We, upon whom these innovations have come more gradually, had for- gotten that fashions were so differ- ent just five years ago. We become accustomed to anything, don't we? But we have a lurking idea that our women and girls look smarter, more agile, more beautiful, if you will, than they did five years ago. The truth must be that we men like them better all the time, no matter how their blessed fashions change, No Wonder Under the heading, 'Real Wond- the Detroit Free says, "Half the world wonders how the other half manages to stay slender'.

I suppose the ladies would protest that the liquor was there on the Doctor's order for "John's sake." It would indeed be ah outrageous thing if this should happen among What a howl of indignation would arise and the whole world would hear how Brit- ish liberty had been trampled into the dust in this manner. But, of course, no one is to waste any sympathy upon the "Poor," or the "Foreigner." These people are to be left to their own fate; ignored and despised; only to be thought of when it is necessary to preach a temperance sermon and to hold them up to further ridicule and scorn. Why not come out openly and admit that the Ontario Temperance Act cannot be enforced. Why do these Police Constables come down from Toronto and make these raids and interfere with the property and the lives and the liberty of Oshawa citii- zens? We have a competent Li- cense Inspector in this County; Captain Mason is a man who com- mands the respect of all who know him. Why are not these complaints made to him? Why do the Tor- onto officials accept the complaints of absolute strangers as to the in- fractions of the Ontario Temper- ance. Act in Oshawa? Why do not the Toronto officials ask Captain Mason to investigate and to take such action as he deems necessary? If Captain Mason is not competent he should be dismissed. Yet those who are intérested in the enforce- ments of Law and.Order in this Country know that Captain Mason is competent and therefore he should be consulted in all matters of this kind. Just one word in respeet to Cap- tain Mason's statement that 93 per cent. of the convictions under the Ontario Temperance Act during the last year were against Canadians. Since 98 per cent. of the people in this county are Canadians one would expect Mr. Mason's fig- ures to be correct. But Mr. Mason knew, when he made this statement in reply to me that I was referring to Oshawa. Not more than five per cent. of the population of Osh- awa is foreign born yet 50 per cent. of the charges under sections 40 and 41 of the Ontario Temper- ance Act in 1925 were against "Foreigners." There were 24 ' charges laid under these sections out of which 20 were known by.the writer to be persons against whom the police have preferred numerous charges. g Any one who knows anything at all of this question in Oshawa knows that less lignor was sold in 1925 by all the 24 persons who were charged as above mentioned than by one Canadian who operated in this City. I charge that the Ontario Tem- perance Act in Oshawa has been a failure on the following grounds:-- 1. There are now more places where drink may be procured in any one ward than there was under the old hotel system. 2. It has resulted in increased drinking among young people. 3. It has discouraged the con- sumption of wine and beer and in- creased the demand for distilled li- quors, which today are mostly pois- onous. 4. It has brought about disre- spect for all laws, 6, It has increased perjury in our courts to alarming proportions. 6. It is class legislation discrim- inating in favor of the rich. Added to all of this it results in our traditional belief that a man's house is sacred to himself being de- stroyed, Yours truly, J. SWANSON.
