TOURISTS TO ONTARIO

Twice as many tourists have Oh
tanned liquor permits in Ontario SO
far this year than during the whole
OF 1927. Ontario il seems, is becom-
ing tourists paradise. especially
for American tourists. And be it
said, the ontario government is en-
trcmcly fond of American tourists;
getting over tbs. border is no trick
AT all, the officers of the law yielding
a warm welcome.
The statistics regarding liquor per-
nits are particularly significant in
view Of the fact that they are only
necessary TO purchase "hard liquor"
in contradiction to the purchase Of
beer and light wines. for which no
permits are necessary.
| Yet there is no evidence OF eN-
ctptional drunkenness in Ontario.
! On the whole. a drunken automobile
driver is more severely punished
than in the United States; indeed.
| iail sentences are so certain that this
+ species of Law infraction is pretty
Thoroughly discouraged. All other
kinds of law infractions likewise re-
ctiye harsher rcatment OH the aver
age, than in this country. This is
one way Ontario has of controlling
the liquor traffic; let a man get
drunk and commit some violation
and he finds the law is like a buzz.
saw.
In other words. Ontario not onl!
has a model liquor law. but i
possesses courts which do not favo
and excuse Offenders.

was not the faintest trace OF party
politics in his talk. The republican
campaign and the republican can
didate alike were taboo in his re-
marks and thus this presidential
speech, unlike SO many of other
presidents. may be classed as not
able more for its omissions than for
its utterances.
While the president may have
been a bit off in some OF his facts
concerning the gallant charge OF the
26ond Minnesota volunteer infantry
at Gettysburg as we'll as his views
OH the inevitability OF the sectional
strife. the fact F~-!lains that the re-
coyery of the s0Ahland and the al
most total eradication OF sectional
telling, as expounded by the speak
er. meets with general approval.
1t may be regarded us especially
significant. on the eve of d great
presidential campaign, that the chief
executive OF this great nation declar-
ID that any pigmy minded individual
OF whatever political faith who tries
to resort to the stirring up of racial
or sectional emotions TO further the
ends of his candidate will quickly
lose the faith and interest of the
public he seeks to sway.
Harking back bit to one of Mr.
Coolidge's other recent addresses
one canno, but think it also signifi-
cant that he declared, in effect, that
political parties do not make pros,
! perity. No more truthful and honest
! statement VAS ever made by any
president. Political parties do moi
f make or break prosperity. That
. fallacy has gone into the discard
