W. E. Raney Will Speak -- To Charge Fav- oritism in Beer Licenses (By Canadian Press) Toronto, Feb. 11.--The debate on the reply to the speech from the throne is not expected to develop any fighting features until next Tuesday when W. E, Raney, Pro- gressive leader, will speak. This ifternoon W. H. Bradburn, West Peterboro, will move and R. N. 3erry will second the reply in the wddresses purely complimentary to the government. Either Mr. Sinclair )r Mr. Raney will move an adjourn- ment of the debate. Mr. Raney will attack the gov- 2rnment on what it does not say in the speech from the throne, rather than what it does say. It is under- stood that Mr. Raney will contend that the Ontario Temperance Act has not been as well enforced by this government as it was when he was attorney general. There will also be a charge of favoritism in the issuing of beer licenses. Mr. Sin- clair will also attack the govern- ment on its policy with regard to temperance. Moving the reply to the speech from the Throne, this afternoon, W. H. Bradburn, Conservative, Peter- horo West, paid compliments to the Premier and the speaker, and ex- pressed his belief that the people of Ontario had shown good judgment in returning the Conservatives to power in view of the present good administration. Mr. Raney apparently has decid- ed to force the issue regarding the Government's temperance policy. This morning he filed a series of questions among which were the following: "Has the Government or Prime Minister given consideration since the last session to the question of the Government Control of sale of intoxicating liquors?" ""Has a bill been drafted for sub- mission to the legislature or a basis of discussion before the electors?" Mr. Widdifeld, Ontario North, wants to know what plan of Govern- ment Control was contemplated when the government called for the plebiscite in October, 1924. Frank W. Wilson, of Windsor, in- tends introducing a government con- trol resolution as soon as possible. Smartness ruled at the opening yesterday of the third session of the Sixteenth Legislature of Ontario. Smartness yesterday manifest in shining ears by which luminaries of Church and State were transported to the presence of the King's repres- entative; in the military compliment paid to that personage, his Honor Lieutenant-Governor Cockshutt, on arrival; in the dress and uniform of society and mess which transformed the spacious corridors of the Legis- lative Buildings into colorful "Pea- cock Alleys"; and, lastly, yet most significantly, in the stately ceremon- jes by which a Parliament fresh from recess again picked up the threads of sessional debate and dis- cussion.

It Specialist Contends Backward Children Become Great Men (By Canadian Press) London, Feb. 9.--Charles Dar- win and Sir Isaac Newton were backward children, it is pointed out by Dr. A. F. Tredgold, a specialist, 'who contends that many school dunces of today will become great men. "The dull boy who is made to wear the fool's cap in classes in the future will be able to beguile the tedium of his penance by reflecting that his stupidity may some day make him famous," declared the physician, addressing the Women's Sanitary Inspectors at Bedford Col- lege. The backwardness of Newton and Darwin, he said, was due to late development of their mental powers. His studies have convinced him that the boy who is a dunce, and who has not much intellect or capacity for learning, often has a large am- ount of common sense and intelli- gence tucked away under his scalp, and gets on in life better She met all situations and Of fear had not a trace.
