BIG DEMAND FOR
STRAWBERRIES.
The strawberry season is over
and the cropwas not up to .the
expectation owing partly to the
dry Weather. It was expectecf that
there would be an abundant sup-
plywith prices fairly low and
manY waited for the drop in price
but were disappointed at last and
were unable to get an ample sup-
ply. Strawberries were p'cked un
very fast after being marketed.

A.T.C., Clinton.— Does section
141 of the Liquor License Act ap-
ply to a county 'where the Canada
Temperance Act is in force?
Ans.—Section 141 of the Liquor
License Act was amended in 1911,
and again in 1915, The amend-
ments are patchwork and do not
harmonize with the original pur-
pose and plan of the Act. 130108e
the amendments, the section in
question made it a punishable of-
fence to he found in an intoxica-
ted condition in any public place,
"Where a local option by-law was
in force.''' The ;amendment of 1514
expanded tkis to include all places
"in which no tavern or shop li-
cense i,s issued!• It is clear that
this amendment bus nothing to do
with the Local Option by -Law.
All municipalities have power to
pass by-laws for the punishment
of drunkenness, if they wish to do
so. This amendment was there-
fore unnecessary'. Wherever such
by-huw is in 'ioc•c0' Any person
'found in an intoxicated condition
in any public place can be ar-
rested. .Phis being so, 'why should
another Act have been passed? 1t
is in effect forcing a criminal law
upon certain sections of the com-
munity where the people may not
desire such a lane, It may be
argued that the Legislature, hav-
ing by the Municipal Act con-
ferred power upon the municipali-
ties to pass .by -Lanus dor the pre-
vention and punishment of drunk-
enness, etc., has thereby divested
itself of the power to legislate on
this subject. 1't is not at all clear
that a Legislature may not divest
itself of Legislative authority by
delegating it. The question is,—
Can a sovereign authority con-;
tinue to exercise legislation over
a ,subject which it has, delegated
to another?? -Hodge v, The Queen
