A Legitimate Business ? The greatest cr of society is the allowing of the open barrooms, con- etantly epreeding temptation in the way of those who :tie trying to con- quer the drink deuton in themselves. Today we are ac ustomed to the words that the liquor business i. a legitimate trade. and providing ,t kerpe within the limit, of tae law ought to be let seine. The writer doubts its legitimacy tie he sees the results of its prosecution' ell around hiss. How much of the crime of our land has to be charged to it, ercount? How many inuates of our resyluuws are there through alcoholic liquors, directly cr indirectly ? blow many homes are broken up because of its inroads into the family life? And yet it iaclaimed to be a legitimate business. 1 beg to ditrei. Without fear of contradiction by persons capable of j.idging. I pro- claim alcohol to be a poison and as such ought to be sold and cad under the same r etrictions as strychnine. arsenic. opium and other prisons. "Health is always in some way or other injured by it ; benefited by it— never." Upholders of the liquor husi- 111•1, tell us that liquor is a food and as such increases the working power of those who take it. Never wase greater faiw•hocd tcld. nor a more deceitful fake attempted. "It bas been proved ' by scientific experience that alcohol is, first a strong, protoplasm poison and causes degeneration of bodily tissue. and, secondly. that by a weakening effect upon the brain it diminishes the sum total of the available force of the body more than it adds to its energy."

What other business produoes criminals to the extent the rink elide does? Tell us a•bueinees that breaks up as many bomes and ruins as many lives as the liquor ;ius- inees does. Governor manly, of in- diana. recently said, "Six per cent. of all accidents, twenty-five per cent.. of all suicides, seventy per cent. of all critnes involving physical violence. and fifty per cent. of all those in which lust is the dominant factor can be traced to the excessive use of intoxi- cants. The Lord Chief Justice of England recently declared that, 'if sifted, nine -tenths of tbe crime of England and Watts could be traced to drink."'

It always tends to produce criminals in the population at large, and law-breakieg among the saloon- keepers themselves." If this is true, and let kin, who disputes it prove it false. where dors its claim of legitim- acy coma in ? Leave it alone ! Impassible ! How can it be done? (Doss it practice what it preaches and leave the people alone? Are the people to lie down weekly and allow it to ride roughshod over them? They who think so are sadly mistaken. The rising tide of temper- ance is iserraeing with the rapidity of a Bay of Fundy tide. Whereas a few year( ago temperance sentiment was confined to a few iw-ople restricted in power sad influence, today its sup- porters are found everywhere and among all classes. People are breaking church ties. leaving the political par- ties to join tbe temperance tanks. In the domain of organised labor strong temperance feeling prevails, and the inertia of half a century is yielding. lo its compact.

The temperance people of the Prov- ince are again rtarehalling their tercet for another attack upon the liquor traffic in the Province of On- tario, and present indications point te- a large number of local option con- tests, voting to take place on next New Tear's nay.' Of the ie., Municipalities in the Prov- ince, 442 are already "dry." Of the 380 still under license there are 138 where local option bylaws failed to carry in the voting of 1910 or 1911, and where, therefore, it will be impossible for contests to be brought on in Janke 'ar next. There are only 244 municipalities under license in which campaigns are possible. Voting will take place in about one-third of these. it will be seen, therefore, that, although the number of contests is not as large as in some previous years, the proportion of contests to the places open for at- tack is greater than ever. Itis only six or seven years since the Dominion Alliance began in real earnest its use of the local option method. 'n the municipalities where temperance sentiment is strongest, lo- cal option hylaws have already been carried. it is places where the liquor traffic is more deeply entrenched that are still ender license. As the tem- perance workers go further their task becomes increasingly difficult, but on the other hand it would seem that the movement is gatbering a momentum as it goe9, and places are certainly carrying local option bylaws now where success would not be considered a practical possibility a few years ago. The temperance workets are greatly encouraged by the way local option seems to stay where it is carried. and certainly the facts and figures pub- lished regarding the attempts to re - pal local option would seem to bear out their contention along this line. In 1909 there were ninety-seven On tario municipalities where local option bylaws had been in force three years and where repeal was possible. The liquor interests brought on voting in twenty-nine places and in twenty- seven of the twenty-nine local option was sustained. In 1910 tbere were 111 po Bible repeal contests. Voting was brought on in twelve places only. and local option was sustained in ten. In 1911 the success of local option was even more marked. Tbere were 134 munieipali ire where local option by - Isms had been in force three years. in 131 of th-se the liquor interests found it imp sail le to truster up strength ennutrh to bring on a repeal vote. Three municipalities voted and all three sustained local option, the ag- gregate vote in the three places being : For local option. 1043 ; against, 519— majority for, 514. And the liquor in- terest(' claim that local option is not wanted. What say the facts ? Elated by the 'meccas of the past few year, the temperance workers are going Into the new contests with, increased confidence. On the other hand. the liquor men will most eer Laioly offer a more determined resist- anee than ever befc•re. Th• liquor activity will show itself not only in opposition to the carrying of local option in the places where the tem- perance people are the attacking par - tie.. hut they apparently are adopting the strategy of a counter attack, and are endeavoring to [ming on repeal contests in every pns.ihle plsee. Ow- ing t•o the partial lifting of the lid by the liovrrotnent in regard to law en- forcement, this plan is msatiag with re or lees success, and the present perspect now is that out of about 1611 possible repeal contests voting will take piste. in perhaps eight per cene of the places. What seeress the liquor interests will have at the polls remains to he seen. li looks as though the temper- ance people) will bring on contests to carry kora, option in stout 3iper cent. of the places open to them There are Immo interesting features in Pinne1-Uon with this year's cam- paign.
