Advance. 43RD YEAR NO 28 WINOEIAM, ONT., THURSDAY, APRIL 8, 1915 Trying To Wipe Out the Remembrance of a Disgraceful Act 'Let me ask' my right hon. friend Bir Wilfrid Laurier, if there is anything upon his heart, or his conscience, that induces him to move this amendment? I would ask my right hon. Mend to take the drama of Macbeth and refer to the sieep-walking scene in the fifth act, in which Lady Macbeth, look- ing upon the hand stained with the blood of King Duncan, says, 'All the perfumes of Arabia will not sweeten that little hand.' My right hon, friend the Prime Millie - ter, acting upon the preacient ad- vice of the Admiralty, two years ago introduced into thin Rouse the Naval Aid Bill, whose purpose was to aesist in the naval defence of the Empire. My right hon. friend the leader of the opposition ob- structed and killed that Bill. I say to him now --I say it with great respect, I say it without any im- putation except upon his states- manship, certainly not upon his loyalty—that all the amendments, whether relating to the British Pre- ference or otherwise that he may move now or at any other time will never obliterate the memory of the action which he took in con- nection with the Naval Aid Bill," —ECOn. W. T. White. A Contrast. Mr. Editor:— Will you kindly allow me a small space in one of your valued columns in order that I may imprees as I was impressed on Sunday lest by two tree mendeons contrasts. Last Sunday all churches in Wingham and doubtleee throughout all christendorn, were jubilant with songs of The Risen, Christ, young girls dreesed in white- ness, and well dressed young men be- hind them, echoed and re-echoed those magnificent strain& He is Risen He is Risen; so hearty were they in the joyious fact, that congregations could scarcely refrain from an encore. But stay right here; the curtain falls, and as it rises again, behold a scene so vastly different, so terribly tragic. A great army, an innumerable multitude gathered in battle array, to cut, eliteb, kill and elay each other, each eager for the others blood, as the vulture for the carrion. England, France, Ruesia, Servia, Austria and Germany, with the millions and their tens of millions, screeching like eagles, and roaring like wild beasts of the forest over that which they cannot explain. Cannon belching forth fire and death, death in the air above, death in the sea beneath, until dead men, young, comely, etrcng and brave, and the world'e very choicest, are heaped to- gether lute great heap3, esat wauld make angels veil their faces and weep. How does it catch you, Sit? Gladness and Life, Immortality and Hope, and the big battle field of Prance, full of Death, mortality and corruption. Retpectfully Tour, Beckwith.

Liquor License bill In the Legieleture this week, the good faith of the Gov- ernment in proposing to absolutely di- vorce the administration of the Liquor License law in °anti° from the field of politics, in parstrioace of the policy declared by Sir James Whitney yv hen in Opposition and amplified by him when in power, was abondantly sh rwn. Member after member on the Conser- vative wide offered hie testimony to the progress that bad been made In this direction and provided a convincing answer to the carping criticism of Lib- eral speakers. Perhaps no member was able to speak with oaors authority on this point that Mr. A. H. Muegroye (North Hurolr) who in o short, but effective speech laid bare the vain op- portunism of the Opposition. Mr. Musgrove said one of the prin- cipal points u the administration of the Liquor License Law is enforcement. "You cannot make people stop doing a thing they feel they have the zight to do," he said, eland therefore you must have rigid enforcement of the law. The presont Government had ti ied to enforce the law, and the suoceve that It has achieved is ehown in the progress that temperance reform hos made in Ontario in the last ten years." Thie was clearly demonstrated in the Coun- ty of Huron where the provielone of the option clauses waa so well carried out that the County was able to carry the Scott Act, and only eight licenses had to be cut off. In the last contest Air. Muegrove said the Liberals had aesociated with them every man in the community who had worked against law enforcement. The people who help(' Mr. Rowell would never raise a band for law en- forcement. Those who had charge of the Liberal campaign in June last hail a great deal to do with tusking local option a failure. So far" as he we aware local option had been supported for many years in the County of Huron by leading Conservativire. The church had made iteelf offensive in the issue, and he believed it would take many years for the temperance question to regain the ground it lest on June 29th last. With regard to official interference, Mr. Musgrove said in his own riding he had upheld the Board of License Commissioners on many °ectoderm and endorsed their action in cutterg off the licenses on tne first of May tot. It was eignificant that during the last campaign the riding had been flooded with epeakers from the outside. He wondered why these "missioortedes" did -not go into other countiee, Mr. Rowell's poeition was not the trove en- viablee.' While the Liberal Leader was doing legal work fer the Soo Oornpaniee, Capt. Sullivan was doing his work on the "Minnie M." He believed the appointment of a Provincial Commission to administer the Liquor License Law was a move in tbe tight direction. If you get a Conarniertion that may shorten the hours of sale with power to reduce li- ceirsee—and without the power to in- crease them—and will look after the accommodation for the trevellieg pub- lic, you will do more for the eau ot of temperence than in any other way. Moveover, after this Comznissioi h te visited the different parts of the Pro- vince, from Ottawa, to Sarnia, and from the North to the Great Lane, It should be able to come back to the Government with proposels for furth- er regulating the traffic third will ren- der a great service to the Provloce. would enggest this to the Goveenurent and to the Cr:dominion Oat where it is possible apely local option to the counties and I would place truce coun. ties as are net under the Scott Act under the local option law." With regard to aduainietrati en Le declared that the Government had said it would he reeponsible, ond he was assured that would be so. To those who had ineinuated that the Govern- ment was under the influence of the liquor trade he said that no mall in the liquor party had any string or iofluen- ce on him. In hie own town a liquor merchant had turned agair et him be- cause he would not recommenS a six months' extension of the license at d that man's place was the heaelq tarters of the Opposition during the aampeign. In conclusion, Me. Muegrove said much had been heard about the pro - °male in Saskatchewan, but if We in- formation was correct there wee a loophole in the scheme that would make it barren of the resulte Its promotors were claiming for it. In Ontario progress was being male by easy, but satiefactory stage' and the advance was sure to be permanent. St, Helens.
