This case (with the exception ,of that of H. Shaeffer whose whereabouts are notâ€" known) was the last of the series of cases that followed a thorough investigation of highâ€" umdm” operations by a group of men in the Poreupine Camp, with connectjons alleged at Toronto and Hamilton,. The series of cases, ES will be remembered, resulted in aA number of fines, some jail sentences on men and â€" women charged â€" with illegally dealing in gold ore. Shaeffer did not await his trial, disappearing From Timmins overnight, and a warâ€" rarft was issued for his arrest. It is likely that his arrest will be made eventually and thus the whole series of cases will be cleared up. Mr. R,. Allen, Special Agent, was in Toronto last week for Benson‘s trial. Benson was a resident of Timâ€" mins some years ago ‘heing representaâ€" tive here for the G@urofsky Company. foreien bankers and brokers, and he had a wide acquaintance here.

Some time ago the quesâ€" tion came before the Poreupine Agriâ€" cultural Society and a vote was taken to the effect that the Fair be moved to South Poreupine. The move was only sustained by one vote and at the time it was felt thas this was not a sufficient majority for so important a matter. â€" Further, it was believed that the general opinion really favoured the Fair remaining at Poreupine.

At the same time it was apparent that permanent and adeâ€" quate grounds ard bumldings â€" are urgently required. It will be noted from the advertisement elsewhere in this issue and from dodgers issued this week, that a Special Meeting of the Agricultural Society has been ‘alled to deal with the question. The meeting will be held in the School, Poreupine, on Wednesday evening, Oct. 29th, at 8 p.m. paidâ€"up members for the present year and for the previous two years are entitled to vote at this meeting, according to the regulations of the Department at Toronto.

Gordon Osler, Treasurer The Moderation League of Ontario Let it be remembered that the system in Manitoba had been in operation many months before the people in Saskatchewan voted on this question. The conclusions are irresistible. Prohibition was considered a lamentable failure in Manitoba, a lamentâ€" able failure in Alberta, and a lamentable failure in Saskatchewan. For their prohbhibitory laws these Province adopted a policy of Government Control. And Prohibition has been a lamentable failure in Ontario. There is no substantial evidence anywhere that any of these Western Provinces would revert to its old prohibitory system. On the other hand, after less than twelve months, the revenues of the Province of Manitoba have been increased by more than a million dollars and for the first time in years they have balanced their Budget. No one contends that Government Control has yet attained its last degree of perfection. It is, however, contended that it is a better method of dealing with those evils with which prohibition pretends to deal, and that in addition the revenues of the Province benefit. Government Control can be had by marking your Ballot as follows : It is impossible to enumerate all the reasons prompting the change, but it is highly significant that, to take one example only, the Province of Saskatchewan, which for years had voted strongly, whenever opportunity arose, in favour of prohibition, should last year have voted decisively against it; and the significance of this is increased when there is taken into account what the people have been told in Ontario regarding Manitoba. The people in Saskatchewan have, by their geographical position, a much better opporâ€" tunity of knowing the conditions in Manitoba than have those in Ontario, and it will not be questioned that they had a much better opportunity of knowing the conditions in their own Province than people residing elsewhere. In spite of this, the greater argument of personal experience and c vation made them discard prohibition and adopt Government Control These men and women, just as is the case with the men and women of Ontario today, had placed before them all the usual stock arguments of the prohibition propagandist. They had placed before them rows of figures and lurid statements showing that prohibition was a success and that Government Control was a failure. NE of the most embarrassing facts that the advocate of compuilsory total abstinence has to face is that wherever his theory has been put into practice there has grown a strong movement against it; further, the longer the experiment of prohibition has been tried, the greater the opposiâ€" tion it has created. Time has always been against it. This movement is that in favour of Government Control. Had Government Control been dependent for its adoption on the votes of those who have always voted against soâ€"called prohibition, it could never have become the law of any Province in Canada. One of the most encouragâ€" ing things to those who have been active in the work of Moderation Leagues is that there have rallied around them everywhere men and women who in the past have voted with the opponents of the Leagues. Contrary to the statements made by the prohibitionists, these men and women were not and are not concerned with promotlng the interests of what is so euphoniously called "the booze business". They were not and are not men and women ignorant of conditions existing in their cwmn comâ€" munities. They were not and are not ignorant of conditions existing im other communities. They were and. are, for the most part, typlcal sound, sane and reasonable citizens of Canada.
