good citizens, no matter how tolerant they may be inregard to freedom to take a drink. To see young girls indulging the habit of frequenting beer parâ€" lours, with all this implies to the average mind, is depressing to say the least. It may be argued that many of the hotels with beverage rooms are adeâ€" quately equipped and observe the law very closely, but a number of them apparently have no real care or thought or business except the sale of beer. The inspection to date seems to have done littls to care or thoughnt or b The inspection to da better the condition the inspectors has t either case it is ino reports of | At the san that far to beer parlot selves.

At the same time there is no disguising the fact that far too many young girls are patronizing the beer parlours to the detriment of the girls themâ€" selves. Judging from the appearance of some of these girls, it is doubtful if the law in regard to supplying intoxicants to minors is as closely obâ€" served as it should be.

Allan H. Ferry, B.A., supâ€" ply minister at Davenport Road United Church. Revy. Mr. Ferry was quoted as saying that there are There are some people who feel that any beer parlours are too many. Even those who take what they feel is a broader view, however, will agree that there are too many of these places in Timmins and many other towns and cities and rural places From the inception of the beverage parlour idea there were too many beer rooms here, and in too many cases the wrong type of people were granted liâ€" censes. This too may be charged against ineffecâ€" tive inspection or interference with the proper work of the inspectors. Not only should the buildâ€" ings be of the right type to serve the public, but the holders of the licenses should also be the kind of men who will not bring the law into disrepute. The interest created in Toronto and the proâ€" vince at large through the report of the sermon by the preacher, and the sequel thereto, will not be in vain, if it is the start of a movement for fewer and better beer parlours. Unless there is such a soâ€"called hotels in Toronto and in other parts of| movement, there will be an inevitable and irresistâ€" this province where rooms can not be rented, and| able movement for no beverage rooms at all.

Alsc emphasis is given to the statement that Rev. Mr. Ferry did not criticize the Liquor Control Board or the government in his sermon. As many would? expect, it was also noted that the reports of the sermon were misleading and the minister was misâ€" quoted. No affidavits were taken and apparently no direct information given that will result in proâ€" secutions. It is to be hoped that Hon. Mr. Hepburn will exercise his usual energy to see that the matter does not rest as it is. The premier is absolutely right in demanding the coâ€"operation of all good! citizens in seeing that law and decency obtain so} far as possible in regard to the beverage rooms. But| ittis not fair nor practical to leave the whole onus on private citizens. There will be general agreeâ€" meéent that from the very first there has been lack of effective inspection of the beverage rooms. Inâ€" deed, there is a growing opinion that present con-i ditions in Ontario are worse than under the old condemned license law of years ago. is evidently on the increase, and the number of young people too frequently patronizing the| beer parlours is a matter of deep regret to all| them from the determination of the Therein lies the lesson of the Quebe Monday.

Most people will commend Hon. Mr. Hepburn for his prompt action in the matter. Charges of this sort, made by a responsible citizen and published in responsible newspapers, should not be allowed to pass unchallenged. The premier ordered an inspector of the Liquor Control Board to interview Mr. Ferry and to secure affidavits on which specific action might be taken. An official of the Attorneyâ€"General‘s department also accomâ€" panied the inspector on the visit, so that Rev. Mr. Ferry no doubt felt that he must substantiate any charges he might make. All this was emiâ€" nently fair and proper. Those who suggest charges should always be prepared at least to coâ€"operate with the authorities in seeing that the law is enâ€" forced. If Rev. Mr. Ferry had the right attitude and the proper motives, as no doubt he had, all this would meet with his approval. series he had planned to preach, he had spent many afternoons and evenings visiting beverage rooms and in making enquiries of proprietors of soâ€"called hotels in the city and on the highways. He was reported as telling of going to one hotel on one of the highways leading out from the city and the proprietor considered it a huge joke when he requested a room. "The proprietor told me T could get bed and breakfast, but no room," was the way Rev,. Mr. Ferry was reported as phrasing the matâ€" ter. The reports suggested that at most of the hotels visited by Mr. Ferry, the insinuation was constantly made that he could easily secure a room if he had a lady friend to look after.

A brother of the premier, it was proved, deposited provincial funds in his own name and drew the interest on them to be added to his personal account. The families and friends of some government members were kept practically as pensioners on provincial funds. There was suggestion that even children‘s names were on the payrolls of the government for contracts and employment. Corruption was said to be widespread at the expense of the province. The legions of graft and maladministration seemed to be firmly entrenched, but nothing could save them from the determination of the people. Therein lies the lesson of the Quebec election on Monday. It is an impressive lesson to all provinces, to all parties, to all governments, Dominion proâ€" vincial or municipal. It is the proof that in this democratic country of Canada the people rule, if they truly desire it, anda every once in a while when things pass the limits of fairness and decency, the people rise in their wrath to show that the people can and will rule. | At the present moment the lesson should be parâ€" ticularly suggestive to some of the provincial govâ€" ernmentsâ€"Ontario and Manitoba, for example. It should not escape the notice of wouldâ€"be municiâ€" pal rulers either. The lesson is plain to all that power must not be abused. Quebec made this eviâ€" dent enough surely on Monday, when with ballots they expressed the sentiment voiced by a former undertaker in Timmins:â€"*"You may run around for a while, but I‘ll nail you in the end." (GRAVEL AND SANDâ€"AND PLACER upon which the inspection seems to be inecffective and inadequate. * For forty years the Liberals had absolute conâ€" trol of the province of Quebec, and with a Liberal government at Ottawa, Liberal governments in most of the provinces of the Dominion, and all the power and prestige that these things imply, it seemed hopeless to expect that another party should win power in Quebec. For months past, however, former residents of the province of Quebec, now living in Timmins, have been foreâ€" casting exactly the result of the Quebec provinâ€" cial government. The people of Quebec, they said, were not forsaking the Liberal banner, but the leaders of the party had forsaken the people. Graft and maladministration had gone beyond all limits it was claimed, and the people in general were aroused and would in no uncertain way oust the government from power. This is just what happened.

As a matter of fact practicâ€" ally all Canadians are peaceâ€"lovers. No one wants war. But a great majority admit that they would fight to the limit of their ability were Canada attacked. In a rather remarkable editorial article in The Yarmouth Herald it is pQinted out that any world war of the future will mean that Canada will be attacked, and if it is leftf to the time of attack to defend this country, it will be too late. According to The Yarmouth Herald it will be a case of fighting for Canada outside of Canada, or taking a chance on being ~verrun at home without fair means of defence. The ediâ€" torial from The Yarmouth Herald in full is as follows: Pacifism on Its Last Legs It is always painful to have to..qdispel delusions, but it is about time that Canadian pacifists woke up and took stock of the present situation in terms Of reality.
