wet interests at home would not look with favor
upon great Province like Canada going dry. Every
influence has always been against it,
z. There is a constant secret attack made by the
wine growers OF France and the international Or
ganization of liquor dealers. In previous battles in
Canada they have claimed to have had more to do
with putting the dry Provinces back into the wet
columns than any other agency They frankly state
that they use liquor workers. money and propa
ganda in their nefarious business and that their OBJ
Ject is to break the progress of prohibition in the
dry countries to restore their former markets and
gain new ones.
Nova Scotia is the last redoubt for them to cap
ture in Canada. All the while they have been work
ing and are now working with the utmost diligence
in the United States. At present Illinois seems to
be the special object Of their attention for the next
political campaign.
In the case of Nova Scotia they followed the
familiar tactics.
l. BY forming q sham temperance society which
they called THE Temperance Reform Association"
Under this guise they did ali they could to confuse
temperance people and undermine the efforts of the
legitimate temperance organizations.
2. They managed to have an utterly confusing
ballot. It provided that each elector should vote
yes on two prOpOStiOnS-A. Yes or No on the
continuance of the Nova Scotia Temperance act. B.
Yes or No on the establishment of government con-
troll, which of course would supplant the Nova
Scotia Temperance act AS result of this peculiar
arrangement the two contradictory propositions
carried. There were Eyes" than mo" votes
for the maintenance Of the Temperance act and
more Eyes" than mo- for the replacing it with the
government control Unfortunately there were
eyes" votes for government control than there
were for the Nova Scotia Temperance act. So gov
eminent control was adjudged to have won the day
Government control Of liquor, Of course, means gov
eminent sale of alcoholic liquor opposed to the
private sale.
Rev. John Coburn, of Canada, made special
study of the Nova Scotia situation and points out
number Of reasons why the Province went wet in
addition to those already cited:
l. Along their long and winding coast they were
greatly annoyed by rum-runners and the Dominion
government failed lamentably to enforce its custom
laws.
@ The Nova Scotia government failed to enforce
their own laws. Their officials were inefficient and
corrupt and they are endeayoring to do in the
United States every effort was made to create the
impression that the law could not be enforced.
3. Much was made of the claim that they needed
the revenue from liquor to provide pensions for the
old people in the Province.
4. A great effort was made to confuse the young
voters who did not remember the evils of the old
saloon and consequently did not appreciate the
benefits Of prohibition.
5. All the bars protecting the honesty Of the bal
lot were thrown down. Men were allowed to vote

The Manchus regarded the peoples of
both tributaries as uncivilized and the
Chinese people still refer to them as
Chang Maj (barbarians Of Tibet) or
"Yee Jen" (southern Tartars). The
government wants to stop this.
The National order is based on the
doctrine of equality for the five tribes
of China preached by the late DR.. Sun
Yat-Sen. It's immediate cause was the
use of the popular terms in some official
documents from the commission on
Mongolian and Tibetan affairs. The
order said:
1.-The use of such words is contrary
to the teachings of our late leader, who
says that the five tribes of China viz,
the Chinese, the Mongols, the Man
churians. the Tibetans and the Chi
nese Mohammedans are all brothers"

DESPITE GRAY SKIES
Streets of Georgetown Are
Lined With Autos of
Flower Pilgrims.

Despite the fact that dark clouds
threatened downpour, the pilgrimage
to the Georgetown gardens yesterday
afternoon was an unprecedented sue
cess.
Starting just beyond the Dumbarton
Bridge. on @ street. the streets of
Georgetown were crowded with parked
cars of garden pilgrims. Not vestige
of idle curiosity could be detected
among those who gazed with delight
upon the lockwood hedge at Evermay.
or who picked their way carefully
through the smaller gardens. whose
narrow walks were bordered with
flowers.
Approximately $500 persons made
the pilgrimage. many carrying away
valuable ideas for personal application.
1t was apparent that many profession
ais were among the flower enthusiasts.
A large number of cars bearing official
and congressional tags were seen parked
outside of homes whose gardens were
opened to the public. Also many faces
prominent in Washington society cir
Giles were recognized. The ma iority of
persons were apparently making an
effort to visit each of the two dozen
or more gardens listed on the programs,
as they could be seen marking off names
of those visited.
The exhibition of garden and home
stead portraits painted by Mrs Mabel
Hunt johnson was shown at the home
Of Mrs. H. B. Meyer. One could doubly
appreciate the paintings after having
seen the real blossoms.
Although special number of police
was detailed to take care of traffic con-
gestion there was little confusion.
The funds realized from the pill

salary of a welfare worker who, under

Welfare Council, will look after the

Along with glass containers in the

ture nor the air had been renewed for genera.
tons pinched old woman came in and
shifted and clattered away. After some time
the man appeared again and announced that
the master was IN his studio. He led Reggie
to building on the grounds.
Artus was working at q picture in the same

geometrical pattern, but Of different colors q
clear blue and faint red and gold. 1t was a

CHEEKY. Not like the other"
"Cheery?" Artls said iercely. He began to
work on it again.
And Reggie watched. The man had no hesi-

the middle OF the picture the pattern spread
and lost Its stiffness, and the colors mingled to
become like the light in the sky at dawn-and
in the light made of the light was a face The
picture was becoming the counterpart of that in
the Salon. This face, too, was visionary, but

"And what do you call this one?" said Reg
gle.
Il shall call it Faiths VISION" Artus
laughed.
After moment "oh, yes. Yes, I see,"
Reggie murmured, and watched the horrible
face sharpen under his hand
The door opened. Into the studio came the
bearded man. "Artus!" he gasped, and Artus
looked from him to Reggie, pale and furious.
But Reggie's face betrayed only curiosity.
What do you want here, vagabond?" Artals
cried
what have you done?" the little man
painted and then he saw the picture on the
easel strange quivering cry broke from him.
he dashed himself upon Artus, clutchng and
striking. Artus grappled with him and flung
