MAPS OF TEMPERATURE • Mr. Rowell to Windsor TheVemperanee debate in the Legis- lature was concluded lapt week by the following announcements by Sir James Whitney: "I will make no new •promisee for the Government. Wp will go on as we have gone, standing for local option with the three-flfths clause which gives the people when they wish it the power to 'abolish shops as well as bars. At the game time we will keep our atten- tion fixed upon what has come to be known as a power for good in the prOvince, the license law. In order words we will stand by our pledges no matter what may happen and as long as we have political life in us, strive to make less from year to year the great and almost unmanageable evils of the drink habit. In doing this we do what is right and what is known to be right, and we dismiss with lm - Patience any suggestion of what the consequences will be to us. We do not care what the consequences will be, but we have no fear what they will be." The license law to -day stood pure • and undefiled by any partizan influence and would remain so. Furthermore if any radical measure might be adopted to restrict the very obvious and deplor- able evil of the treating habit, it would come from the Government side of the House and, that, just as soon as the will of the people had made the desire for it manifest. Sir James declared that the removal of the bars and the leaving of shops would, as the amendment stated, lead to a vast increase in illicit traffic. He 'ridiculed the Opposition leader's offer to join hands with the Government, which meant that if the party with four times the strength of the other would swallow the weaker party's doc- trine it could have its support. In closing Sir James declared that the Government would stand by its posi- tion; It would stand by local option, with the three-fifths clause. They would not interfere with the Canada Temperance Act, and would continue to efficiently enforce the license laws. An attempt bad. been made by the Dominion Alliance, headed by Mr. F, S. Spence, to join the Liberal party with that Alliance. But it was going to fail. They were trying to manacle that Alliance, so to speak, to the Liberal party, and to hobble with them the temperance people, but he had the we'll -grounded confidence that the. attempt to bring the temperance question into politics will tail, Mr. Rowell said the Prime Minister did not propose to stand by his policy of Anti -treating. "We admits" said Mr. Rowell, "that his conversion to that policy was a sudden one, be' now we have good evidence to lloub' the value of eudden conversions. Why the change? Why the retreat? Some- body had to lead that retreat, so the Premier chose his Provincial Secre- tary to do that. Perhaps they though` be could do it with better .face, and now the Prime Minister follows up at the rear, making suffcient dust and smoke to allow the Anti -treating for- ces to get out oe sight. We would wipe out more shops than the Govern- ment are prepared to do, leecaties we would cut off the chr&afiftlis clams, and leave only a majority vote. The Government is linedup behind the bar.' , The liquor interests are behind this Government, and it ile'because the Government expects to be 'financed by them at the next .election." Continu- ing Mr. Rowell said: "I wish to point out that the first year club licenses were issued there were but 24, and this number has now increased to 55. The Honorable Provincial Secretary says that under the old Government there was no fee over these clubs, that' they have since imposed one, on the same basis as hotels. That fee, gentlemen, is the nominal one of $50, while the hotel fee is $1,600, plus the 5 per cent. On sales In excess of a certain sum Per day. That does 'credit to the business acumen of the Provincial Secretary, but it is not an enforce-. meat of the law. On steamers there' 55 a yearly lump sum. finewhich amounts to the same as granting licenses, while an dining cars they do noe even make any attempt at re- striction or enforcement of the law. If there have ever been any fines in this respect I have never heard of them." ' Sir James Whitney said it was ale. solutely untrue that the 'Government expected to be financed bp the liquor interests in the next election. The vete wail then taken and the "abolish -the -bar" motion of the Oppo- sition leader was defeated by 75 against and 17 for, Mr. Allan Stud- holme, the Labor member, voting with the Liberals. Canadian Professor Makes Suggestions as to Overcoming the Ice -berg Peril Professor Barnes, of McGill Uni- versity, Montreal, submitted to the Minister of Marine and Fisheries, an interim report on his investigations of methods whereby ships may be warn- ed of the nearness of ice or land. The preliceecr regards the results of his work as highly satisfactory. Profressor Barnes has now for three: years Investigated conditions in the St. Lawrence, in the Straits of 13elle Isle and alorig the Labrador coats, the Department of Marine and Fisheries supplying him with a steamer. The concluding portion of Professor Barnes' report was as follows:— "Very important results have, been obtained indicative of methods which should be developed for equipping ships for avoiding ice and land. The experiments have been so decisive and reliable that I must strongly recom- mend that attention be devoted by the Government and by steamship com- panies towards adopting accurate tem- perature recorders on board ship. "Again I must emphasize that it is to a study of the variations of tem- perature In the sea and not the tem- perature itself which will enable navi- gators safely to avoid ice and land at night or in time of fog. I would strongly recomraend the Government to equip at once a ship .to map out the isothernial lines around the coasts ' of Newfoundland, Labrador and the , shores of.'fbe Gull of St. Lawrence and Straits of Belle Isle, for in so do- ing it chart could be prepared which would,his .of great assistance to navi • gatore tieing these waters.,,. cliarte should be made as • Oyer the world, but this le a matte for international action and not for on GoYeranient, alone." 41141•••••••••••••••••••••••• • • - : TERMS • • 9 from Mar. 25th following Easter.2 alp 'merges into our Summer Term; 3 n all Departments of "Shaw's • • Schools" Toronto — Central IS Business College with four city • branch schools— The Central • Telegraph and Railroad. • School, and Shaw's Civil Ser -3 vice School.
