Henry, in his re- sistance to the propaganda of The Moderation League in relation to in- Sheed facilities for the sale of beer wine. The Convention was fortunate in having as its speakers Dr. A .J. Irwin, Secretary of the Prohibition Union, and Dr. McLachlan, Secretary of Social Service and Evangelism in the United Church of Canada. Both tion. Dr. Irwin pointed out that the are not a unit as to the Government liquor policy. Dr. McLachlan showed that only not depending to a very consid- erable extent upon the revenue se- cured from the sale of liquor. He could see no difference between the beer parlor and the bar, except that it would be possible to drink longer while sitting down than while standing up. In British Columbia the same evils prevail that used to degrade the barroom. The "thrower- out" is employed; the drunkenness exists; the essential effect of intoxi- cating liquor is not changed because it is sold in a "parlor."

An old farmer was asked when he thought hard times would be over. "Well," he said, "I've lived through a good many such days as these and I've noticed that they most always just about last out three pairs of pants. I'm on my third pair now and the seat is so thin, if I sit on a penny I can tell whether it's heads or tails up, so I think we're pretty near out of the woods." eee tl MPP AP Pree.
