HADD K Jeweller Watch Repairing a Specialty Bowmanville Writing in the "Canadian Courier, "The Monocle Man" protests against the hue and cry which has been raised against the appearance of the preacher in politics : " MoraHssues.' -Let us not boggle oyer that fence. Let us not attempt to decide what issues are 'moral' andl what aje not. We mieht have trouble. The best _ Y out of it is to invite the Preacher to give us his considered opinion °^ r and let us take that opinion for what it is worth. He is a citizen. He has a vote and, on polling day, he will cast it--unless he is a shirk. Why should he, ° f "J men, be debarred from telling us how he is going to vote, and why ? The very laci that he is more likely to be disinterested than the average man is a reason in fa - our of his intervention--not against it. Some tells us that he exercises too much influence when he speaks. If he exercises exercises any more influence than is properly his, that is not his fault--that is thefault of the pew.

Bell Phone 186 Editor Statesman -.--The r liquor quèstion has been looked upon mostly as a moral question until recent years the great railroads and other employers of labour began to refuse to emp oy men who drank. Of late years, however,, the great scientists have thrown a light upon it that has stirred the world into great activity and that should cause every lover of his country to shudder at what is ahead of us if we don't wake up. It began in this way : The great nations began to observe that the recruits to the armies were getting smaller and that an increasing number had to be. rejected on account of some bodily infirmity. Royal Commissions were appointed to look into the cause or causes. These Commissions Commissions all report the same thing, that the principal causes of this. degeneracy was the drinking habits of the people. The German report ended by saying that if the beer-drinking habits of the pèople were not reformed "in a few generations there will not be Germans capable ot defending defending the Fatherland." Recently the Commission appointed by President Roosevelt, in the United States said^ that if the drink question was not settled inside of ten yéars some more verile race would write the epitaph of this republic. The German Emperor has recently said that the great battles of the future will be won by sober nations. i This is a phase of the question that is not yet fully known--that alcohol is causing degeneracy of the people who use it freely to such an extent as to threaten their extinction. It is now pretty generally generally conceded that it was whiskey rather than the Japanese that defeated the Eussions. Eussions. This view of the matter has naturally created great alarm in the old countries and most of the Governments are taking measures to spread the truth by means of handbills, posters, lectures and other ways. I That is something that has been neglected neglected "by the authorities in this country. Give the people the truth and trust them to protect themselves and their children. (Sgd.) H. ARNOTT, M.
