A prohibitionist writing ta The Toronto Star, asks the question: â€""Why is it that none of the members of the Moderation League are ever invited to occupy any of the pulpits in the province?" The answer to that is quite easy: The preachers are afraid to let anybody but themselves occupy their pulpits for fear the people would hear the truth. The preachers have deceived the people on every point in, connection with prohibition. . For instance, the preachers told the people that prohibition would reduce the number of police officers to a mere fraction of those employed in 1915â€"has such been the case? No! â€" On the contrary the police officers have been inâ€" creased all over the province. The people believed the preachers and tke preachers led them astray. iz â€"The preachérs have deceived the peo‘ple so long that they dare not let the people hear the truth. And again the preachers told the people that under prohibition the cost of the administration of law would be greatly reduced, thus reducing the taxesâ€"but, again the people were deceivedâ€"under prohibition the courts have been crowded, the cost has greatly inâ€" creased and tk)'(es have soared sky high. juncl j The preachers laughed to scorn those who tried to warn the people of the danger* of "private stills" and "blind pigs"; yet again the preachers were proven to be deceivers of the people and blind leaders of the blindâ€"for time revealed the fact that hundreds of "privâ€" ate stills" were carried on throughout the province and thousands of "blind pigs" were started and are in exâ€" istence today all over the province in spite of an army of officers who do nothing else but hunt foir illicit booze and booze handlersâ€"in this the people were most igâ€" nominiously deceived and led astray. In spite of warnings in the press and on the platâ€" form the preachers vowed that the statements about bootâ€"legging in Maine were fairy tales; that the story about the danger of bootâ€"legging was a mythâ€"and again the people were deceived for all of tth have lived to see an army of bootâ€"leggers marching triumâ€" phantly through the land, and on water as well, with automobiles, trucks, motorboats, steamboats and other craft laden with liquor as a direct result of prohibition. Having deceived the people on this question to the extent that they have, there is no possible chance that the preachers would open their pulpits to any one who woauld tell the people the truth. _ The people have been fed from the pulpil for years with the purest kind of bunkum on the prohibition question until they would scarcely understand the truth if they heard it. Just the moment that the preachers ceased the preaching of the gospel and took up cantroversial quesâ€" tions, their power aver the people began to wane. The preachers told the people that under prohibition our jails would be empty and our police cciurts deâ€" sertedâ€"once more the people were deceivedâ€"jails are overcrowded, so much so that jailâ€"farms have been established to make room for prisoners. â€" Police courts have been working overtimeâ€"one police magistrate beâ€" ing faced with no less than one hundred cases in a day. Just so long as preachers contin#e to keep the peoâ€" ple in a turmoil by haranguing them on controversial questions, just so long will the attendance at churches continue to decrease. The preachers nearly all commence at the wrong end of the problem of temperance. Let them preach to get their "man" right and there will be no need to agitate to get laws to keep him rightâ€"a man kept right by law will never be z2 "man". Now for â€"another question, the probiem of the "bootlegger": â€" What about the ‘bootâ€"legger? Prohiâ€" bition created him! â€" How are we to destroy him? Will ‘government control? No! Not as it is conâ€" ducted in British Columbia. An ounee of gospel in a sermon is worth ten pounds of prohibition bunkum. What is the underlying cause of bootâ€"legging? Dear liquor! _ With cheap liquor the bootâ€"legger would cease to existâ€"in fact, he could not exist. To stop baootâ€"legging, we‘must find the underlying cause. «Find the cause and you can find a cure. oBe oBe oBe Ee cBe aBe eBe aBe oo oBe cE aBe eB aBe oBe aBe oBe aBe oBe eBe oBe aBe oge aBe afe obe se aBo oBe se ofe ofe afo afe ofeofe Facts and Fancies Issued every Wednesday from the Office of Publishers, Main and Oak Streets, C Grimsby, Ontario Members Canadian Weekly Newspapers Association.

