ONTARIO ALLIANCE urged PARLIAMENT
TO REVISE VOTING LIST LAST June
Action Then Would Permitted Vote Under the Revised
Lists in October Planned Says Parliament Should Remedy
Liquor Evils Permit the Voters Act at Once

The date OF the referendum i'll On
tario has been changed by the gov
ernment from October 25, 1920, to
April Is, 1921. The government took
this action in order 10 give time for
revision of the old voting lists.
Some newspapers have given the
impression that the Dominion Tenn
perance Alliance approves this delay.
Rev. Ben II. Spence, secretary of the
Alliance, has issued statement on
behalf of the Alliance vigorously de-
nouncing the delay. He recognizes the
injustice of a vote on lists over a
year old and comedies that fully
100000 Canadian citizens would have
been disfranchised by the use of the
old lists without revision. But
says Mr.. Spence's statement, "the
Alliance protested vigorously but
protested when Parliament was IN
session and when provisions could
and should have been made for re-
vision OF the lists.
Unfortunately instead OF granting
our requests Parliament actually en-
acted special legislation preventing
revision of the lists in the province
of Ontario if vote should be taken
before December 81 of this year. We
opposed this legislation then. The
wrongness of it is clearly seen now,
for it ties the hands of the govern
ment."

CRIME WAVE HITS FRANCE
DESPITE UNLIMITED BOOZE
England and Germany Also Report
Increase of Crime; Refutes Vets
Argument

A special copyright eabls dispatch
to the Sun and New York Herald
carrying a Paris date line Of Angus
II, says:
Never have the French police
been faced by such an organized
crime wave as at present, not only
Paris but the provincial depart
ments reporting their inability to
cope with it unless their force is
increased.
This is interesting in view of thu
fact that the vets OF this country
are insisting that the increase in mur
der cases in certain OF our formerly
wet cities IS due to Prohibition. They
can not deny that there has been j.;
remarkable decrease in arrests fo
drunkenness and misdeneanors, bu
they point to the frequent murders
and say that these are result of sa
loon closing.
Increased crime IS also reported ii
England and Germany. None o
these European countries where ;
crime wave is reported are unde

The fact is, the increased crime i
undoubtedly natural result of thu
war just as our criminologists in thi
country claim

DRYNESS BOOSTS IEWELRY TRADE
Manhattan Jeweler Asserts "Vamp"
is Going; More Jewelry for Those
at Home

Joseph Mazer, III an address to the
delegates OF the National Retail Jew
elers' Association in convention in
Louisville, Ky. on August % made
the following interesting comments
on Prohibition as it relates to the
jcWelry business. He said, Love
needs no liquor TO make it generous
and CHANGING casually at approxi-
mately half a million dollars worth of
diamonds on display, he reflected fur-
ther:
Prohibition has given the Jew
clry trade Il boost. Men in liquor
spend money like water The
world looks rosy. \ pretty girl
is prcttier than ever, smile is
worth a jewel.
The "vamp," according to the Man
haitian jeweler won her place in tho
social scheme because OF inebricty,
and he added:
She and her sort will be far
FEWER unucr inc Dollc dry ldWS'
Prohibition has reduced this class
OF jewclry sales, but it has in-
creased mans generosity with
his wife and children. ! venture
to say that nine out of ten wives
will tell YOU that sober husband
is more generous than one mud
died by liquor. An annual bill of
$500 was very small to drinking
man. With this item eliminated
from his expense account a man
has more money with which to
carry out his generous instincts.
The $500 will buy his wife carat
diamond ring.

