IS MR. HENRY WITH THE PEOPLE IN THEIR FIGHT TO RETAIN RADIALS? One of the objections to the proposal that the County of York purchase the Metropolitan Radials, according to Reeve Lundy, of Newmarket, is that the City will not give an outside transportation concern terminal rights in the city. And yet Hon. G. S. Henry as Minister of Highways grants permits to the T. T. C. to operate busses all over the province of Ontario over highways built by the people of Ontario. It is time municipalities outside Toronto woke up to the fact that their transportation rights are being gobbled up by a big monopoly under the name of the T. T. C. which in turn refuses an opposition concern even terminal rights in the City. - .. -- - . ,A_-‘1- :.. D:n1~m~nr1 Tâ€"Till +n-nin“h+ Hon. G. S. Henry is to speak in Richmond 11111 to-mgnt and we hope he will explain how he was acting in the best interests of this riding in granting a permit to the T. T. C. to operate busses on Yonge Street. Let Mr. Henry say whether he is on the side of the people, who want a Radial Service, or whether he is on the side of the T. T. C. which wants to substitute a bus service at twice the cost. Mr. Henry has an opportunity to answer the oft repeated charge “that Toronto gets what it 11kes at Queens Park.” What has Hon. 'George S. Henry done to help the peop- le of North Yonge Street maintain a cheap, safe and reliable transportation service? Well, one thing he did do, he grant- ed the T. T. C. a permit to operate busses to compete with the radials. It was aptly said by a Reverend gentleman, at the fun- eral service of one of the victims of a fatal accident on Yonge Street, “How much longer must our Highways be stained by the blood of innocents?” The policy of Hon. G.S. Henry as Minister of Highways has proven inadequate, by H _.n (VJ..._,‘L jAGE TWO it? E2131J£eÂ¥6§31~6Â¥idé sidéwalk's for Ybnge Street. A member of parliament who drifts so far from the people of his own riding as to not appreciate their problems should not ask for a continuance of their support. North Yonge Street residents are vitally concerned in two major problems, the continuance of the Radial Service and the con- struction of sidewalks on Yonge Street. Let Hon. G. S. Henry tell from the public platform in Richmond Hill to- night, what he has done to help the people in their fight to retain the radials or in their continued demand for side- walks on Yonge Street. The operation of busses on Yonge Street threatens the continuance of the radials. The operation of busses on Yonge Street is a menace to Public Safety. The operation of busses on Yonge Street is unpopular with the people of the district. The operation of busses on Yonge Street is condemned by the Redfern Radial report prepared for the Transportation Committee of the York County Council. Hon. G. S. Henry, Minister of Highways and candidate for riding of East York is the man who granted a permit for the T. T. C. to operate busses on Yonge Street. Mr. Ferguson's exaggerated estimate of sales under the O. T. A. was about $25,000,000. Last year liquor sold legally in Ontario 0051: over $50,000,000.

As members of the great brother- hood of man we are held responsible' for the welfare of each other, and we, should realize the great value of the individual soul and also realize that we are responsible for the safety of| our weak brother. Our weak broth-l er in whom we are particularly inte- rested, at the present time is he whol is not strong enough to withstand the thirst for strong drink. ‘ Interesting ' King C There are some people who speak of those opposed to the sale of liquor as persons who infringe on personal liberty. This petty, self-asserting idea. of “personal liberty” is just a device to catch the unthinking and the ignorant. Personal liberty, it is true 1 n.2,an _.....,.:..'ln lgllULauu. L \(anlnmn. “ya- .4 , _s is a very real and definite principle] which flourishes among savages in different parts of the world. Presenti day, so called law abiding communit-. ies, look upon society as a unit m; which each of us is bound up in the! welfare of the whole and believes each to be his brother’s keeper. It is the duty of every citizen to assist in‘ enforcing the law, but, if the law is! obnoxious, it is also our‘duty to strive l to repeal it, when the opportunity a- rises. Let us put this strong drink] question on a debit and credit basis. On the credit side let us write down! the place alcohol occupies as areliable‘ remedial agent plus the indulgence of: an appetite for a manufactured drinku On the debit side it would require a great volume of paper to write the tens of thousands of deaths, accidents diseases and disabilities, the extreme poverty, economic inefficiency and dishonesty, the prisons and courts fill- Ied with King alcohol’s criminals, the disruption and miseries of family life, "of wretched wives and unhappy moth- ;ers, and not least the well~known de- xbauchery of our politics, the very life i‘of our nationâ€"all bred under the rule of alcohol. v We cannot think otherwise but that ‘ the brewer and distiller are the conâ€" ] scienceless enemies of our country,‘ what can we say for ourselves, we, who fold our arms and allow such conâ€" ditions to exist, or we, when the op- ,portunity does come for us to strike a ,blow wilfully