TO THE REFERENDUM COMMITTEE To establish that the 2.51 per ~â€" :t. beer to be voted on is not intoxicating, the Ontario Brewers‘ Associ. .on have deposited $5,000 with the Canada Permanent Trust Comminy, & :d they hereby chaillenge the Ontario Referâ€" endum Committee to G:posit in equal amount with the same Trust Comâ€" pany to prove that beer con‘n~ining 2.51 per cent. alcohol by weight is intoxicating, or admit that the.r literature is deceiving the electorate. Upon the investigation, the i :ers are to forfeit their deposit to a charity or charities to be named by th: Investigating Board. The investigation is to take glace before a nomine> of the Ontario Referendum Committee, a nominee of the Ontario Brew ‘rs‘ Association, and the third nominee to be agreed on by the two pers ns so chosenâ€"and if they fail to agree, to be named by the Lieutenantâ€"( overnor of Ontario. This Challenge to be answere ! immediately by the Ontario Referendum Committee. Examine carefully the two ballots reproduced below The Ontario Brewers‘ Association can no longer disregard the attempts of the Ontario Referendum Committee to mislead the people of this Province in the forthcoming Referendum. In its campaign literature the Referendum Committ>s has corâ€" rupted the statutory ballot as set out below, and its advertising positively asserts that the light beer to be voted o~ is intoxicating. The Referendum Committee is either misinformed or is deliberâ€" ately misguiding the people for a purpose. The purpose is to make the voters believe that they are voting for or against intoxicating beer. BEER CONTAININC 2.51 PER CENT.

"Any better than to marry at all." | _ The king cyod her, She was not, | then, even sttempting to hide her claws. But he was an old bird, and not to be caucht in an argumentative © cage. The king, of course, was nelther asking nor cxpecting sympathy from her, but mently, and somewhat grimâ€" ly, he compared her unmoved face with that of his «|1 friend and chancelfor, onlÂ¥ a few n‘clts before. "‘There are several possibilities for Hedwig," he =aid. "I have gone into the matter preiiy thoroughly. As you know, I have lind this on my mind for some time. !t is necessary to arrange things before 1â€"go." "It would be better," said Anâ€" nunciata, "to marry her while she is young, before she knows any better." Annunciata rat, with a jingling of chains. She chose a straight chair, and faced hiin, very erect. ‘How old is iledwig?" demanded the king. "Nineteen." "Hedwig is old enough to marry. Hfer grandmother was not nineteen when I marticl her." "Well, frthcor," she sald, looking down at him,. "1ow do you feel?" "Sit down." he said. The question as to his hesxith was too perfunctory to require rcoly. He had 1o==d a trying day. Once having brokon down the chancellor‘s barrier of slecce, the king bad inâ€" : siited on fuil knowledge, with the reâ€" | su‘t that he .:d sat, aghast, amid the ru.os of his Cormer complacency.

But there was more than fundamenâ€" tal similarity at fault, Against ber father the archduchess held bher um happy marriage.

He listened quietly until she had finished, and then sent her away. When she had got part way to the door, however, he ealled her back. And since a king is a king, even if he is one‘s father and very old, The archduchess was hardly surâ€" prised, as one may believe. But she was not minded to yicld too easily. The old resentment against her father flamed. Indifferent mother though she was, she made capital of a fear for Hedwig‘s happiness. "Karnia is better off, A lowland, most of it, and fertile." But a spot of color showed In his old cheeks. "I am glad you spoke of Karnia. Whatâ€" ever plans we make, Karnia must be considered." He raised his ,hand. "You are wrong. Just now, Karnia is doing us the hopor of asking an alliance with us. A matrimonial alliance." Aununciata listened to the end. She felt no pity for those who would betâ€" ter themselves by discontent and its product, revolt. She felt only resentâ€" ment, that her peace was being threatâ€" ened, her position, assailed. And in her resontment she included the king himself. He should have done better. And something of this she did not hesitate to say. "Karnia is quiet enough," she finished, a final thrust. "Why? Karnia does not us." For a halfâ€"hour then, he talked to her. More than for years, be unâ€" bosomed himself. He had tried. His ministers had tried. Taxes had been lightened; the representation of the people increased, until, as he eaid, he was ouly nominally & ruler. But disâ€" content remained. Some who had gone to America and returned with savings enough to set themselves up in busiâ€" ness, had brought back with them the American idea. Annunciata looked more than her age now.. She glanced around the room as though, already, she beard the mob at the doors. "‘To return to the matter of Hedâ€" wig‘s marriage," said the king. "Iâ€"" "Marriage! When our very lives are threatened !" "I would be greatly honored," said the king, "if I might be permitted to finish what I was saying." She had the grace to flush. "Under ‘ the circumstances," the king resumed, "Hedwig‘s marriage lakes on great significanceâ€"great poâ€" litical significance." | changing. fld‘a&bfi mwd-&-â€"lqamu *to see it You may, Asaunaciate. ffi.weflunfid-” will , .

But the next moâ€" ment she rose, and stood in front of him, almost as pale as he was. "You aliow this sort of thing to be pubâ€" lished ?" ‘ "No. But it is published." "And they dare to say things !Ike }thll? Why, jtâ€"it isâ€"" The archduchess was terrified. She had known that there was disaffection about. She knew that in the last few years precautions at the palace had been increased. Sentries were doubled. Men in the uniformés of lackeys, but «oing no labor, were everywhere. But With.tkne and safety she had felt s>â€" "Of course," the king resumed, "things are not as bad as that paper Indicates. It is the voice of the few, rather than the maoy. Still, it is a voice."
