Opposition leader Rowell
Visits Different Points
Dealt Ste.-- Mr. Rowell, has been
down to the Maritime Provinces and to
Montreal making addresses on the war
and urging upon Canadians a ,greater
realization of the responsibility of this
country in connection with the
European struggle, Some of the sub-
jects of. Mr. Rowell's speeches have
beet i"Brittaaic vs, Germanic Ideals of
Empire, "Canada and the War,"
"Democracy vs, Militarism" and "The
Churches and the War, la addition to
his speeches in Nova Scotia, New
Brunswick and Quebec. Mr Rowell
has also addressee a number of meet-
ings in Ontario on the same themes.
His itinerary on his Eastern trip was
as follows :-
Friday, Jan, 29, Moncton Canadian
Club.
Saturday, Jan. 30, Halifax Canadian
Club,
Sunday, Jan. 3r. Mt. Alliston Uoi
versify�and Methodist church, Sack-
ville, N. B,, an "The Churches and
the War.".
Monday, Feb, 1, St. John Canadian
Club
Tuesday, Feb. 2, Montreal Canadian
Club.
We thought you might be interested
in one or two comments which have
been made on Mr. Rowell's speeches on
the war,
The Canadian War for example, a
non partisan paper published in 'lbroato
says editorially, "It is bare jnstiee to
say that Mr. Rowell has in his speeches
shown more realization of what we are
up against than any other political lead
er who has recently spoken. His
speech at Hamilton in which be appeal-
ed for more and more recruits and cell-
ed for united campaigns for them similar
to what theyhave baaad still have to
the O'd Land, displayed more states
manship and patriotism, more of the
essence of unity and of the promise of
vie'p-y than anything which bas been
uttered in Ontario for many days. His
responsibility for striving for unity is no
wbit greater than th.r. of e9ery other
man each 1o.Ws own sphere,
Me Hamilton Herald. Independent,
said -'•Mr, Rowell's speech on Satur-
day was not merely fervently patriotic
bat was practical also. He set forth
the obligations of Canadaa t - the
Em-
pire in the present war and the obli-
gations of Canadian men of military age
to volunteer tbeir services. Such
speeches as that of Mr. Rowell's are
needed to arouse our young meu to the
needs of the situation and to the real-
ization of their own obligations.

RACE POISONING
To the Editor of Ten POET :
Sir -Is it true that the white race
are being slowly poisoned off the
face of the earth that r
met r a e
growing smaller, disease increasing,
doctors and drugstores multiplying,
the insane increasing nut of all pro-
portion to the increase of population,
and the weaklings and nt1ftt threaten-
ing to equal to number those who are
able to take care of themselves ? Is
it true that the moderate drinker who
probably has never been chunk may
leave behind him a race of weaklings
on account'ol' his self indulgence? Is
it true that where prohibition rohibitiun hoe
been pretty well enforced ced for a num-
ber of years
urn•berofyears that 11e insane the weak-
minded and the idiots have .decreased
111 wonderful -manner? Is it true
that many of the great .nations of
Europe have becometre srr
alarmed at
the degeneracyat

bythe use of
intoxicants that they are trying by
masters, handbills
111 1 1ite 3041
other means to

If these serious statetneuts are evert
half true and they are 'wholly -true,
what kind of people. ate -we that do
not rise in a mass as the people did in
Russia and demand that cutis poison-
ing of the nation shall cease. It is
very hutniliuting to find that nations
that we have been calling "Heathen"
have more care for the national wel-
fare and Stability than we. China
