and every dollar of which must leave
.some citizen poorer. Unlike the man-
ufacture of shoes or clothing or brooks,
or furniture, or other useful commo-
dities, the liquor producer puts noth-
ing of value into the homes of those
whose wealth he gathers in. Th

happier, lives brighter and the coun-

liquor traffic wrecks homes,debases in-

our cwntry's life worse instead of

We are told that if men cannot slake
their thirst at the bar -room, they will

Let me say in reply that I know many

my flock who has been on a spree, I
almost invariably. hear this confession:
"Father, I did not intend to get drunk,
but i met a few friends and they
pressed me to have a drink with them.
I bad to order my treat like the rest,
and the moment we had two or three
rounds of drink we were all ready to
sing. 'We won't go home until morn-

until well on to noon, for we found

our own St. Lawrence would not run
dry immediately. After a disease has
been conquered it takes some time to
eliminate its poison from the blood.
So we cannot expect to do away at
once with the effects of centuries of
drinking. Let local option get a fair
trial. and it will convert, as it has in
many cases converted, those who were
at first its opponents into its warm
friends.
Personal Liberty.
But we are told that the policy of
local option is an infringement of per-
sonal hbetty. Personal liberty is dear
to us all. For my part I wish to see
personal liberty given the highest
possible latitude consistent with the
public good. Jealous regard foer-
sonal liberty most be con' itionedpeby

1 to exercise his public liberty to the
I detriment of his country is ignor•
ant of the elementary principles of
true liberty.
The Treating System.
There we have in a nutshell the j
process of drunkard manufacture. The
pernicious association of friendship
with the social glees which has come ,
down to us through generations is.
notwithstanding the blessed revolu-
tion in public sentiment which has
then place in the past 40 years, still

children did not want to pass it after

pectoration. Young girls were insult-
ed by tear -room toughs. Property all
round was depreciated in value.ttOn

residents of the neighborhood were

personal liberty sty in connection

Sober by Act of Parliament.
But we are ,told that you cannot
make men virtuous or sober by Act
of Parliament. Neither can we make
men prosperous by Act of Parliament,
yet wise and progressive legislation
has much to do with prosperity. The
same is true of morality, By remov-
ing incentives to vice, and making the
way of the traosgre'eor hard legisla-
lation is a powerful aid to decency.
And the value is not an much in the
penalties it inflicts as in the educative
influence it exercises.
We are told that the proper way to
promote true temperance is by educa-
tion, and by legislation. This shows
an utter ignorance of the relationship
between these two. Education and
legislation ere not opposed. They go
band in hand. Enlightened legislation
is the crystalization of sound educe -
ion. We talk of the big improvement
which has taken place in public senti-
ment in the matter of drinking within
the last 40 year*. Yes, and the mile-
stones of that improvement are a
series of laws representing the liquor
traffic. 'the education which has
brought about the salutuary change
noted has been in a great measure the
work of campaigns such as this.
Grid bless local option, I say. Its
object is to do away with the most
potent agency earth ever saw for the
undoing of the Saviour's work. "Glory
to God, peace to men "--did anyone
ever hear this anthem issuing from a
her -room ?? Did anyone ever know a
home to be made brighter by • bar-

for It any affinity with heaven.
