What has happened since the government | rived?. "One of the promises of the Mode for government control, was: 'The | pl its organization to the support of the officers of the Crown us the enforcement of the liquor control law.' But today the government itself and its newspaper organs admit that the gov- ernment sells only fifty per cent. of the beer and booze consu in the province, The other fifty per cent. is sold by the same old bootleggers who sold it under prohibition--brewers and liquor exporters, because of their political power. The Vancouver World, organ of the government, declared in an editorial 'British Columbia is the bootleggers' paradise,; and A. M. Manson, attor- ney-general of the province and official administrator of the gov- ernment liquor control act, said in a recent speech, 'The greatest bootle of all are brewers and export liquor dealers." .It is a good business for the beer and liquor men. y are getting rich at it. Official reports disclose e-government, through its sixty-nine stores, is selling for them annually twelve million dollars' worth of beer and booze, and newspapers friendly to both the government and the liquor interests t that brewers and liquor men are selling twelve million dollars' worth more through bootlegging clubs and blind pigs, a total drink bill of twenty-four million bi He a year in a province with a population of only 524,582. : How Drinking Has Increased One strong argument of the "Moderationist" is that under vernment. sale there will be really less drin and there will 4 no incentive to push the trade, but evidently it does not work out this way. The Moderationist, brewers and liquor men pro- mised that government control would lessen drinking and drunk- enness, but government liquor stores have increased from fifty- one the first year to sixty-nine last year, and the liquor sales in them have increased from nine million dollars the first year to twelve million dollars' worth last year. --How the sales in govern- ment stores increase from month to month is shown by the follow- ing statement, taken from the official reports: In April, last year, 'the sales were $788,675; in June, $984,958; in July, $969, 587; in August, $1,076,588. 1 asked a business man in Vancouver to explain this steady increase in liquor sales. "Why," he said, "that's easy. Our government is in the liquor business for profit. It wants to make a big showing of profits so as to hypnotize the people and make them satisfied with the government. So the government pushes its liquor stores into every community where it thinks it can make a profit, regardless of whether that com- munity wants a liquor store or not. " Advertising Beer and Whiskey. Another most objectionable feature is the persistent advertis- Jing of beer and whiskey. "The newspapers of British Columbia carry display advertisements of beer and whiskey. In one issue of al paper I found six different liquor and beer advertise- ments; bill were covered with them, and atnight the virtues of beer and booze were blazoned by huge electric signs above the highest building tops. "Try a nip to-night," urged one advertise- ment. 'You'll say there's none better after taking a drink of Grant's Best Procurable Scotch Whiskey. On sale by all govern- ment vendors.' 'How to keep well,' advised another advertise- ment. 'The government stores have a large selection of whiskies to choose from. Physicians recommend these in case of colds, influenza, ca affections, hay fever, flatulence, heart trouble and insomnia." 'One of the curses of the business is this persistent advertising of booze as a cure-all and a necessary stimulant,' said W. W. Pecks, leader of the British Columbia Pro- hibition Association. 'If prohibition did nothing more in the | United States than to take the booze and beer advertisements off 'the billdoards and 'electric signs and out of newspapers and peri- | odicals, it is worth keeping just for that." : _ Bootlegging Unparalled widely-advertised claims of the "wets" is that 'certain and swift death to "bootlegging." nced so often and insisted upon so stren- ble people are half inclined to be- Sxyetiente contradicts it absolutely. ich bootlegging anywhere as government control.

CHAUTAUQUA ANNOUNCEMENT The Dominion Redpath Chautauqua which opens here on July 10th and continues for four days, offérs such notable attractions as the irresistible comedy, "Cappy Ricks"; the Planta- tion Jubilee Singers; Geoffrey F. Morgan, well-known lecturer-educat- or; Bhaskar Hivale, native Hindo, in an enlightening and decidedly inter- esting lecture on India; Marshall Louis Mertins, eminent lecturer-re- citalist; the Marko Company, ma- gicians extra-ordinary; special child- ren's program and other unique en- tertainment features, The Popular Melody Trio, three young women instrumentalists and entertainers, will launch the Chau- tauqua on the first afternoon with a grand concert. Following a" concert by the same company at night, the well-known Marko Company, magicians and il- lusionists, will be seen in a great.pro- gram of magic and mystery. The always popular Columbus Entertainers, composed of Beatrice Baughman, pianist, saxophonist and dramatic reader; and Miriam Hoover, pianist and violinist, will give a not- able concert on the second afternoon. These young women will also rend- er a concert on the second night, im- mediately preceding the lecture by Geoffrey F. Morgan, "Success with Ease." This lecture deals with the biggest kind of success--that which effects the happiness of individuals. It is practical, wholesome, worth- while. Bhasker Hivale, a native of India, former newspaper man in Bombay, and a well known lecturer, will be heard in a highly informative lecture, "The New, India", on the third after- noon. Mr. Hivale is thoroughly con- versant with India and her people, and describes conditions as they act- ually exist there. On the third night, "Cappy Ricks," great sparkling comedy, will be pre- sented by a metropolitan cast of actors. 'This rollicking play is based on Peter B. Kyne's amusing "Cappy Ricks" stories which appear in the Saturday Evening Post. "The Gold at the Rainbow's End," is the subject of an inspiring lecture- 'recital to be given on the fourth afternoon by Marshall Louis Mertins. At the last night of the Chautau- qua, Joy Night, the Plantation Jubilee Singers, noted Colored bet, will be heard in a splendid concert con- | sisting of plantation songs, lullabies and quaint negro spirituals.

