PERANCE LITERATURE
Takes up Gauntlet Thrown by Business
Men's Association and Offers to
Fight in the Support of Cause
Says Hotel Keepers Do Not Rule
by Divine Right.
Dr. 111. Strang, who has recently
corm kora 50 yew. in lbw tracblog pro -
1.0110n. add' voted a public meeting
called In ter interests of the (*amide
Temperance act. held iu the Tempe..
ante hall on eiuuday attern000. It
was well attended.
In opening 1)r. Strang said that until
quite recently be had always been an
advocate of using liquor 111 toodea-
ltun and even at the time the cam
paign was commenced, he had out
Ifully eunaidsit est whether it would Ile
advisableto stamp out the sale of
, liquor all together. Hut he had siert,
runslderrd it tulle and wanted to hook
at the guestiou from an unbiased
rttndpoint.
It seemed to bim that the "sunk nrllat'
bonunl-the supo ewe good", or "the
greatest good to the grewtest nuiolea"
shogld Inconsidered a 9.lue.ttut no
this kind. In his earlier day.' when he
had out seen "eye to eye.' with the
Temperance cause los arguruent was
that if yo.t pas' a pleasure in nth -atter
of public opinion that measure will
out be maintained (bin now he cun:iJ-
ered that there Many reawno why this
act shnnhl be p+sand. That the them -
HMI clause had blocked Local Option;
that the two governments. (Dominion
and Pvovinciall now being in harmony.
the pledge .,f the Hon. Mr. Hanot had
been given and the Temperance propos
believed it; that public opinion had
now advent:ed sufficiently to support
the measure, and 1 Ii.t 1be liquor law
had been Hagtantly violet,d.
NOT 1:Y DIVINE lel(; HT
•'The business of keeping a hotel is
jest an good it business ae anything
else, but it should la• refauued flow
the bar. A number of mon in Toronto
who keep hotels would be glad to di.
aaaoclale the bar from the hotel. But
the trouble with the great nlajotity tN
botel-keepers is that 1 hey don't realize
that the keeping of it hotel is a privi-
lege they enjoy from the people and
not by Divine richt, which they believe
they have. it is A in ivilege the people
give then) and as the liquor then have
abused this privilege.. It is the"duty of
the people to take it away trout thea/."
he said.
The old gentleman went on the show
that by abolishing the lar. entrances
to hotrlr would le free from the un•
oily ooh whose obscene langauge wail
ntfensive to ladies passing. The
speaker Beverly scored the tactics
of the liquor men and told of a case
where it l.w•nl hotel-ke^per used to
send for a working man on his pay
day and getting him into the ear.
would keep him there nut, he had
spent ell his earnings. Such practices+
were simply ttnutentionebly low and
should never be tcloiated.
"The argument post -mated by the
liquor men is that we should let it alone
said," I),-. Strang. "if it let'. us alone.
Rut it won't de. that. it always takes
the sggrrsitve wide."
l'HALLEiGE ACCEPTED.
The speaker took article No. sevpo

Nan to pick it to pieces. H. stated
that he did not believe either Mr.
