The recent victory of the dry forces in Prince Edward Island in the voting to say whether or not the province should stay in the prohibition column, is s rather hollow one if one is to belim the dil- pstch sent from Ottawa by T. H. Bhgklock, . M writer of the Toronto Mail and Empire. Mr. Black- In speaking on this question it is well to re- member that each summer Ontario entertains a very great number of United States tourists who drive slowly, sanely and carefully, enjoying the scenery as they pass through the country, and whose trade and comfort is worth a great real more to the natives of this Province than that of the whoopee class whose main idea seems to be to “step on her, kid”. In fact the writer was told only this summer that driving in Ontario with its polite and efficient trafl‘ic officers and its reasonable speed limit was to be greatly preferred to motoring in Michigan or New York where speed limits are unknown and ac- cidents common. And our informant was from Michigan and a member of the Detroit Automobile Club! It depends on how you look at it. If one is out for a “time”, and doesn’t care what happens, then the speed limit is a nuisance. But if 'one is merely out for a month or so to take the faniily on a little holiday jaunt, then a reasonable speed limit and a law that is sensibly enforced is a real protection. We do not think we are giving away any secrets or getting anybody into trouble when we say that it has been quite some time since we knew of any motorist being summonsed for doing up to fifty miles an hour on an Open highway. But after that, watch our humble Opinion fifty miles an hour is fut enough for anybody. It is all very well for the tourists from the United States to'dwell on the amount of money they leave in this province each summer. We appreciate this and would like to see tourists encouraged. It is another thing, however, when we are asked to res- cind our laws, made for our own people and gener- ally approved by them, in order that a few irrespon- sibles from Michigan or any other non-speed-limit State may burn up our highways with their high- powered cars and make traflic unsafe for themsel- ves and everybody else. We are in accord with the idea to give the United States tourist even a little better than a fifty-fifty deal, but at the same time we expect that they will abide by the Ontario laws in general when they visit this country. Were we to make a tour of the various States in the Ameltcan Union we would expect to have to live up to the laws of those States so far as we knew them, and if the speed limit happened to be thirty-five miles an hour we would simply pay the fine and say nothing if we were picked up doing sixty. limit is fixed at 35 miles. 'l‘ney couia non no in m any similar State at home, so why should they ex- pect the privilege here? It is quite possible that the motorists from Michigan, where there is no speed limit, pursue the same tactics when entering Ontario, and if so, they must expect to get into trouble. The fact that a motorist is from Michian or any other State in the Union where speed laws are unknown does not'en- title him to run wild in Ontario where the speed limit is fixed at 35 miles. They could not do it in Whoever is afraid of ubmittim m 9868““. ‘a’vit or "union to the test of has discussion. ‘0 M0 in 10170 with his own opinion than with th Truthâ€"WA T SON . a long time thought that the United States tourist had rather the better of the argument. We have seen them do things and get away with it which, if an Ontario motorist were the offender, he would be promptly summonsed. o, Until we have further evidence 'that the charges made by the Detroit Automobile Club are correct, we must differ with that organization. In our observance of traffic law enforcement by the officers up in this part of the Province we have for PAGE 4. The Detr'it Automobile Club is reported to have advocated the boycotting of Ontario by United States tourists because of the discrimination prac- tised by the provincial traflic officers and magis- trates and the fining of visitors from the other side of the line for infractiOns of the Ontario speed laws. As a result there is to be an investigation by the Government of the alleged charges. This decision will be received joyfully by the people of Ontario as well as by the Uni States tourists or the Detroit Automobile Club. e Ontario Government or the Ontario people generally have no desire to have the laws of the province enforced so rigidly that prose- cuticm becomes persecution.

We note that an Anglican clergyman’s life was saved .when he was brought from a post on James’ Bay to Sudbury by airplane. He was suffering from empyema. We looked that up and found it was “an accumulation of pus”. We were afraid at first that it was a case of nervous prostration due to won-yin: over nonpayment of back salary. “Poured Gasoline to Light Bonfire; Lsd Will Recover,” says a newspaper heading. The last three words constitute the news part of the story. “Dog That Bit Woman Not Victim of Babies” says a heading in ’a Toronto paper. That should make it plain enough. It is quite evident that the "That was a mean man who on being informed that his neighbor, after firing five shots at his wife and missing each time, had been arrested, remarked: “He deserved to be.” “shin-plaster” because it is too small will advocate that the Canadian paper money be also reduced. Florida, despite the meteoric rise of the past few years, is said to be in the worst condition finan- cially in her history. Banks have closed their doors, business men who a few months ago counted their money in thousands are broke, and everything is in a most unsatisfactory condition. It looks as if the old adage, “Easy come, easy go,” is working again, and that the tale of the hare and the tortoise was something more than a fable. The new small United States paper currency is now in circulation here. And now we await the time when some of those who oppoae the Canadian A daily exchange last week said that the price of wheat was “teetering”. Let it teeter. So long as it doesn’t totter everything will be satisfactory. For the past several years the tales of prosper- ity that came out of Florida were enough to fairly dazzle one and make him dissatisfied that instead of being in this land of promise and opportunity he had to eke out an existence in this more northern and colder clime. During the past few months the story has changed and now from this most southerly State of the Union come tales of hardship that make one glad he is still a resident of prosperous Canada. Man is a feeble creature at best. The great major- ity of us crave for a life of ease. A man’s is measâ€" ured by the money he has accumulated and how easily it has been accomplished. He craves for the mild climate of the south in winter time and will praise a climate of one hundred degrees in January that he will curse in July. All the time it is some- thing difi‘erent that appeals, and the far away fields that look greenest. An article headed “The Men Who Can’t Talk” has been going the rounds of the press recently. Now, will someone please write something about “The Women Who Can’t Talk”?. roam about in public with a sanctimonious exfires-. sion that the apostles could not mimic and then, when they think they are not being observed resortx to tactics that would make a self-respecting yeggman blush. Be yourself. You might a whole lot better be an advocate of government control and say so, than one of these worms who talk prohibition and drink whiskey. Surely our Eastern friends have not forgotten that if they “to thine own self be true . . . . thou couldst not then be false to any man.” If there is anything we despise it is one of these creatures who Without going into the argument as to whether prohibition is right or wrong, we would think that a system of government control where a tab is kept on the stuff is to be preferred to a system which says that liquor is prohibited and then openly encourages smuggling. Evidently this liquor business is a funny thing, and the more it is analysed the less positive one becomes that either is right. We could hardly think that an elector supporting prohibition could justify himself if he bought and drank smuggled liquor, but this must be what they are doing down in Prince Edward Island, and what they intend to do in Nova Scotia when they‘get a chance. if the report is true,‘ and one can namely picture a special writer of a reputnble newspnper, under his own signature, writing that yhich is false.
