L,IUU1V I IOIIOR TRAFFIP HUUTU, IS (JIVFN A 1(11 T Rev. J. R. Mclntyre, Prohibition Organizer, Attacks Beer Parlor System VICTORIA, Sept. 28: Declaring the system of government control of liquor to be a partnership between the government and distillers and brewers, and beer parlors to be filthy and unmoral, that they far surpassed the oldtlme bars, Rev. J. II. Mclntyre, organizer of the Prohibition Association of British Columbia, vigorously attacked the "liquor business" of the government In an address before the W.C.T.U. at the Emmanuel Baptist Church. Increase of crime, Insanity and drunkeness and the huge liquor bill of Canada were arguments which Rev. Mr. Mclntyre used for total prohibition of Intoxicating liquors. He referred to United States prohibition, Incidentally, pointing out that no group stood so unitedly behind the dry candidate In the last presidential election as the wo men, especially the W.C.T.U. Hopeless Case "I think the case is practically a hopeless one for the wets In the United States," he added. In Canada, and British Columbia in particular, it was proposed to educate and legislate with the purpose of stamping out alcoholism. The taste for liquor and the traffic ltwlf.must be stamped out, he said. People should be taught how alcohol was made, how it affected hu-ttaflrganisais, and that itjvas no longer regarded as a food or as tt stimulant but as a drug. Rev. Mr. Mclntyre quoted words of Premier Ramsay Macdonald of Greet Britain in support of his con- Uenlion that drinking could be stop-fpedf through legislation. The pre ttier had said, "You can make men ind women sober by act of parliament. " The speaker referred to the history of the question In British Co lumbia. Prohibition had come Into force in 1917, he said, but this was mly prohibition of the sale. True, luring the war years, the importation also had been prohibited and Irunkeness, crime and insanity had decreased greatly. In 1920 came government control. But why, asked the speaker, does 'he government go Into the liquor business? Why not into the milk mslness? Although the Dominion govern-nent had passed legislation igalnst importation of liquors, it was still going on, he maintained. The whole system, he claimed, was me cf government sale, not of government control. The government wtnt Into partnership with distil-era and brewers. It was a Very ttose relationship and the government put on the apron and went eh ind the bar to dispense liquor. Drunken Women "And the beer parlors," he con-Inued. "have become so dirty, so filthy and so immoral, that they "ar surpass the old bars. Women tit with men, and it Is a terrible right to see young women of twenty-two or twenty-three years t age stumbling drunk out of the ioors." The result of this partnership of the government was to make the oeople forget the Initial temperance ;ide of the government control neasurc. Rev. Mr. Mclntyre as serted. Rev. Mr. Henry quoted the opinions of several medical men, including Dr. Osier and Dr. Mayo, regarding the drink question. He lulllned its destructive qualities' upon wie Doay ana Dram. v TORONTO STOCKS (McOatfery. Oibbona & Collart, Ltd.) Falconbridge. 10.00, 10.10. Abana. 1.60. 1.64. Amulet, 3.25. 357.
