Wants Prohibition

NuCDSC wants FTOntplIlOn
The province Of Quebec is in cam
paign for prohibition. 1t is the only
province in the dominion in which
such legislation has not been enacted
and the sentiment is growing rapidly
against the traffic. On October 4, the
temperance forces led by the Anti
Saloon League waited upon the pre-
mier and the members Of his cabinet
to ask for early action on the question.
There were present about 800 per-
sons, among them Judges, lawyers,
bishops, labor leaders. The premier
expressed his appreciation Of the in
formation given and said: Rest as
sured you have not appealed to deaf
ears. We shall give to your requests
all the consideration which they de-
serve"

to drive them out Already new signs
are going up in Baltimore showing
where these ex-Virginians propose to
do business. Other concerns which
have not yet moved to Baltimore are
advertising in the Virginia newspapers
that after November they will be at
such and such an address in Balti-
more, where we will be pleased to
meet all our old friends and custom
ers, etc.
