THURSDAY,
A MODEL PROVINCE.
ECENT statistics with reference to industrial, commercial antiso- cial conditions. in tlieProvince of’ Quebec make interesting reading. Quebec is by common consent a model province. happy, comfortable. wrullhy. law-abiding and home-lov- ing. ‘Fhey have the best roads lll Cainada. lltr-y arc but lightly taxed. they have ll. system of (education which sutisllred thein lllltl iii Lhclr largest cities universities, which will rcnipurrr favorably .\vil.h Lhc best in the world. They have hospitals and benevolent institutions and they re- ligiously look after their poor and their sick. It is conceded by her sis- ter itrovliiees that in sane govern- ment, provincial and municipal. and in the things that matter, Quebec has outstepped them all. Arid yet, to a certain class of mor- al reformers, to wit, our Prohibition- ists. the Province of Quebec ls a ver- itable Sodom and Gomorrah entwin- cd together, because she has com- mltted the unpardoniible sin of pluc- ing their sale of liquor under gov- ernment control. The sinpaccord- ing to this standard of morality, ls
they have actually legalized the sale ‘of the damnable stuff, that they have actually legislated to accept blood- money into their provincial treasury!
It will require n microscopic ex- amination and a careful religious scrutiny to find. in favor of probl- bltion, adlstinction between putting this so-called blood-money in the treasury to the credit of the tax- payers. and putting it into the poc- ikcts of the bootleggers. We. in this
~ Province, and our brethren ITPNOVII
Scotizi are feeding the boollcggers and getting all the liquor we want, Quebec is using the surplus from the sole of liquor for the benefit of the taxpayers and are probably not con- suming nny more llqiior per head than we are.
In the cosmopolitan city of Moli- trcal, where many nationalities are hivcd together, one sees less evi- than can bc scan in thc “rlry" cities of Clmrlottctown and Halifax. “Oh, but," say the reformers. "they are ilrlitking an awful lot. for they can get is so ciisllyl" They can gel. it no more cuslly from the legal vendor than wc can get it in Charlottetown or Halifax from the bootleggers. As to the number‘ who drink and the quantity they drlnk. we do no: know. nor does anyone else, nlthoug-i
dcncc of drink on thc streets
there are those among us who quote voluminous figures lo show how far gone the people of Quebec are in drunkenness. Such statistics prove nothing but the type of mind be- hind them. The clear, plain fact ls that Quebec ls a model province and has the officlal figures to prove lt, notwithstanding the fact that they are largely maintaining their public utilities with the profits from liquor sales. , ' m AS IT IS.
O far as the work of the Federal
and our Provincial Governments is concerned. what they have written for the present, they have written. The Federal Parliament is winding up and little more of important leg- islation need be looked for. The Pro- vincial Legislature has finished or abandoned such legislation ns it at- tempted imd the result ls largely ln the future.
What hasthe Federal Govem- ment accomplished? The one great need of Cnnadivtoday, as lt has been for years past, ls home emirlcy- ment. the development of home ‘m- rlustrles and the building up of ln- dustrlnl centres t0 provide ii ham» market nnd home employment, to so encourage nyvrleultiire as to induce illlllllll'flll\l..

TOO often the price of motoring ls the life of n. small chlld.
Accidents often are unavoidable, the fault of no one, and due solely to unfortunate circumstances beyond thi: control of man. The fact that they are unpreventable. however, does not mlnlmlze the sorrow that follows in their wake. The hearts they sadden and the lives they shat- ter call for one sovereign remedy. and that ls caution.
The beautiful. sun-shiny days of Spring and Summer are the unwit- tlng heralds of daily traffic tragedies. Thousands of small children who have no safe place for play are forc- ed lnto the streets. Thoroughfares are not intended to be used as play- grounds, but whether ll: ls right or not the street wlll continue to be utilized as a playground as long as cities are crowded and play space continues to be inadequate.
lf motoring ls tolcontlnue to ben source of unalloyed pleasure, every motorist must pledge himself to drive with care. particularly where children are at play. Drlvlng with] care perhaps may mean going more slowly than one desires. but lt ls wlint one would want another mot- orist. to do lf lils own child were to dart before an automobile.
