BAR IS GONE FOR EVER. Secs W. S.

"HAVE A HEART" --o. - There are many* phrases that have come into use lately, and some of them have a great deal of meaning that's bard to express in any other way. Among these latter-day phas- es there in one, "Have a Heart," that can well be applied to a situation that every newspaper published in the Dominion is faking and has been fac- ing for months past. The demand for free notices in con- nection with almoat every move in the war, and the raising of battalions and of funds, has come to a point now where it is not fair to expect the pa. era to accede to ,all the re- quests. It is doubtful, if there is any ciao. of trade that has donatedso openly of its stock -in -trade as the netvapaaers. The only thing they have to sell in the white space in their paper, and every week is a cer- tain amount of this given to patriotic and Red ,Caoss purposes absolutely free. In the aggregate, this amounts to. a very ,great deal. A newspaper, although having a quasi -public nature, is, in so far as its financing {is concerned, a private concern, and es such is feeling the. excessive cost of material, the in- creasing expense and other burdens that fall on the financial end of the business. It might be well far the public to keep this in mind that a newspaper has to pay its way like any other concern and that there is alimit to what it can give away. And besides that there is no reason why advance noticed of anything no matter wheth- er the object is to raise money or to have a good time, should not be paid for, and reckoned as a legiti- mate expense. -So says an exchange and the Advocate agrees with the sentiment,. POINTS ON BOOZE. An officer under the Temperance Act is not justified in %searching a. man's grip, simply because he believes a man is carrying liquor. The Act is clear on that paint, says Hon. 1. B. Lucas. The officer must act in a re- asonable way, and must have reason for belief or suspicion that a man has liquor for the purpose of sale before he can make any search. Magistrate Andrews' convictions ag- ainst Thomas Berry of Hensall and N. Cantin of St. Joseph, for violations of the Canada Temperance Act, giv- en in September last, have been up- held in the appeals before • Judge Latchford at Toronto. The judge held that, according to the C.T.A. there is no appeal from ,a police magistrate's decision, and consequent- ly the merits of either case could not be re -opened in a higher court. Magistrate Dennison 'stated while hearing a liquor case in Toronto po- llee court that "It is illegal to com- bine 'to order or import liquor. He also decided. that *while a man might in bis own house, give a' bottle of liquor ,to a friend for the latter to take home, it was idiiegal foe a manta take a bottle .af liquor over to a friend'; house land give et to the lat- ter there. • That druggists who sell so-called medicated \vines that are really "col- orable devices" for traffic in liquor are liable to a penalty of $200 to $1000 op: co,•..viction is the, warning the Jn,- tario License Board gives to the 2000 or more druggists in Ontario. The text of the Board's warning makes, it clear that the board, in the Ontario Temperance Act, has machinery to enable it to prosecute a druggist for selling litiuor ;withovt a license, 011ie character of 'the beverage warrants it, • Magistrate Andrews of Clinton has given judgment in the 320 gallon, whis- key case against Jacob Weber of Sea - forth and the liquor will not go back to Weber's cellar unless be can win on at np, eal which he claims Ise will make. The magistrate gave a written judgment, reviewing the •case and showing on what points :be based his decision stating that, while the On - twit? Temperancesay tar Act does not ay what quantity a man may have in his possession be did not think it permit- ted an unlimited or reasonable amount as this shipment seemed to be. Local News Come to.
