The Murre cal Mett'odiat Conference lit its recent session voted down a reso- lution condemning the •hrec-fifths clause in the temperance legislation of the Whitney Government, which goes to show that among temperance workers who are riot slaves to party first the three-fifths clause is rapidly costing in- to favor. It is practically a declaration that the Whitney Government was right when it required a three-fifths major- ity to enforce Local Option, and goes to show teat the idea Is a popular ore. An requiring more than a bare majority to enact a law that wipes' out the priv- ate bu antes and destroys the living of rainy .nen without giving them a com- p' nslat'on. And when Local Option hal been ported it ensures its pernn by requlritt T three-fifths to repeal the law. It certeinly looks like a good law and the more It becomes known the more favor It stems tro te'elve. The following I 'gal query and answer from the Mall and Empire ntay Interest people here ;—"X. Y.
