The opponents of the measure in Oshawa, wanting to get out material to convince the electorate that the suppression of.free trade in whiskey whiskey is not desirable, ask this grouch bearer bearer to spew out his loathsome views, which results in a double column article in "The Vindicator."» We praise the editor for disclaiming any responsibility for the stuff by putting the word "advertisement" over same. t . • This grouch, to. emphasize his senile remarks, remarks, pictures Bowmanville as a horrible example for Oshawa, refers to our having adopted the Scott Act at one time and soon repenting of our folly and donning, sack cloth and ashes, repealed it.

Does he realize that better thinking travellers travellers will not stay in Oshawa at nights but come to Bowmanville instead ? The grouch pleads with his people to allow Sunday street cars which were de- CORRECTION barred by a "oigoted majority in the town Council" and for a continuation of a licensed system of selling whiskey to the public, and to not appro ze of "puritanical legislation" to "strike a deadly blow to our most cherished hopes and aspirations." Oh, ye advocates for unrestrained whiskey, whiskey, is this the best you can do?

I also wish to say further, that I was in error in using Dr. Hillier's name as a member of the Roads and Streets committee. committee.

In discussing how best to guard these^voung lives from the temptations of city life, Mr. Moss argued argued for honest and clean officials in every civic office and department and for such officials as have in them a genuine love for the boys of the city." Commenting on this speech The Christian Guardian of Dec. 25 says: "We fear that men have forgotten that boys are worth m re than sky-scrapers,^factories and storçs". Is there not a lesson in the foregoing paragraph for Bowmanville electors n xt Monday? If we interpret thé lesson alright alright it says, vote for men for mayor, reeve and councillors, who will he p the boys of grow up to be sober, inuustrious, respectable men, by standing firm for local option and thus keep the temptations of the bar-room with all its attendant evils away from the boys of Bowmanville. Mothers, wives, sisters, use your influence to elect men who have been loyal . and true to Local Option remembering that the boys and girls are our most valuable asset. All members of the T912 Council are offering for re-election for 1913. They are all favorable to and guardians of Lo cal Option and desire to see it successfully enforced. enforced. The Christian Herald commenting commenting on Attorney Moss', address, to which reference has been made, answers beautifully beautifully the question, What is the remedy? Elect a mayor with a heart full of love for children, good men with ideals for heads of departments and committees, honest officials whose public life and conduct are a living example and an inspiration and who will conduct every branch so Mlat the environment of childhood and you.h wpuld be bettered, men who will have personal influence over the bovs and who will awaken in them true manly ideals of life and to instil a proper horror o'f lawlessness lawlessness and crimè. How singularly ap- p r opriate are these words to Bowmanville electors who are asked to elect men to the council who want to control the board for the purpose of helping to bring about repeal of Local Option in this town.
