(Renfew Mercury ) After due consideration and careful , study of some of the advertisements being published by the Citizens' Liberty League in connection with the coming Referen- durn campaign. The Mercury has deci1. ed that it cannot conscientously accep tthe contract that was offered to it for this ad- vertising. While 411XiOUS to be fair to all parties in matters of public controversy, it has always been in the past, and will be in the future, contrary to the policy of The Mercury to accept paid advertising that is published in the interests of the liquor business. Despite the protest of The Liberty League we can see in their advertising nothing but a campaign to bring about a return to the old conditions that existed in Ontario in pre-war days. It is idle to talk in one paragraph about "Sane Liquor Legislation," and in another to advocate the "permitting of the general sale of non - intoxicating beer aud light wines a d the sale of spirituous liquors only through government agencies under proper restric- ions." The whole campaign of the Lib. erty League seems to be carefully design- ed with the idea of again bringing about the very conditions which they claim to be opposed to. ba their advertising they say they are absolutely opposed to a re- turn of the open bar as it previously exist. ed in Ontario under the old License Act and yet in the very next sentence they advocate the .repeal of the Ontario Temperance Act. Do they expect people to be misled by such smooth talk? They know very well that if the Ontario Tem- perance Act is repealed the Province auto, matically reverts to conditions as they ex- isted under the old License Act before the war. We are surprised that men of the standing of Sir Edmond Oster, Mr. 1. F. Hellmuth, K, C. and the others named as council and committee, would lend their names to such spacieus arguments. As we said before, The Mercury wants to be fair on all matters of public controv- ercy, and we will gladly publish letters for or against the carrying of the Referen- dum, written by local people and signed with their own names. But space in the advertising columns of The Mercury can- not be procured at any price to furthor the propaganda of a number of Toronto men who quite palpably want to undo all that the temperance people of this Prov incs have spent years in accomplishing.

A. rini.tA, (Copyright.) There is nothing deader than a dead town. Try as hard as it may to con- ceal the facts, the truth is written all over it so that he who runs may read. No camouflage of bluff and bluster can conceal the true situation from anyone who comes within the limits of the community. A dead town is dead and that's all there is to it. The worst of it is that once a town dies it stays dead. There have been exceptional cases in which dead towns have been revived, have taken on new life and prospered, but these are mere- ly the exceptions that prove the rule. The fact that a town can seldom "come back" is easily explained. The growing and prosperous town today Is the one that can attract new resi- dents and new capital. It is one that can offer attractive inducements for the location of new industries. The dead town offers no attraction to out- side capital. A man looking for place to launch a new business or a new location for an old hadustry, ix pot going to pick out a dead town. Ile Is going to select a town in which money is plentiful, a town whose busi- ness men ars progressioe arid whose residents, as a whole, are prosperous and Contented. There are too Many live, and thriving towns in the world for a men to risk his farina in one ; that is dead. This is the reason that a town, Once dead, alMost always re - matte dead. Town Like COrporatien. There is jrist One thing, ordinarily, that Wile a town itt the drat place and that is a lack of money. .a tornn. le just like a eorporation and the money pottsessed by its inbibitants is Ito (*V- ital. If thie Capital 1* depleted the Own will fell just AS the corporations Whose ettpitai is depleted through peer Management or other causes, f ails. And just is the eorporatlen alai& has , Learns HIS Faults. A. man moor realizes how man, Nolte he has until geta seandett-A, litra Ms talks hint . ram' tome -rn u -way AL-sr-T/11'ns'110 return, benefit to the community. It takes no great amount of thought to be able to realize that the town, like the individual, cannot last long if it is paying out more money than it takes in. That does not-meai that a prosperous town is one in which the people do not spend any money. On the contrary, a prosperous town is one in which the people do spend mon- ey but it is one in which they spend the money at home. As long as the money is spent at home, the town gains by having it kept in circulation, but when it is spent away from home, either by being sent to the mail order houses or by shopping trips to other cities, the town's capital is impaire,d to that extent and if enough money is Spent away from home in that way, the town collapses and virtually goes Into bankruptcy just as does the cor- poration which dissipates its capital. The people of a community are apt to overlook the fact that they are stockholders in their town and that their fortunes are bound up with those of the community as a whole. They do not realize that if their town fails they will fail with it. They—or many of them at leaet—send their money away to the mail order houses in the great cities, without realizing that they are impairing the capital of their own corporation and that if enough of them pursue that course they will force their corporation into certain bankruptcy. Merchants Not Only Ones Hurt Many customers" of mail ordex houses say that they are under no obligation to trade with their home merchants and this may be true. They overlook that fact thet the businese men of a town do much for their cam... munity and are entitled, in return for what they do, to the support of the people in the community, but leaving this out ot consideration, they over- took the fact that they are bringing about their own downfall when they drain their town of its money—its capital. The home merchant will not be the only one that will be hurt when the town "goes broke." The merchant can reduce his stock and cut down him expenses and get along some way or he can sell out and move to some oth- er town which has not been so blind to Its own welfare. It is the 44rent hotly of the people of the community Including all those who have Scut their money away to other cities instead of Spending it at home, that suffers most when the hard times come. The time for all the people to pull together for a live town is while the town la etill lire and not after it is dead, for when a town dies It le a long time dead—lf not forever. once foiled con Seldom retrieve its lost fintanes, the town vrIziCh haft failed Cannot Often "toga* htek."
