That by Mr. Cutts is entitled "The Close of a Breezy Day." The Mail & Empire calls special attention to this excel- lent picture, which is one of the best Mr. Cutts has produced. It is a large 'marine picture, notable for the living power of the waves as they dash up- on' the rocks, and the happy diffusion of light as it streams from the sun setting amid wind driven clouds. Mrs. Cutts exhibited a picture en- titled. "The Artist's Garden." A pleasing composition in which some beautiful peonies occupy the fore- ground. We are glad to note that both Mr. and Mrs. Cutts have con- tinued to 'grow in artistic power. Their work is highly appreciated at the Royal Academy. a -- (meee. MR. SINCLAIR'S MEETING A well filled house greeted Mr. W. E. N. Sinclair, at his meeting in the Town Hall, on Monday evening. The speakers were Mr. J. A. Browning, K.C, Mr. J. A. Graves, Mr. W. A Dryden and Mr W. E. N. Sinclair, K. C., the Liberal Candidate. Mr. F. M, Chapman: was billed to speak at this meeting, but was unable to attend as he was a speaker at a meeting of the Prohibition Union on thepsame evening. His place was taken by Mr, A. G. Browning, K.C, of Whitby, former Deputy Attorney- Gen. of Alberta, who charged that the Ferguson Government had for years been leading up to the conditions ex- isting today. "If the O.T.A. has been so openly violated as they say it has, and we know it has, they are re- sponsible by their deliberate failure in attempting to enforce the law." If Government control carried now, Ontario would ultimately go back to the sale of liquors. Mr. Sinclair pointed to the ab- surdity of the position .of Premier Ferguson in his utterances regarding the enforcement of the O.T.A. "Mr. Ferguson had said to his Prescott audience: "I know whereof I speak, because I happen to know some of the evidence which is to be presented to the Commission." Just imagine that!" said Mr. Sinclair, who ironically remarked that Mr. Fergu- son, with his knowledge of the evi- dence to be presented to the Com- mission, had not made prosecutions under the O. T. A. of those violations of which he said he knew. Now Mr, Ferguson makes believe to the people of Ontario that he has a fund of information which will show grave irregularities, If he has any such information it is an admis- sion on his part that he hds not been enforcing the laws of Ontario, but in order to make political capital him- self and divert the people's attention from the main issue he makes refer- ence to the chifting of this Commis- sion to British Columbia. Surel the Commission knows where it is to sit and what work it has to do, and if Mr. Ferguson has this knowledge he has been derelict in his duty to the people, and he has no right to say to the people of Ontario now that the O.T.A. cannot be enforced. (Loud applause.) Denouncing the Premier's Govern- ment Control policy Mr. Sinclair ask- ed: "If he has not been able to cope with the bootlegging situation under the O.T.A. how is he going to cope with under a Government control policy when the bootlegger will be able to improve and increase, their supplies by purchasing Ferguson's whiskey from Government stores? "If Mr. Ferguson has been unable to enforce the O.T.A., how will he enforce a more dangerous low?" If he has failed in regard to the lesser act, so much greater will be his fail- use in regard to the proposed legis- lation." intl fan ANNUAL MEETING Of the Children's Aid Society of the County of Ontario will be held on Thursday evening, Dec. 2nd, 1926, at 8 p.m. in the Simcoe United Church, Oshawa, Ont.

So many of my friends in the East have written me for an evaluation of the conditions under Government Sale that I am hoping for sufficient space in your:paper for a short note bearing on the issue before the On- tario Electorate. Judging from the manifesto of Mr. Ferguson as reported in the Sas- katchewan Press here, it would ap- pear that the whee object of the pro- posed legislation is the abolition of the bootlegger, rather than the abo- lition of alcoholic liquor--repealing a law in order to enforce it is a rather unique 'method of law enforcement to say the least, Judging from condi- tion in this province Mr. Ferguson is doomed to disappointment and the -bootlegger to an era of unintérrupted prosperity. : May I submit some facts which have come under my personal ob- servataion in a province where it is easy to buy liquor as to purchase pea- nuts, no permit being required: In September in one issue of the daily press there were over 20 cases of illicit traffic alleged. This past week two small towns near here have both been able to boast of Court cases arising out of illegal sale. On Arm- istice Day (in the morning) there were 11 persons in a city police court charged with selling liguor--that fs about one bootlegegr for every 2260 per population. It is up to the advocates of Goyv- ernment Sale to explain away the idea that there is an illicit source of supply. : Two classes of customers patronize the illicit dealers and always will do: Those who will not go and publicly purchase liquor, and! those whom even the Advocates of liquor 2 li H f | | { Il would consider too young to have it| COMING A.
