Composed as it is of per~ sons of various political faiths, it is not attached in any way to any poli- tical party, 1t stands for a sanc, de- mocratic and progressive program, designed to combat the effect of al- cohol, The first item in its recently adopted "Outline of Aims" reads as dollows : : "The ultimate aim of the Ontario Prohibition Union is the elimination of the manufacture, importation and sale of alcoholic beverages from the Province and from the Dominion." When, therefore, any political par- ty espouses a policy such as that of "Government sale of liquor," and thus identifies itself with the liquor inter- ests, the union is forced, however re- luctantly, to challenge and oppose that party, i The Union and Government In 1926 the Government under the leadership of Hon, G. H. Ferguson, appéaled to the people successfully on a "Government control" platform, Upon this platform the Government still stands, and is again appealing to the people. The union believes the principle of Goverpmien; sale is fase eory an vigious in ractice, ndheony it does, the Province the selling agent of a traffic the effect of which wpon human ife is wholly ins jurions, h Failure of Government Control The union is convinced that in the two years ofits operation the Liquor Control Act has failed to realize -the promises made on its behalf in 1920, First--It does not control, The law gives the Government no effective control over breweries or distilleries, whose selling agent it becomes. | It cannot control the cffects of 'I= quor, Once the liques J of the vendor's hands, all control of lie eadly work, Tt has not eliminated boot- Tegging. Speaking in the Legislature, in reply to a question, the Hon, Mr. P stated, on March 8 last, that ed year ending Oct, +31, 1928 in Or fario, there were 24,176 convictions for violations of the Liquor Control Act, According to the statement of General Draper, Chief of Police of Toone, as recorded in the Mail and impire, of Feb, 22, 1929 there were in 1927 1,078 prosecutions for viola tions of the Liquor Control Act in the Police Courts of Toronto and 1,288 in 1928, These facts evidence that the bootlegger is still at work. Not Aid to Temperance Third--It has not pramoted tem: perance, During the campaign of 1926 Premier Ferguson admitted that the Ontario Temperance Act had greatly benefited the Province, . He charged it with failure becausé, ac- cording to him, the people unter it wre spending $30,000,000 for liquor, The union regards the Premier's es- Now Playing "On With the Show" 100 per cent, Natural Color All Singing anit Dancing Picture New Martin THEATRE "Behind Closed Doors" The most baffling mys- tery story yet shown.

Fire cannot be extinguished by applying kerosene; neither can true temper- ance be promoted by increasing the consumption of intoxicants, In 1926 Mr, Ferguson proclaimed that his Liquor Control Act would in- duce a law-abiding spirit, According to the report of General Williams, Commissioner of Provincial Police, tabled in the House, and reported in the Mail and Empire of March 23, 1928, "prosecutions under the Pro- vincial statutes for the year 1928 were 11,305, an increase-over 1927 of 3,563." he reports of the Chiefs of Po- lice of the Cities of Sarnia, Wood- stock, Belleville, Kingston and Owen Sound disclose the fact that, for the year 1928, the record for breaches of he Liquor Control Act in those citics totals an advance of 105 per cent. over 1927. These are fair samples 0 Ontario communities, : The head of a great social service institution in Toronto stated about nine months ago, that drunkenness m the vicinity in which the organiza. tion worked had increased 100 per cent under the Liquor Control Act, From various sections of the Pro- vince social workers report that it has increased drunkenness and crime, crowded the jails, increased the num- ber of families and individuals re- quiring charitable assistance, and has contributed to vagrancy, delinquency and unwholesome and immoral con- ditions, Adverse to Temperance On. the other hand, "Government control" has made a dangerous traf- fic appear respectable, and has in- creased its' power for evil, Tt puts upon 'the sale of beverage alcohol, a nascofié poison, the stamp of legiti- macy, It, has brought its use into renewed social standing, and given a powerful impetus to anti-social drink ing habits, By requiring that liquor shall be consumed in residences, it has driven liquor into the home, the foundation ard fortress of society, Children are, { familiarized with the the fevel with ordinary foods.' Woe eroit ceases; and its hureni sensitive torthe dictates of cus: tom, are ensnared by alcohol, while many of our most promising youth arcexposed, in all sorts of ncial gatherings, to stronger than ever possible 'in the past, be: cause of the prestige of social sanc- tions and the example of reputable citizens, There has thus been brought about, we believe, a situation more productive of the growth of the li- guor habit and more fraught with danger than ever previously existed in this Province, * Increase Noted Referring to eight leading firms connected with liquor production iu Canada, Johnston & Ward, brokers; in their market letter, dated Decem- ber, 1928 says "The record of the 'beverage' group has not been nearly equalled in the comparatively short period of their history, The figures given above in themselves indicate an appreciation of close to 450 per cent." Government control has built up a powerful financial interest which is hostile to the progress of tempers ance reform, and which' menaces the independence and freedom of our po- litical institutions, According to the report of the Ro- yal Commisgion on Customs and Ex- cise, Henry Reifel, President of Brite ish Colunibia Breweries and Distill- cries, in his sworn evidence admitted ayment of $99,480 for campaign unds. Clement King, a director at that time of Hiram Walker & Sons, admitted payment of $183,000 charged in their ink to protecting trade marks but really Sovering payments to fight for Government liquor con trol and against . prohibition; and James G. Lawrence, Secretary-Trea- surer of the Consolidated Distilleries admitted "that the sums of $380,608 was paid to both political parties be- tween July, 1923, and the end of 1926. (Toronto Globe, May 6, 1927.) Legislative Proposals The Ontario Prohibition Union be- lieves thoroughly in education as the basis of all true social reform, But educafion and legislation, in any real advance of temperance, must go hand in_hand. ny. ' The union is convinced that the Ontario Temperance Act was the most advanced and cffective temper ance legislation ever placed on the