• The Three -Fifths Reqnirement:
• (Toronto News)
We doubt if the provision in the
.;neW License Bill which requires a three
elfiths'yote of -the electors of the munic-
ipality in order to give effect to local
• option will operate to the disadvantage
• 7.. of the prohibitionists. There may be
eases where local option, when sup-
ported by only a bare majority of the
voters, has been reasonably well ere-
• forced.. But such ..ntses are .few, and
generally the law is repealed at the
4: first opportunity. We can all remem-
be'r that the Scott Act was adqpted tri
two-thirds of the counties of Ontarib,
and in many cases by very large ma-
•, jorities, and a few -years afterwards
- was summarily swept mit of existence
, from one end of the Province le the
• Other. So iv the United States the ex-
• perience with prohibition, mainly sow-
ing to the difficulties of enforcement,
Juts not been .geneestily satisfactory4
and of all the states which have adopt-
• nd prohibition during the last thirty
or forty years, only in one or two hae
the law continued in operation. .
•Liquor drinking is not regarded as a•
;crime by the mass of the people, and
therefore few persons are willing to
sist public officers in the enforcement
of prohibitory measures. • It .is pos-
sible, of course, by exceptional effort,
to enforce a law, no matter how em itt
the majority by which it has. been:ire-
posed on the community. • But en-
forcement under such circomstances •
soon breeds reaction, and leads inevi-
tabl3 to the repeal of the measure.
With the requirement' that three
fifths of the votes polled must support
loe..al option in order to -giye it legal ef-
fect, such legislation •hVitot go into

the law will stand against the most de-
termined effort to secure its repeal,
This means that every step taken by

Opposition leader, 'but I feel very
strongly, upon this point. What is the

the government is, for.some reason,
seeking to hamper that sentiment

temperance movement which redounds
to the credit of glie people."
Hon. Mr. Hanna claimed that the
records in Ontario denionstreted that

while in every place wined -better than

"'We are told that the temperance
element had a pull here and the liquor
element a pull there," declared the
Provincial Secretary, "but as a matter
of fact we tried to frame 4 measure of
sound reason for the whole people of
the Province without , regani to any
section."

ranches for the raising of live stock.
This development, if it proceeds, .will

ports of wheat. A similar change is
taking place in the famous. spring

Another effect will be to give labor

Heretofore laborers lave been stead-

to be,said in favor of a• large, healthy

Westerns Ontario the proposed

Eastern Ontario the salaries will be

true friend of Public School education.

What would, be thought of a law
that allowed a doctor to kill or cure

another examination ? Nothing in
China is quite so absurd. •
e Under the new system, after attend -
twee at a Normal School and the pass-
ing of the usual examination% interim
certificates will be issued, which after
two years's successful teaching will bel
made permanent. This is the method
now used for High Schcol teachers. It
