•It was not to be expected that the
"Poetess • of Lake Huron," Miss

so- important an event as the visit of

Pass without poetical' notice. So she
dedicated the following little poem,
to him, sending it to Quebec. And
"Prince Charming," with character-
istic courtesy, had the following let -
.ter .of thanks sent rbaek to her :
POEM

To the British crown ;.
Ilas come to our fair Canada •

Make a grander stride,
And may our Lord his voyage bless,
Over land and sea,

In all dignity."

From Annual Reports of Inspectors of Prisons 1915 and 1918, and
Schedule 1-1. Report of the Boatel of License Commissioners for Ontario
for the year 1918.
ONTARIO'S experience with prohibition under the Ontario Tem-
perance Act since September 16, 1916, has been all the argument
• any fair-minded man or woman wants, to prove that the Act
should neither be repealed nor weakened by Amendments.
Jail Commitments for crimes and offences of all kinds have decreas-
ed more than one-third since 1915.
Jail Commitments for drunkenness alone decreased from 6,235 in
1915, the year preceding the Act, to 2,595•in 1918.
Jail Commitments for drunkenness decreased despite the fact that the
Act makes drunkenness in public places a "prima facie" offence, punish-
able by fine or imprisonment, whether accompanied by "disorderli-
ness" or not. A drunken man on the street has become a rare sight.
The number of commitments for drunkenness in Ontario in 1918 was
the lowest in seventeen years, although the population of the Province
increased by over 500,000,
Some jails received no drunkards in 1918 at all. Others show well
nigh unbelievable decreases, notably -in the cities and larger towns.
Do you want to see the taste for alcoholic beverages revived, and the
population of Ontario's prisons, jails and lock -ups restored ?
If you are convinced that drunkenness is undesirable in this Province
mark X in the "No" column after each question.
