But the bishop is wiling to give the other side. he--"It should be observed ales that climatic condi- tions in easterh Canada at any rate do serve to lessen the need for stimu lants.

The _ testimony of Col, Grassett given below comports well with the sentiments in the above raphs. In reply to a question by the bishop, Toronto's former police chief wrote him : "The closing of - the bar has been of the very greatest benefit to the community, young and old, par- ticularly the former, who in days to come will have good reason to bless (heir predecessors for suppressing the greatest curse in Canada. Hav- ing had the opportunity during thirty-eight years' experiefice as chief constable, watching drunken- Des and {ts effects in this city, I have no hesitation in saying that in my opinion prohibition has been a Success. I do not, however, support those who would go to extremes in this direction, but would favor some modification in existing regulations it such could be devised, that would not impair the present Act, so far as drunkenness is concerned, but would give moras liberty to the great bulk of law abiding citizens who for no reason of their own have in the public interests to endure the re- strictions - imposed by the Ontario Temperance Act for the benefit of those who cannot control their appe- tite for too much strong drink." "Pros." Put One Over, Bishop Bidwell stigmatizes the methods resorted to by the prohibi- tionists as grossly unfair and de- clares that by means of the four dit- ferent questions which had to be answered on the referendum ballot the issue was clouded, the vote split in favor of the "drys," with results entirely misrepresentative of public sentiment. Says he--"If the gov- ernment had placed before the peo- ple the one question: 'Are you in favor of 'an amendment of the On- tarlo Temperance Act, substituting a system of etrict government con- trol of the liquor traffice for the practical prohibition now in forcey a clear issue would have been placed before the people and those who did not believe in it would have been left as they are now, with a rankling sense that they did not have quite a 'square deal.'

HIGHWAY POLY And Endorse Hydro Radial Policy---Meeting of the Frontenac U.F.O. At a meeting of the United Farm- ers of «#Frontenac held in the agri- cultural hall on Saturday evening, -the action of the Ontario Government in calling a halt to the hydro radial policy of Sir Adam Beck was en- dorsed, while strong opposition was taken to the present highway build- ing programme owing to the enor- mous cost of the roads and the in- creased taxation that will have to be imposed upon the townshiph to meet their share of the expense, Thomas Doyle, of Pittsburg, pre- sided and A. E. Weller, secretary, presented his report. In desling with the highways he stated that a pro- test had been entered on behalf of municipalities charge with one-fifth of the cost of the roads now bujld- ing. Under the system of financing the construction of the provincial roads the Dominion Government paid forty per. cent., the province forty- two per cent. and the municipality eighteen per cent. Of the road now bullding about eighteen miles run through Pittsburg township and sev- en or eight miles through the town- ship of Kingston. A conservative estimate placed the cost at $40,000 a.mile and declared it was manifest- ly unfair to load the burden of taxa- tion nefessary to meet the cost upon the towuships through which the road ran. The entire county should pay the bill. The roads were not asked for by the townships and they have no control over their construe- tion. It was pointed out by several speakers who have studied the road question and investigated the meth- ods of construction that the work Was not being restricted to the point of absolute necessity, while the costs Were at the highest peak. They were heartily in accord with the poli- cy of good roads, but the cost of maintaining the county apd town- ship roads was great and it was felt that greater economy should be em- ployed in the methods of conmstruct- iag the provincial road. Another point that raised strong Objections was the employment of farmers' sons with their teams on this road building. The road work was at first intended to relieve the unemployment situation bit the very class of labor intended to be ben- fited would not do the work, and farmers' sons abandoned the fields for the high wages offered. _James Simpson, Cataraqui, spoke on the hydro radial question. This Was a matter in which every farmer was deeply interested because the rural communities wanted light and power. When the hydro ling was run through Cataraqui the people were given to understand that their needs would be met. 'When they applied for the service, however, there was none to spare. In his case he said that the line passed through his property. At the same time, Sir Adam Beck who was ap- pointed hydro commissioner for the purpose of developing electric pow- er, was found to be engaged in bring- ing up and constructing radial lines paralleling the present steam. poads and' in competitifit 'with them, and the electric energy needed for light and power could not be obtained by the rural municipalities. The policy of buying up railways is against the Interests of the farmers and the gov- ernment has done well to look into Bir Adam Beck's schems for if it were allowed to go ahead there would be no prospect of the farmers ever getting light and power. John McGrath took strong ob- jection to the municipalities financ- ing radials to duplicate the present Steam roads and also to thé policy of widening the highways to eight teet by filling in Aitck®s and cutting down great numbers of trees that .could not be replaced in a genera- tion. James Bell, president of the ¢ Glenburnie U.F.0, glub, concurred in the statements of the previous speak- ers and Suggested that monthly meat ings be held in order that the people might*be educated on these fmport- ant public questions. Bir Adam Deck was eppotinted to develop power Dot to build railways. He folt that these matters should be brought up ir the individual dubs syd dine cussed" in «der that"aetion might bs taken that would express che Zen- eral feelings and wishes of ine neo- ple. A vote ¢n the radial questio: was deferréd until October . Major E. €, Barrett, shipping agent, presented his report upon the cattle and other stock sales which Was regar as most factory. He direoted attention to the failure of many farmers to make delivery when car lots were being mada up. He was assured of the support of the members present.

"These people who would try and Sow discord between the two great English speaking nations of the earth are guilty of worse than trea- son," said Rev. W, Taylor Dale, dur- | ing his sermon in Chalmers church on Sunday evening. He was preach- ing on Christian internationalism, based on Acts XVII, 26 : "And God hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth." Mr. Dale has just returned from a visit to Fri 3, home in Island, and despite the horrors transpiring in the Old World, he returns full of lope and optimism. He preaches the doctrine that "God is in His hes- vensiand all's well with the world." The great work involved in Christian internationalism he sees to be per- formed by Great Britain and the United States, and for those who sought to create ili-tesling between these two great' nations he strong words of condemnation.
