ONTARIO'S DRINK PLEBISCITE

Various opinions are quoted from press
and people on the results of Ontario's
vote. Premier Ferguson is quoted as
saying:
The basis upon which government rests
under our institutions is that the majority
must prevail The popular will will
be recognized and accepted, and the act
will remain upon the statute book.
The Farmers Advocate, Qondon, On
trio) says:
The big city vote for government con-
troll encouraged ardent supporters of the
Moderation League to suggest that local
option should be granted to those urban
centers which pronounced against the o.
T. A. The prime minister, after consul
tation with his Cabinet, warded off any
such petition and pledged the government
to the support and enforcement of the On
tario Temperance. Act.
The Toronto Globe points out that the
Prcmier's pledge (to act according to
the vote) was not conditional upon the
cities and towns giving majority for
continuance of the Act 1t says:
The pledge was absolute and uncondi-
tional. 1t is to be borne in mind also
that all of the cities did not vote wet.
There were important exceptions.

On the basis of the health and mortal
ity rates of the Metropolitan Life Insur-
ance Company for the first nine months
of this year, the Science Service writer
prophesies that the death rate for 1924
will be considerably lower than for any
previous year. The record is particularly
favorable among the industrial popula-
tons. tuberculosis will reach new min

liver cirrhosis the writer says:

THE LEGISLATURE.

The session OF the Legislature
of 1924 ended by Constitutional
limitation Monday night last.
An analysis and resume of its
work shows that practically no
constructive legislation was en-
acted. An attempt was made,
but frustrated through the veto
power of the Governor, to in
crease the burdens of the tax
payers by appropriating large
sums of money for several prop
ositions, principally of which,
was large sum for the Universe.
ty of Maryland. The only feature
of the bill that had any real merit
was aid for the University hos
pital: The Governor and admin
istration forces were willing to-
aid in this, but only with the re-
striction that the hospital and
adjuncts of the University in
Baltimore agree to a separation
from the institution at College
Park and be returned to private
ownership, but this plan was re-
jected by the hackers of the
University, the result of which
the whole appropriation fell
with the exception of an amount
to make for the safety and pro
lection of the hospital against
fire.
The component branches of the
University Of Maryland in Balti-
more were at the Legislature of.
1920 CONSOLIDATED with the Agri-
cultural College at College Park
The Governor at that time be-
lieved it was a good proposition
to link all together in one big
University, but he sees now that
a mistake was made and is hon
est enough to admit it.
The action of the Governor and
those who stood behind him in
this matter as well as the other
four or five bills for appropria
tions rejected, must and we be-
iieve does meet with the approx
al of the masses of taxpayers in
this State.
The Legislature of 1924 will
go down in history as one devoid
of CONSTITUTIONAL work, but at the
same time it will go down, due
to the Governor and those mem
bers of the Legislature who
stood by him, as one of the best
from the standpoint of the tax
payers of the State.

RESPONSIBILITY OF
POLITICAL PARTIES.

1.-THE foundation of confidence
and honor upon which our gov
eminent structure rests is party
responsibility" said George H.
Shaw, state chairman, in ad.
dressing Colorado Republicans
at their state convention. we
have the sad spectacle in our
halls of Congress of fox terrier
statesmen, elected on the Repub.
lican ticket, by Republicans, as
Republicans, swapping at the
heels of the administration and
joining in the chorus of yelps
that comes from the opposition,
forgetting the group to which
they are responsible and the
high purposes for which they
have been elected. Their motive
can only be a vain endeavor to
gather such cheap notoriety as
might bring about some selfish
and individual preferment. The
Republican party is greater than
an individual and it is greater
than any section or group of in
dividuals."
In this campaign" continued
Chairman Shaw, more than in
any campaign in years gone by,
the American voter will seek
party responsibility, and the peo-
pie and Republicans generally
must see to it that persons des-
ignated to represent the party or
to function in the government
shall be Republicans, men and
women who believe in the prin-
ciples of the Republican party,
who have a proper respect for
the responsibility which this
party assumes in the affairs of
government, and not counterfeit
goods with a Republican label,
and who will go forth unswerv.
ingly in support of the course
laid down by this party, without
regard 10 their personal motives
or individual desires. Because
of this failure of appreciation of
party responsibility we have the
headlines of today.
THE decision rests with you.
Are we to have a government Of
law or a government of SANDER?
Shall men in public places func-
ton as representatives of the
people in the interests of order
and stability, or shall we have a
government of calumny and in
nuendo I?
When, in our political life. it
appears, as it is now appearing,
that no mans good name is safe
from lying tongues, and that I'M
der the color of senatorial immu-
nifty the Chief Executive of this
nation, living or dead, may be
subjected 20 yenomous Islander,
then and now is the opportunity
and the great privilege accorded
to citizens to rise, inspired by
the great inherent American
spirit of fair play, strike down
the slanderers of men in high
places, throw about your repre-
sentatives the shield of party
loyalty and party support that
will be impre5 nable TO the at.
taeks of baseless rumor.

Finds Beef Type Can Be
Good Milk Producer, Too

ut is possible for the beef type Of
shorthorn to be heavy milk pro-
ducer," says DR.. c. w. McCampbell,
head of the animal husbandry DEPART
ment in the Kansas state agricultural
college. This was demonstrated by
the department at the Sni-A-Bar farm
belonging to the w. II. Nelson estate,
near Kansas City.
'0The show at the Snl-A-Bar farm
was the first strictly shOrthorn show
in the United States. The best herds
throughout the country were shown.
One of the most interesting features
was an exhibit of the heavymilking,
thick-feshed shOrthorns forming an
experiment now being conducted by
the animal husbandry department"
The chief purpose of this expert
ment referred to by Doctor McCamp-
bell is to show that it is possible for
the beef-type shorthOrn to be heavy
milk producer. The cows in this ex-
pertinent are giving from 1000 to
1900 gallons of milk a year and their
j calves are winning prizes at the inter-
national live stock shows each year.