strike the wrong way. i,It is true our Government has issued ia book for use in school telling some {of the evil effects of alcohol. But how «inconsistent is this, when the Governâ€" Iment is the salesman, and when the {children going to and from school, ipass these vile Government Liquor »stores authorized by the Minister of ll-jducation. ’ We cannot get away from the fact lthat there is a personal responsibility ‘for the development of character, of industry and of self-control. These do not come from the Government, but from the people themselves. It lnis in accordance with this principle that the Government should enact laws. We cannot shut out of view the fact, that the public health, the public morals and the, public safety may be endangered by the general use of intoxicating liquor. Some people boast of the fact that they can use liquor in moderation. This moderâ€" ate use of liquor diverts the life from other resources of an upbuilding and constructive character. Drink no matter to what degree it is indulged -in, blunts the finer sensibilities, low- ers the moral tone and causes a grow- th of indifference to spiritual and et- ernal interests. Every wholesome Premier Ferguson’s statement that the Liquor Uontrm Act was no longer in politics, will not be taken seriously. It is undeniable that it is the source of the much-vaunted sur- plus, and “the splendid prosperity” now being enjoyed by the Province, but there is a darker side to the picture. Hu- man nature is strangely constituted. People will talk and pray for prohibition, but when behind the screen of a poll- ing booth, they will forget their shouting and their praying and mark their ballots for their party. Mr. Ferguson’s “advanced temperance legislation” has not yet produced the results and it is not likely it ever will. His appeal for re-election is made on his government’s hydro, roads, and northern development policies. Mr. Sin- clair is challenging the whole three and in addition promises a liquor plebescite, relief to municipalities from payment of any part of the Old Age Pensions, the Province to assume the whole of that burden; reduced taxation for farmers; better Provincial highways and reduced motor car licenses. The fixing of Provincial elections at some date between June 1st and October 15th, for the convenience of rural voters. and worthwhile industry or activity is proud to advertise and uphold its pro- ducts. A college points to its grad- uates and their position in the affairs of life. The reputation of an engi- neer is measured by the quality of bridges he has built or the tunnels he has driven. A manufacturer points with pride to his finished products, telling you they are as good or better than any other on the market. Premier King’s announcement that Sir Henry Thorn- ton would remain for some years as the head of the C. N. R. will be haled with delight throughout the Dominion. Sir Henry brought the Canadian National lines from a state of chaos to their present efficiency, of second to none, and it would be a calamity if anything should interfere which would disturb the huge machine now worklng o satlsfactorâ€" ily. Some Social Aspects Of The Liquor Traffic Eharge~canvbe made? It is a Govern- ment industry! Think of it. And THE LIBERAL, RICHMQND HILL, ONTARIO g Daper Prepared and Read By a Member of the City United Church Young Peaple’s Society. what is it that makes the Government "l‘he peopleâ€"you and I. We are re- lsponsible for the Governmentâ€"the ’liquor traffic. We are responsible for all the misery of which we have been speaking. What then should be |the only sensible action on our part lagainst the liquor traffic? In view of its record, there should be nothing short of stamping it out entirely. A1- |cohol has its use and as Henry Ford lsays, “Its proper place is in the engine not in the engineer.” 1 q‘ “uu u. n. v "Vs, A Government’s duty is to build up a nation. How can it. when it (the Government) sells alcohol which de- stroys a man’s body, a man’s happi- ness, a man’s purity, a man’s common sense and destroys a man’s soul. Overlooking for the moment, the sorrow and the crime that follows the consumption of so many millions of jdollars of liquor annually on the pro- ,vince, Ontario’s Superior Temperance :Measure is yearly robbing other lines rof business of a lot of money is it not? lIf we had these many millions to spend on the social, moral and spiritu- ial welfare of Ontario what_a differ- I If all the people who are engaged in the liquor traffic, both producers land consumers, and all those who are handicapped for useful service throu- lgh their friends, who are in some way lengaged in the traffic, were putting ’their energ into the social, moral and lspiritual we are of our country, what 'a wonderful country we would havel If it could be said of Canada as was said of a once prominent empire:â€" “Then none were for a party, but all, were for the State,” we would be showing true patriotism. Let us be true to our country, true to our conscience, and true to our God i and let us, who are heads of families, ; members of churches, members of the ' W.C.T.U. or any organization whose -/ object is to uplift mankind, answer _ honestly this question, “Wherein do I contribute to the Liquor Traffic?" cu u vu.u- v v- ent province this would be!
