THURSTON, - Editor <'OLT OF THE FAT INTO THE FIRE" Through the votes of foreign born electors, British Columbia established a government sale of into.xicant.s such as Mr Fergu.son proposes, without a mandate from the people and in op- imsition to the decision arrived at by the last Provincial Convention of the ConstTvative party. Now we get from a reliable newspaper, the Daily Bulletin of Trail, its opinion of the system which Mr. Ferguson says he will set UD in Ontario if he can get enough .supporters in the Legislature to be flfcti'd on the first of next month. Of Mr. Ferguson's plea that the destruction of the Otnario Temp- erance Act and the setting up of gov- ernment shops to retail intoxicants to everyone in Ontario, male and female, 21 years old and over, this British Columbia authority says: "This is the .same old cry of the mod- erationist just before British Colum- bia jumped into the whiskey barrel. WE SEE MORE BOOTLEGGERS NOW THAN EVER INFESTElJ THESE PARTS UNDER PROHIBI- TION." You cannt decrease the sale of in toxicants, or put down bootlegging by having the government establish liquor shops all over the land, thereby be- coming partners of the brewers and distillers and vastly increasing the opportunities to provide drunkenness. As Hon. Mr. Nickle, who resigned from the Ferguson government, be- cause he could not stomach its sur- render to the liquor makers, says:"l'he repeal of the Ontario Temperance Act and the establishment of govern- ment sale of liquors to all and sun- dry, would set back the progress of temperance for many years, which would be years of misery and dep- redation " Let no one be misled. There can •e no government control. Where- â- ver the sale and distribution o-f in- oxicants 11= established, there will oome the evils of tht traffic as night follows day, and the traffic requires ' to be fed by the sacrifice of the young as well as the old, otherwise there would be no profit in it. At what sacrifice to the wefare of the Prov. ince would a system of government sale be carried on!

Government Control is being advanced as the best method of doing away with the Boo;'ieggers. Experience in the provinces which have adopted Government Control shows that the bootleggers have in- creased in numbers and in wealth. They are open at all hours, govern- ment liquor stores are not; the boot- leggers pay no excise tax, government .stores pay a high tax for liquor. Bootieggers cater to the whiskey- thirsty on Sundays and holidays, the government stores do not and in short the bootlegger outsells and undersells the government stores. The benefit by the appetite created and the res- pectability conferred through govern- ment sale! Others say conditions are no better than before the days of the O.T.A. Do you believe that? Do you see drunks in every gathering, poverty- stricken homes and temptation luring youth on every side? All these things were commtn in the "good old days." In the million and a half people who attended the Canadian National Exhibition this year there were only a half dozen dru.iks.

ARTEMESIA COUNCht i The Council Aet at Flosherton on '.licduty, but something I Saturday,___Nov.^ G._^ „llL T.^'t^l Ontario apple growers will have to look to their laureLs, otherwise their product will be squeezed out of popu- lar favor â€" not by foreign competi- tion as some people imagine, but by the enterprise of the British Colum- bians. Apple growing has been so improved in the Pacific province dur- ing the last quarter of a centBry, as to enabfe growers to take premier bonors in both the United States and Great Britain, in competition with the world. That is not all: the Brit- ish Columbians are putting up their fruit in attractive boxes, and forcing its sale, not only in the intervening western provinces, but in Ontario Only last week carload shipments of apples, tomatoes and onions were marketed in Toronto, at a profit, af- ter paying very substantial freight rates. The achievement is something to be proud of. Less than a third of a century ago apples grown in Brit- ish Columbia were regarded as decid- edly inferior to those produced in On- tario, Quebec and Nova Scotia. They were regarded as wooden, with little flavor, and altogether unattractive to the palate. Patient cultivation, sup- ervision of growth nad careful pack- ing have done very much to improve the British Columbia applie. They tell us that in the Oklahoma valley they have pnxluced an apple that is equal, if not superior, to our now famous .Mackintosh tied. No time should be lost by our fruit growers in finding mean.i to improve the culti- vation of their orchards and in pack- Ins and putting on the market their products. They should note, also, that British Columbia competitors, as well as those in the United States, arc not slow in advertising their products. As it was in the days of old, so it is In this progressive and resourreful •fe: it does not pay to put our light onder a buahcl Ontario fruit and other prodcts of or soil are good en- ough to be marketed in attractive form and to be well advertised. In Great Britain, Mayors and coun- eilmen willingly give their services to the community gratis.
