AN EXPLANATION LAST week, on one of the iuside pages of Tns Siug.st. a diagram of the plebiscite billet was printed, without our knowledge or consent, in- structing the electors to vote against Prohibition. This week we have endeavored to get even with the fellows who connived at the scheme, by printing the ballot as it should be marked, and publishing s word or two on the subject. THE LICENSE SYSTEM. SOME of the speakers on either side of the question of prohibition would have us believe that the license system is something which has collie down through the centuries ; that it came over in the Mayflower, and was treas- ured by the Puritan. as the most val- uable suet which they brought from tate Old Land. This is not so, as the lgstem in Canada does not go back one hundred years in the older olio- tricta, and is of later date in this cor- • ner of the Province. `Those of our readers who have read, " In the days of the Canada Company," by the Misses LRAMs, will have observed that BACCHUS was king in the early days, that there was no restriction in making or drinking liquor, and that whiskey as a beverage was almost as common as water. These were the days of pork and whiskey, gone, thank God, never to return. After that came the period of the prohibition of the private still, and the evolution of the licensed distillery, brewery and retailer of ardent spirita and beer under Government and municipal control These were the day, when the liquor interest con- trolled the members of parliament and made and unmade municipal • and county councils That condition of things continued in Ontarionntil 11176,when the Crooks Act, a strong measure made up to a large extent of prohibitory clauses, be came the law of the land, and a new order of thing. was evoked. The shop license holder was prohibited from carrying on the business in connection with his grocery, as be had formerly done, and was given to understand that if be sold whisky he wa prohib- ited from holding any position in the town council. The tavern licensee also was prohibited from holding public office, and was prohibited from keeping his bar -room open after eleven P.Y. on five days of the week, and from 11 P Y. on Saturday to 6 A.M. on Mondaiy, thus securing entire' pro- hibition on Sunday. - In thin way the temperance senti- ment has grown, and Cbday even the antis admit that Ontario occupies s front place ameng the temperance communities of the world. And, say the antis, we are proud of the position Ontario occupies, and Dr. (inane and; his amoetetes, who furnish the ammu- nition for the antis in this campeign, claim that the progress of education toward. temperance should be allowed to continue, and at the end of say twenty-five years the country may be Toady for prohibition. What right has Dr. ORAwy,or those for whom be in the apologist to, claim "; that be or they have had anything to '$ do with the temperance education of Ma poet quarter of • cautery i What ✓ illht haws you to believe that those who oppose prohibition today would ten heed WI to hstp legislation dirfcg tim twenty -11m yawn i Beery Map Isrward that temperance haa usatikh besa by Gown.

THERE is one man in West Huron that the temperance people should honor and respect, and that man is ROHRRT HULrlt6, mayor ct Clutton - The beet way to tell one'sfriends is when there is fighting to be done, and the temperance people today are looking for friends. We are on the eve of a Dominion election campaigns in Huron, and, of all the men named as possible -candi- dates, ROBERT HOLIIXR, and be only, has placed himself on record on the platform in favor of prohibition.
