PIONEERS HAD A HARD ROW TO HOE' WHEN JOHN BARLEYCORN WAS IN I•IIS GLORY Tt ise interesting to recount the various steps in 'he progress of pro- hibition throughout Canada, since the inception nearly a hundred years ago, in the scattered settlements of the young colony, of the movements against intemperance in the use of intoxicating Odeon In Canada, as elsewhere, it has developed from a personal idea to a social one; from advocacy of abstinence by the indi- vidual to that of state prohibition. The Start Organized temperance reform in 'Canada began early in the 19th ter.- tuty. Starting with a few individu- als, it was not long before these hacl banded together and a "Band of ]lope," "Blue Ribbon Club" or a temperance lodge was to be found in almost every village. These tem- perance lodges later on took more definite forum as fraternal benefit or- ganizations, and,- following up the interest created by pledge -signing .crusade, aclvocated total prohibition as well as t tai abstinence. Taken up by Women and Churches The churches, through the Young People's Societies, were swung into line and finally superseded the tem- perance societies. In 1874 the' Wo- men's Christian Temperance Union was organized in Canada, and with the fraternal societies stood for leg- islative action as' well as moral sua- sion. The W. C. T. U., realizing that without the ballot' wommel could not effectively combat the liquor traffic, pioneered the movement that, liccorcf' ing to prohibition leaders, led tre the enfranchisement ofwomen in this Dominion, Milestones of Progress One of the earliest antt-liquor laws in Canada was' enacted in New Brunswick in 1855. This prohibited the importation, ntanufiacture, and sale of intoxicating beverages. This law, because of political complica- tions, was repealed within a year. 1864 ---Dunkin Act, 1'1ie' next stage was the passing of the Dunkin Act in 1864. This Act gave to counties, cit- ies, towns, townships and villages of Ontario and Quebec authority to prohibit the retail sate of liquor within their respective limits. 1875 -Dominion Royal Commission. 1846-.Poinnation of Dominion Al- liance. Crooks Act (The Ontario' Li- ceuse Act.) 1875 -Canadian Temperance Act (the Scott Act.) ' Local Option' When Nova Scotia and NOW Bruns- wick Were federated with Upper and Lower Canada in 1867, there atose uncertainty as to the relative extent of Dominion and Provincial power. in enactment of prohibitory Teisla - tion. The Federal Parliament de- layed .action until 1878 when the Canada Temperance Act -a Domin- ion Iocal option law -was passed. This Act, while not strictly in ac -eordance with the' views oil prohi- bitionis's, was an improvement -in Mahe/ particulars an the Dunkin Act, The Canada Temperance Act, hop- thirty known aa the Scott Act, enr ,ablecl the electors ip a county, city, ote, to prohibit, by "vote, the sale of intoxicating liquors within their hour- daries, except for medicinal, sacra- , mental' or industrial 'purposes. The meaatu'e was adopted in New Bruns- wick. Nova Scotia and Prince Ed word Island. Ili Ontario anc1 clue bei., the Act was not a success, and by 1889 it had been repealed in every one of the 25 counties and 8 cities in' Ontario that had adopted Id The, eohlrse in Quebec was almost similar, Plel,iscitee ,• .., 1802 -Royal Commission. eppointel.

Quebec Nullifies Dominion Vote ,In 1898 the Federal' Government' decided to ,test public opinion on the question of prohibition by a plebis- cite. This resulted in a majority in favor of prohibition -in ei;'ht of the nine provinces. Quebec alone gave a majority of 94,324 against prohi- bition, compared with a total major• ity of 108,011 in favor of prohibi- tion cast by the remaining provinces. The Government declared that the results slid not justify the introduc- tion of a prohibitory measure, and threw the burden back upon the pro- vinces, to go as far as they could constitutionally. , • 1900 -Prince Eilward. Island adopts prohibition:- Drastic Law Passed; Never Enforced In 1900 the Manitoba Legislature passed a drastic measure prohibiting all liquor transactions originating and'ending within the province, This law was never put in force, how- ever, a new government disclaiming any responsibility for the Act, and holding a referendum in 1902 on the question of its enforcement`. As a -result of this election, the Act was repealed by- a majority of 6,857. In 1902 the _Ontario Government introduced au, Act similar, to the Manitoba Prohibition Act. A refer- endum vote rejected the Act, • the favoring •majority of 96,021 failing short of the 212,723 required. Local Option Revived Interest in the prohibition move- ment revived in Ontario and Quebec and by the year 1916 there were 672 municipalities in Ontario under locul option, adopted, in many .instances, notwithstanding the three-fifths ma- jority later 021 demanded by time On- tario Government. Quebec had 1007 municipalities out of 1,187 under 'no license' in 1917. 1910 -The Nova Scotia Legislature passes prohibition. for province ev- sept Halifax. 1915 -Saskatchewan passes partial Prohibition, establishing dispensaries.

In 1917 the new provincial law went into operatioe in New Bruns- wick and theelectors , to 1920, voted in favor of the retention of the law and voted against the sale of beer and light wines. In 1916 the Ohtario Temperance Act was carried by 'unanimous vote of the members o! the Legislature, and went into effect the same veer. The electors of Ontario iu 13)19 vot- ed on the continuation of the Act and amtStained it by a majority of 407, 789.

Many cases were discussed, and the details and needs of some of these were a surprise to those not familear with the calls for attention.