Hutcheson, Manager Plantation Jubilee Singers Popular - Chautauqua Attraction The Plantation Jubilee Singers, colored singing organization of note, will be heard at the coming Dominion Chautauqua in splendid programs ranging from rollicking plantation melodies to religious hymns or spirituals, # The Plantation Jubilee Singers hav e appeared with great success before representativé audiences everywhere, They are educated people and trained musicians who represent the best attainments of their race. The music which they will feature was conceived during the old plantation \ere 1s that.of the American negro; It days in the United States. This type of music possesses a rhythm and melody found, perhaps, in the musle of no other race. Negro folk songs and plantation airs are familiar to everyone, The programs of the Plantation Jubilee Singers will contribute greatly to the enjoyment of Chautauqua audiences here, NORTH ONTARIO RIDING MAY DISAPPEAR According to the draft of the new Redistribution Bill it Iooks as though the Riding of North Ontario will dis- appear. The Townships of Scott and Uxbridge are to be added to South Ontario; and Brock, Thorah, Mara and Rama are to be included in the Riding of Muskoka. Seno REFORESTRATION Mr. Geo. Coulton planted out this spring on the Stevens 'Farm, near Shirley, owned by Mr. Osler, 125,000 young trees, covering about 65 acres. Mr. Coulter says the Port Perry boys that helped him are good reforesters. This is a good move and will make a fine forest some day. The trees are mostly pine. Mr. Osler has a large plantation of pine at Pine Point, Scugog Island, where about 22% acres were planted in 1924, some of these trees now reach a height of 18 feet.™ nid ---- WHAT IS A MASON? In a recent book, entitled "The Builder, a Story and Study of Mason- ry" the following answer is given to the question--"What is Masonry?" "When he can look out over the rivers, the hills, and the far horizon with a profound sense "of his own littleness in the vast scheme of things, and yet have faith, hope and courage, ~which is the root of every virtue. When he knows that down in his heart every man is as noble, as vile, as divine, as diabolic, and as lonely as himself, and seeks to know4o fore] give, and to love his fellow man. When he knows how to sympathize with men in their sorrows, yea, even in their sins--knowing that each man fights a hard fight against many odds. When he has learned how to make friends and to keep them, and above all, how to keep friends with himself. ever the name of that faith may be. When he can look into a wayside puddle and see something beyond mud * and into the face of the most forlorn fellow-mortal and see something be- yord sin. When he knows how to pray, how to love, how to hope. When he has kept faith with himself, with his fellow-man, with his God; in his hand a sword for evil, in his heart a bit of a song--glad to live, but not afraid to die! Such a man has found the only real secret of Masonry, and the one that is trying to give to all the world. snl) e-- A LITTLE NONSENSE . "As I understand it." said the heathen, "you propose to civilize me." "Exactly 80." "You mean to get me out of habits of idleness and teach me to work." "That is the idea" "And then lead me to simplify my methods and invent things to make my work lighter." "Yes." "And next I will become ambitious and rich, so that I won't have to work at all." "Natur- ally." "Well what's the use of taking such a roundabout way of getting just where I started? I don't have to work now." SOO HOW YOU GET EDUCATED (Collier's) It is impossible to get at life * through books. You must get at books through life. We do. not hear of the Founder of Christianity write ing anything, nor does He seem. to have been & great reader. 8; of the university men of His day. He declared that they had eyes and saw not; ears and heard not, True education consists in learning rightly to use our eyes, our ears, our hands, and our minds, so that each one of us, for himself or herself, may make a .new discovery of the we live in. Thus each of us will more fully and at the same time en rich the lives of others. = 0 0 Oe
