I'oatiood eon IM ventioo, given in The Malo Courter, soya : The feature that the torgeet crowds and excited the greatest, to - terve seemed to be the 'beer stubs,' and bete the visitors and had explained to them '7'hI Psblle Hoven of the Future,' as Dr. Max Hsuius, secretary of the Exposition, calls it, 'haring no bar, no tips, no solicita- tiou. no whiskey, gin, wine or etroog beverages of any kind,' and where only beer and soh drinks were send with refreshments." The trade recognises the objection- able fosters. of the institution it repro - seats, and is evidently trying to ward off iia total extinction, so far is it can by removing the !loot objectiesabie features. The president of the exposition him- self self prophesies the abolition of the bar. as follows : "One object of this exposition." ex- plains Rudolph brand, president, in his opening remarks, "is to teach the American people bow to drink beer properly. anndd how to abolish the saloon bar. bow to abolish the tippi evil nod how to solve the problem of the drink evil." The "beer stubs" is his solution of all these prob- lems. The brewers evidently see the end of their Mtainese staring them in the face. The half measures proposed, while possiblythey may do a little bo prolong the lte of the trade, will not solve the problem. The liquor traffic is doomed, and wiU sooner or later be cleared out rota and branch. What About Tide? A vast proportion of the crime, the insanity, the poyerty, the Meknes', the deaths that add to the burden of humors woe. L directly trsceaWs to the li,1 or traffic. Sir Oliver Mowat, when I' sexier of Ontario, stated that his e. i. -benne and ohservation had convir, -•I him that three-fifths of all the crime was the result of indulgence in strong drink. The report of tbe Inspector of Pris- on+ and Reformatories for the year ending October 31st, 1909, states that of 489 men sent to the Central Prison during the year only seventeen were abstainers, while 442 admitted the drink habit, 318 being classified as in- temperate. If three-fifths of the crinie of this Province is the result of the drink habit which the bar -room promotes. and of which. in many cases. the bar- / amp is the indirect taose, then what a fearful responsibility bar -room sup - potters must bear in relation to the following record taken from the re- port just quoted, giving the figures for commitments to )ail for various offences in tbe Province of Ontario during the past ten years : Men over 16 years of age - 90,900 Women over 18 )-ears of age • 12.450 Children under 18 years of age - 1.844 Total - - - 105,14 This is an average of 1b,519 per year A BLACK LIST. Fearful Record of Drink's Doings to the Last Holiday Season. The publishers of the Alliance News and Temperance Reformer recently made an attempt to secure a partial record of the visible results of the liquor traffic reported in the United Kingdom during the fifteen day. from Christmas Eve, 1910, to Saturday, January 7tb, 1911. he compilation included only cases recorded in the public press, and in whish the record showed drink to have played some important part. 111 the compilation are not included any of the cases width happened be- fore Christmas Eve, although pub- lished after, nor the cases which oc- curred during the fifteen days but were reported subsequent to January 9th. 11 was practically impossible, of concise. to exaruine all the papers of the United Kingdom, so that the re- cord is far from being complete in its terrible aggregate. it must also be remembered that these illustrative rases give to the casual reader no idea of the awful story of sorrow., suffering, sin and shame that lies behind every one of them. The naked figures are but the outline of a terrible extent of woe that no imagination ran compass. Here is the table in which the cases recorded :ire summarized and (-leasi- fled : I. I1. iv. v. Vi.

He is DOW an old man, beaten and spent, waiting only an- other veother discharge to fill himself with the bad whiskey which will start him off once more on his familiar round. In the technical terms of penology, J. H. is* r edicivist ; in common speech. J. H. is a chronic drunkard, an alcoholic "repeater ; in still less elegant terms, J. H. is a "drunk.' The House of Correction of Cleveland. Ohio, has ad - witted one chronic drunkard ninety times : another repeater bas appeared before the polios court in Utica no Ices than 160 time'. Boston has been so repeatedly arresting, trying, imprison - in, one drunkard, that he has spent thirteen out of the last thirty-two .-years in Boston prisons, serving sen- tences ranging from ten days to sev- eral months. Six repeaters were treated at total of 244 days in five Htesta in the alcoholic ward of Bellevue ospital in New York. at a facet of $1.- 170.78. In one year this same ward received 104 peroons four or more times each. and 214 persons three or more timee. And what's the use of all tbis Drunk, with Dead Wife. After having carried no a drunken orgie for three days, with his wife ly. ing dead in the room beside him, Donet McCormick, a roofer, boarding/ at 72 Inspector street, was arrested, and the body of his dead wife. lleleioe McCormick, aged 42 years, was taken to the morgue. The landlady of the boarding house, Mrs. Marie Hardi, discovered the body of the dead woman at 8 o'clock this morning. and immediately informed the police of No. 6 station. Her ate teotioo was attracted by a peculiar odor coating from the room Enter- ing she found McCormick lying drunk on the floor and his wife lying dead on the bed, partly dressed, but with the quilt thrown over her. Her bands and face were black. Mrs. Hardi stated that the McCcr- micks bad been boarding in her house about two weeks, and that they were both hard drinkers. The last tame she saw Mrs. McCormick was on Saturday nigbt, when she paid her lodging. On Saturday night, however, she no- ticed that Mn. McCormick had been drinking, and on the same night Mc- Cormick was drunk, and on Monday morning she told McCormick that be sod his wife would have to go. as Rhe could not keep drunkards in her bouse. Yesterday McCormick came down stairs agaio, but was very drunk, and Mrs. Hardi said that it she had not gone up to the room this morning he would probably have drunk himself to death. as his wife had done. Mrs. Hardt said she did not believe McCor- mit4 knew his wife was dead, as be seemed in a dace all the time he was drinking.- Wits."

Being a Goderich boy and still inter- ested in and proud of the old town. I should like to offer some evidence in favor of local option. We have had it in force in Leamington for • year aad a -half, and from a business pdot of view or any other we consider it a great improvement on the old license system. We have no drunken/sem and very little profanity on the street., and a better and cleaner town in every respect. We have no -empty houses and no poor people needing help from the town. We are aware that some liquor is brought into the town and sold, but not in any great qu*ntity, and the treating system is done away with. 1 am not, as you know, a rabid, rant- ing temperance man, but I believe that local option (even if not a perfect Act) is a step in the right direction and will if parsed by you be of lasting benefit to Gedericb.
