Liquor Issue Before
Ontario Voters Soon

Prom the st. Louis Daily Globe-Democrat.
The people of Ontario will go to the
polls In a general election october 80,
the first opportunity for an expression
they have had since the institution of
the plan for taking the private profit out
of the liquor traffic and providing
solution designed to improve on the
prohibition law, long in force.
Premier Ferguson, father of the gov
eminent sale plan in this particular prov
ince, is conducting his campaign with
show of much confidence, which, from
indications, Is not misplaced. At any
rate one of the two opposition groups,
the Liberals, believe that antagonism to
government sale of liquors will be a
heavy party liability just now and are
urging that 1t should be kept out OF this
campaign and dealt with subsequently
In a special referendum. Liberal Leader
Sinclair pleads that the liquor question
should be divorced from politics.
However, opportunity for pronouncing
on the issue will not be lacking to the
voters. The Progressive group, of pro-
hibition principle, will have provincial
ticket in the field, and their leader, J.
G. Lethbridge, denounces government
sale and Is running on q bone-dry
platform.
II private profit has been cut out of
the liquor business, barring sporadic
bootlegger gains, handsome public
profit has resulted. which is likely to
continue. Dominion Premier Mac
kenzie King has lately explained that,
without specific legislation by the Fed
eral Parliament, liquor exports to the
United States cannot be prevented. In
part, because of taking over the "pri-
vate profit" the finances of this great
Canadian commonwealth, Ontario being
nearly three times as large as Texas,
have never been in a more satisfactory
condition. Accounts are balanced with
SURPRISES and public debt has been re-
duced. The provincially owned system
of distributing current from Niagara
Falls is supplying electricity at cheap
er than the average rates to an
unusual percentage of the population
and a rapid extension Of the system TO
all the farms Is promised.
For a further and special reason this
campaign commands interest. When
ever license fees for automobiles have
figured in elections on this side OF the
line. 1t has invariably been on plat
forms either specifically pledging In
crease in the fees or calling for high
wav improvements under which in
crease was implied. Premier Ferguson
has so completely reversed the universal
tendency that he is campaigning on
pledge to cut auto license fees one
half. =,
popular with the Ontario people. may
not mark the beginning of a general re-
cession from present peak points, but
It is evident that the piling OF ever
increasing taxation on motor vehicles
cannot continue indefinitely.

rebuilt by American generosity" Long
before he became President, and when
the controversy was boiling up, Mr.
Hoover wrote Or. Labeuze, rector of
Louvain, that, in his (Hoovers) opinion,
the university should be allowed to de-

feeling that the inscrir on ought to

Uncle Sam prefers bourbon to rye. At
least, the Treasury Department indi-
Gates he does, for the Governments
whisky-distilling program provides that
medicinal spirits to be produced in 1890
shall be bourbon. Only 80 per cent,
or 100000 gallons, will be rye. All of
the legalized booze will be made in
Kentucky. The Government supply of
medicinal whisky is rapidly disappear
ing. Present stocks total only $500 600
gallons. These are expected to meet all
legitimate needs until the first batch of
authorized new whisky is available. The
best estimates are that, beginning next
year, 100000 gallons will have to be
distilled annually. The prohibition law
requires the Treasury to assure an ade-
quate medicinal supply. The whisky
will be aged in wood for at least four
years before being put in trade. Evapo-
ration will account for 100000 gallons,
leaving 1000, 900 gallons which is about
the amount now withdrawn annually for
medicinal distribution.
Mobile Giacomo de MARITIME, Italy's
accomplished Ambassador to the United
States, contemplateS an early trip home
on leave OF absence. He had expected to
sail this month, but international de-
velopments. of which Washington is
momentarily the center, determined him
to postpone his departure a few weeks.
Mussolini's envoy. like the rest of the
Washington ambassadorial colony, was
deprived OF his ordinary Summer vaca-
ton by the necessity to stand by while
the Hawley-Smoot tariff was in the
making. Italy is hard hit by some of
the proposed agricultural schedules.

Political Wickedness in Gotham.


Whether in important or unimportant
campaigns, in presidential, State or
raayoralty contests, New York City al

situation. This year, with municipal
ofices at stake in a three-cornered

In the middle of the contest, long after

the Tammany organization that the
petitions for the naming Of one OF the
independent tickets, that OF the So

former Police Commissioner Enrtght as
candidate for mayor, are invalid be-
cause they contain numerous forgeries
and fake names.
The charge of forged petitions is not
altogether novel In itself. But the
sequel to the accusation Is particular

British Recognition of
Russia Held FOreseen

From the Lincoln Nebraska State Journal
Great Britain's decision to resume
diplomatic relations with Russia was
received without much protest Eng
land has been carrying on a backdoor
conversation with Russia almost from
the time relations were severed. The
continued expansion of trade between
the two countries made this neces-
sity. 1t was but a matter of form to
resume diplomatic negotiations. Eng
land was forced to bow to Russia in
this maneuver. but the government did
arrange for a definite debt agreement
to be put into effect in the near future,
The new move may take some strength
from the laborites, but it is generally
recognized that 1t was an inevitable
outgrowth of the Anglo-Russian trade.
