PROHIBITION 1N ONTARIO The following statement was made by Mr. N. W. Rowell, K.C.. M.P.P., Leader of the Opposition in the Ontario Legislature on September the kith before i I I, leaving London, England. The Liberal { 1, Leader sailed from Liverpool on September 9th: - "September 16th marks a new era in the industrial and social life of the Province," said Mr. N. W. Rowell, K. C., Leader of the Liberal Opposition in Ontario in speaking to The Globe to -day with reference to the coming into operation of the new Ontario Temper- ance Act. Thousands of our fellow - citizens have given years of unselfish service to secure the coming of this day; others have cheerfully given up fur the public good that which they claimed to be their right; and the bill which passed the Legislature without a dissenting voice comes into operation as an expression of deep conviction as well as of the patriotic spirit of the people of the Province. All I have learned from Russians of the affect of the pro- hibition of the sale of liquor in Russia, and all I have seen and learned in France and Great Britain, confirm the wisdom and patriotism of the course pursued in closing all drinking places in Ontario during the war. "When the war is over and our gallant soldiers who survive the conflict have returned to their homes, and normal conditions have been re-estab• lished,'the people of the Province will have the opportunity of saying whether they wish the law to continue, or to re- vert to former conditions. I am con- vinced that if the law is well enforced it will be as permanent as our local option laws have proved to be, and the benefits to the whole Province will be as great as or greater than those which have accrued to citizens in local option communities." "The passing of the law removes from those engaged in the hotel busi- ness the civil and social disabilities from which they have hitherto suffered by reason of the bar, and I am persuad- ed that if the law is well enforced the time will yet come when even those who most strongly oppose the present act will acknowledge that the closing of the drinking places during the war was a wise and patriotic course to fl pursue." EDITORIAL NOTES British Columbia completes the solid block of Province with Liberal Govern- ments from Ontario to the Pacific Ocean. The Eastern Provinces are more equally divided, Ontario, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island, Conservative, Quebec and Nova Scotia, Liberal. In Ontario five bye -elections have been held in recent years, and 'all have been unfavorable to the Govern- ment, big majorities being cut down in Hamilton and Dundas, while in three con- stituencies formerly Conservatives, the Government candidates have been de- feated. Three of the Ontario contests were held before the prohibition law was passed. Two weeks after outbreak of the war The Outlook said: "We believe with Hegel that God has a plan and that his- tory is nothiug but the working out of His plan in human affairs. And we believe that the Austrian Prime Minis- ter and the German Emperor have made a fatal mistake in leaving this truth out of their reeking in their endeavor to destroy the great demon- cratic movement in Europe." That faith we repeat. The end of this war will come with the end of militarism, not before. And the end of militarism will come when the German people realize the fatal blunder of war lords, the falsity of their philosophy and the futile malice of their purpose. It may come only gradually as the wear- ing away of the German forces con- vinces the German people that militar- ism has failed; it may come suddenly with a disaster to German arms so overwhelming that no explanatiovan destroy its effect on the mind of the German people. But it will come in 1,144 Germany, as it came in our country, when the ambitious hopes of the leaders are destroyed and the people awake to the truth. -New York Outlook.

Campbell r+4 COAL HOW IT AFFEC I'S C. T. A. COS One of the results of prohibition in Ontario will be a sharper distinction be- tween hotels in the true sense of the term and places that ale hotels only in name. Of such a distinction there has always been a clamant need. A hotel is a place for the entertainment of strangers. The traveling public needs lodging, food, and such other comforts as are usually obtainable at home. These hostelries are expected to pro- vide. How hotel -keeping ever came to be associated with the sale of liquor it would be difficult to explain, unless we think how natural it would be to "tarry long at the wine" in the good old inns of Elizabethan days. So far as the Province of Ontario is concerned, per- haps the connection arose from the terms of the license law, which made no provision whatever for saloons, and presumed that everyone receiving a hotel license for the sale of liquor was the keeper of a legitimate tavern. One of the designs of the Ontario License Commission, which would have been carried out if prohibition had not intervened, was the wedding out of all mere drinking -places in favor of the bona fide hotels. Perhaps prohibition will produce a similar result. -From the Hamilton Spectator. Best D. L. & W Scran- ton Coal.

T. A. counties of Huron and Perth: 1.

All liquor sent into Ontario for personal or family use must be plainly labelled to show the actual contents and the name of the shipper, also the cor- rect name of the person who is import- ing it, and any railway or express agent is liabe to be fined who handles a ship- ment which is : not so addressed' and lLbelled. 3. Personal or family use is to be taken in a very restricted sense and only includes the members of the house- hold, and does not include guests. 4. The only place liquor can be kept by any person not licensed to sell, is in a private dwelling, and does not pre - mit its being kept, under any pretense in a boarding -house (for lodgers other than the members of the family is considered a boarding house), hotel, shop, office, club, work -shop or store, and a priyane dwelling is very strictly defined in the Ontario Temperance Act. 5.

Why not get hold of some- thing genuinely good in quality and satisfaction and stick to it. Economy in Corsets doesn't mean paying out the least money. It means getting the most in style, comfort and wear for the money you do pay out. We have customers who insist on D. & A. Corsets at $2.50 and $3.00 in prefer- ence to less expensive lines. They last longer as a matter of course and are correspondingly finer in work- manship and finish. Try theplan of paying a little more and getting a little better. Corsets are like shoes. The best are the cheapest in the end. J. A. MILLS Successor to T. A. Mills PHONE 89. WINGHAM, ONT i
