prohibition and in de fence the Hon Geo Ross who so ably holds the office of Premier of We dont wish to enter into any ar gument with those who are cont4nu- on argument by correspondence in the Globe and papers but we beg to take exception to some of the utterances of the most prominent and educated men of our province One man will argue that prohibition is a failure and even ventures to say that if a majority is cast in favor of prohibition it wont stand on its own pinions Then again we look to socalled prohibitionists and they will condemn the former for the simple reason that he is an antiprohibitionist and then goes on to condemn toe Bill laid down by the Hon Ross The Referendum is condemned on l ground that the question of prohibi tion is ripe and ought to be enforced without asking the consent of the electors Every fairminded person will know that any question before the public does not stand condemned or item one election to another For in for eighteen years the Conservative Government held tie lelns power over the Do minion of Canada firstly under the leadership of the late Sir John A McDonald then Sir John Thompson and others up to Sir Tupper who all advocated the National Pol icy from one side of the Dominion to the other The time of election pre vious to their defeat the National Policy was yet before the people and the Coo Government was elected to power by a large ami handsome ma jority hut sis yeara ago when Sir came before the people as Premier of Canada and an admirer of the how quickly had the voice of the people changed over throwing the P and electing the Hon Sir Wilfrid to the Pre miership to direct and manage an economical and progressive Govern ment as it has proved itself to be All this explanation is not necessary to get at the point in question but hope that readers will not take it amiss under the instances- The point in view here is to show how much- public sentiment is changed in such a short time of Ave years and even four years which limits our On tario Government So tion even if the feeling seems to fa vor it with a majority in 98 we are confident that it should be a question alone and should be dealt with alone by the people and as soon as pos sible and not for the Government to assume full responsibility of passing an act on so important a question without having a genuine back bone with which to feci that tiiey are justi fied in so doing Anyone who has given Hon Ross speech a fair reading and understands the of a man in the position he now occupies would surely say and say candidly that he has given study and thought to the entire question and has done what he thinks and helpful measure moral re- form Now let us look at what has teen said in the Local members- Hardly anything Hardly one member in the House of either patty opens his mouth on the ques tion- It would be a great satisfac tion to the majority of people if we could have an opinion Let them stand by their colors and whatever they miy be let them stand before the province be willing to be de feated or elected in the cause of mor ality or a fallen people then we shall know right from wrong in vot ing If one is ever in doubt as to what position to take upon any question of morals or temperance or citizenship or social or political reform if he will stoutly oppose what the liquor men favor he will be right every time In the very nature of the case it is ut terly impossible for liquor men to favor or good and pure and noble and righteous and morally uplifting Their whole busi ness in every phase of it from centre to circumference from foundation to capstone is to man subver sive of everything that is good with out a single redeeming quality Let lovers of truth and righteousness keep the Flag of Temperance fluttering in the air and hold the flag high so he who carries it may not ab sent himself from the public view Yet we believe that some of those who seem to love truth and are doing the cause of Temper ance and prohibition more harm by introducing new fads as it were and those who ought to abide by the Pre miers decision They cannot make it any better by arguing one with all ot and