NOTES AND COMMENTS % ON CURRENT EVENTS § 6x BY PETER PEEEERKIN Ts In British Columbia the government charge the people too much far their liquorâ€"hence, a big bootâ€" legging trade. The bootâ€"legger is just like any other dealerâ€"he must make a profit or he will cease to exist. A T am not advocating opem bars. I am merely stating what is to me a selfâ€"evident fact, and that fact is, that if there were open bars in Canada and the United States with beer at five cents a glass, the naâ€" tional and international bootâ€"legging would cease to exist entirely withkin one year. _ : oLe eBe +4 ofe ofe oBe abe ofe ofe afe obe aBe ale afe ae ofe aBe ofe aTe aTe aTe dJe sJe aTe aZe aTe afe aTe oJ aZe ofe aTe aTe ofe afe afe efeoafe Nothing would kill the bootâ€"legging trade so quickâ€" ly as open bars with beer at five cents a glass. ing requirements as essential to.the restoration of Rusâ€" sian credit with Great Britain. "These requirements seem eminently reasonable and should be studied by our bankers and manufacturers, and also by the Doâ€" minion government. 7 1. That a recognition of debts, public and private, should be agreed upon, acceptable to both countries. 2. That an equitable arrangement for the restitution of private property to foreigners shall be made. 3. That a proper civil code shall be brought into @effective operaâ€" tion, independent courts of law created, and the sanctity of private contracts again firmly established. A committee of British bankers who were give the matter careful study have set forth 4. That the Russian government shall definately guarantee that in future, private property shall, in all circumstances, be free from danger of confiscation by the state. 5. That bankers, industrialists, and traders in Great Britain shall be able to deal freely without inâ€" terference by the government authorities with similar private institutions in Russia, controlled by men of whom they have personal knowledge, and in whose character, word, and resources they have confidence. .« "And whereas the people of the Canadian West are vitally interested in the cost of coal production, due to their own large requirements and also to the fact that next to wages themselves the cost of coal is the largest factor in railway transpomtation costs. 6. That the Russian government shall abandon its propaganda against the the institutions of other counâ€" tries, and particularly against all those from whom they propose to request financial assistance. The proposed treaty with Russia fathered by the Dresent Labor govâ€" ernment does/fiot confirim to these 1 ‘nirements in many important regpects, henge the _te %opposjtion to it on the pari of both éonsé“b%c{ and Eiberal parties which, in the writer‘s opinion, is thoroughly justified. _ ‘"Therefore be it resolved that the Winnipeg Board of, Trade, having in mind the common interests of Westâ€" ern Canada, hereby expresses itself as opposed to the sanctioning of any wage or other agreement which may delay the general lowering of coal prices, and hereby respectfully urges the mine operators in district 18 to protect the public at large in the making of any new wage agreement. ‘"Whereas the agreement between «oal operators and miners in district 18 expired on April 1st of this year, and notwithstanding decreases in living costs, and also notwithstanding that the rate of wages in district 18 is purported to be higher than in any other coal mining area, nevertheless the miners are making deâ€" mands eqivalent to still higher wages and are insisting upon a threeâ€"year agreement, and a strike financed by labor interests outside Canada has been called in the district to enforce such demands. _ "And be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to such operators and to the Boards of Trade in the three prairie provinces, with the suggestion that they pass a similar resolution, and that they be prepared to aid in the creation of a public opinâ€" ion which will resist any wage agreement between operâ€" ators and operatives prejudicial to the people at large." In a recent address on "Our Fire Waste," Fire Marshal E. P. Heaton placed the blame for Canada‘s high fire losses on the modern convemiences in every home. â€"Every invention, he says, that makes for conâ€" veniency has increased the fire hazard by introdtucing risks entirely unthought of before. The writer was present at several of the golf matches during the ladies‘ golf championship held last week at the Golf and Country Club, Ancaster, as well as at the final between Miss Ada McKenzie, of Toronto, and Miss Glenna Collet, of Providence, U. S. A. The ‘big issue in the Albert@ strike seems to be that of cheaper coal, and the Winn‘peg Board of Trade seems to have hit the nail on the head by ‘the following resolution recently passed by the body, which reads as follows: ! To the surprise of many of the men golfers presâ€" ent this series of matches has proved that the modern athletic young woman, who has a natural talent for the game, and who has been well trained when young, can hold her own with almost any of the best male amaâ€" teurs. This matter of high coal prices, of course, affects Ontario as well, because only two things prevent the shipment of hard coal from the Alberta mines to Onâ€" tario points at a reasonable figure, say $10.50 per ton. The first is the high wages of the miners and the secâ€" ond is the high wages paid most of the railway men. During the final round Miss Mackenzie played a very plucky game indeed, handicapped as she was by her opponaent‘s big lead of eight holes on the first round. The Canadian ladies made an excellent showâ€" ing, having three in the semiâ€"finals as compared with only 1 American &Â¥t of about 25 who entered. A thoroughly good aporting spirit prevailed all through and the whole affair was a great success from start to finish. A Miss Collett thoroughly deserved to win as she played a very fine, consistent game all through the championship, and during the first eighteen holes of the final, went around in 76, a ~score which has not been equalled by any lady player on these links before. She has a very pretty style and a wonderfuly clean follow through. & the dispensat ons v b for the cure: There is only one cureâ€""cheap Give men beer at five cents a glass and they y from a bootâ€"legger at twentyâ€"five cents a Give men beer at fifteen, cents a bottle and 1‘t pay a bootâ€"legger fifty cents a glass.

So it seems the greater our exports of these products, the less employâ€" ment we have at home, which brings us face to face with the issue of reâ€" quiring our natural products to be converted into finished merchandise, before leaving this country, thereby distributing half a billion dollars in labor, etc., in our own country before export is permitted, or impose an exâ€" port duty equivalent to that sum to provide for taxation and relief for unâ€" employment, if we prefer that way of doing it. Our grain and grain products totals $400,013,000.00 an increase export of $40,000,00.00 over last year. Our export of metals amounted to $134,143,000.00 which is double our average. And so on with the most of our natural products. Why not face the issue squarely, and impose embargo against the exâ€" port of our / natural products until Canadian labor has converted them into finished goods. Or impose an export duty on same, equivalent to the employment results if we prefer idleness and relief, to sound employâ€" ment and the upâ€"building of our Inâ€" dustrial ~opportunities, and making Canada and her people what~ they ought to be, the most prosperous and contented country on earth.
