LOCAL , OPTION
The liquor traffic is Satan's' right arm in every licensed munici ality.
Every vote cast in favor of Local Option is a blow struckp
right. Every vote cast against Loral Option is a blowstruckGa ai nd the
net th
best interests ofthe home,- the family, business' and society.Every
religious denomination has declared it to be a great curse and one of their
greatest enemies. Labor organizations pronounced strongly against it ;
and public sentiment is growing stronger and stronger against it every
year.
But why heap up arguments ? Could any one be coaxed to take the
public platform in defence of the open bar ? Not Otte. Isn't thata rather
significant fact? All sorts of side -issues are brought, forward.; by the
friends of the liquortrama to shift public attention from the main'issue,
They speak of the question of accommodation, of compensation, of muni-
cipal revenge and consequent increase of taxes, of the failure of Local
Option in other towns; of its hurting business; &c, &c. ?'hese questions
have all been thrashed out time and again, in other municipalities :where
the liquor traffic has been fought and ,where Local Option has carried,
These and all kindred questions have been satisfactorily settled, but .re-
member they are only side issues, Let the searchlight of public o ioioa
be concentrated on the main issue, viz„ the insidious influences and P evils
•
of the open bat and there can be only one result on Jan. 3rd. Let the
electorate be fully seized of the awful fact that the bar -room cannot exist
without boys, and the question for every mother and fatlier to decide for
themselves is, Am I willing to rite the risk of my boy' being allured into
the death-trap 1 Whoever votes against Local Option declares tbat he or
she is willing
forun
that risk. -
We hearer great•deal, about Local Option killing the business of a
town Tins is a very powerful bluff but it is not, true to feet as man be
attested by iuslance after instance, - - Orillia has been free from bar -rooms for a year aud eight months.
Numbers of prominent citizens, including men who carry on extensive
business, have testified to the material gain that the town has made and to
the increase, of business activity and general prosperity. In fact, so well
pleased is Oriliia with the results of Local Option that while, 558 people
voted for Local Option two years ago, no less than 756 electors' names
• went on the Local, Option petition in five days, a few weeks ago. (Local
Option carried it''Orillia fwo years ago but wssquashed au a technicality,
though the town has been "dry" since)
In Ripley, after a three gents' trial of Local Option; the friends of
the liquor traffic there could not get nearly enough of names on their
petition last Fall to try for a repeal of the Local Option. The following
letter from Rev. W. A. Bremner, Presbyterian minister in Ripley, speaks
for itself and he vouches for the truth of the statements made
LOCAL OPTION IN RIPLEY
To Say that Local Option has ,been an unqualified success in -the vil-
lage of Ripley is .to state a fact tbat is plain to a11, and admitted by all,
both friends and foes alike, We were told it would kill the business of the
place. It has had the opposite effect. 'Twenty-one business Bion signed a
statement a year ago that Local Option had in no ..wily injured their bus -
Mess since it came into force on the first of
May, 1907. This was during time of the general depression in
trade'wl
lich
was felt by every town
in the Province, "wet' and "dry" alike. • That was a year ago. What is
the history of the last twelve months? Business not only never was better
in Ripley, but business has been better in Ripley than in the surrounding
towns. It is a well known fact, and we are prepared to support' the state•
ment with abundant proof, if necessary, that business that was formerly
being'done in Kincardine and Luckuow is now being transacted in Rip-
ley. it is simply not true, as this experience of Ripley abuudantly; proves,
that the farmers, all other things being equal, would rather market their
produce in a place where liquor is sold 7 The Farmer will sell bis produce
where he finds the best market and 'where he can'. get the highest price,
It is an injustice to the flintier, an injustice, he should warmly resent on
the third 01 January next, to say that leo prefers the place, where Whiskey
is sold. Whiskey is sold in Kincardine aud Lucknow, each only eleven
miles distaut.from Ripley. Tet the farmers dtscrimlhate iu favor of Ri
ler because since the establishing of opposition in the grain business
better prices have prevailed, The attraction of the higher ,price is thus •
proving itself greater and stronger than the lure of the open bar.
