Grimsby i I do, however, publish the small clipping from the Toronto paperâ€" ‘and it follows: } Is Prohibifion Worth While! (Toronto Telegram) Sir:â€"I am a girl of eighteen, goâ€" ing to the University. I can‘t give imy nane and address for severeal rcasons. J4ut until three ye«.: ago I never knew whether there would be Our Editorial Policyâ€"and Business ! The Editor of a newspaper has ‘some job‘ «on his hands, steering clesr of shoals these days. I have, on my desk, two letters. One from a lady, I would udge by the writing, in which is sent me a little clipping, from a Toronto paper, in favor of prohibition, and accusing me of overlooking articlee of this kind, in my reading of tae Toronto daily papers. The other letter is from a strong antiâ€"prohibitionist, accusing me of doing something very wrong because we publish in the INDEPENDENT the advertisements sent out by the Ontario Referendum Committee. I do not publish the first letter, beâ€" c use she neglected to sign her name to itâ€"it seems strange to me that no matter how brave our prohiâ€" bitionist friends are, they very often are afraid to sign their names to what they write. : ar ylhing to eayt from one diur to anâ€" other, for the breadwinner in our family, though of the most kindly inâ€" tentions, was a victim of drink. He straightened up when the bars went out. That really brought Heaven inâ€" to our home. I had been taken out of high school on account of one of his lapses making it nmrecessary for me and my younger brother to go to work to maintain the family. Now we are both back at school â€"he at the Tech., I at the U. of T. For us prohibition is worth while. The ilttle girl calling herself ‘Gobâ€" licenseâ€"and the results from the unfortunately it does not cover the case as many men have found to their sorrow : hat it was just about as easy to get whiskey under prohiâ€" bition as it was to get beer under licenseâ€"and the result from the whiskey drinking were far more disâ€" astrous than the results from the beerâ€"drinking. Thousands of men refrained from drinking, under the license law; tens of thousands of men have been drunk, under prohibitionâ€"so. the question is still a controversarial one and little ‘Goblinette‘ might get lost if she went very far into it. ' The writer of this second letter would, if you were talking to him, pretend that he was in favor of Libâ€" erty and opposed to narrowâ€"minded, tyranny, but in his letter he shows that he is prejudiced to the worst deâ€" gree and is as narrowâ€"minded and bigoted as the most narrowâ€"minded and bigoted prohibitionist could posâ€" sibly be. . The other letter I refer to also came to my desk unsigned, but I publish it so show what an ass preâ€" judice can make qut of a man. If ‘Goblinette‘s‘ father wanted to drink, he could have gotten all the whiskey he wanted under prohibiâ€" tion, so that really the man saved himself, instead of being saved by prohibition. 4 I publish his letter in fullâ€"the adâ€" vertisement he refers to is one of the series of advertisements running in the INDEPENDENT and nearly all other Ontario papers, sent out by the Ontario â€" Referendum Committeeâ€" and paid for by them. It is surprising what a man will do for a little bit of dirty money, and how he will suddenly change his policy and turn tail when his hands are crossed with a little advertising "coln." I am certainly most surâ€" prised and disgusted at; the way an editor of a paper who expresses himâ€" self ferrlessly and. boldly and honâ€" estly egainst a perfidious, arrogant, hypocritical, crimeâ€"breeding measure like "prohibition" will turn around and publish an advertisement, exâ€" horting the public of the vicinity to vote for the same arbitrary measure. I know fifteen or sixteen other paâ€" pers who have absolutely refused to publish any such humbugging trash as is contained in this "ad", and it is with the deepest sorrow that my confidence has become shaken in the principles of your otherwise worthy paper. I should be sorry to cancel my furthre subscription to your paâ€" per, but 1 shall feel so compelled if any further such "ads" appear in it. Consistency! Thou art a jowel.

