passable but they are now drying up

night.

Ontario's Experience.
Cincinnati Enquirer.)


 Five months ago the Province of Ontario kicked overheard it's prohibition law in favor of Government controlled liquor sales The re suit has been asonishingly satisfactory to the Government of the Province, which has turned within that period, a Provincial deficit, which in 1926 amounted to $S13000, into surplus this year of $2S0,OOO after paying off $S,0oo,ooo debts.
 The official Government statement shows tha' the Governments balance sheet discloses net profits of $33O0,000 liquor sales and liquor purchase permits for the five months of the new laws operation. Half million dollars or that revenue was from the sale of permits These per mits were taken out by United States citizens So American dollars go to swell the prohts or the Government of this single Canadian State.
 The Ontario Government estimates that, dur ing 1928 liquor profits will exceed $S,ooo'ooo most of which will be used to pay on depts The Government statement says the Province was just as wet under prohibition as it is now uhdef the Government liquor sales law, and that the Iauor profits it accumulates formerly went into the pockets of the bootleggers It may be interesting also to state that Ia" and order are observed and respected In the Province as was not the case during US exper- fence with the experiment of prohibition ana that there is less of crime. perpetrated In the entire Province than in the cities of New forK and Chicago.

On Facing the New Year.

The turn of the year is looked forward to in much hope. Often it is small relief to turn over the last page of the old year. As hope springs eternal anticipate better things Yet even so the forward look may not be without it's shadow of fear A year of duties and of responsl- bilities every day bringing it's own adequate share is no little thing. years life with all that if may bring is heavy responsibility The forward look often has rndertone of fear as to how we shall get through especially II our strength seems small
 Years ago the writer read of an old grand fathers clock reputed to have stopped after striking midnight on December 31st The CLOCK dial greatly concerned, looked down into the case and asked the pendulum the cause. griev- cd voice replied: i've just been thinking that in the new year just starting there will be aoo days and in each day "A hours, and in each hour so minutes, and in each minute 50 seconds ana as I have to tick a second, that means 5l,- 536 900 ticks get through all that amount of work, and it's no use trying.
 You foolish old thing, said the dial Don yau know you will always have second to LICK in and you will never have to give two tlcks al once
 T never thought Of that, said the pendulum and forthwith started ticking again. He got through all right he thought of things m that way The sum total of years task IS somewhat fearsome propositions to face, wheth- CT for pendulums or for human beings but if there is always second to tick in and if sufl- cient unto the day will be the strength thereon then we lift up our hearts

It is based not only on theoretical study of the relation ships between adults and children but apparent 1y. on an experience in dealing with the prob lems arising therefrom.

DRY LEADER FOR SMITH.

Democratic National Committeeman of the same State in support of Gov. Al Smith for Presi- dent and announced recently that he would join the latter in urging a united vote for him by Pennsylvania's "A votes in the National Conyen- ton next summer MT Morris affiliated with the faction of the Democratic Party in his State which fought Gov. Smiths candidacy in 1924.
 In making known his determination to sup port the popular New York Chief Executive. MT. Morris said
 Governor Smith is the outstanding
 Democrat of his day He speaks the
 language of democracy in terms that ev-
 eryone understand He is just the
 right age for the Presidency and be-
 yond a doubt is the logical man for the
 nomination.
 His genius for administration places
 him far ahead of any other candidate
 that l know of. He has vision and
 courage, and for the life of me l can't
 see how the convention do other
 than accord him the nomination.
 The change in his attitude is typical of the sentiment for Smith which is growing apace throughout the country. In poll completed last month by the Pathfinder magazine pub lished in Washington, D. C., he far ontdistanced all of his rivals for the Democratic noriina tion He received 25SS4 votes, Senator James A. Reed of Missouri 7,7S1 and former Secretary Meredith 7.747. He carried Alabama Arkansas, Louisiana North and South Carolina, Virginia, Utah, and Nevada Coolidge and was close on his heels in New Mexico, Oregon and Texas. Senator Reed carried Florida and Georgia and Mississippi went to Meredith Coolidge, who led both Hoover and Lowden in the Republican poll slightly ahead in Tennessee because of the split vote for the three Democratic leaders. President Coolidge received 4S,256 first choice votes out of a total of 793O5.

WOULD AVOID "WET" CONVENTION

If Tammany Hall, supporter of Gov. AT Smith for the Democratic Presidential nomina- tion has anything to say about the matter, neither Detroit Chicago will be the scene of the party's forthcoming national convention. Not that it believes either city is situated in hostile territory that would mitigate against their candidates chances for any enmity that the organization bears against either, but because they too wet and too near the Canadian border Tammany frowns both cities for that reason, says the New York World which is authority for the statement that any other city in the country will be satisfactory provided 1t has facilities sufficient to accommodate the convention crowds
 The Detroit organization seeking the Demo cratic convention made a point of calling atten- ton to that ctys nearness to the Canadian border But this proved no attraction to the New Workers who feared it would be dis advantage and not the advantage claimed by the organization which advanced the idea. If Tammany succeeds in blocking the ambitions of Detroit and Chicago, three cities will be left as the strong contenders-Cleveland, Miami and San Francisco The last named has offered $250,000 but Cleveland seems to have the majority senti- ment behind it. Miami, however, is making real fight for the gathering The matter will be settled definitely when the Democratic leaders gather in Washington for their Jackson Day har mony dinner January 12.
