(THIS NATTER SUPPLIED BY THE LOCAL OPTION OOMMITIU.) I Local Option fok Goderich , Can the Bar be Regulated?, The Liquor 7 raftic the Curse of Our Country Banish the Bar Why Not Regulate the Bar ? The question is often submitted, is it not better to regulate the har than to banish it? By regulation is under- stood that control of the bar by law or otherwise which completely irreventa the evils commonly consequent upon an open bar. By "tear" is understood the traffic in alcoholic liquors tor bev- erage purposes. Now the question is, why not regu- late tbe bar? This is it. question not of today. Dor indeed of yesterday. It is old. It is musty with age. If the bar over was regulated by Law or otherwise eo that it was shorn of all evil consequences, that regulation has not been written in the literature of men. It is unknown. The fatal in- dictment against the bar is that it has never obeyed any law designed t it its regulation. The fact is that accord- ing to the law of the nature of things it never can be tegulated. Think it nut. To regulate by law or otherwise a thing abeolutely and inherently evil in itself is an impossibility. It calls for abolition. It is a fact well known that different systems of control and regulation have been tried in differ- ent countries and all have been Proved to be useless. Licenses high, low and moderate have also failed. Moral suasion, legal compul- sion and the impious effort to lend sanctity to the ba" by opening it with sacred song and prayer—an act that authenticates the utter depravity and ever descending immorality of the men guilty of such an act of blasphemy— have all gone out through doors of de- feat. Tbese things are so well known that detailed statement is needless. From what we see it is evident that the bar takes no cognizance of resole - Goo except to defy it- Give the bar a Ouse and it must go from shame to shame. It cannot do otherwise. Its nature will not allow it to do otherwise. In itself and its effect upon the com- munity it is absolutely evil. Even if the har did help the town financially (which is as unthinkable as it js im- possible►, we should close it because it destroys character. And in the de- struction of character who wilt tell bow many other precious things are lost forever? The fact remains clear as the daylight that no clean, self-re- specting community can consent to receive revenue from the rices of the people. If tt.e community receive revenue from he vice of drunkennes why not from other unmentionable vices? Who aitierentiates? To make wealth out of the vices of the people is vicious in th extreme. it is immoral. It degrades the manses. Mutely the bar lives upon the vices of the people. it is tbe great centre of iniquity. It is a moral disease culture in the com- munity where it it tolerated. It is the hatchery of blackguardisei and crime, filling the centres of population w i t h, creatures whose condition. ri 11 WATCHESIPay Yt Willou DIAMONDS - To make your Christmas selections early, and where you can find the most artistic novelties from the hest -known European and American factories.

Harrison Jeweller Or tar Severs Geiser. 0 UMBRELLAS J through contact with the bar, is urged as airt'zcuse for the immorality which makes them dangerous to the com- munity. Its trade mark is unmletak- 'stile. Alt tars are the same in prin- t ciple and the finished product is the same in every ratne. And why not regulate the bar ? aWhat consummate folly it is to at- tempt the regulation of such • pesti- ferous abomination! The situation calls for abolition of the bar and not, iia regulation. This is what local op-' tion does. It banishes the bar and protects the bill labs hotel. It ban- ishes the bur and gives childhood. wifehood, manhood and homehood ,t chance 10 live. Let the shn•wd. cleat -brained busi- ness man do swine thinking about the j bar, its nature and effect upon the community. Aud let the folk of syr ene intelligence. sympathetic with all goodness, get bu\y, for wisdom whisp- en the value of the opportunity that is upon us. Boston bas the '!regulated" saloon. I 1 Last year there was one -arrest for drunkenness out of every eighteen of the population of the city. The ac- tual number of arrests for drunken- ness was 35,(110. Why Not ? w'e confine the insane, the epileptic and dissolute, the contagiously diseased, but permit the drunkard, at titles a much more dangerous menace to society, absolute freedom of indul- gence. Yet when in local option cam- paigns we situges& the rational 'thing to do, the sal ton apologist crita out against encroachment upon personal liberty. Individual liberty of con- science, thought and action, without certain limitations, is the priceless heritage of every Canadian, and it is a principle that should be guarded with zealous vigilance. It is tbe ideal pol- itical state of mar„ but is subject to one otber principle—the comfort, virtue and welfare of the community. Absolute personal freedom is impos- sible. It is the dream of tbe anarchist only. Wherever there is a law, the law is nee..eary for our very exis- tence, there are cbecks and limitations on personal liberty. In fact, any law of God and man restricts the liberty of the individual. We deny the right of the thief to take things of value by stealth. We deny the right of the embezzler to take by , deceit. We deny the right of the property -owner to construct buildings of inflammable materials Within the fire limits of the city. We deny the right of sports- men to kill game out of season. We deny the right of marriage witbout license and prescribed ceremony. We deny the use of firearms within the limits of an Incorporated city. We deny the right of a man afflicted with certain cootagioua diesaees to mingle with his fellows'. Why. then, should we not, in perfect harmony with our institutions and fundamental prin- ciples cf out government, eliminate the greatest plague in our social or- ganism, the liquor traffic ? Do Yea Know a Bar -room That does your town any good? That makes its patrons better paren u ? y That gives anything[ of real value for the money spent over its bar ? That brings happiness to the homes of those who patronize it ? That helps young men to lead better lives ? That makes better citizens? That if wiped out would cause los s to the welfare and heppinesss of the in- habitants of the neighborhood ? if So, Where is it ? What Major G eneral Frederick D. Great Says. "Drink i; the greatest curse of l•hrtatendow, because practically all crime and all disaster are tbe result of it. Ninety-five per cent—I will Ins ke it no less—of desertions and acts of lawlessness in the army Is due to drink. Vice is simply d ink in an- other form. Who ever heard of a Faioon completely divorced from the 'white si tee .rants.' or a house of im- famy wi bout a bar? You may tell the young men that General Grant does not drink a drop of liquor—has not for eighteen ,ranee—because he is afraid to drink It." What Emiasat Catholics Say.
