PROHIBITION &. CRIME
And now comes a statement !
by Francis William Russell of
Winnipeg, Manitoba, president of j
the Manitoba Moderation League
that, “Western Canada never had
such a crime wave as during the j
last two years of prohibition. 1
Thank God we are rid of it at j
present, i t went out with the j
bootlegger and rumrunner.”
This and more Mi*. Russell
told the Senate Liquor comm-!
idee at W usnington, D. C. recen
tly, and he pointed out how the
people of Mani oba rep, a!ed on
unpopular law when they saw
its evils. Government control of
I quor lias given Manitoba 0,
GOG additional revenue.
The relation of crime to pro
hibitioi) might well be investig
ated in the United States. The

Works of Art
There are no exhibition at
the office of the Light Company
several objects of art, the hand
work of P. W. Holmes, that are
well worth inspection. They con
sist of a floor lamp, in which, the
diamond willow and yellow cedar
are combined to make a most
novel and beautiful piece. There*
is also a table composed of these
woods, in the center of the top of
which is an insert of glass dis-!
closing an array of Alaskan wild
flowers preserved in all their
natural beauty by a process of
winch Mr. Holmes is tin* origin
i
alor. The combination is a par
ticularly handsome one. In addi
tion Mr. Holmes has one of his
flower trays, in which the bios
soms of the Northland are dis
played as only Mr. Holmes ran
prepare them. All together the
exhibit is most attractive, and
will well repay inspection.
