even though their names not found ON the
voters list and they not required to vote in the
precinct in which they resided. Consequently in
any place where man happened to be he could
cast his vote giving any name he pleased and the
ballot was accepted even though his name not
on the registry of voters Such an arrangement
gave opportunity for unlimited corruption Though
the attorney general Of the Province stated that this
plan opened the door wide to corruption no atten-
ton was paid to his plea. Before the election men
boosted of how many times they expected to vote
and naturally it would be the corrupt vets and not
the honest drys that would take advantage of such
q situation. With the ballots SO utterly unprotected
as in this case the vets might just easily have
won by 100000 majority as by $4,000.
We extend our sympathy to the prohibition forces
of Canada and particularly of Nova Scotia They
have long, hard road to travel before they can
once more establish prohibition of the liquor traffic
and ultimately destroy it. But there is no other
remedy for this condition and it wall have to be-
done whether it takes ten years or a hundred to do
it. We in America must regard Canada not
example TO follow but as q warning OF what 10 avoid

QUESTIONS ANSWERED

Mr.. Clifford Gordon, well known to many Of our
readers recently wrote the editor of the Globe of
Toronto, Canada, asking some questions as to the
operation Of so-called government control in the
Province Of Ontario. These questions and the an
swers direct from the editor of a daily newspaper
will be found interesting to any student of the Iio-
question:
l. Is it your opinion that Government Control
makes for real temperance?
Reply. No.
2. Does Government Control decrease or increase
the consumption of liquor?
Reply. Liquor consumption has doubled III On
tario in tao gears.
8. Does Government Control decrease or increase
number of drunken drivers of automobiles?
Reply. Drunken drUerS haze multiplied by ten
1U11ile cars doubled.
4. Have deaths from accidents due to drunken
drivers increased under Government Control?
Reply. YeS-en0TnOuSly.
5. Have industrial accidents decreased under
Government Control?
Reply NO. Increasing per cent faster than
payroHS.
6. Has Government Control eliminated the boot
logger?
Reply Large bootzegger eliminated but small
bootlegger multiplied.
7. Has Government Control proved any benefit to
the young people?
Reply No. (Signed) GILMORE PHuPoTT,

he handed gun to his confederate. believed tn he
for the purpose of killing the officer
IN 10 cases OF the above killings, the grand juries
Ntter hearing the evidence refused to indct the Of
ticerS In So instances the officers were indicted
but acquitted on trial.
On the other hand, SIS of our Federal prohibition
officers and several hundred state officers were killed
or fatally injured while actually engaged in LIQUOR
raldS. IneSe officers were all innocent citizens and
o1ed IN the line OF duty just as much as did any
American soldier who died upon the field of France
The outlaWed liquor traffic is at war with our gov
eminent and should so be regarded by every loyal
citizen.
1t is not the treatment the bootleggers are getting
but the persecution Of the Federal officers that is
wicked in the extreme"
When Mr.. Joy says that the Federal government
In It's pursuit OF these criminals is setting an eX-
ample for hold-up men, murderers and housebreak-
erS, we wish to reply with what vgor we may that it
is not the example of officers following the regular
methods employed in the performance of their tasks
that encourages hold-up men and thieves to violate
the law but the example of leading citizens who
openly defy the law and abuse those who are en-
forcing 1t that gives aid and comfort to criminals
OF all descriptions and has to do in promoting
the So-caled crime wave than anything now taking
place in American life
There is no Hypocrisy practiced by politicians in
drinking wet and voting dry vice versa that COM
pa-es with the hypocrisy of the so-called good citi
zen who insists on patronizing the bootlegger and
serve outlaWed liquor upon his table In so doing he
promotes smuggling, perjury, theft and murder and
furnishes the bootlegger with the market without
which his criminal business could not exist It is
not Volsteadism that precipitates the evils upon
the American but the persistent refusal of Ger
tain number of cur citizens to conform to Volstead
ism that causes the evils referred to.
The troubles referred to by Mr. Joy and those who
sgree with him are due to "boozeism" not VolStead-
ism and they will be remedied by destroying "booze-
ism" not by destroying Volsteadism.

Mrs Mathes, the daughter of Baptist
minister, received her M. A. in religious
education and sociology at the University
of Chicago, and the degree of B. D. from
the Divinity School Of the University of
Chicago. She also completed all the
work and received the credits, lacking
only the submission of her thesis, for the
degree of Phi. D. in the field Of religious
education, at the same institution. She
gave such evidence before the examining
council of the Chicago Association of her
religious experiences, convictions, scnol-
arship, call and the scope of her work
that the council recommended her for
ordination.
The ordination of Mrs. Mathes is sig
nificant to Baptists not only because this
is the first time in the history of the Chi
cago Association that a woman has been
recommended for ordination, but because
of the novelty of what she purposes to do
as an ordained minister. She never ex-
poets to become the pastor of church,
to assume the official functions common
ly expected Of a minister such as marry
ing, burying the dead. baptizing and

w. C. T. u. SURVEY
Shows Americas Determination to
Rid the Country of Illegal
Liquor Traffic

The increasing severity of state enact
ments against the bootlegger was set forth
in survey made by the National Wom-
ans Christian Temperance Union as the
best test of Americas determination to
rid itself of liquor"
The dry statement was based on the
annual survey of Mrs Yost, Director of
Legislation for the w c. T. U. DRY ma
jorities are expanding and wet majorities
are shrinking" said Mrs. Yost. I'm 1929
every state Legislature except Wisconsin
that took action on prohibition strength
ened its laws"
In it's survey the w. c. T. U. officials
further says year after year the law
makers elected by popular ballot have i'm
posed greater and greater penalties on
the bootlegger. This is evidence that the
lawmakers are going to the people for adj
vice rather than to the metropolitan wet
press, because instead of Stacking enforce
ment, nearly all the states have increased
the seventies of their original anti-iquor
laws"

The Wets Capture Nova Scotia

Undoubtedly every friend Of prohibition heard
with sorrow the news that the vets had practically
completed their warfare in Canada by capturing the
Province of Nova Scotia This Province has been
under prohibitory law since 1913 Previous to that
time it included all of the Province except the city
Of Halifax. AS in all other Provinces the law has
been great benefit. All the social evils connected
with drinking have been reduced. Consumption of
liquor has decreased and the results amply justified
the enactment and maintenance of the law but as
in all other Canadian Provinces there were many
factors working for the overthrow of prohibition.
1. There was the example and influence of the
home government. Great Britain is wet officially
