articles useful in the home are being received, and the kindly interest mani- fested in various parts of the county is most encouraging.
