D. Conant has issued a bulky memorandum which de- fines legal and illega2I siot machines and gives close directions to officers on pro-, cedure ini taking action. In other worda, illégal slot machines, or siot machines which are iscd in. an illegal fashion, cannot becrmade légal by any muni- cipal by-iaw purporting to license them. "Some people," advised Mr. Conant, "cappear to be under the impression that a municipal by-law purporting to license slot machines makea the use of such machines legal and regular. The-law regardiug illegal alôl machines is Dominion législation and part of the Oriminal Code. Only the Do- minion Parliameut eau change the law in any way. " Siol machines which are used for vendiug gum or candy with no chance of wiuning or losing anylhing and in which the resuit of placing the coin is known i advance, are flot illégal. Similarly slot machines in which a coin is inserted for the purpose of playing a game for amusement only witb no chance of winniug. or losing auything, are flot cou- trary to the Criminel code. Howcver officers are reminded tiraI machines legal in themscives caauibe used illegally. The foregoing may have no effeet on the decision of Bowmanvile couficil regardliug licensing machines. While ual fully défend- ing the action of the council it is well to point 49ut that tire orders. of the Attorney- Genera have flot been eontraveued in any way and the onus of keeping the use of the- machines withiu the somewhat "elastie" law has becu left to the owners and the police.

Second, to comment editorlal- ly upon these events wlth a view ta shaping local poû4tc opinion. And public opinion is the force that moves goyeru- ments.

So, here below, we liât some of the things we have eàid, from week to week. .and We parallel them with some of the things that have been donc tbrough the force of publie opinion.
