Member Canadian \Veekly Newspapers Association. If conditions at Kincardine are as bad as The Reporter's article would lead us to believe. then it is high time that something was done. No one should he aiiowed to break the laws of any country in this open-handed manner and get away with it. There is no doubt that of all our laws, the O. T. A. is the hardest to enforce. Prohibitionists themselves are loth to make busylvyiies of themselves and lay informations. and so long as infractions do not go too far. will wink at infractions of the O. T. A. that they would not countenance in any other law. There is no doubt that the O. '1‘. A. is broken in every muni- cipaiity in Ontario. but to what extent varies with the strictness of enforcement. which is only as strict as the local [Ellipt‘l’illlce people work for. Despite the criticisms heaped on the O. ‘T. A., the average citizen regards it as not as gooc. as the pro- hibition people claim, nor as bad as the "antis" would like us to believe. The weak point of the Act seems to be that this same ‘average‘" citizen. while tem- perate. does not intend to be mixed up in its enforce- ment, and in this stand is joined by the big majority of prohibitionists. The moral is that unless the pro- hibitionist element is prepared to lay informations at. every opportunity and come out in the open and prosecute infractions. there will always remain a certain element of uncertainity, for no reasonable man can expect any government to enforce a law that he himself is not willing to stand behind to the last ditch and, if necessary. get into the witness box and give the evidence necessary to secure the full enforce- ment of the Act. For some months past, judging from occasional information that leaked out from time to time, the town of Kincardine has been a mecca for bootleggers, and, if the information is at all reliable, it was about as easy to buy a drink of whiskey as an ice-cream «one. We have heard many persistent rumors during the past few months about these things, and, besides Kincardine, the whole county of Bruce was accredited with some very shady transactions in the-matter of the enforcement of the O. T. A., and some other laws. on the statutes. The rumors from Bruce county, like others from other sections of the pro- Vince, we have always taken with a grain of salt, considering that possibly, like Mark Twain’s death, the reports were greatly exaggerated. Last week’s Kincardine Reporter, however, would lead one to believe that there must be something in the reports, for Editor J. J . Hunter takes up the cudgels of war in no uncertain manner and says: There is a roughneck element that cuts loose in Kincardine too frequently. The time has come when this must cease. Bootleggers race up and down our streets on dance nights and Saturday nights in a manner that will be toler- ated no longer. The management of the dance hall have been forced to hire a man to guard the cars parked at the pavilion. Last Saturday night the Chinese restaurant was the scene of a dis- graceful row carried on by some of the young men who knew better. If they do not respect the families they spring from then The Reporter will hereafter publish the names of those who make a practice of carrying on this rowdyism. We regret that it may be our duty to publish the names of some of our suppssedly best friends, but we cannot any longer sit silent and tolerate this conduct. These young men come from the surrounding country. and also some live in our own town. A meeting of citizens held this week declared against this element being allowed to carry on any longer. A largely signed petition will be presented to the Council asking that a young man be appointed night constable. They have approached a citizen and promised him co- operation in cleaning up the situation. We want to impress those who have been playing fast and loose with the law that if the council acquiesces in the request placed before them that the new appointee will have behind him men who will back him up to a finish and clean up that element that would give this town a bad name. We await the Council‘s action and then will vouch for it that the bootlegger and lawbreakers will find this an unhealthy spot to carry on in. -_'__ 'â€"â€"v â€"â€"‘ If'Kir 'll‘dl 1e ("izen «rem ialh will at on the i If you don’t think this is a sordid, soiled old world, . k _ . , C" ‘ , ‘ . z Just try wearing wlme pants.â€"Wmdsor Border suggestions ot The Reporter and the committee of 4 . . . . . o . , , Cetzes Star.

Granting that the tenders are reasonable. the Council should lose no time in placing their orde1 for this new equipment. It is a matter that is most important. and the money necessam for the purchase should be considered in the light of an insurance or an investment. To our mind. the Council can take only one action in making the purchase. 11' Durham needs a chemical engine. then she needs a good one. We want a full equipmentâ€"a truck with hose carrier complete. that will relive the firemen and their officers from the necessity of too many outfits to look after in going to a fire. We want something that can get there with the least possible delay. Some of our citizens are inclined to the hand-propelled chemical engineâ€" that of the perambulator variety that you push down the street yourself. It is cheaper. they say, and will do the work just as well. Frankly, rather than have the Council waste good money on one of these outfits, we would sooner see them throw the whole pmposition in the air and let us go on as be- fore.

Durham is too large a town to have her fire brigade running around with fire extinguishers of the per- ambulator classâ€"there’s work enough after they get to the scene without hauling forty-five gallons of water possibly a mile. An English woman novelist says Americans spoil their wives by too much “dolling.” Mrs. Albert Gowen of Cleveland, Ohio has entered suit for divorce from her millionaire. husband, and it is supposed the petty irritations caused by a round-theâ€" world honeymoon in his private yacht are the cause. Judging from the above, the proper method with wives is to "treat ’em rough.” Between motor regulations and amusement tax regulations, income tax returns and sales tax remit- tances. business life seems to be one darn thing after another. Soon it won’t be permissable to sing an Irish song at a Scotch concert without first obtain- ing a permit of some kind, or a professional drivers’ license. The Government needs money in these days of stress, and it is evidently determined to strangle business to get it. The payment of the money isn‘t nearly so hard as the red tape demanded by the powers that be and the additional bookkeeping required to do it. The flight around the world of the British and and American flyers may be a remarkable “stunt" but so far hasn’t accomplished much. Some method of getting western wheat to tide-water at less ex- pense to the ultimate consumer, and a reduction in the prices of other commodities would be more to the point.
