PUI3LISIIRR Abra PROVILTOR TITURiDAY, OCTORF,R 15, 1914 EDITORIAL NOTES The financial statement of the Do- minion for the first half of the present final year. April to September, inclus- ive, shows a falling off in revenue of $6,818,548, as compared with the same period of last year, while current ex- penditures increased by $6,-818,538. Expenditures on capital account de- creased by $4,986,117. The net debt of the Dominion at the end of September stood at $343,386,584, an increase of $11,324 651 during the month. and of $43,799,809 as compared with Septem- ber 30 of last year. We may cottcast with this picture the spectacle presented by the Allies— Russia absolutely prohibiting the, sale of vodka and beer throughout her irn- rnense dominions, France forbidding the sale of absinthe, the British soldier marching through the best vineyards in existence, and temperately demand- ing. as many letters tell us, his cup of tea. The great victory over drunken- • ness in Russia has received far too little attention in this country. Since China proscribed opium the world has seen nothing like it. We have been well re- minded that in sternly prohibiting the sale of spirituous liquor Russia has al- ready vanquished a greater foe than the Germans. Is it fully realized yet that for the Allies, and for the first time in history, this is to all intents and purposes a "teetotal" war? We hope that the indiscreet people who insist on "treating" our soldiers and sailors on their return from the front will realize it very quickly. "The fight sternly waged by all the Allies alike against internperence sym- bolizes the other victory which must eventually be theirs. Troops who march obeying the Tsar's Ukase against drink, who carry in their knapsacks Lord Kitchener's admonition to adjure wine, already have an immense moral advent- a6e over armies whose officers set their men the example of looting every cellar they find. In the vinous excesses of the German forces we see a hint of their coming overthrow." It is interesting to note that since the publication of this editorial it has been announced in Petrograd that the pro- hibition of the sale of vodka is to be continued indefinitely even after the end of the war. This order is based principally on the tremendously im- proved condition of the country since the Emperor issued the edict prohibiting traffic in this liquor. The Russian authorities are so impressed with this startling regeneration of the peasantry that they believe it is likely to have an important effect on the social and eco- nomic conditions of all Russia. EARLY ELECTION POSSIBLE Persistent rumors of a general Dom- ipion election at an early date are abroad. Determined effort is being made by a wing of the Borden Govern- ment to bring this about, The idea seeme to prevail in some quaters that it will be possible for the government to hold a short non -contention session of parliament and then go to the coun- try for endorsation of the action of the government in connection with the war. The strongest pressure for an early appeal to the people in face of a politi- cal truce which has existed since the outbreak ef the war comes from Hon. Robert Rogers and his western follow- ers. They realize that under normal conditions with domestic issues to the fore the Conservatives would have a mighty slim chance in the prairie prov- inces. It is common knowledge here that if Mr. Rogers could have his way the writs would be issued for an elec- tion practically at cnce and parliament would not meet again. This isnot like- ly to occur, however, because Premier Borden and the better element in the Conservative party realize that the people would not regard an election with favour. It would disturb existing conditions and interfere seriously with our efforts to aid the motherland and and the suffering people of France and Belgium in this time of need. ADDRESS ON THE WAR. Hon. George P. Grahanain delivering an address in Hyman Hall, London, on Friday night last said: -The mothers of the British Empire are suffering more than sons because there is suffering greater than wounds. We all sit under a great shadow and are praying that it may be lifted. We are not only praying, but fighting to see it lifted. The untold agony of spirit as well as body will leave a sting that will not be removed in this age. Britain did everything to avert war, but betray her honor and backed up as she was into a corner, she had to fight. I would be ashamed to be called a son of Mother Britain if I was not prepared to do my duty as a son. For years and to night we of Canada are part proprietors of the British Em- pire. The fact that two such peoples as are in the United States and Canada can Iiveside by side for over 100 years with miles of open border between them, and no guns pointed either way, is the greatest object lesson for peace in the world. I charge that the manufacturers of armaments and their tools on the news- papers are largely responsible for the bloodshed in Europe. It is now the duty of the men at home to run their business even at a loss, rather than see men go hungry this winter. The soldier makes his sacrifice at the front; the businessmen must make it at home. Lives are above dollarsand cents. I would rather own a good farm in Western Ontario than have any job I know of. This is the farmer's meet prosperoua year. LIQUOR AND WAR What the London Times says, -Issue of Sept. 25th, 1914:—"The trail of the German troops is marked, as inntuner- alele esitnesses testify, by myriads of empty bottles.

In response to a communication from the Minister of Trade and Commerce at Ottawa, the Warden of the County of Huron held a meeting of his com- mittee at Clinton on Tuesday, Oct. 6th. The communication was to the effect that the Government of Great Britain having assented its acceptance of gifts of foodstuffs from the people of Can- ada, the department had made arrange- ments for the shipment of these con- tributions and asking the Comity of Huron to co-operate. The committee de- cided to confine the contribution to apples, oats and potatoes.
