A Better Goderich in Sight
Bar -room Closing.
There is one absolute demonstration
of the effectiveness of the bar -room
closing plan in this Province, against
which no sophistries can prevail. t It
is the sobriety that results from the
closing up of our bar -rooms from seven
o'clock on Saturday night to six o'-
clock on Monday morning.
Some skeptics say that this prohibi-
tion is effective because it is only for
one day and two nights, and that it Is
easier to enforce Sunday "losing when
people are permitted to buy what they
want on the other six days. This,
'however, does not agree with the fact
that In cities and large towns Monday
is frequently the lightest police court
day of the week, although it has the
drunkenness of both Saturday and
Sunday to take care of.
In places where liquor is sold for
seven days in the week, under'"res-
traint, it is well known that the en-
forcement of restrictive provisions on
Sunday is the hardest part of the
police duty in reference to the traffic.
Sunday closing in this Province is an
emphatic success.
Bar -room closing is always a success
when the bar -room is really closed. It
can not cause drunkenness. Where
drunkenness exists in spite of Local
Option, it comes from violation of the
law, not from the law. This is so
simple and manifest a fact that it
seems almost absurd to state it and
yet it seems necessary to do so.
Liquor -sellers who break the law
charge the law with the wrongdoing
that results from their own miscon-
duct. It is as if a man who chopped a
hole in a rood roof so as to let in the
rain declared that a roof was no pro-
tecticn.
Nobody expects the would-be law-
breakers to be honest or sincere in
their arguments ; theirstatearents are
not surprising ; the surprising feature

of the situation is that some people of
Intelligente seem to he credulous
enough to accept the absurdities of
these lawless distorters of logic and
common sense.
The Bar -room a Nuisance
The evil can no more he confined to
the building in which it exists than
the odor of a slaughter house to the
block in which it is located.
I know and you know that they are
in league with every other form of
evil in society. As a rule, if von let
the liquor dealer barb bis way, he
will have a disorderly house upstairs,
be will have a gambling den in his
back room and his place will be the
centre of every sort of evil.
The saloon is the btu -eau of informa-
tion for every sort of crime. It is the
first place that a policeman looks for
crime and the last place he would go
to look for virtue. -William Jennings
