I know what it has done in other places. It has removed distress from many a home and taken from the hotel doorstep the in- ebriate and hanger-on, who was a nuisance, as well as a gnen- ace to society. It has undoubt- edly increased the efficiency and general output of industry." The above quotation is not from so-called the Ontario, who is today going up and some Temperance. fanatic, but is from Prime Minister of down this Province telling the peo- the Act cannot ple that Ontario Temperance be enforced, and there- fore should be repealed, and that we should return to a system of legal- ized sale.

Jut what a nation gets this way is its own, and any returns or dividends paid on it go to its own people. It is inter- esting to note that Canada is able to cave something more than half what she needs, and that her savings arc growing apace. Thrift in times of buoyancy will provide us with an ex- ccllent sheet anchor which will hold us steady in the 'days when economic storms come upon us. "CAN'T AFFORD IT" (Niagara Falls Review) Many a man is deterred from ofier- ing himself from public office becaus he cannot afford to pay the cost of the campaign. Ex-Mayor MacBride, Brantford, frankly admits that the rea- son he is not running for the Legisla- turc at this election is the fact that he "Can't Afford It." 'The system is wrong. It should not be necessary to | spend thousands of dollars in this or any other constituency to be elected to public office. The trouble is that a pace has been sct which is being maintained here as clsewhere. BRITAIN'S BUSINESS (London Evening Standard) The business of Great Britain is not to involve itself in the intrigues and plots' of the continental powers and their puppets. It is to improve its own stately heritage to develop and con- solidate the limitless resources of the Empire, to pursue, hand in hand with the overscas nations, a policy of pru- dence, detachment, peace and mutual ncouragement, 'Il faut cultivater notre jardin." The garden is big enough for all our energics, and profitable enough, f properly tilled and watered, to sat- isfy all our ambitions.

(Vancouver Province) Sam Hill is receiving more publicity than Mount Everest. The Toronto Star has the following comment on the aggresive promotcr of the Peace Arch: "Men have been known to fight like Sam Hill run like Sam Hill and even drink like Sam Hill. But there is a man in Seattle who threatens to slap faces like Sam Hill, Sam Hill is his name, and someone has him while he has been acting as host to Queen Marie. But he is not the original Sam. The latter, according to the dictionaries is that gentleman whom the Scotch call 'Auld Clottie, 'Auld Hornie' 'Auld Nick,' and. just plain 'De'il." So when a man runs like Sam Hill, he runs like a very accom- plished runner indeed -- and one skil- {led in pursuit." AIN'T NATURE WONDERFUL?

Mr. A. J. Graves and Mr. W. G. Dryden spoke briefly. Mr. Samuel | Farmer, editor of the Port Perry |Star, was chairman. One of Premier Ferguson's statements respecting temperance was the alleged need of education, said Mr. Sinclair, rising to speak af- 'ter an enthusiastic welcome. But (the first attempt came to a sudden end in the Premier's own riding when the Rev, Dr. Hart and his | films were seized and the pictures not allowed to be shown. He sug- gested that information leading up to this seizure must have come from sources close to the Premier him- self. Mr. Sinclair repeated that he saw the hand of Premier Ferguson pav- ing the way for this election by his redistribution measures, in giving seats taken from the country to To- ronto and other large---and presum- ably wet---centres. He referred to the "bribes" of zood roads and said Liberals would |never descend to that. He again denied that it was possible that he |ecould even have favored Govern- ment Control had Mr. Ferguson fa- vored the O.T.A. It was of course impossible as all people who knew his record would believe. Mr. Sinclair directed an oral shaft at Premier Ferguson over his re- ported utterances at Prescott when he charged that the Customs probe was shifed to B.C. because of pos- gible political effect. "If Premier Ferguson, as he said, knows of any evidence to be given to the Customs inquiry, why has he not prosecuted Certainly Pre- the O.T.A. is not enforceable." At Claremont meeting at Claremont saw Mr. George Duncan (of 'Brougham as chairman. At the meeting Mr. Sinclair paid his compliments to the Mail and Empire, of Toronto, whieh editorially, and according to Mr. ! Sinelair apparently seriously endeay- ored to show that the increased re- venues from "a large turnover' from Government stores could be {used perhaps by "Dr. Forbes God- |frey for the public health service" or for the reclamation of inebriates. "Seems to me that is quite a circle at work," commented Mr. "Just imagine: selling more liquor to make inebriates and then spend the profits ro reclaim aleoholic vie- tims. That has really amused me and I will forgive The Mail for pub- lishing my picture and my little bow The e, 3 Mr. Sinclair had paid detailed at- tention to redistribution, to the fi- problems and taxation pro- remarking that the Premier Province, Mr. Ferguson, had obviously been preparing for for a long time. Mr. Sinclair rather stressed point that he was not battling Conservative party. "The good Conservative party has stand in various matters at certain periods. But this stand by Premier Ferguson has not been endarsed by his party or bv a Conservative Con- vention, vet Mr. Ferguson told his party 'This is the policy I propose for Ontario." And later Mr. Sinclair in discuss- ing bootlegging and Mr. Ferguson | "He could not catch the bootlegger though he ran on schedule" re- marked that the people would say [to Mr. Ferguson "If you cannot | cateh the bootlegger though he runs on time tables then you're not smart enough to be Premier of On- tario."" "Why," nance mises, of the quite this campaign the the old Sinclair, 'if Mr. Ferguson was wrong with his double barrelled policy -- Govern- ment Control and Beer Parlors--on Oct. 18th, is he necessarily right with his single-barrelled policy since Nov. 2?" Another statement of Mr. |lair's was that Mr. Ferguson not be trusted to carry on the tario Government because he bronght the O.T.A. into polities.

Apparently there are many in our city who realize the advantage of advertising, but apparently also there are some, or I should say, par- ticularly one who thinks that there is good results to be had from mere- ly sticking his name to the bottom of an adv. with a lot of nonsense at the top of it. As a reader of your paper I get disgusted at times when I read the advs of one particular merchant who seems to take pleasure out of con- ienmining other merchants and their wares. By this particular merchant I am referring to Thos. Miller & Sons' Arcade, when they advertised in the Oshawa Reformer on Satur- day, Nov. 20. an ad, knockeing ull Jewish merchants, I did not he- lieve myself that this could be pos- sible from "Miller' a concern which we did not give credit for such ignorance. Were this merchant (the Arcade) to use his head and utilize the space in the paper to advertize his goods at their price, I believe that it would be to his advantage. I am not interested in the welfare of Miller but am interested in this city and 1 believe that co-operation is what gives any city success; but consistent knocking, I believe, only tends to create doubt in the minds of the public and they will continue to go out of town to do their shop- ping. Let not Mr. wrath upon the beaten him to it. advantazeg of co-operation believe it will be for the good welfare of a real good city. This is not the first time he advertised knocking advs., so I de- mand a public apology from Mr. Mil Miller pour out his merchant who has Let him study the and stores regarding the ad. in last Sat- urday's paper. Thanking you for this space 1 am, Yours respectfully, Yehoshia Ovrohom. 6000 T0 CONE OF CONFERENCE ful For Maritime Immi- gration Proposals Halifax, Nov, "1 am hopeful of the outcome of ference and of the effect which the proposals will have when they are put into force.
