when ho bill was passed it was claimed that tho eight hour day would mean greater cfllucucy during tho shorter hours of labor and consequently as great production as ii nine or ten hour day the result there has been disastrous and it is c t minted that swodcn is losing about 200 000 000 annually as a result of tho shorter day adopted f even tho arab want prohibition news comes that tho recent

concise review premier drury has been in the position of prime minister of ontario for a length of time sufficient to cstablsh tho fact that he has a remarkable capacity j for the work oflgovcrnment when ho took over the administration of provincial affairs it was known that ho was a man of vision and ideas but it re mainder for him to prove tha he had executive ability also a practical turn of mind and the faculty of handling men during the year and a half that mr drury has directed tho affairs of this province be has demonstrated that he possesses to a rare tie gree the combination of
