The Scott itt is( a Dominion statute about 36 years old, a piece of heavy ar- tillery of which the temperance men have not made mulch use in rfecent years. It covers' a much. larger area in a single vote, than the Ontario local option law and the result is that towns which op - poste it may be made "dry" by the vote of rural parts of the county. Thus Welland carries the by-law, although towns Thoroldand 1 1 g the o n of Wlelland are strongly against it, Theme are advantages' and draw - backs for the temperance man, in this. A 'town which is made dry against its will becomes a citadel of .discontent, and the centre of a ni,o'tement for repeal. , The Globe-S.estterielay in :Huron Peel and Welland a popular vote was taken on the question whether the "Canada Temperance Act," ," beiSter known asthe"Scott' Act," should he adopted in these coun- � Hes, The effect tof rite enforce- ment wherever it is adopted is to pnet8ent absolute- ly the sale of "intoxicating ,liq- uors" for beverage purposes, and to abolish all hotiel and club ltcen- See within the county, only drug- gisit,s.specially licensed for ,that purpose, being permitted to eel! alcoholic liquors for medicinal or scientific purposes, and that only on a 'doctoi snescrf tion or a Magistrate'scertificn.te, respect- ively. The result (.ofyesterday's sting was the voting adoption of the Act it all theee counties; in '.itur- on by 'a surprisingly large major i(ty, in- Peel by a majority Very rnuch`liess' in proportion, and in Welland -by a very small one. As rtil:,eue is no , three-fifths handicap to overcome the effect is to cut 011 all the yeutaining retail licenses and rn shut tip all ilea -feed so- cial drinking ie,orts. The obvious inference from yesterday's vot- ing is that in nearly all the coun- ties of Ontario the Scott Act might be carried if submitted, for Huron fetter Pav the Price Don't be tempted to choose cheap Jewelry, Far better to pay, a fair price and know exactly what you are getting.
