Those pepole do not tinder- stand anything but the religion of force. "Force without stint or lim- it," as President Wilson said when the U. S. entered World War No 1. There has been too much self- as- surance and complacency in our admmlstration. Otir war cabinet seemed more concerned with winn- lntz the election than dOlng or causing to be done our proportion- ate par-t to help win the war.

Strz-Why all the secrecy ln connection with the Pleblsclte to be held on June 25th? Ixrasmuch as this ls supposed to be an expresson of opinion of all the people, and has to do with the liquor question. I respectfully suggest that everyone who has reached the age of understanding should be permitted to vote, be- cause liquor legislation for the future should be of tar mo:e 1m- portance to the rising generation. than to those who have alters’! formed our habits along these lines. Another suggesvtlon 1 wovld 11KB to make, is that voting shJuld be open, in view otl’ the fact that lt is not, a political issue. 1t would only be right that each and every person should openly declare him- self. or herself, on the subject and settle for all time the cliarg: and counter charge that the bootlepgers vote for Prohibition, to boost t-lie.r own business. Now that the Report of the Com- mission on Dominion - Provincial relations has been made publc. the Province will not have the same need for‘ revenue from the sale of liquor, as a part or thetr reg- ular income or revenue, and 1 re- apectlully suggest that all the not profits from the sole of liquor be used to build and equip social clubs all over the r ovince, where our young people can meet in the evenings, and dance, play cards, pool and listen to the radio, under supervision at kindly tsmperance people, who will see to it that the yongsters have \ tzoncl tzme, where they can be ectilciite~< Utwcially by example. of the bctieizts to be de- rzved from total abstatnence, be- cause after all that ls the only safe course to pursue. . Don't run away with the idea that one must drink to have a, good time, because I have been all over the world, kept all kinds of company, from the time witzn J. was l4 years ct age, and while I have yet to take my first drink of beer, wine or anything strcngr, I have got more real kick out of ‘e than most. o! men. It ls the fact that I have never taken my first d-rlnk which permits me to assocfate with all kinds o! btrzers. without danger to either them or myself. You have heard people claim that drinking in IIIOGGTHYIOH does not. hurt. anyone. but.

For example you. meet chance acquaintances who have been drinking. One aslcs you to take a soclttble drink with them.
