There is something In that which is quite ddffedent to the usual mill. rue of war -threat comment.

WARWICK; Village Clerk Some Brief Notes of the Canada Temperance Act •No. 3—Why Suspension was Asyed Aanoug the counties that reverted for seta -protection to the Cahatee Tetnperanes Aet about 1915 were Huron, Perth and Peel, When the Canada Temper alive Act wan brought in Huron on May of that year eleven of the sixteen town- ships and in addition the Town of t,.,tou. Were under local option - law. During the progress of the War, the Ontario Temperance Act, imposing province -wade prohibition/ cf retail sate, was passed in 1916, There Is a natural development iu lawe to meet changed conditions and growing abuses which appear with the passage of time, The liquor laws- are no exception and the provincial Act or 1916 carried more ample provision than the Dontin. ion law of 1878, It also carried heavier penalties. But the general rule that when a Dominion act and a provincial ae•t cover the same charges, the Dominion law takes Precedence, prevented the apg'1ea- tion of these hoavler penalties in Huron and other counties under the Canada Temperance Act. In order to secure the complete application o1 the . provincial pro- hibitory Ian', the Canada Temper - mice Act was amended so as to provide for the suspension of its operations on petition of the elec- tors concerned. Huron, Perth and Peel took advantage of this pro- vision and in each county the op- eration of the Act was suspended by order of the Governor-General in Council The terms of this. sus- pension provision were- a bit in- definite, The suspension was, to continue as long as the provincial statute continued to be as restric- tive as the Canada Temperance Act, Both the introduction of the Canada Temperance Act in these counties and its, suspension Wer• due 10 the legally expressed desire of the people of these counties for more complete restriction of liquor; and this attitude has been so pronounced and persistant that the liquor interests have not dared to challenge it by a vote on the question, preferring to carry on a sabo,age of the law and the will of the people through the instrument- ality of the Ontario government. r p by Grant Fleming, M.
