public sentiment in Canada with regard to importation manu facture and sale of intoxicating li quors date of polling has been fixed for the of present month contest therefore will soon oyer and as it involves issue upon which people sincerely entertain widely divergent views wo trust it will bo conducted from acrimony and other features characterizing political elections We need not say to our readers that so far as this journal is concerned its sympathies are on sido of pro hibition but this is the caso wo have no to dogmatize where there is such a scope for differ of opinion on part of who entertain opposite viowa from equally honest and sincere motives as to what will best to termination of admitted evils of liquor traffic If prohibition can- not stand the test impartial dis cussion and be fully demonstrated to lie in the interest of good government and wellbeing of society then the country isnot ready for it Mean while wo may say there is no room for sympathy with purely sentimental theories It is too late in the day to argue for instance that to forbid a man to do that which is injurious to his neighbor if not to himself and contrary to wellbeing of society is an infringement of personal liberty very of license legislation since Confederation especially with prohibitory clauses involving tho very principle which the friends of temperance ask to be introduced by plebiscite now being taken The very legislation which says a licensee shall not do thus and so is a con tradiction to personal liberty in fringement argument Equally worth less and compen sation argument Since Confedera tion about licenses have been cut in Ontario alone as result of restrictive legislation but no one ever thought of compensating those who were deprived of their privileges to sell liquors The very fact that licenses are only of implies that those who acquire privileges thereunder admit both the riht and the power of State as the interests of society demand to prohibit As to the question Will prohibi tion prohibit we frankly admit it is hard to affirm with for iWO have no precedents to guide in forming conclusion In the neigh boring Republic whore State legisla tion has been enacted such as Maine it did not go far as is proposed by tho present plebiscite it did not in point of fact prevent the importation of liquors The and Acts in this country were too limited in their operation to afford anything like reliable tests hut of thing we are assured the restric tive legislation of the past two de cades although sometimes indifferent ly enforced has resulted in reducing drunkenness and diminishing crime and by a parody of- reasoning we are led to the conclusion that prohibi tion contemplated by the plebiscite equally effective along restric tive lines in producing results that will entirely obliterate the existing drinking customs More than that it will remove the apparent cloak of respectability now to the drink habits of the country and die- courage
