The vote on the question was close, being 25 to 18.

Canadian System for,States Speaking at Buffalo on Saturday night, Governor Roosevelt, of New York State, probable Democratic can- didate for the Presidency, demanded the repeal of the Eighteenth Alfiend- ment and the return of liquor control to the individual states. In so doing he was virtually advocating that the United States adOpt the Government Liquor Control system which operates in eight of Canada’s nine provinces. One of the main arguments which he used was the necessity of diverting to the state treasuries the immense re- venue from the liquor traffic which now flows into the hands of bootleggers and Speakeasy owners. He said that never was there a time when the sorely pres- sed state governments needed money more than they do today. In his view it is essential that they appropriate the hundreds of millions of dollars now going into the pockets of the il- licit liquor dealers. If Mr. Roosevelt secures the Democratic nomination for the Presidency he will make the abal- ition of prohibition and the substitu- tion of the Canadian Government Control system one of the planks in his platformâ€"Mail and Empire. give others the benefit of their ideas.

THE DURHAM CHRONICLE Chain grocery stores are barred in East York Township from receiving direct relief orders amounting to $10,000 monthly. East York’s action is similar to that taken in Scarboro. The chain stores are barred because the Township Council decided relief orders could only be filled at stores giving credit, and this affects three chain stores which Operate on a strictly cash basis.

Short prison senténces being dealt to dope peddlers were nothing but a farce as far as blotting out this evil was concerned, Dr. A. J.

Detec- tives and stat! engaged in bringing these people to justice were the finest in the world but when the sentences were so short the offenders returned to their old habits. He urged. that legis- lation be enacted requiring sentences which would terrify dape peddlers, that sanitarla be actablished where dope addicts would be treated rather than punished and warnings against the evil of narcotics be introduced in school curricula.

A call to 400,000 persons to pay $1,000 a year for 50 years and thereby write off all the war loan obligations to the United Statse, was issued recently by Arthur H.

A single individual might make as many of the pledges as he wished, payable on July 4th each year. Twenty-four persons were made homeless in sub-zero weather early this morning when fire swept five stores in three combined commercial and apart- ment buildings in Ottawa.’ Ninety firemen fought the fire for five hours.

In the next three hundred and twenty-five feet of drilling only very slight evidence of water was ever detected. The drill- ing of late has been in white powdery limestone and geological experts advise that this kind of rock will probably continue to a depth of fourteen or M- teen hundred feet and that if water were found in it it would probably be salty. In the last strata of water-yield- ing gravel above the rock, the well. which to that point contains a thirty- inch casing, was tested and found to yield at the rate of fifty thousand cal- lons per day whereas two hundred and fifty thousand gallons is the quantity required.
