Annual Report shows a Slight Reduc tion in cost of Feeding Prisoners $9 Prisoners Cared for in County Jail Booze Must Not Come Back! The Ontario Plebiscite Committee Desperate because the O.T.A. has cut down drinking by 90%, the liquor trade seeks the death of the finest temperance measure Ontario has ever had. Distiller, brewer and bootâ€" legger are arrayed against the‘ forces of reform. The issue itself is sharply drawn, but John Barleycorn is using a new disguise. Only his desperation can explain his reckless effrontâ€" ery and his astonishingly low estimate of the common sense of No good citizen, familiar with the miserable conditions before The Ontario Temperance Act brought sobriety to the homes and happiness to the women and children, would delibâ€" erately vote for a return to the barâ€"room. Yet today Ontario faces, as the only aiternative to the O.T.A., a step that will lead to conditions in some respects even worse than the open The same sordid story comes from every mince where »alm«nnwnt "control" has been blindly a:m:d. More drinki g,moredrunkcnnas,morecrime,morc idents, more misery, more wasteâ€"and, above all, infinitely more of the curse of bootlegging. This prospect should send every earnest man and woman in Ontario to the polis on October 23rd to vote for the continuance, strengthening and vigorous enforcement of The Ontario Temperance Act. To legalize the sale of booze for beverage purposes, though in sealed packages, is to reâ€"establish the liquor shop 0. T.A. is Hated for Its Good W ork Only By Voting Can Ontario Citizens Defeat the Desperate Liquor Interests Rally to Its Defence! 2 Toronto Street, Toronto 'I'HE lawless liquor traffic dies hard. But good citizenship is a patient executioner in Ontario. Again and again Ontario citizens have registered their determination that the moral and econoâ€" mic waste caused by booze must cease. [ On October 23rd the men and women of this Province must tell the selfâ€"seeking fiquor interests still more emphatically that booze shall not come back. A halfâ€"million majority for continuance of The Ontario Temperance Act is Ianguage that brewer, distiller and bootlegger will understand. only 58. _ Of the 87 who were incarâ€" merated from time to time, 43 were ene previous occasion, 10 for the third time and 16 were frequenters, that is to say they had been in the jail more than three times. _ Of the total of 87 pr It is interesting to note just how these $7 people were disposed of durâ€" ing the year. Two of them were of unsound mind, one man and one womâ€" an, and they were taken care of in the ugual manner by being sent to the institution. Three were sent to the Ontario Reformatory after seryâ€" ing a short time in the jail and 15 were sent direct to the Reformatory. Three of the females were sent to the Mercer Reformatory at Toronto. Seven were sentenced to terms at Kingston Penitentiary which is an unâ€" usually large number for this County. 42 served terms, ranging from 10 days to 2 months in the county jail, including one . woman, and two of these received corporal punishment. The total number of days where the cost of the maintenance of the prisoners is paid by the Gov‘t was 1,314 whereas the municipalities of the county took care of the rest, aâ€" mounting to 1,067 days. prisoners, 6 of them were females without the former restrictions of the licensed barâ€"room, and bring back the treating system, the hipâ€"pocket flask, and the drinking club. To vote for government sale is to bring back to old Ontario the free dishpensing of that bottled misery which will blight and destroy the hopes, the character, the life of young and old in every community where liquor shops are permitted to exist.

(These lines are original and were handed in to us by a local poet and supporter of the Temperance cause.â€" Ed.) The deadly octopus of Drink And from our midst this demon cast With searchlight of Eternal Truth, We‘ll smite both fore and aft amain: He‘s Satan‘s lie, him we‘ll expose And brard him with the mark of Cain. And, since he‘s poison at its worst, We‘ll add the skull and cross bones Hath girded him unto the fray : And seeks to shackle our fair land, In woe and want and grim disma Synonymous his name has been 'With poverty and want and crime: And woe hath followed in his wake, Adown the years, since dawn of time In guise of Liberty, he stalks, His breath is as the poison asp, A virus touch in either hand : His sensual eyes are bleared and red What viler curse could blight our land ? A foe to virtue, truth and right, The bosom friend of greed and shame : Despoiling homes where peace and love Had reigned supreme until he came Again he seeks to usher in The misery of bygone years : Where his inglorious rule holds sway No dearth is there of woe and tears. With him we‘ll make no compromise, We‘ve nailed our colors to the mast "We‘ll try this quarrel hilt to hilt" A sheep without, a wolf within : His loathsome tentacles are bared To catch us in his grasp again. No quarter will we ask or give Until his legions we subdue. The gauntlet‘s thrown, the die is cast Our loins are girded for the fray : In season due, if we faint not, Will burst the dawn of brighter day. Jehovah, He our Captain is His banner justice, truth and right. He‘ll steel our hearts and nerve our souls, With Him we‘ll conquer in the fight.
