The following testitnooy front one of the newspeper editors f
. . ,
Owen Sound is convincing ae to the success of local option there. It

ShoUld be read with great care and made use of by all our friends in
o
$ Ontario, Manitoba and British Columbia at the preeent crisie :
'"1,...The very best evidence that we can give you that local olthou
is a success is that we rethined it for another three years at the palls in
January last, by a good majority, in spite of the combined force of all
the liquor interests in Canada. to discredit the bylaw and defeat it.

"2. Hotel accommodation was never better than at Present., and
there is plenty of it, notwithstanding the fact that some of the old
$places are practically closed.
"3. The town continues its steady increase in population, up-
wards of a hundred new buildings being erected each year eince 'opal
1 option was voted on, notwithstanding the general business depression
of the past two years,
"4. Business is corning to town from a larger area of country than
ever before. The Christmas market of 1908 was the largest the town
has ever known. Prices were gond.
. "5. Many merchants tell us of old debts collected since local op-
tion carried, that they never expected tO get. Men are now paying
$
cash who were formerly on the ragged edge of poverty through drink.
"6. The circumstances of quite a number of families that I know
have been chenged from squalor and poverty to ordinary conifor t.
$
This has been good for all merchants and dealers. .A. drinking man is
a good customerlor second-hand clothes ; a seber man for new clothes
$ and other things as well.
'I, There Is practically no rowdyism, loafing or bed language on $
the streets ---a vet.y marked difference from the rough time under
$license. .
"8. A few drunk men are seen on the streets ; what there are
being put out to make a show and because it is dangerous to keep them
where they get the drink. Under license they would be hidden away,
$
and there would be twenty then to one now.
"9. Those who still get liquor formed the appetite under license.
I do not knew of a single new appetite being formed under local option.
$
"10. Young men students who come to town do net get liquor or
form the drink habit.
e "11. It isa. very rare thing to see a drunken farmer leeving town.
$ 'Ceder license there were plenty of them.
"12. There is scene bottle drinking done by young men and older .
men who formed the habit under license, but there was plenty of
$ bottle drinking under license. • '
"13. 1 have good authority for saying that there is less liquor
illegally sold under local option than what was sold illegally under
$ license.
"14. The moral condition of the tiznin is improved under local
option.
"15: The town values continue to increase. Here are the assess,
$ merits : .
1905 84,454,997 1009.. . ., $5 138,621
The year 1909 contains additions of territory. amount ing to
a $261,290, the uet am'ount of the old part being $4.877,331. This is the
t• assessment for collegiate taxation, which is the most complete.
'On. The rate of taxation remains steady. ' •

steady demand. The. year 1906, the first under locel option, shows a
$
large inereage. Since that time elect If ic light is replacing it.
"18 The consumption ofelectric current is enormously increased.
More people cell afford it now.

"20. The benevolence account of the town showed the good effect f
of local option. The population was quite largely increased in 1907 and
$
1908, especielly by English and European emigrants,- many of whoni
needed assistance after the shortege of work caused by the penic of
$the fall of 1907. The payments of 1908 wet e largely increased by the
