fifths handicap which was not in the
law es peered by the Liberal Govern-
ment. Yet Mr. Spence reserves his
scolding for the Liberal party-.
If Mr. Sparc* is really desirous that
the Liberal party. or any ; arty,
should wake • movement for
advanced temperance legislation.
he should direct his efforts to demon-
strating that the electors will support
any party hi such ft movement. A
great many people look upon the
"temperance vote." in Parliamentary
elections, .. a myth. Where does it
elect any candidates to Parliament?
Mr. Proudfoot during his term in the
Legislature has taken an advanced
position in regard to temperance re-
form; but we do not see the temper-
ance people tumbling over them-
selves to come to his support. Mr.
Spence says the temperance forces are
united ; but until they are sufficiently
united and sufficiently strong to be
able to elect candidau* to the
Legislature they cannot reason-
ably expect the leaders in the Legisla-
ture to rely upon their support.

BADLY FRIGHTFNEU.
A MUNICIPALITY'S RIGHT.
„ Clue of the new planks in the Liberal
Provincial platform is local option in
1e zat.ion. I t proposes ten give each
municipality the right to decide tor
itself whether it will try the plan of
remitting, -in whole or in part, the
taxes oo improvements. This is in
accord with the principles of democ-
racy. It is not the ideal plan, but a
practical one. Lit any municipality
that so desire• try this method of tax-
ation. if it is suoceesful, others will
doubtless adopt it, and finally some
general plan may be inaugurated for
the whole Province, une that will be
suitable for all parte, making due al-
lowance for difference of conditions.
Similarly local option in regard to
the liquor traffic is thoroughly demo-
cratic. It is not the ideal plan ofdeal-
ing with the sale of liquor; it is not
what the temperance people faked for
nor what they cc nsider as a final solu-
tion. But, by means of it., any munici-
pality that wishes it has an opportun-
ity of doing away with the evils of the
open bar and the treating tryst/au, and
Provincial or national prohibition may
follow.
Local option does not deprive a mac
of the right of drinking alcoholic
liquors. It merely completes the
license law by prohibiting altogether
the retail sale of intoxicatiog liquors
in the municipality, which by the
license law is restricted, in Goderich,
to nine licensed persons. Any person
may go or send away and get liquor if
he wishes, but the open temptation of
the licensed bar is removed.
Many municipalities, including
towns, have tried the experiment and
have derived sufficient benefit from it
to induce them to retain the bylaw.
If the people of Goderich decide to
give it a fair trial, there is no doubt
that the town will be the better for
A. M. R.
tend. to keep land idle. It tbe tax
were taken off improvements there
would be more building and better
bulidioge. The Liberal party advo-
cates reform in tazatiou along tLIS
line.
"Henry George is the inspiration of
the Liberal amusement policy. Aad
Henry (Merge was a visionary who
believed that an absolutely fur system
of taxa.iou was a possibility." So
says The Toronto News. There will
be a great awakening for The News
one of these days.
The Whitney Government se. ;1,
be badly scared. It is trying
ploit • half-baked scheme of • r
esteoslon in the counties of 11 .on.
Bruce and Grvy, in order to tater its
candidates io this district. In the
eastern part of the Province, too. it has
become feverishly Active with various
power *chewes which are expected to
do great things for the people and for
the Whitney candidates. NVhether
Lhese attempts to pervert the excellent
policy of public ownership into a
aeries of gigantic bribes to the electors
will do public ownership or the Whit-
ney party any good remaiu. to be
seen.
The bilingual ichoole question &Iso
appears to be contributing to the
anxiety of the Government. Only a
few days ago Sir James Whitney
stated that there were no bilingual
schools in Ontario and. in effect, that
the whole ,natter was of little import-
ance. He has probably heard from
somewhere since, and now the Attor-
ney -General is put up to quiet the
tumult that is being raised within his
own party over this question. Hon.
Mr. Foy states that "thele cannot
lawfully be any bilingual schools in
the Province of Ontario, and if any
tare found they roust cease to exist."
This statement, read to aConservative
-meeting in Toronto, was "received
with prolonged applause."
Another pleasant little trick that is
being played in the interest of the
Government bas its setting in North-
ern Ontario. A new county is beiug
organized, and the prospect of being
made the county seat is dangled before
four towns—Haileybury. istekeard,
Cobalt and F uglebart—wits! dm invi-
tation to vote for the Whitney Gov-
ernment and see what you'll get. It
is pretty small politics for a Govern•
ment with • five -to -one inejurity.
It is worth noting that in seven
years the Whitney Government has
utterly tailed to discless any act of
maladministration on the part of the
former Liberal Government. "Just
let us in," they said in 1905, "and we
will go through the records and show
up the wicked things the Grits have
been doing In the lad thirty years
They got in, they have the records. but
not a single scandal have they die-
oovered.. Sons. lit the old Liberal
Government s supporters cut things
loose at election times ; but the Gov-
ernment Reel( was straight.

FROM OUR CONTEMPORARIES.
LIBERALS AND
TEMPERANCE REFORM.
Rev. Ben. Spence, secretary of the
Ontario branch of the Dominion Alli-
ance, bas been giving the Liberal
party and its new leader a scolding.
He is not /satisfied with the party's
poeitio1 in regard to temperance leg-
islation. Evidently what Mr. Spence
wants Mr. Rowell to do is to get him,
belt into the predicament that Hon. G.
W. Boss wee in—hampered by pledges
which he could not carry out. What
good this would do to Mr. Spence or
the temperance cause it is difficult to
see.
For years prior to 1904 successive
Liberal leaders had given so-called
pledges to tbe temperance people,
These were given without any refer-
ence to a representative gathering of
tbe Liberal party, and it was not un-
til 1904, when a convention of Pro-
vincial Liberals was held at Toronto,
that the party took a definite stand on
the question of legislation respecting
the liquor traffic. Pince that conven-
tion, although the attitude of the Lib-
eral party hes not been satisfactory to
many advanced temperance men, the
party stands honestly before the
people without any affectation or
hypocrisy, with its policy plainly in.
scribed in black and white so that no
person can misunderstand its Until
the party shows itself ready to take a
more advanced stand. Mr. Rowell will
be well advised to give no pledgee out-
side of the clearly determined policy
of the party. Honesty is worth some-
thing. surely, even in the eyes of Rev.
Iden. Spence. I.et the Liberal party
remain booest with itself and with
the electors of the Province.
Since the defeat of the i.ibrrsl party
in 1905. the temperance people have
had reassume to the local option law
peeped yeses before by the Liberal
Government and have won many no -
tail. victories in municipalities
throughout the Prowler* sod this in
eats of the tact that the WWtasy
Goveameat has impanel the three
