Hanley, born in King- gton, on March 2nd, 1863, is the son of Thomas Hanley and Sarah Me- Cauley. He is agént of G.T.R. and Richileau Ontario Navigation Co., (mow Canadian National and Can- ada Steamship Co.) and was educat- ed at Kingston, Ontario. In 1881 the subject of this sketch began his railway career as freight clerk in she office of the Grand Trunk at Napanee, under his uncle, the late J. P. Hanley, who was agent there Yor many years. A year later M?. Hanley was transferred to the freight department at Kingston. - He joined his father in 1884 in the business as agent of the above companies and the present building was erected by Thomas Hanley, his father, in 1885. The branch service between Kingston Junction and Kingston was inaugurated in that year, he being the instigator of this service. Succeeded his father at his death in 1808 as agent and has as- sociated with him in business at the present time, his son, James 8., and his brother, Vincent Clarey Hanley. The business conducted at the pres- ént time is is as follows: They ate agents for Canadian National Rail- ways, Canada Steamship Lines, and all' ocean steamship services, both on the Atlantic and Pacific. With- out a doubt this agency is the old- est in the Dominion ahd is the only one that maintains a twenty-four {| hour service for the convenience ot | the travelling public. Joseph P.

Orangeville, Dec. 24.--(To the Editor): tomed to speak of ours as the Ban- ner Province, and to congratulate ourselves that we lead the Dominion, not to speak of the rest of the world, in the excellence of our education- al eystem, the observance of law and order and general moral and social progress. 'This may occasionally be warranted, but with your permis- slon I desire to direct the attention ot thoughtful people to a few facts from the criminal statietics of Can- ada for the year ending Sept. 30th, 1923, recently published by the De- partment of Trade and Commerce, which, when considered in relation to former and other statistics, af- ford small ground for self-gratula- tion. For convenience, in giving percentages and per capita rates, I have omitted fractions less than 1-2, using in each case the nearest whole number, The total convictions for all classes of crime in all the gourts of Canada for 1913 were 173,138; for 1983 they 'were 169,262, a decrease in ten years of 8 per eent. The con- vietions in all Canada, excepting On- tario, for 1913 were 114,339; for 1923 they were 85,045, a decrease of 26 per cent. The conviction in Ontario for 1913 were 68,709; for 1928 they were 74,207, an increase of 26 per cent. The population of Canada in 1911 was 7,206,843; in 1921 it was 8. 788,483, an increase of 22 per cent. The population of all Canada, ex- cepting Ontario, i= 1911, was 4.- 679,351; in 1921 it was 5,854,821, an increase of 26 per cent. The pop- ulation of Ontario fn 19011 was 2. 527,202; in 1921 it was 2,933,662, an increase of 16 per cent. Thus, we find, for the ten-year period ending Sept. 30, 1928, that, while the rest of Canada with afi increase of population of 25 per cent. shows a decrease in crime of 26 per cent. Ontario, with an in- crease in population of only 16 per cent., confesses to an increase in erime of 26 per cent, And reducing the figures for 1923 to a per capita basis, it appears that the total con- victions per 100,000 of population, in that year, in all the vest of Can- ada were 1,458, while in Ontario, for the same year, they were 2,630. Will our moral and social reform. eff" please explain? Here also are some facts which are commended to those who con- sider the O.T.A. the last word im temperance legislation, The convigtions for drunkenness in Canada in 1913 were 60,975; in 1928 they were 25,665, a decrease in ten years of 68 per cent. The con- victions for drunkenness {n all Can- ada, excepting Ontarioy * 18. were 44,739; in 1933 they were 14,- 195, a decrease of 68 per cent, The convictions for drunkenness in On- tario in 1913 were 16,236; in 1923 they were 11,870, a decrease of 30 per cent. Thus, while all the rest of Canada in the decade ending in 1923, in spite of an increase in population of 26 per cemt., has achieved a reduc- tion in drunkenness of 88 per cent. Ontario in the game period; with an {ncréase - of population of only 18 per cent., has only reduced her drunkenness by 30 per cent. And again reducing the figures for 1923 to a per capita basis, we find that, while in all the rest of Canada the convictions for drunkentiess per 100,000 of population in that year ii- | wére only 242, in Ontario they wers 888. In England, the population of which in 1921 was 35,678,530, the convictions for drunkanness in 1018 were 177,971; in 1923 they were 72,6900, a décrease in the same Ten . | yedrs of §9 per cent., which is slight- ly better than the record for all Canada.
