Earl Rowe has repeatedly made the statement that he knows Liberals who are be- ing protected by Premier Hepburn in the mat- ter of succession duties. Such general state- ments are not convincing. Until Mr. Rowe names the Liberals he alleges to be given im- munity in the drive to collect overdue suc- cession duties he need not expect the public to be much impressed by what he has to say on this score. The management of the Canadian National Exhibition will have general sympathy in the hard luck which caused the outbreak of pol- iomyelitis to affect the attendance at this great animal fair so seriously. Exceptional preparations had been made to have this year's exhibition a record one and as far as the show itself is concerned the efforts to this end were highly successful. All that has been lacking has been the crowd, a lack that not only hits the gate receipts but deprives the affair of that something which a great crowd gives to a big exhibition of this kind. /.\ The Amherstburg Echo believes the horror publicity campaign now being carried on by the Highways Department. should be follow- ed up with the elimination entirely or sus- pension of drivers` licenses together with stiff gaol terms suited to the offence. It feels that this would reduce fatal and near fatal auto- mobile accidents more quickly than any other way. If every motor accident were followed by suspension of a license it would very soon curb recklessness which, after all, is the cause of the great majority of accidents, even minor ones. says the Echo. With this view The Ex- aminer quite concurs. On more than one oe- casion we have urged the suspension or can- cellation of drivers licenses as the most ef- fective punishmcnt for serious offences a- gainst the Highway Traffic Act. \ Premier Hepburn gives catering to Amer- 7 ican tourists as his excuse for the presence -. of women in the beverage rooms of Ontario. 1 In his speech at Richmond Hill on Saturday M night the Premier is reported as follows: At : one time, he said. the Government had ser- iously thought of forbidding beer parlors to ~ women. but a check-up revealed that such a(:- I tion would have worked a hardship on the . tourists. who. on coming here with their fam- l; `ilies. were entitled, he felt. to drink, if they `desired to. on properly operated and legalized premises, rather than be put to the incon-| venience of hunting up some brewery ware- house to make more extensive purchases." Such a statement is far from complimentary| t.o the United States women. We doubt if one, per cent. of these visitors would be deterred M from coming here ii they knew they could not be served in beer parlors. Even if there .were objections from tourists. should the reg- ` ` ulations for beer parlors be made to suit their ' tastes rather than in accordance with the| wishes oi the majority of the "people in this province? \<|u\L' .\[)t'.'iIKL`l of Mitch Ho] they have 1101 about it.

After all no one learns :mythim.: it Mr. Hepburn wishes to tell Mr. Rowe that he's "the tool at` John Lewis. and receiv- ing c:uup:`.ign funds frmn him." Neither do we learn anything frmn Mr .Rnwe's statements that "Hepburn is a dictator and the tool of the money barons." Such talk is tommy rot. and wastes a whole lot of time. So why not cut it down and provide the voters with clear-cut statements of the issues involved and give them some credit for being intelligent enough to think things out for themselves and vote accordingly.

AIMS AT TAKING LIQUOR QUESTION V OUT OF POLITICS | One of the most important pronouncements, yet made in the present provincial electionl campaign was that by Premier Hepburn at Richmond Hill on Saturday night when he announced a complete reorganization of the Liquor Control Board. to be made effective after October 6 provided the present Govern- ment is returned to power. The Premier proposes a new administrative board, to consist of a Supreme Court judge as chairman and two Associate Commissioners. chosen from the members of the Legislature. one to be appointed by the Government and the other by the Opposition, this board to be given a free hand" in administering the Li- quor Control Act. -n-u. nu.

Fort Smith lies just north of the Alberta boundary in Mackenzie dis- trict. North West Territories. At the foot of a formidable serie; of rapids on the Slave River. this point has been well known ever since the pioneer traders and missionaries went into the Mackenzie River dis- trict. and marks the head of naviga- tion for craft which ply to the posts near the Arctic Sea.

The Legislature would still have the responsibility of making amend- ments to the Act, in connection with which the liquor interests, which make their busi- ness their politics, would continue to use ev- ery influence to secure more favorable condi- tions for their trade. As against this the Gov-- I ernment would have the force of public opin- ion, as well as the advice of an independent commission desirous of having; such legisla- tion as can be administered to the best ad-' vantage.
