It says: It l.is possible that opponents of the ' three-fths clause may in time come . to regard. that provision with favor. l It is to be kept in mind that the ?lProvince -of `Ontario is now every { year receiving large accessions of l 11 I other countries. where the prohibi- tion sentiment is not nearly so ad- vanced as it is in this country, where the `social "drinking habit is. much more general than here, and where in fact ales or-light wines largely take the place` of our tea and coffee as daily beverages. In time to come` the presence of this clause `in the Act may safeguard " many communities against attempts at repeal with the [aid of the new European vote. It population from .Great Britain and may in the long run prove good strategyifor the prohibitioniststo drop the agitationagainst the clause in question, and to concentrate their energies on carrying as many muni- cipali~ties as possible under this so- called `handicap. Once local option is-established in .a municipal_ity the handicap is transferred to the `shoul- ders of its , opponents, and the `vic- -A-thus`, virtually, becomes-`_a 1fe'r- .-~ "nianent one.

A MIDLAND. UTOPIA. The Globe compares the results in 'Orillia__ and Barrie and `says It is quite absurd to contend that the 195 majority in Orillia affords any better` guarantee of effective enforcement than the 146 majority would have done in Barrie. . Just so. The Globe assumes that the two towns are of equal population. But Barrie polled 1394 votes on L. 0., as against Oril- l_ia s 92!, and this may be taken asa fair measure of their numerical strength. Apart altogether .from the inequality of size of the towns in question, the Globe's `argument is .very lame an`d characteristically un- * just. The line has to be drawn some-- t `where, and, if the percentage falls J -, only one point or fraction of a `point __below what is .necessa1'..y,".t'he condi-;_ tions of the law have not been met. 1
