"This Must Stop" During the past week the I papers been carrying advertiser* sponsored by the Department of J ways and signed by Hon.

At the top of t" the copy of a School Children See Toronto Group of students from Peterboro, Ontario, schools viewing Toronto from the lofty balcony of the Royal York Hotel, with the Bank of Commerce in the background. Dr. A. J. Madill, of Peterboro Normal School, is acting as guide. This group was part of a large party of students on an educational one-day tour of Toronto, organized by the Canadian Pacific Railway. The Mail & Em- pire, praising the Canadian Pacific enterprise in conducting these tours said: -- "The railways are all the time experimenting to increase profitable traffic returns. In the single day all expense trip they have a plan which should appeal in. every way to the travelling public whether they are adults or children, and be reasonably profitable to the railway."

The ad*erti ment concludes with this, A ijk type: "This Must Stop." In Ontario, during 1934. th< nearly 10,000 automobile accidi people were killed and 8,990 were injured--a considerable over 1933. It musst be evidei thinking people that "This Must! With all this we are in perfect mert--it must stop. But, v if Mr. McQuesten has ever the matter with Mr. Odette. We are of the opinion that, if these two men got together and set about, honestly, to prevent accidents, they could very materially accomplish what the I partment of Highways desires. ie situation is ludicrous, were tragic. On one hnad there is Department of the Government which is doing its utmost to sell intoxicating liquor and make men drunk, on the other is Department of the same Government urging people not to drink. Greater inconsistency it is impossible to conceive. There might be some justification for Mr. McQuesten' appeal, if the the present Government weie, even in the slightest degree, trying to breed sobriety and self-eon-trol. But the very opposite has marked their dealings with the litmor problem, ever since they assumed office. The Prime Minister has brusquely brushed aside temperance workers as cranks and fanatics. The Govern ment has flouted public sentiment by placing liquor stores where they were not wanted. They have done everything within their power to push the sale of alcoholic beverage! liqu&r, not to drive a car until they havo sobered up. The "thinking people" to whom Mr. McQuesten appeals in the public, advertisements, will not take him very seriously until he and the Government of which he forms a part, show a little less desire to push the sale of intoxicating liquor and a little more interest in creating a sober and self-controlled electorate. Mr. McQuesten can't run with the hares and hunt with the hounds at the same time.-- Napanee Beaver. Miss Millie McGregor spent Tuesday last with Mrs. M. Warner.
