"Thousands of people are signing | the government control memorial. One hundred thousand copies were asked for, and no matter how the prohi "Liber ue to pile up signed- memorials until the gov- erhment tells us to stop and submits the straight question of government cantrol to the people in order that | We may bring about sane legisla- tion." This was the declaration of Ernest | Heaton in an address of over one { hour before a big audience in On- | tario Hall on Thursday evening. Mr. | Heaton severely castigated the On- |tario Referendum Committee, a nd | those associated with it, for methods {ot intimidation in attempts to foist { upon this country a rule of tyranny by which innocent social customs be- | { came crimes based upon a lie. Other speakers were Dr. J L. Austin, pro- fessor of surgery, Queen's Univer- | sity, and Dr. James cappon, vice- president of the Kingston Citizens' | Liberty League for Moderation. The | band of the Princess of Wales' Own | Regiment was present, and the large | audience, which contained a con- | siderable number of women, punc- | tuated the, addresses with applause. { Many banners greeted the audience, | such as "Vote No and ut Down | Fanaticism," "Government Control | Gives Equal Right," "Citizens' Lib- | erty League for Moderation," "Pro- | hibition Means Tyranny, Hypocrisy, Oppression." Col. J, S. N. Les)je, president, oc- [E | eupied the chair and introduced | speakers. | the first speaker, said in part: | Mr. Heaton's Address "All citizens of this country aim | | at the same thing. W: all want a | sober country and we all want obedi- ence to laws. We all know of cases where misery arises from the abuse | generation from a condition of that | kind, train their character and make | the next generation better than the The only difference between | prohibiton is that they are taking | greater risks than some of us are [willing to take. The greatest diffi- culty that I have had in voting this jtime is that the prohibitionist goes on the assumption that it is a crime to drink a glass of beer or whiskey. You all know that is a lie." He quoted from scripture Christ's atti- tude toward the use of wine. Today the prohibitionist would call Him a | friend of the liquor interests. One | of the miracles was the conversion of cording to Principal Hutton of To- | ronto University and Provost Mack- lem , Trinity College, both noted | Greek scholars), and no one can be a follower of Him and. vote for prohibition. 'When men tell a lie | they have to follow it by other lies. These people either appeal to you in ignorance or they lie to you. All you need to say to persons who ask you to vote for prohibition is that it is a lle and they will go away cring- | ing. If we are to have a new gospel | is-it to be that of a newspaper editor or of the chairman of the referendum committee? Democracy on Trial "We are living in very 'dangerous | times. Democracy is on trial | Changes come with rapidity, govern- ments change, thrones vanish and bolshevism threatens. We cannot risk the safety of democracy. Govern- ment by referendum is on trial, gov- ernment by rule of majority is on trial. Are we willing to risk this thing that lies a' the very foundation of government by which we live? If the verdict of referendum is to be binding upon the conscience of the people it must have the same test as that of a judge or jury. Who will deny that? There must be no fraud or intimidation, Everybody must have the same opportunity to study both sides. If rules are not observed, there is an appeal. The referendum committee was supposed to be neu- tral, to see that all votes came out." The speaker told of people in To- ronto being questioned on their atti- tude toward prohibition and their names were subsequently found to be off the voters' lists. At the last ref- | erendum it was found that was sa. | "Can you, therefore, be surprised to | hear that for some months men were fo Toronto and made arrangements with judges to accept lists of names to save them appearing in person to register? Can you be surprised that the Citizens' Liberty League got an injunction to. see that voters were registered in strict accordance with law and in person?

Is there any difference be {tween Satan in the Garden of Eder | land the spotter. A prominent To- Ironto man said: "We will make the | penalties more severe if the people | will not obey, and even hang them. That is the only way prohibition can be enforced." Mr. Heaton quoted Ernest Lang- | ley, enforcement officer af New York state, as saying that prohibition | could not be enforced and more liqu- lor was consumed than before pro- | hibition was made law. It has been proved a failure in the United States, land in western Canada, and only a madman would try it herq, He gave figures showing an enormous in- {crease in the use of drugs and gave lan estimate of 1,000,000 addicts in {United States and Canada. Are we { willing to endure this for a tempor- tary period of prohibition? Thera | to a permanent | ter, must be a change | policy of government control. Mon- {ey should not have gone to make | {millionaires in Quebec but into gooa roads in Ontario, under a system that would ensure pure liquor and beer for the workman and gradual restrictions such as the feeling of the country would support. In order to get this you must vote "No." Professor Cappon: said that the League was strong in its advocacy of government control, and Dr. Austin, in proposing a vote of thanks to the speaker, heartily endorsed what was said. He declared that prohibition could not suppress the traffic in poisonous substitutes for pure liqu- ors now being consumed with fatal results, Merchant of Fifty Years Retires.
