"But #t just goes to prove," said the Premier, "that it's absurd for men to get up end make sweep ing statements of this character when decisions of the courts stand against them." "The younger generation," he said, "are being demoralized by the boot- leggers of this country. Only a few days ago a mother came to me and asked me what 1 could do to help her boy. How many mothers here to-night are keeping similar sorrows to themselves 7? Let me repeat what 1 have sadd before.