statute book in Canada, and believes that its effects on home, on business, and on 'morals were more highly be- neficial than under any other sys- tem yet devised, : Premier Ferguson was entirely within the fact when he stated in his speech at Kemptville in 1926: "No one will argue for a moment that the Ontario Temperance Act has not done great good. It has removed dis tress from many a home and taken from the hotel doorstep the inebriate and the hanger-on who was & nuis- ance as well as a menace to society, It has, undoubtedly, increased. the cfs ficiency and the general output of in- dustry," The union recognizes clearly, how- ever, the necessarily injurious situa- tion in which manufacture of 'alcohal continues on a large scale in a com: munity where retail sale is forbidden, Under such circumstances, the brew er and the distiller, in order to ef fect the distribuion of their produc: utilize the bootlegger for domestic dis tribution, and the, Then ner for temptation |' reach through to the primary sources of wprly can be entirely effective, o Stop' Manufsctur . , The hs gy oy Jososes "the gassing of an act providing that no 'hrewery or distillery, shall manufac- ture or sell" alcoholic liquor in the Province without a license from the Provincial Government, and the sub- mission of this act to the Privy Province over manufacture, The union "believes that on the question of temperance, which so in- timately affects homes, character, and the safety of human life, the right of the people 10 the most direct, un- trammelled and timate considera- tion possible of the law under which they are compelled to live ought not to be denied, It, therefore, proposes "the passing of an act prohibiting the manufacture and sale of beverage alcohol within the province to the ex- tent of the power. thereof, to come into operation when approved by a majority vote of the electors, ascer tained by a properly conducted ple- biscite or referendum." The union recognizes necessary uses of alcohol and the enlarged po- sition it may properly occupy in ser- ving legitimate ends, and the problem of preventing such supplies of alcohol from being diverted to beverage pur- this and other reasons, * in case of the adoption of a prohibitory law, the making of the necessary residue of the manufacture and sale of al- cohol for industrial, scientific, medi- cinal and sacremental purposes a Government monopoly, The Call to the People By identifying his Government with the liguor traffic, in which it has be- tual salesman--and by his refusal to permit the people to deal with this question in any way but amid the confusion of a political election, My, Ferguson has compelled the con- Council to test the authority of the come the small partner--and the ac- | gi scientious citizen, who wishes to vote against the liquor traffic, to vote ag- amst his Governmen, in this elec- tion . yoke for the Lioveruimen is a vote for the 1 iguor t dominance in the life of the Province of 'the anti-social liquor interests and the demoralization and even death of many of ils citizens, The union, therefore, appeals. to all, regardless of party, Lo unite their forces to secure in every Siding the nomination of a candidate of political strength who can be depended upon to support the prohibition cause, In case no such candidate appears with- in the regular parties, it will be the duty of the temperance people, at least in those ridings where there is a reasonable possibility of success, to secure and nominate a suitable cane didate and to do everything in their power to effect his election, The welfare of our Province is at 'stake. New On this new continent, to which the Anglo Saxon spirit and institus tions have been transplant:d, we are forging a new civilization--a civiliza- tion built upon resources more ex- tensive, sustained by industry more vast, characterized by - production more efficient than ever before at- tained, By its means human life as- pires to be more competent, more free and more joyous than Old World civilizations, despite their splendid achievements, eve: permitted This opportunity must surely be matched by a manhood that rises to its full stature and maintains its powers in complete capacity, Aleohu is the foe of human achievement, and reduces physically, mentally and mo- rally the momentum of human pro- ress, Shall Ontario, so long in the van- guard, not again keep step in the march toward the best possible con- ditions of life?

But Rev. Mr. Harston asked if the church had no beliefs how could it expect to make any progress. If it developed no thought then it would have failed absolutely in its purpose and could give no constructive mes. sage of hope to those who were fighting the hard battle of life, - There were those who claimed that Christ's teachings were impracticable, some cven made his an excuse for not identifying themselves with any Christian - work, They contended that they could not carry our Christ's teachings to the full and that if the failed they would be hypocrites, This was but 3 cow.rd's plea the pastor declared. He admitted that there were many things in the New Testa- ment which might cause upheavals in society, but these changes would he for man's betterment and the com- mon good, "We need to realize that Christ as the Son of God reveals God to us," Rey. Mr, Harston stated, Many he stated when afflicted with trouble were apt to blame their difficulties upon God, They asked themselves what they had done to incur God's displeasure and either became defiant restless and impatient or submitted to their troubles passively, People were stricken with plagues and some regarded these things as acis of God, But the Jinor asked whether any- one could imagine Jesus bringing about a plague or some other unfor- tunate catastrophe, And .as Jesus reflected in His life the character of God how then could men attribute their sufferings to Him, Source of Strength Rev. Mr, Harston described the members of the order as knights of the King of kings, The knights of ancient monarchies were sworn to protect their king and the honor of the nation, but their cause was the defence of the Protestant faith, In conclusion he pointed out that as in- dividuals they could find strength and courage to meet the issues. of life through trust in Jesus, A large number of Black Knights were in attendance at the service including visiting members of the order from Bewmanville and Port Hope. The Knights occupied the pews In the centre of the church and the auditorium and gallery were well filled, The choir under the direction of Mr. John Renwigk, organist and leader, sang two fine anthems, "The Silent Sea' and "Lo Light is Here!
