When the Ontario Temperance Act was passed it gave the province pro- hibition to the ertent of abolishing the sretail beferage sale of intoxi- ecants. The Profince has no jurisdic- tion over the manufacture and whole- sale of liquor but a Dominion war- time Order-in-Council was. passed “which stopped the manufacture, the Jmportation and the shipment into any part of Canada where prvin- cial prehibitior obtained. So ng as this Order-i neil was in furce Ontario was di. .t it was repealed in 1919 and since then the manu- facture and importation of liqudér has been lawful and as a result we have “‘wet cellars” and “rum-running” to- day. But the Dominion government has passed what is known as “Bill26” which provides that if the legislature of any province shall ask the Domin- jon government to take a vote on the matter of importation, such vote shall be taken and ff it secures a Majority the importation of intoxi- cants for drinking purposes shall eease. Ag this measure does not pre- vent the manufacture or delivery of intoxicants with in the Province, the Ontario Legislature, to meet this difficulty, passed the “Sandy Bill" which provides that no one shall transport. carry, deliver, receive or take delivery of liquor for sale or consumption within the province, and '~ this law will come into effect in case the vote on importation favors pro- This will put us back in short spell before 1919. The vote will be on tthe question: Are you in favor of the prohibition of the importation, or bringing into the province, of liquor for beverage pur- poses? ‘And every voter, who wants to see a dry Ontario should vote “yes.” A bare majority of the votes cast will be sufficient to bring the prohi- bition into force, but it is hardly mecessary to say that the bigger the majority the better it will be.

Same Weather 62 Years Ago— The Banner is pleased to note that Mr, William Bradley, one of Lis- towel’s highly esteemed citizens, is enjoying fair health and able to be down street. Speaking of the early epring we appear to be experiencing, other sixty-two years ago when he was teaching school in Mariposa township, near Lindsay. “I attend- ed a Bt.

Since half the fun derived from witnessing ““Ruddigore” is due to the many surprises of its unusual plot, no outline of its story is n It is sufficient to say that it’ burles- ques the ertravagances of the familiar melodrama, the characters ‘being take-offs of the old-fashioned types of men and women who strut their fretful hour upon the stage. ‘The cast of this production of Rud- digore’’ consists of George Bogues, Atee May Carley, Bertram Goltra, Marionne Godbout, Dan Marble, Jos- eph Florian, Eva Quintard and others, with ea ftarge chorus and the com- pany's own orchestra. All these sing- ers have the happy faculty of taking the audience into thelr confidence un- til everybody thinks they are them- selves an actual part of the perform- ance, or rather that it isn’t a perform-. ance, but simply ‘actual happenings. ome actors or singers put on their costume and make-up. and wal through a part. But George Bogues in his costume and make-up as Rich- ard Dauntless in “Ruddigore,"’ does something more than that. He as- sumes the character, the looks and the personality of Ric ard Dauntless every time he walks on the stage in that amusing, role. Not to see him is té miss part of one’s education. New York adopted him as her particular pet and this city will do the same when he comes with the rest of the company to the Walker theatre. < As Richard Dauntless, Mr. Bogues scored the greatest hit in his career of many hits. .His make-up and his sailor dialect are artistic in every detail. He is redolent of sea breezes and he seems to be walking the deck of a ship.as he gets every bit of mirth- making in the character across the footlights. His dancing also is a sheer delight, and to watch him dance the sailor's hornpipe is to witness the real thing. Claims School Dentist Pulled Four Good Teeth Windsor, March 16.—Instructions were received this afternoon by Wil- gon and Wilson, barristers, to start an investigation involving the Wind- sor Board of Bducation and Dr, E. Biehn, school dentist. on behalf of Wiliam Chantler, a Wellington gv- enue citizen, who alleges that ser- fous personal injuries were suffered by his eight-year-old son as a result of Dr. Biehn extracting four sound and permanent teeth. The action, it is stated, is taken be- cause the school board has offered no explanation to Mr. Chantler's demand for an investigation of his charges. The writ will be served tomorrow, when the amount of damages claimed will be made public. The case also involves Miss Muriel Nash, supervisor of public school nurses. Miss Nash the trustees de- clare, is guilty of “disloyalty to the oard,” because she is said to have taken exception to Dr. Biehn’s meth- od of treating teeth. and because she gave the teeth that were extracted from the Chantler boy’s mouth to his parents. This act is construed as “disloyal,” To Remodel Grand Central— Mr. A. J.
