Opinion may vary as to the course . respecting "wet" legislation the Fer- guson Cabinet will pursue at this spssion of the Legislature, but public belief appears now to be unanimous that question of Government ol of the liquor traffic will be troduced during the session, if not the torm of a bill sponsored by '. the Govesnment, in the shape, then, of a resolution from Conservative members that is apt to provoke dis- cussion as lively as it may be lengthy. In a statement to the press yes- fay Colonel John A. Currie, mem- for Boutheast Toronto, predicted that in the event of the Cabinet not taking action on the question some members of the Conservative side of the House would do so and endeavor to precipitate a division on the mat- ter. Attorney-General W. F: Nickle pointed out to the press that no pri- vate member could bring in a bill covering Government control, be- cause it dealt with the revenue of the Province. Proposals, by way of & resolution, he admitted, put a dif- ferent complexion on the situation. In this regard, Premier Ferguson 'informed the press that the Legis- Mature was a free and open place, where any member could "introduce any resolution he felt like bringing forward. "Sooner or Later." J. 'A. McCausfind, Conservative member for Southwest Toronto, ex- pressed the belief that sooner or lat- er a "reasonable liguor law will have to be introduced into Ontario." ¢ "But until the Government makes up its mind," said Mr. McCausland, "to introduce this legislation --and 1 sincerely hope it will see its way to do it--we private members must content ourselves with just keeping on working. However, 1 feel con- fident the Government will decide on the right thing to do before very tong." Mr. McCausland was quite satis- fled that the question would be thor- oughly discussed during the session. Tor sevens) days gw the familiar - name of.

AN AMENDMENT MOVED By Mr. Sutherland With Refer- eve to Geir ly Ottawa, Feb. 9.--The debate on the Address was commenced yester- {day afternoon by Donald Sutherland (Conservative, South Oxford) in the House of Commons. Mr. Suther- land said that the principle of rural credits as outlined was wrong. It did not come within the province of the Government fo do things for the people which they ought to do for themselves, he said. It was true that a great deal of money was be- ing spent on agricaiture, but it was being spent in such ways as for travelling expenses of departmental officials who went about the country "worrying, annoying and discourag- ing agriculture in Canada." In all, $866,000 was spent this way last year. Mr. Sutherland was proceeding to draw attention to newspaper articles in which reference was made to "purchasing" support in the House, when he was interrupted by J. 8. 'Woodsworth (Labor, Winnipeg North Centre), who asked that the term be withdrawn. Several mem- bers indulged briefly in the techni- cal discussion which followed on the question whether the use of the term pursing, was parliament- wl (0 ak Nr. Speaker Lémieux; in giving his ruling, felt that Mr. Sutherland had no desire whatever to impugn the honor of any member in the] House. The honor and dignity of members in the cl ber, however, should be protected. Mr. Speaker, therefore, did not consider that the use of such terms as "bribes" or ["purchasing," even jin quoting from newspapers, should be allowed, Rt. Hon. Arthur Meighen appealed against the ruling: whereupon Mr. Speaker declared that his ruling was that the expression "purchased by legislation" was unparliamentary, and proceeded to call in the mem- bers for a vote. When the division bell * stopped ringing and the Speaker asked the House for its ruling, Mr. Sutherland rose and said that he had not used the words attributed to him. Mr. Speaker ruled that the motion was already before the Hoube and the division must také place. It resulted t!in the Speaker being upheld by six- teen votes, or 87 to 71. Resuming his speech on the ad- dress, Mr. Sutherland remarked thet if he had used the words attri- buted to him he would have support- ed the Speaker s ruling. He was pre- pared to bow to the ruling¢of the chair, oh " » ~ Amendment Moved. An amendment wag moved by Mr. Sutherland in the Jollowing Somme Conservative of Saint John-Albert, took the ground that the Govern- ment could mot "side-track'" mari- time rights by reference to a royal commission. The Government, he urged, should at once poly a remedy. W. F. MacLean, Copnserve- tive of South York, advocated the consolidation of all Canadian. rail- ways.

Johnson, aged sixty-two years, of Bast Oxford, near here, suffered such severe lacerations of the right arm that amputation of the arm was necessary. The accident happened on Friday last, as Mrs. Johnson was go¢- ing: to call her husband to supper. Mr. Johuson operates a carpen- ter shop, containing a power ma- chine, planing mill, band saw and other equipment. The shop is on the same propertyqas Mr. Johnson's home, and as Mrs. Johnson, whose vision was somewhat impaired, was going into the Shop to summon her husband, her sleeve became entang- fed in the gear of the planing ma- chine in some manner, and her right arm was drawn into the machine. Her hdsband, cries, threw off the power, and drag- ged her arm from the machine, but not before it had been badly crush- ed and lacerated. The attending physician decided that amputation wbuld be necessary, and the arm was removed just below the elbow. Mrs. Johnson © suffered ' greatly from| shock, and, because ofg her advanced age, her condition is re. ported to be serious. er ple "NOT PRINCESS OBOLENSKY.
