R, Nr a ,, Perth county eouneil has again voted down a motion to snake appli- cation to the Government to appoint za district representative for that county. 5 .5 * 5 - There's ,a little village in the Nip- 'issing district, by the name of Ver- . ner, er•.ner, which we would recommend to those who are tired of living among "drys", On Monday Verner cast 254 • votes, all in the "wet" column. A * 5 * "The way to get the farnar's at- tention these times," : remarks The Mitchell Advocate, when commenting • on the absence of advertising 00 • buildings, posts, etc., "is by adve:rtis-. ing in the local "newspapers," * 5 5 * "If your neighbor does not keep -chickens it is likely Aecause he • wantsto keep his lawn clean and probably grow some garden. Don't let yours spoil his plans," is the way .the Wingltan Advance puts it, N * At At The residents of the small town of 'Melbourne have not lacked for ex- •citentent lately, One clay last week •a company of armed bandits drove in- to the town in the middle of the fore- noon and Proceeded to• rob a bank and in a' Street fight which followed •a young business man of the place was shot and killed. Three days lat- er as the townspeople : were atten- 4 ding the funeral of, the murdered young man a couple of cars bearing constables in pursuit of some whis- key strugglers clashed through the .1funerai•-cortege as it proceeded slow- ly, as such' processions are wont to do, along the road. 5 * 5 "Who will be the first slobbering :saint that will plead to save the necks of the young murderers of Russel Campbell of Melbourne?" asks Tho Exeter Advocate. There is a good deal of reason in The Ad- vvocate's djsgust at the sentimental "slobbering" over young bandits who seem to hold life so lightly. If the infliction of capital punishment is too drastic a punishment for any crime, murder being now the only capital crime, then change the law. But while capital punishment is the penalty for murder in this country those found guilty of that crime -should be allowed to suffer the full penalty, except in unusual cases, .where there are extenuating circum- stances. But where young men go out, unlawfully armed to rob and kill, and life is taken it would be -difficult to find tiny extenuating cir- cumstances. * W . +, The secretary of the provincial ' committee of the Citizens' Liberty League is credited with saying that ' ""The people of the Province realize • that prohibition has been foisted on them by the Methodist Church." That is surely doing less than justice to 'the Presbyterian Church, a member • of which, Dr. Grant, the vigorous chairman of the Referendum Com- mittee, is, and which has thousands • of staunch prohibitionists in its -ranks, to ,the Baptist Church, which • .stands foursquare for temperance re- form, and to members of all the de- -nominations who have worked to- .gether for the passing of forward temperance legislation. The Metho- • dist Church was the first to take a •-decided stand for temperance reform but the victory of prohibition senti- ment in Ontario and all over Canada and the United States' is due to the enlightened conscience of the people •of all denominations, although we presume the Methodist Church will be willing to bear its full responsi- biity. And we venture to say that in ten years time its bitterest oppon- ents will be willing to concede that prohibition is a good thing for the •country. A traffic which enriches a few while it debauches the many can not •be anything but an evil which the ,country is well rid of.

CwtR The result of the .Referendum an Moizday was not a great surprise to anybody,, the "drys" confidently ex- pecting to carry the province by a big majority and the "wets" being also prepared for defeat, although hoping for greatly reduced ntajor- fty. The vote was not as large as it should have been but as there was' no other matter at issue except the re - fond= it was generally thought that the vote would trot be so large as that Polled in a Dominion or Pro- vincial election. In the case of Clin- ton in the last provincial election only ninety - three more votes were. polled than in Monday's referendum. These votes would probably have been di- vided in about the same proportion as those polled and the result would have been much' the sante. The ballot on Monday was very simple, being a clear-cut question as to whether the voter wished the no- portation of liquor into the province forbidden and ' the answer was clear-cut and as simple. The result of the referendum th taken will be the application of t Dominion law prohibiting the in portation from any other provinc state or country.- As a result ids the provincial government will p into operation the "Sandy Bill" pr hibiting "short-circuiting" or delive within the province of liquor man faetured in the province, as the ma ufactnre is not prohibited, althoug it cannot be legally sold Within tl province for beverage purposes. The vote aby municipalities in the county on Monday was as follows; Maj. Maj. Yes. No. Yes. No. 631 270 361 1075 691 384 444 357 80 204 225 521 89 463 '136 559 62 72 108 404 436 41 169 501 124 317 343 499 182 466 92 642 203 223 101 140 95 260 25 137 149 626 80 450 113 837 170 808 123 539 4.. 528 as p.c. of the amount of the tender.
