Some of the students interested in curling are thinking of getting their hand in at the game this winter, and are considering re-organizing the now defunct curling club which used to exist among the undergraduates. Probably the fact that the curling rink has been given a more promin- ent position where the students can | not help but see it every day of the week has aroused the interest in the 'roaring game", As a result of further develop- ments communications will be car- ried on by the Levana society with the view of participating in a debate with McGill girls. It was left for the midgets to "cop" a championship again this year and Karl Quinn, who was a de- ciding factor in the winning of the Junior hockey title last winter, was again in the foreground booting the team to victory. The students ad- mire the juniors who all year have struggled along picking up the game as best they might and getting prac- tice after the needs of the other teams had been attended to. It takes more than a downpour of rain to dampen cheer leader Hold- croft's enthusiasm and at the soccer game Saturday afternoon Queen's now famous leader was on the job urging his team to victory. The play-off of the interfaculty games will wind up the rugby season at Queen's. There has of late years been some attempt to have these games played off earlier in the seas- on but again this year the games will likely have to be played off under rather bad playing conditions. In preparationifor the annual per- | formance of the dramatic club in have been preparing seémery and the necessary equipment. Although home-made the equipment is said to be a credit to the makers, | Letters to the Editor Learned Professor Taken to Task. Elginburg, Ont., Nov, 18. --(To the | Editor): Many of the good things | that you place in your excellent paper make enjoyable reading, but some- | times we get wormwood articles that make us draw a long face. 1 cer- tainly must disagree with that learn- ed professor who says that drunken- ness is better than disrespect for law. If prohibition is on our statute book, it was put there as the verdict of the majority of the sane and décent citi- | zens of this country, and it is up to! our authorities to see that the law | is enforced. Bootleggirg is a posi- | tive disgrace, and if sterner meas- | ures are taken hold of this nefarious | business can soon be entirely sup- | pressed. Who are the gentlemen who are so anxious to see us feturn to the old boozing hahits? The gentlemen who can make rich profits out of the degradation of their fellowman. Their slogan is: "Gold. I will have. Let man be damned so long as I can fill my pockets easily and plentifully, with gold purchased at the awful price of destroying the body and soul of my fellowman." The individual, | whether he be a professor or in any | standing. in the country, who up- | holds the accursed liquor traffic is simply a decent pagan, not a Christ- ian. Such people should be banish- ed to that country where there is no God, no law, no cecency. I mean un- fortunate Russia. It is said by reliable authority that Ontario has 150,000 autos for pleasure. Should we possess those autos today if we had not had pro- hibitory laws, which have enabled so many of the unfortunate victims of the drink curse to get deliverance, and now able to purchase an auto in- stead of poisoning his body and en- | riching a few liquor sharks? I think | that one can see at a glance that we | 'have entered into a new era in this country, thank God, and we don't intend to go back again to drunken- ness and poverty and rags to satisfy a few godless pagans who want to en- rich themselves at the expense of our weaker brother. Let us be very plain and blunt, and I pray, dear sir, that your noble paper will at all timeg ad- vocate prohibition as a grand protec- tion for weak humanity and the bet- ter prosperity of our splendid domin- fon. Believe, Mr. Editor, one who believes in law enforcement. --REV. JOHN PUTTENHAM.