Both of these parties are trying to win an electionâ€"both of them are willing to pay money for publicityâ€" a n d GRIMSBY INDEPENDENT stands ready to give both of them an equal chance to buy that publicity| I, personally, am opposed to prohiâ€" bitionâ€"thousands of people in Onâ€" tario think I am rightâ€"and thousâ€" ands think I am wrong; but when it comes to advertising, I hold that each of these classes Of people has the same right to buy publicity as the other â€" class hasâ€"and writer of the unsigned letter, the GRIMSBY INDEPENDENT will conâ€" tinue to sell advertising space to all comers. To Editor, ‘"Independent", Grimsby. Kindly allow me space in your worâ€" thy paper to make a few remarks in reference to the meeting of the fruit growers association held the past week re scale of wages for fruit pickers. ¢ | I understand that the scale of wages for fruit pickers has ‘been Set at thirty cents for men and twenty cents for women per hour. To begin I think a woman can pick as much fruit as a man and sometimes more, therefore she should be paid the same wage. If there should be any difference made it should be in teâ€" gard to children. Where one can pick as much fruit as amother, why then cut the wage? f . _I think this hardly fair to expect any woman to work all day picking fruit under a broiling sun for the sum of twenty cents an hour. f I would like Mr. Editor, to ask the heads of the organization if their wives and daughters would do it, or would they think of allowing them to do it? A Well, I should think not. Why then should our wives and daughters be compelled to do it? I say comâ€" pelled, because there is no other work for them to do here. Many of our girls are today going to nearâ€" by cities for employment, simply because the hours are shorter, work much easier and wages bigger. How can you blame them, no of course not, put it to yourself? Can you unâ€" derstand how any girl or woman can dress and keep respectable on 20 cents an hour, when she has to pay $2.00 to $4.00 for a pair of stockings right "here in GRIMSBY". I would like to ask in the face Oof freedom and justice, is it right to offer men that wage while so many heads of the organization are getting such Another thing, Mr. Editor, the wages offered men is a disgrace and an insult from the very beginning. What »mount of ability would a man It has been suggested to. bring ‘Pollocks‘" to GRIMSBY to pick fruit should our women refuse that paltry offer of 20 cents per hour. All I can see is cheap labor, it should be "Pollocks" that should work for noâ€" thing, not our Canadian girls and women. have to show to claim 30 cents an hour? Everyone knows how â€" hard farm life is, this is known in our cities at present. Why are not some of our unemployed working on OuUr farms today, simply because of the paltry wage that is offered them. I would like to ask Mr. Editor, what man can bring up a family on 25 or 30 cents an hour,today? I think it time that our women folk got together and formed a unâ€" ion. Let them make the price per hour, not the heads who go about spouting what they will do and can do; what we will pay, what we won‘t pay. If those kind had to work for a living, they would have been dead years ago. +% 4 THE INDEPENDENT, GRIMSBY, ONTARIO WORKERS WAGES t9200........}%....‘. .. .x . § Resident Taxes, 1920 ......

He was a gay, lightâ€"heartâ€" ed young man with a handsome face and fine manners. After Anne‘s death, Sophia of Hanover‘s son beâ€" came king. Prince Charlie gathered an army of Jacobites and tried to win the crown for himselt. He was defeated at Sheriffmuir. George 1 died and his son George III became king. England was again at war with France so the French fitted out a fleet and tried to put Prince Charlie on the throne. He landed on the coas; of Scotland. The Highlanders were very loyal to him and soon he was at the head of a very large army. He defeated the king‘s troops at Preseton Pans and then marched â€" on to Edinburgh, where he lived like a king for 40 days. He next, marched into Engâ€" land. He had hoped that the Engâ€" lish would join him as the Highlandâ€" ers had done but they did not, and he was forced to march back. The king‘s soldiers followed him and a terrible battle took place at Culloâ€" den Moor. The Highlanders were defeated and Prince Charlie had to flee for his life. He wandered about from place to place, hunted by the king‘s men. At last by the aid of a Scottish lady, named Flora MacDonâ€" ald, he managed to escape to France. This was the last attempt to restore the Stuarts to the throne of Engâ€" land. "I would add that it is only by awarding exemplary damages and collecting them from the offender." said Chief Justice R. M. Meredith, "that overâ€"zealous officers of the O. T. A. shall be restrained from any infringement of the rights of a citiâ€" zen of Canadi that is not warranted by that or some other law." ‘"‘The unfortunate position in which the defendan; finds himsgelf in this action is the result of his disregard of the familiar warning, Sutor ne supra crepidam. The office which the defendant took without any kind of experience or training was one for which he has in this case proved himselft estirely unfitted. The proâ€" per exercise of the duties of a peace officer requires much experience, tact, patience and knowledge, coupled with impartiality. For one wholly without experience or training, and a partisan to undertake them must be to court just such things as have happened in this case, bringing trouâ€" ‘ble and loss to the unfitted officer, wrong to the other, and ill repute to the administration of the law. the judgment states: prfocfasface eloePâ€"Ben ofe oPaoFe aPeafe aPnaPrele Lo ela afe cfecfecte afec} 1707 Union of Englard arnd Seotland During the Stuart period, hatred had grown \between England and Scotland.
