Ann Other Stafes and Canada.
Nova Scotia Goes Wet.

The people of Nova Scotia have ap-
parently voted to follow the lead Of
seven of Canada's ten provinces, and,
after an experiment with prohibition
have voted for that extent Of ''wetness"
that lies in the governmental control
of the manufacture and sale of liquor
Nova Scotia thus leaves Prince Edward
Island as the one remaining arid spot
in the Dominion. Seven Canadian
provinces have done what Nova ScO-
tia has done, They tried prohibition
and, for one reason or another, gave
1t up In favor of one or more plans for
government sale of liquor. Quebec
never went dry. Quebec abolished the
saloon and took over the liquor BUSH
ness, but at one time Quebec was the
one wet spot in Canada.
OF course, this victory for the vets
will be interpreted as removing one of
the two remaining arguments In favor
of Canadian prohibition. But the drys
will be quick to point out the fact that
the issue in Nova Scotia was not de-
cided upon the morality of prohibition,
but that economics played q heavy part
in the minds of the voters. Nova Seo-
tia's treasury balance has been written
in red ink. Government sale of liquor
is large revenue producer. Aside
from the question Of the rightfulness
or the wrongfulness of permitting the
sale of liquor, there entered the hope,
in this case, of wiping out deficits and
producing comfortable SURPRISES by
putting the government In the liquor
business. The drys may emphasize this
point. But it Is not particularly
weighty,
From the standpoint of dry" Amer
lea, the interesting factor In Canadians
prohibition experiments is that they
have been little more than experiments.
The prohibition laws for the provinces
were never immutable. They were
written in every case by voters who
could change their minds. Now the
prohibitionists Of Canada are working
toward that end so completely attained
In the United States. They want a
Dominion law that will not be changed.
They would write, for Canada, an
eighteenth amendment that will stand
against the changing tides Of public
opinion. In Canada now there is APP
parehtly small prospect of such q Law,
The reaetian there against prohibition.
as indicated by the almost unanimous
change Of front fran dry to wet by the
provinces, is against prohibition. There
may still come another reaction. and
when 1t does the prehibitionistS will
take no chances. Their efforts will be
centered in Ottawa, and not In the
provincial capitals.

Fifty Years Ago
In The Star

With reference to the street car
transfer nuisance, to which attention
was called in extracts
Tram Company from The star print
Is Defended, ed IN this THIS column esa fa,A
lowing letter, printed in the issue OF
October %, 1879. is Of interest:
MANY complaints have appeared In
your valuable journal in relation to the
action of the w. a. q. r. r. 90, in
stationing transfer agents at the june
tions of their roads. These complaints
are perhaps we'll founded when they
charge simply that much inconvenience
Is caused by the new arrangement; but
when the facts are laid before the pub
lie no right-thinking man or woman
will condemn the action which the
company has been forced into. Let
me give statement of what the trans
fer system Is intended to be, also .
few of the abuses which have for
long time been notorious. The trans
fer system Is intended to secure to the
payer of Q fare q ride over the entire
length of line of the railway at the
time when the fare is paid. The
words of the charter are one eontinu-
Gus ride and the transfer tickets set
forth that said ticket is good for 'one
continuous ride from the Junction etc.
uASs \ beAhG AtY lhC0AAS aAlAARAy tAiNt
party to whom said ticket Is issued
may take the next intersecting car
at the junction and proceed to the end
of the line or to any point between
the junction and said end. The pas
senger taking such transfer enters into
an implied contract to use it In ae-
Cofdance with the printed terms of the
ticket and in no other way. But, far
from doing this, hundreds of people
Aailv faEAPa tina eff Ia
serve them for use during the period
for which issued, If occasion arise.
Hundreds have daily taken them to
give away
AT one time there existed a trans
fer exchange in the offlee Of q gentle-
man near Fifteenth street and New
York avenue. Parties coming either
way and not needing their transfers
would leave them there to be given to
others needing them; and ] am re-
liably informed that parties going to
Center Market will exchange transfers
and return to their homes upon the
ticket so secured, thus getting two
rides for one fare.
"All these methods of using these
transfers are simply thefts from the
r. r. Company, and although the
amount stolen in each case Is only
five cents, yet ! can readily believe
bAat tAiC N0Ay SNAAAS 70
quite 500. Under these circumstances
the r.. r. Company were fully justi-
fed In putting some restriction upon
the issue of transfers. do not own
q cent Of this r. n. stock nor have !
q friend among the officers, nor can
/ approve of their usual course of neg
lecting the comfort of their patrons:
but let us give the devil his due. and
in this case If there is any just cause
fer complaint it is Of the public's own
making"

NEW YORK, May 0.N.S).-
Scattered selling of the industrials
and specialties at the beginning OF
trading today forced prices of the
speculative leaders down 2 to
points.
Wall Street calculations on brok.
ers' loans fixed a total increase OF
from $50, 900 900 to $125,000, 900 in
speculative borrowing this week,
not all of which was to be charged
up to stock market activities
Some juggling of the money market
was expected with a high call loan
rate on money loaned over the
weekend.
United aircraft dropped off about
Z points at 144h; Advance Rumely
was rushed down 51a and Columbia
Graphophone lost 4 points at 7715
principally as the result of the
dumping in of heavy selling orders
by the professionals. After such an
extended advance as these stocks
have had over the last two weeks
a reaction was believed to be in
order, and the professionals were
shooting at that mark in an effort
to force prices downward.
Stocks of the radio family, the
amusement companies, the copper
companies and a few of the motor
companies were strong enough 10
move against the tide Radio Keith
Orpheum was the favorite in the
low-priced specialties with ns8
advance to 81. The New York City
Gas and Electric Light stocks. in
Guiding Consolidated Gas, Columbus
Gas and Brooklyn Union Gas sold
up about point on the average on
revival of rumors of a gigantic
merger uniting their properties and
business. Johns Manville also nad
the benefit of new merger rumors
in it's 5-point jump TO 1881.
Most of the weakened selling OF
the industrials was completed in the
first hour and the market gradually
crawled back to higher price levels
Buying of the motor stocks accom-
panied reports of good increases in
April shipments by Nash, WHY'S
Overland, Studebaker and other
manufacturers Nash reported a
record-breaking April, with 16,06e
cars, gain of so per cent over the
same month last year. Railroad
net earnings for March are from &
to 5 per cent above the correspond,
ing month of 1928 and current
freight car loadings are the highest
in history for this time Of year.
Money was held at 10 per cent for
call and Sh to SA for time funds.
Prices continued to stiffen in most
of the active sections of the market
as the morning advanced. Com.
modify markets were steady, with
cotton up to points and grain
fractionaIly lower.
