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. � sales teed: kyp• tag stA pr lies. !t 1 less than sic.

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..

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 it.

Every school teacher' in the Prov- ince of Ontario should be properly qualified to give instruction in the English language. This is the policy of the Liberal party. sir James Whitney stands stub- bornly in the way of the tax reform movement. The strengthening of the Opposition would make him a little more amenable to reason. Couldn't Phase Him.
