"You want me just to wait here, is that it?" asked the girl, somewhat mystified. ' Why on éarth adybody. should be re- quired to wait in a vacant room was something which Caroline could not understand, but Mrs, Varney's next words sought to explain it, "l.dou't wot you merely to wait here but--well, in fact, I don't want anybody to go out on the veranda, or into the garden, from the front of the . house, under any dircumstances."

She turned to the other window. Now that she had made the plunge, she determined to see what was going on if. she could. She dréw the couch up. before the. window and knelt down upon it, and parting the curtains, looked out, but with the same results as before. In this questionable posi- tion she was unfortunately caught by Wilfred Varney." 3 ; He was dressed in the gray jacket and the trousers which she had re paired.

"No," said Caroline in the same tone, "she's just gone upstairs to see Howard, but she is coming back in a few minutes, she sald." "Well," returned Wilfred, throwing his chest gut impressively, "I am not running away from her, but if she saw te with these on she might feel funny." © "1 don't think," quickly, "that she funy. : "Well, you know what I mean," said Wilfred, flushing a little.

There was something terribly ominous about it. But Wilfred blun- dered blindly on, unconscioys of this emotion or of its cause. He drew from the pocket in his blouse a paper.

Defending the govepmment. in. the legislature, H. E. Schofield mamed. 39 changes in the law made during the conservative rbgime, which he .clain- ed as being progréssive temperance legislation. In regard to some of them he was right. Some .of them could hardly be stated as temperance legislation, for example, the large listed are not of special value, as restrictive legislation, while in some respects local control af the liquor traffic has been curtailed, specially noticeable in this connection being the three-fifths requirement under which temperance workers cannot carry a local option. by-law unless they poll in its faver fifty per. cent. more than -the lignor party against it, Let us look, however, at the question of whether or not generally gpeaking, the promises "of improve- ment tould be said to be fairly carried. out. Restriction. ~There have been changes such as making the "opening of bar rooms 8 AM. instead of 6 A.M., prohibition of sale of liquor on Christmas Pay and Good Friday, prohibition of sale of bottles of liguor in taverns, and others that are decidedly betterments, but in this connection it must in fair- ness be pointed out that the govern- ment has turned a deaf ear to the many appeals for shortening of Hours of sale in the evening, which would be of far more value than the morn- ing curtailment, for the closing of bar-rooims on all public holidays, and many other similar reguests of tem- perance delegations and conventions that have been disregarded. Then it is very unfortunate that there has to be recorded the establishment of li- quor without such authority, and the steady increase in club licenses, of which twenty-four were granted: in the license year beginning 1906, and the number had risen to fifty-seven in the license year beginning in 1912. Furthermore the failure of the gov- ernment to effectively enforce the law. against liquor selling on steam- boats and dining cars-has been very discreditable. Such administrative methods must be said to be the very reverse of '"'wholesome restriction." _~Reduction of Licenses. The conservatives came into pow- er in the beginning of the year 1905.

This was a total reduction {of 844 which has certainly been a {great advantage to the country. Let (us look for a moment at the facts concerniie, it. - { During the period named the {number of licenses cut off by local {option by-laws was 768, the number {eut off by licenge redugtion by-laws | was 104, making a total of 872 shops fand bar-rooms which were closed by ithe action of the electors in the {different localities. Inasmuch 4s the tdtal reduction {| was but 844, while the electors voted out 872, it follows that the difference, 38, represents'an increase in the number of licehges which the electors {did not interfere to prevent. So that the Eoverniient (gs to its credit no reduction, at all, but an increase of 38. | In addition it must be borne in mind that there are now 123 munici- palities in which local option by-laws are counted as defeated, although tmajorities were polled in their favor; and in these municipalities there are lat present in operation 408 licenses.

Political Influence. This is a subject which is apt to provoke controversy, but the inter- ference of politicians with the ad- ministration of the license law during the present regime, has in many cases been notogiotis, From the time when disastrous r_sulte were produc- ed by the meddling with the Toronto license commissioners, which the min- ister of education started, down to the present time, including the dis- creditable preformance of Inspector Snider, many well-known incidents have contributed to a record of partisan interference with license ad- inistration that is exceedingly re- ttable. £ Res . Many cases might be cited in which the Hon. Mr. Hanna did good work in insisting upon law observance and. law enforcement. Derelict in- spectors were replaced by better men. Legislation was passed increasing penalties, and providing. enforcing machinery; There have -been other cases howeveb, in which office has been retained by inspectors more no- torious for inefficiency than for any- thing else. Provincial Inspéctor Cor- rey is reported as having told an as sembly. of license-holders at St. Car- tharines, the other day, that the phe- nomenal sweep of local option throughout this province was due to the lawless conduct of the liquor sellers. The effective cleanups. made in many placés tby government detectives were sufficient demonstration: that the "lo- cal officers were either; useless or worse. If to all this is added the tacit official connivance at'daw breaking on steamers and passenger trains, there is a sorry record of mon-fulfil- nent of the premier's promise eon- cerning this matter, followers and Allan Studholme have this year did Sir James consent to Wearied with the inaes Sir James ized the necessity of work- 27.000 SERIOUSLY INJURED IN os.
