Clear, definite and straightforward, the Liberal Leader has stated his position on one of the great .issues before the Province to -day. The Liberal members of the Legislature met in caucus Tues- day afternoon, and just before going into the House Mr. N.W. Rowell, K.C.; filed with the Clerk a notice of motion which defines the attitude of the party on the question. The notice reads: - That in the opinion of this House the public interests demand: (1) The immediate abolition of the bar; (2) Such other restrictions upon the residue of the liquor traffic as experi- ence may show to be necessary to limit its operations and effective to remedy its evils; (3) The strict enforcement of the lawby officials in sympathy with law enforcement, and the elimination of political influence from the administra- tion of the law; (4) Regulation and inspection of all houses of public entertainment so as to insure reasonable accommodation for the travelling public. The adoption of the Liberal policy would withdraw from all hotels the license to sell liquor over the bar or supply it to guests with their meals or in any other way. It would restrict the sale of liquor to shops, where, as at present, purchasers would not be allowed to consume it on the premises. This would confine drinking to pri- vate houses and to clubs, and would destroy the treating system that flour- ishes because of the facilities provided by the open bar. The Liberal party would seek by reg- ulation and inspection to secure for travellers proper accommodation in the hotels throughout the Province, which would then have as their sole reason for existence the undivided duty of caring for the travelling public. Mrs. Mary Larocque died at Brock - in her 104th year. The supplementary estimates brought down in the Commons exceed $19,500,000. Geo. Kellerman, of Dashwood, ex- pects to sow about 600 acres inflax this spring. The Trades and Labor Council of Ber- lin and Waterloo has come out against the buiding of the proposed armories at Berlin. On having attained to his eighty- ninth birthday3ames McMichael ("Wee Boots"), of Seaforth, received congrat- ulated from his Clinton friends in the shape of a birthday badge, suitably in- scribed. John Daney, a riveter, employed at the drydock in Port Arthur, has receiv- ed notification that an uncle in Chicago, unheard of for fifteen years, died some time ago, leaving hire an estate of $2,500,000. Asa result of the distress in Italy, due to the war in Tripoli, p , s omething like a vrholesale emigration of Italians to Austria is taking place. Over 2,800 of these emigrants arrived at one Aus- trian town in one day. They are willing to accept work at reditulous wages, and give terrible ateounts of the misery prevailing in Italy, TRADE WITH NEW ZEALAND. Imports from Canada into New Zea- land during the year 1911 were $1118,200 in excess of those for 1910, says Mr. W. A. Beddoe, Canadian Trade Commis- sioner, writing from Auliland on Feb. 16th, to the Department of Trade and Commerce. There may be seine varia- tion in the figures, but they will be larger not smaller, when all returns are in. Articles imported from Cana- da during the last quarter -October, November and December, 1911- had a value of $451,505, and covered 107 items, of which 42 were entitled to preferential treatment. As to the re- mainder, agricultural imp.einents and plain and barbed wire, of which large quantities were imported; enter free. The preference affects those articles which are imported in large quantities, such as paper, fish and furniture. The feature of the season, Mr. Bed - doe adds, has been the rapid growth of the export of butter from New Zealand to Vancouver. This trade has exceed- ed the most sanguine expectations of the merchants, their resources having been taxed to the utmost to meet the great demand from the Canadian mar- ket. Up to this time last season only 2,958 boxes of butter had been sent to Vancouver, whereas the total for this season stands at 19,926 boxes. trvltl0.

PRODUCE WANTED -CASH OR TRADE A bill in the Legislature to extend the franchise to women has given a six months's hoist, "Time is money" is an old addage and is verified by the payment of $50,- 000 by C. K. Billings, or New York, to August Uhlein of Milwaukee, for the world renowned horse "Harvester," that trotted a mile in the wonderful time of 2 minutes and 1 second. The horse will be taken to Russia for ex- hibition purposes: Mr. Billings is a faddist on speed and now has the fast- est stallion, gelding and mare, so it is said, with an investment of many thousands of dollars. Sport comes high if you go after the record breakers and in his purchases the new owner of "Harvester" has found that time is money. tainiratiocomesummi PROPERTY FOR SALE. • The undersigned offers for sale his desirable property in the Wingham Town Plot, containing ten acres, more or less.
