The result of the North Grey bye - election has been the subject of con- siderable comment in the Liberal press. The impression appears to be general that the abolish -the -bar plank in the party platform was a prime factor in the defeat of the Liberal can didate, and comments range them selves largely around this phase of the Di tuation. The Stratford Beacon oheervee that while Conservative temperance men stayed with their party, the liquor men, knowing no politics but their own interests, were able to sway • considerable number of votes ; and the result was that Mr. Meilnaker, a life- long Liberal temperance man of hig atandin in the community, was .leughtered in what was believed to be a stronghold of temperance. Tb Beacon contioues: "With this combination in operation in every constituency if r. Rowell has a hard read to hoe for many years to come. No natter how despotic, over bearing and indifferent to the public needs the Whitney Government may be, it will always have a strong and not overscrupulous ally at ita back actuated by eel( interest. which will see it through. Mr. Rowell and his followers, actuated by the highest and , most unselfish motives, as we believe them to be, may evolve a progressive program, which they have done. and expose public wrongdoing at much personal sacrifice-- but these will be of little avail. at least in the immediate future. The influence wielded by the Alliance of Tory partisanship and the liquor interests will overcome any movement founded solely on the public welfare...... Meanwhile this Province will halve to wait for needed reforms in its other activities, and the fine abilities of Mr. Rowell and his little band of followers in the Leici,lature will be wasted. Is the 'hanish-lbe- barplank in the Libetal platform worth the sacraflce The London Advertiser is ready to fight it out on the abolish -the -bar platform.' Referring to the alliance between the (iovernmeot and the liquor forces which cat:lied the day in North Grey, it says: "But it will not be so easy for the liquor interests to do with a whole Province what they have done with one electoral division. The energies concentrated on a single riding must be spread in s general election over nearly one hundred ridines. All the resources of tbe• Government, too, were poured into North Grey, as • defeat would bare been interpreted es a condemnation of the Provincial Sec- retary, and would have been ominous for the Whitney regime. The Gov- ernment. like the liquor interest. will not be able to exercise an equal in- fluence in every riding in a general election. The result will canoe no wavering ir. the ranks of the Provin- cial Liberal party. . The banish -the - bar issue must be might out over the whole Province. In the public mind it will come to be regar'dyd aa a shasply- defined contest between the temper- ance and anti -temperance force*, es the combination between the liquor trade and the Government becomes more avowed. In such a battle time and the right will he on the side of the Liberal party." The Hamilton Times, considering the comparatively small rote polled, believes that "the real cause of the defeat bay in the apathy of the farmers or their want of time to go to tae polls. Red they come oto- as they should have come out they could have elected the Liberal candidate." Th. Times continues : "We are well away, that then are lint a few UberaM In the cities es- pecially who refuse to follow Mr. Rowell in his 'abolish -the -bar' policy, They take tbe star:d that the (Sties are not ripe for nreb legislation.

It goes pa to ay : "The one practical thing to do is the calling at as early a date as feas- ible of a Provincial convention cf • thoroughly representative character. There is still a great army of Liheral voters in Ontario plenty of material out or which to build up in a very short space of time a party teat can- not be denied a triumph at the polls. Whitneyism in Ontario is a receding tide. The Government is strong only in the disruption of its opponents. An open schism in its own ranks over the matter of as reform ; the labor unions iucensed because of repeated rebuffs to their requests for modern legisla- tion ; its educational policy the laughing stock of all who are compe- tent to pronounce judgment. and de- servedly unpopular with the people generally ; the Agricultural Depart- ment admittedly in the hands of • good-o•tured incompetent ; the finan- oss of the Province approaching a resort to direct taxation ; the licensed victuallers themselves 'hammed to death by the most repressive legiala- lion ever put upon • statute book by a British parliament since the blue laws of the colony of Connecticut were en- acted, ready to welcome a Govern- ment that will treat them as human beings instead of patiabs ; all combine to point only in one direction, to a great Liberal reaction in Ontario. The split in the party ranks on the liquor policy alone obstructs the way. Let us get back on fighting ground." The Guelph Mercury also calla for a Provincial Liberal convention, but it is not discouraged by the North Grey result. It says : "Tbe mere winning of elections- is neither bere nor there where principle is at stake. The success of any Poli - tial party is a matter of small c onsid- oration, unless that 'success is indica- tive of great mewauree being passed for the public good. A platform such as Ontario Liberals have adopted in regard to temperance is ort going to be an immediate success. The thing is right, though, and although its ulti- mate achievement may he delayed and detoured, it is bound to win in the end. simply because it is right." The Signal's opinion is that the bnniab-the-bar platform must be given the taste( a general election. It will b then he fairly well determined how much sincerity there is iu the ad- vanced temperance movement. If the e Liberals are defeated on this issue in a general election, a Provincial con- vention should then be called to deter- mine whether or not other reforms needed in this Province are to be neg- lected indefinitely for what may be a hopeless crusade on the -ne issue. The local option laws will still give scope for the efforts of temperance worker,. in the meantime Liberals may well consider the North Grey incident as only a skirmish In the figbL EDITORIAL NOTES.

L. a matter of fact, tbe speech of the First Lord of the Admiralty does not at all bearout the contention of the Conservative prem. To uum it looks aa it Mr. Churchill had taken ULe hint to refrain from any comment that would offend either party in Canada. Canadian papers differ as to the meaning of Winston Churchill's recent speech on naval again in the Btiti h douse of Commoos. We cannot tee that it makes a great deal of difference to this country what Mr. Churchill said, or what he meant. It would be• fine state of affairs if the people of Canada were expected tc vote a few million dollars every time Winston Churchill sneezes. Better progress will be made in matters of Imperial co- operation when some people come to realize that Canadians—the majority of them—have minds of their own and are quite capable of directing the ex- penditure of their own money. it would be interesting W have an explanation from The London Fres Pressot itestatement that the Whitney Government's legislation "has made meat of North Grey 'dry,' including the town of Owen Sound." Every municipality in Ontario that goes "dry" does so in spite of, not because of, the Whitney legislation imposing the three fifths handicap. Owen Sound adopted local option on the ma- jority vote, as enacted by the old Lib- eral Government, and has retained it on the majority vote. The Free Press should not carry ita customary disre- gard for the truth into the discussion ofaffairs concerning which the facts are so well known. We hear people talk sometimes as if Goderich were unique in its methods of securing new industries. The granting of aid by way of bonus. loin or guarantee is, however, going on all over Ontario- or, to epeak with more exact knowledge, all over Western Ontario at any rate. Jost a few day* ago the town of Orillia voted to a new industry a loan of 125,000 for twenty years without interest, a free site and a fixed assessment. These are much better terns than the ratepayers of Goderich have been asked to grant io any recent proposition. If a remedy for the bonus habit is to be secured it will have to be by a Provincial enact- ment which would invalidate all such bylaws. At Twilight.
