HILL& CO There is only one week more in which to decide how you are going to to vote on the referendum. Aa tlie day approaches enthneiasm is becom- ing more pronounced among the prohibitiouists, and weak and undecided voters are being added to the ranks every day. When the electors begin to understand that under piesent conditions they are partners in the business and that the coming vote gives llicin a chance of getting out of this partnership, tiiey are not slow to make up their minds. Many fathers will vote for the bill as a future proUclion to their sons and daughters. Others will vote for it because it is a matter of conscience, still olliina to put a-,/ay temptation from themselves or a weak brother. As a matter of financial investment even it will be a good thing, bijcause the liquor business is not a producer of wealth hut a de- Btroyer. It takes 150 million IVoiu the people of the country and pays back eleven million. Let us save the lijfi million by placing our cross under the word "Yes" on Thursday next. selves in this respect with the country press, which certainly has as a whole done yeoman service in the campaign. 1 he people all over the country are rubbing their eyes and asking them- eelves what is wrong willi the Torouto dailies. These papers appear to have no ideas whatever to offer tlio tilectors on the great moral question now before us. To our raind this condition of affairs proves several things. First, that the rofereiuhiui is Poliatoea bag. An announcement of great import- ance to Canadians appeared in the dailies of Monday, which stated that the Grand Trunk authorities have decided to build another transconti- nental railway to compete with the C.i Ducks per \mi P. li, This will be good news to the l^u^k^y^ P^, lb " (jeeso per lb. . grain growing yeomen of the west, to ' Hay consumers of the east, and to mine owners, stock raisers and others of llie Pacific coast. C. P. H. stockholders are aboi!t the only ones to grumble. | 'J he United States has three great! transcontinental lines. With the G,j T. li, Great Noithern and C. P. R.} Canada will moniii to the same basis and trade will lluurish. It is eslim- ' ated that one million settlers will come to Canada from llio United Slates during tiie coming year. All these l thii'igs indicate that Canada is "gettiu' i a big boy, now.
