The two questions submitted are plainly 44-»: “A than). should be no of the O. T. A. be may say so; 1f 1 . continuation Premier Ferguson’s frank state- ments, too, should meet with the approval of all except the most rabid partisans. He says if the Ontario Temperance Act is sus- tained, there is nothing to be done but to enforce the Act as it stands; if a majority favor Government Control, then it is up to the Gov- statement. In framing the two questions to be submitted on el- ection day, Premier Ferguson con- ferred with representatives of both the Prohibition and Moder- ation League forces. If the O. T.

The talk of‘ Ontario becoming a bar-room for beer- and whiskey-thirsty Ameri- cans is far beyond what the actual conditions will be. If sustained, we hope to see the 0. T. A. enforced more rigidly than ever, and a punishment for boot- leggers provided for that will make fl-.. uncanny. hpfm'e engaging in Inc [ICICII lvuo '5 "L. a The coming plebiscite is to find out what the peOple of Ontario want and temperance workers and others would do well to stick to the work in hand and not waste time berating the Government. Ontario should remember that it was under the Conservative Government that the present measures of temperance were enacted. They were given as the people demanded them, and the granting of the present vote is but majority must govern. Thursday, September 18, m4 Canada is to lose another in- dustry in the Libbey Owens Sheet Glass Company, of Hamilton, On- tario, which is moving its entire plant to Charleston, West Virginia. The action of the company is directly traceable to the low tariff legislation recently enacted at Ottawa, the company finding it industry with Without going into politics, The Chronicle thinks :t is time the peOple of Canada recogni'zed that an adequate protective tariff is necessary if Canadian industry is to survive. Even though Cana- dians pay a little more for their manufactured goods, we are firm- ly of the opinion they would be better off with the industries running in Canada, employing Canadian labor, which in turn would be a market for Canadian DTWULC, ............. dollars annually, close our home industries, and send our money to other lands for manufactured articles that might just as well be‘ made in Canada. There is no doubt free trade is a good thingâ€"â€"-if all countries ' ed itâ€"but until that time comes, it is nothing short of national suicide to let down the tion. THE BENEFITS OF LOW TARIFF THE PLEBISCITE its lower labor prosper nationally, must preserve a place within her borders for her mechanics and artisans. Without them, our towns and cities must become depopulated, and with the depopulation of our urban centres comes the loss of our home mar- kets, and hardship for all. The Blyth’s Corner correspon- dent of The Review last week complains about the expense at- tached to the Ferguson Govern- ment’s Agricultural Enquiry Board, and says that anyone with sense would know that the same con- ditions that affect the prosperity of the farmers of South Grey are the same all over the province, according to any newspaper reports he has read. ‘ We wonder what papers he reads! Certainly not The Farmers’ Sun, which from the first has had a reporter at every meeting of the Board. Even in Grey and Bruce counties, he cannot find two meetings where the same com- plaints were laid before the Board. In Durham it was hogs and cattle, in Thornbury it was Eheaper rates for fruit, and at Wiarton the farmers complained about the local shipping conditions, and the inadequate boat service between that port and Manitoulin Island. He has evidently forgotten that the appointment of the Enquiry Board by the Ferguson Govern- ment had the wholehearted en- dorsation of E. (3. Drury and the U. F. 0., even including J. J. Morri- son and The Farmers’ Sun. Evidently the United Farmers did J not look in the right direction when appointing a leader, and we would suggest that they hasten and inâ€" terview the man from Blyth’s Cor- ners before it is too late. There is no doubt the Normanby Diogenes could fill the position better than any other living humanâ€"in his own mind. wearing out a perfectly good type- writer writing open letters to Premier Ferguson. But we would not expect Mr. Raney to have much love for the Conservative leader, who times without number when in opposition placed the late Govern- ment’s Attorneyâ€"General in an awkward position. Many of Mr. Raney’s assertions appear foolish when analyzed. For one thing, his question as to where Mr. Ferguson got his man- date for the submission of the coming temperance vote is best answered by the present Conser- vative majority in the Legislature, put there by the peOple of the province a year ago last .June. Mr. Ferguson’s speeches all through the campaign stated in no uncertain manner that his Gov- ernment, if returned to power, would, when it was deemed advis- able submit a plebiscite to the peOple. Is not his present ma- jority in the House not sufficient “mandate” ? Mr. Raney’s insinuations that the Conservative party is linked up with the liquor interests are groundless, and intended, rather, THE RANEY LETTERS SOUR GRAPES may fool not manY- Now we know what's meant by “The land of the free and the home of the brave.” Leopold and Loeb are “free” from the punishment they deserve, and Judge Caverly was not “brave” enough to give them their just desserts. Winston Churchill, we think, was responsible for the statement: “It is easier to argue with a statesman than with a fool.” Win-. ston was right. Presbyterian Assembly at Owen Sound last summer, according to a prominent Presbyterian minister. Gee! We speak now for a place on ,next year’s delegation. SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST CHESLBY JBWBLBR William Causins Arrested on Mon- day Charged W’lth Offence Against constable Jones of Owen Sound left early on Tuesday morning for \Valkorlon, where he is one of the witnesses in a serious charge which has been preferred against William Cousins, of Chesley, in connection with his relations with a young girl alleged to he only slightly over 14 years of age. Cousins, who is a man of middle age, is a jeweler, and conducts a business in Chesley, but it is alleged that on Saturday even- ing he went away with the girl in IIIF 5“; ‘1 a..-_ question, was away with her all «lay Sunday, and was on the way to Southampton with her again when he was placed under arrest, and ton. It is understood that Cousins made certain admissions, after being properly warned, in connection with the case, and it is possible that he may plead guilty to the charge when brought before Magistrate; McNab at Walkerton. \V-lien it became known in Ches- ley what had occurred the feeling was very bitter against Cousins, and there was considerable excitement in the town, but there was no de- monstration, the people preferring to await the action of the authori- ties.

Master Fred Hargrave of Rock dills informs the Flesherton Advance that he has trapped 85 groundhogs on his fathei s farm during the past three years. He secured 35 this summer.

Kerr of Grand Rap- ids, Mich., who is on a short holiday with his brothers, Messrs. John and James Kerr, at Varney. v Mr. Kerr reports business as pick- ing up in the States, and says that though the presidential election year is usually a bad one for busi- ness, the general opinion that Cool- idge will be the next president, and that the Republican party is almost a sure winner, seems to have ofl‘set any attempt of business activities at slackening up.
