YEAR 80-NO. 136 LL PEOPLE CONDONE THE GROSS MISCONDUCT Of Whitney Government Asks "N. W. Rowell. AGAINST MISREPRESENTATIONS 2 OF THE PREMIER. With Regard to the Abolish-the-Ba Policy Government Forces Voted Dow All Resolutions Leading To the Curtailment of the Liquor Trafic. Special to The Whig Aylmer, Ont., June 12.--Are the people "of Ontario fess sen sitive than, the peopje of Hungary on questions affecting the honor of our public mea and the honest ad ministration of public affairs ? 1 do not believe they are." is was one of the statements made by N. W. Rowell, K.C, M.I"P, in his speech at the monster East Elgin ~ picnic, held hore this afternoon. r. Rowell was re ferring to the recent newspaper ro ports announcing that the Hungar- an cabinet had decided to resign . bo cause it had been proven that, the prime minister had accepted a pay ment from the Bank of Hungary, do- ing business with the government. Though' he derived no personal pe cuniary benefit from this monev, which was devoted to promoting political party purposes, it was held that trom a legal and moral point oi view it was not permissible for a minister to accept any money from any concern doing business wjth the state. "EB t as to the amount of the contribution," declared Mr. Rowell, "and except that the payment was made-in the one case to the: prime minister and in the other to the pro- vinvial secretary, all that was estab- lished in the « Hungarian case, Sir James Whitney and Mr. Hanna were forced to admit. The principles laid down in the case of the Hungarian cabipet applied equally to the Whit- nev government, with this important addition, that with the Whitney gov- ernment the acl was not only ille gal, but was erimi . Hanna had been forced {rom any cabinet minister in Great Britain, if any Dritish cabinet had ade measures to block the enquiry into their conduct and suppress evidence, does anyone for a moment doubt that public opinion in Great Britain would have manded and if they had refused to retire, their conduct would have wrecked the government of which they were mem. bers. It is no compliment to the people of this province to suggest that they will condone such gross misconduct. 'His Liquor Policy. Mr. Rowell By no means confined his remarks to the Whitney-Hanna charges. He gave special attention in this speech to the temperance is- sue. He protested against the mis. representations 'made by the prime minister in regard to the Abolish- the-bar policy, and stated in definite terms exactly what the policy meant, By it avery bar-room, that is hotel Nguor licenses, would be wiped out, and the treating system would be ------ DATLY MEMORANDA.

As to the shops at the present time, they exist in only about one-tenth of the municipalities ' of the province. The liberal policy, therefore, would mean in nine tenths of the municipalities the ¢om- pete abokitivn of tie retail sale of liquor. In the remaining one-tenth where shops now exist they would bo subjected to further restrictions and would be wiped out by local op tian where the eiectors so decide. Mr. Rowell referred to the unani- "mous declaration of war against the liguor traffic and its evils made by the recent pre-assembly congrees of the Presbyterian church in Canada. and to the simiia® action being tak- vi by the Methodist conferences, the Baptist conventions and the Congre- gational union, as weil as that al- "It is for you,"-he =aid, 'to make Your choice between the two parties on this issue.

He went over the definite reso- lutions moved by the liberals on various points leading to the curtail- ment of the trafic at the recent sess- ston of the legisiature and showed how the government forces had vot- ed them down In conclusion Mr. Powell reviewed the work of the last session, showing by definite examples how the liberal party stood for progressive policies and that the Whitney government stood for re-action. Among the pro< rressive policies submitted by the iberals during the session he in- cluded tax reform, workmen's come pensation, adequate factory daws. prosecution whines, the exten- sion of the mutMcipal vote to mar- ried women, contrasted with the con- | servative action in extending the vote { to corporations, the extending of tha | provincial vote to women who now {hold the municipal franchise, the { problem of rural denppulation, and opposition to the alienation of over | one million acres of the public lands readv taken by the Roman Cathnlie ehnreh and the Church of England in Canada.

OTTAWA'S SOLDIERS AFRAID TO "TREK" The. 43rd Regiment of Capital Wants Something Easier--Prefers to Camp at Petawawa. Ottawa, June 12.--Sa far nothing definite has been received from Kingston headquarters regarding the 43rd's application for camp at Peta- wawa or the proposed "trek." The 43rd opinioned that the "trek" under 'ertain conditions was hardly prac- ticable. As the 43rd and the four other regiments grouped with them for the "trek" are grouped also for camp, if these other regiments take kindly to the "trek," it means that the 43rd would have to go elsewhere than Barriefield for camp. If; how- ever. they all decide on going te camp, the 43rd will also likely go to Barriefield. All the Ottawa cadets will again he given six days' camp at Barrie field this summer, commencing with the 3rd of July. *ludes Supernumer the city but boy scouts and boys not attached to cadet corps who are over twelve years old.
