A. and advanced temperance legislation to be clouded by 'un- gj dcrupilon misrepresentation about the sugguetion of the sale of beer. I have said that it was a mere incl dent to the powers to be given to the commission, in hope that it ight serve a good purpose, but if is going to be magnitied by those interested In the defeat of the Gov- ernment of the province into a posi. tion of importance. that is not war: ranted, the Government will not abandon any the glass through private agenclss at all. "If necessary to present clearly ta the people the principles of govern- ment control and to see that it has| due consideration, I will require that all Hquor, beer as well spirits, be sold through government stores, but will arrange to protect the poor man's rights by seeing that he is able to secure a bottle of beer at actual cost through government agencies. "This question is infinitely bigger than the sale of beer. It is a matter of protecting thé youth of the prov. ince, and I am more interested In the boys and girls of Ontario than in any method by which beer will be sold." Bootlegging Cursed Canker.