CALIFORNIA COURT GETS
KNOTTY LEGAL PROBLEM

a knotty question is involved in an
appeal to the Appellate Court at Sac
ramento. California. A policeman
named Harris, stationed opposite the
state fair grounds. is reported to have
offered a nearby saloonkeeper the
privilege of sale OF liquors for con-
sideration OF twenty dollars. Harris
was indicted by the grand jury. At
the trial the plea was set up that even
ii all the allegations in the indictment
were true, Harris was not guilty as
he was not under any obligation to

Alliance Asked for Remedy

Mr.. Spence quotes the resolution
passed by the Managing Committee
OF the Alliance on June rs and for
warded with covering letter on
June % before the matter had been
finally dealt with by Parliament, IN
which the Alliance urges revision OF
the lists.
In conclusion Mr.. Spence says:
The government was wrong i'll not
needing then. The government is not
righting that wrong nor needing our
wishes by perpetuating for six months
longer the evil VIC seek TO abolish.
Let me say, however, that the
government, having postponed the time
when the people of Ontario may correct
the evils OF the existing liquor traffic,
and having repealed the good meas
ures passed during the war, it should
now use the power inherent in it to
the very limit to remedy these evils,
at least until such time as the people
have an opportunity TO express them
selves upon the other remedial meas
ures proposed.
"The government should either
correct the evil at once or adhere to
the date OF voting originally fixed
when the people can themselves deal
with the matter.
"To refuse to act and to deny the
people of Ontario the right to act, is
unjustifed upon any grounds

JAMAICA IS Wet BUT DRYS
ARE "CARRYlNG ON
Z. H. Curtis, Former Ohio
League Man, Starts Agitation
by Speech in Kingston
VETS GREATLY ALARMED
Local Option Bill Is to Be
Presented to Governor and
Council This Fall

Mr.. l.. II. Curtis, for some years a
district superintendent of the Ohio
Anti-Saloon League, has just returned
to this country after a number Of
months in the island OF Jamaica in
the British West Indies where he
has been busy i'll agitating against
the liquor traffic which is the rccog-
nized curse of the island. In letter
to American Issue Mr.. Curtis gives
these interesting facts:
Upon arriving in the island found
no agitation whatever in behalf of
Prohibition. Rum shops are every
where, on the public roads, and up in
the mountains, as well as i'll the towns
and villages. More than 90 per cent
of the saloons Of the island are oper-
atcd by Cinnamon who pay an annual
license OF from $50 to 500.
soon after arriving here talked
with members OF the legislative coun-
Gil, the encouragement, and other
government officials, but found little
or no temperance sentiment. \ little
later a meeting OF some Is ministers
was called in the city Of Kingston
where I met some aroused enemies
of the Prohibition causc, some friends,
and some who felt the time had come
to tell the people OF the island what
Prohibition had done TO, America,
and how it was secured Arrange
ments were made for me to speal; in
two of the city churches, and also to
address a public meeting in one of the
halls.
"rhc meeting in the hall was Of
unusual interest. The place was
crowded, questions were asked, and
synopsis of the address was published
in the wet newspaper OF the place.
This brought forth much severe crit
icism and one article even went so
far as to call on the government to
deport the foreign impostor.
"But following these meetings came
invitations from all parts Of the IS
land and | have addressed more than
thirty such gatherings. These meet
ings were held in churches, school
houses, halls, and on the streets. and
were attended by hundreds OF black
men and Indians, and the best OF or
der prevailed everywhere
81 soon found that Prohibition had
many friends OIL the island, and lit
tie agitation brought these people to
the surface. They began to write ar
ticles for the papers i'll behalf OF the
overthrow OF the rum traffic and al
though the newspapers arc wet, they
opened their columns for these arti-
Giles.
"Finally the matter eliminated by
the vets pctitioning the governor and
the legislative council begging them
to pay no attention to the dry agita
ton and to make no change whatever
in the liquor laws of the island.
There is a strong feeling now that
something must be done, and it looks
as if the beginning may be in tie way
of government control.
"a bill has been drafted and will
be presented TO the governor and the
legislative council this fall in behalf
of local option. While it is not likely
this bill will pass, it will have some
strong support and is looked upon as
being the beginning of the overthrow
Of John Barleycorn in Jamaica"
