OODKRICH THURSDAY. JULY 17. ISIS NORTH GREY. The bye -election in North Gorey on Monday was carried by the Conserv- ative candidate, Mr. Colin Y. Cam- eron, with a majority of 278. io the town of Owen Sound Mr. Comecon had a majority of 200, the other portions of the riding giving Mt. McQuaker, the Liberal candidate, a majority of 12. As Owen Sound is a local option town, the vote there is regarded as significant in connection with the fact that the Liberals kept their abolish - the -bar policy well to the forefront throughout the campaign. It is said that the liquor inteteste put up a big fight and spent money levf%hly to de- feat the Libetal candidate, and the Conservative temperance men gener- ally stayed with their• party. Conservative mewspaper•s profess to regard the result es a vindication of Hon. W. J. Hanna in the matter of the Proudfoot chargee; but they ate greedy mistaken If they consider the affair is at an end. The people must assert the right oftheit representatives in Parliament to investigate the ex- penditure of the public funds, and when they realize the iniquity of the gag methods that were used at the last seision of the Legislature they may be trti ted tp speak with no un- certain voice. Mr. Rowell be, made the following atstement on the result (.f the elec- tion.: "My information convinces me that the result in North Gtey was due to the open combination between the 1Vhitoey Government and the liquor interests, with unlimited financial re- lources at their disposal. For tLe sake of Mr. McQuaker, who was an exceptionally fine hype of candidate, and the workers who .10(•d an val- iantly h y him, re t the re - I mg re- sult. The loss of the seat, however, will have its compensations if it helps to awaken the people of the Province to the undoubted feet of an offensive and defensive alliance between the Whitney Government and the liquor interest.. When the people realize that this combination exists i do not believe that they will stand for it. This bye -election is but an incident in the fight which will go on 146 un- abated vigor for a progre=sive Govern- ment and the abolition of the bar. Wen need the cu uwding spirit. It 111+y- 1equire events like North Grey- to awaken the people to the situation and develop this spirit." THE IiUARDIAN AND THE GLOBE. In its issue just prior to the voting in the North Grey bye -election, The Christian Guardian (the official paper of the Methodist church) maids an at- tack up to ,The Toronto Globe, in an article Leaded "A L'quor Organ." re- proaching The Globe for publishing liquor ndvrrtisement, and claiming that this was inconsistent with its editutial advocacy of the closing of the hare. Mr. Rowell's name was jugged into The Guardian'earticle. and The Globe was mentioned as "the or- gan of the Liberal party in Ontario." If The Guardian were the organ of the Licensed Victuallers Association, it coulfi hardly have published an article more to the liking of its tnastets, at t ilia particular juoctuIr. its lecture of The Globe was no doubt u . d to Italie the conscience of many a voter in North Grey whose principle& urged him to vote Liberal but whose party pre- judices pulled the other way. Takeo in coajuoctinn with the fact that The Guardian has not troubled Itself to support the abolish -the -bar movement as opportunity afforded, it loots as if The Guardian , and not The Globe, were the "liquor orgaa." The Gnarliest harms that The (!lobe bag no odour eo•aertloo with the Liberal party. There was no ooeaaioa for The Guardian's sseotloo of the Ubsonlpsty la the [ratter at .11, u..

What advertlsementa TM Globe may choose t o publish o r not Ino publish le no conoern of the Liberal party or of Mr. Rowell. The Globe's own reputation may be at stake, but if The Guardian were really looking for a "Ilquue organ" it could find several papers in Toronto tbat would more readily bear the title than The Globe, As to the abstract question whether it is right fors newspaper to publish, whiskey advertisements or not. a good deal may be said oo both sides. A o ewspaper must not be held to endorse all that is said or set forth in its ad - vet tieing columns. It is published for all kinds of people, and no particular class has a right to dictate :ts course. If the people who regard the advertising of liquors as a fault had desired to give effect to their views they had an opportunity when The Montreal Daily Witness was in existence, but The Daily Witness has ceased to be, and now, we believe, every large daily newspaper in Canada accepts liquor advertising. Some .of the smaller papers do not. The Signal has for years refused such advertising —not on any well-defined principle, but because the management did not care to accept it. It has hewer claimed any specie! credit for its course in this respect, and doesn't expect to receive any, As things are now in the newspaper b u.inesr, it is the advertising, and not the subscription revenue,. that keep. a newspaper afloat. Until sub- scribes are prepared to pay • great deal more for their newspapers than they do at present, they have not much ground for complaint as to anything that may appear in the advertising columns. Perhaps at some time in Um future newspapers will be published for their subscribers, and hot for the advertisers, but that happy time is not yet in sight. EDITORIAL NOTES. Cameron, instead of MacQuaker, got the "Scotch" vote. North Grey given another example of the unsubstantiality of "the temper- ance vote." The proposal toaholish the bar seems to be abolishing the Liberal party in the Legislatute. - Perhaps A. G. MacKay wawa bigger man than some people gave him credit for. At any rate, he i•ekl North Grey. The Christian Guardian "loves its enemies' so well that it helped the liquor interests to win the North Grey election, From Montreal comes the proposal of a World's Exposition in 1017 to cele- brate the jubilee of the Canadian con- federation, worth while having the Tories win a hye-election, just to see how it delights The London Free Press and some other Toryorgans. g us.

Out of the Federal grant in aid of agriculture in Ontario, 1380,000 is to be devoted to an eztensioma the work of district representatives.

How do Methodist temperance men like the action of their church organ, The Christian Guardian, on the eve of an important bye -election. in mikinq a covert attack upon Mr. Rowell ? To us it looks like a particularly dirty piece of treachery.

Mr. Hallows' letters to 1 he Signal on Western conditions have created a great deal of interest. Some visitors from the West criticize them as unduly pessimistic. Mr. Sallow. would Ilse the last man to claim the infallibility of his views. He simply gives hisown impressions : others may quite honestly see things in a different light. An event of the Bret importance in Canadian journalism took place last week, when Tee' Montreal' Doily Witness ceased publication, nr, more precisely, became absorbed in a new publication, The Montreal Telegraph and Witness. Coder the guidance of Lhe Oougalle, father and son, The Witness held; al unique; position among Canadian newspapers, being noted for its devotion to those prin- ciples which tend to moral wdvance- rtteot and its independent, intelligent and fair attitude towards public men and public questions. Somehow or other -- perhaps because too few people are willing to support the hest kind of journalism when such support means dollars and cents—The \Vitnees for agood manyyears was not paying, and now it has been sold toanewcow- piny which will publish a Liberal daily. The Hret number of The Tele- graph appeared on Saturday, and jadgiug from its enthusiastic recep- tion the new journal should have a highly successful career. The firm of John Dougall & Son will continue to publish The Weekly Witness, World Wide and other weekly periodicals. FROM OUR CONTEMPORARIES. No Takers.
