According tothe decision of the Privy Council the two Acts cannot be forced in the same place at the same time. In the event of the Scott Act being carried -in a comity in which several nuinicl- palities are already under local ap- tion, the latter would be supersed- ed by the former, 11, however, the . Canada Temperance Act should be repealed after three years, alt the • municipalities in that county that were under local option when the other Act went into effect would still bewithotut bars and lute or stores, When -the two Ads are compared the advantages at first seen/ to lie 'with - the Scott Act, but amore careful investigation shows that some- of its liupposed advantages are of doubtful value. There is this primary difference between the two:local option musk be submitted in each separate municipality, whereas the Scott Act must be sub- mitted' in a whole county .or dis- trict. 21 would seem that the larger the area of "dry" terriftory the more easily and effectively the law evould be enforced. It should not the forgotten, however, that 'a city exempt even when the county in which itis-situatedcarries the Scott Act, and a "dry" county with a "wet" city at the °centre of it would have its own troubles. Itis generally supposed that es sixty (pee cent of!the total vote in a local option contest must be in favor of the by-law 'before it can go into effect it would be easier to introduce -the Scott Act, which, can he carried 'by a simple majority, But the difficulty in carrying the latter might he greater than it is supposed to be. In the case of a local option election only "those whose names are un part I. and II, of the voters' list can cast ballots,. whereas in the other case manhood franchise obtains. This excludes women voters, 'who are generally lined up in the cause of temperance. The question of the enforcement of a prohibitory liquor law is al- ways a crucial one. It is well known that /the reason why the Scott Act was repealed in so many counties in the Province about was tthirtythirtythat it was years ago not enforced, It may be admitted that the rust has 1•'en easels- im- proved In i•eceet years, n,,cl it is also true that ilte icon. _Mr. Hanna has given the promise to two or three organizations that be wilt enforce any law the electors may adopt for controlling tend r•e- stiicting the liquor traffic. But it would l -e well for t criers to study carei'ul1V the difference between the two measures and the provi- sion matte for the enforcement of c'aelr. There is this difference between the two : local og tion ii a part( sec- tion 111) of the License Aet of the Province. and because of this the same maehinery which can be call- ed. into requisition to enforce the license of the Act can be employed. to give effect to the section men- ,tioned above. But it is not so under Scott Act. A constable may pro- secute if he feels so inclined, but he cannot be compelled to do so, and neither can the be penalized; unless under the criminal code, should he neglect. Again, 'under. local option the Municipal Council may appoint a special officer to enforce the -law, but no such powers are granted under the Scott Act. Time electors should therefore carefully study the two Acts before committing themselves to a campaign in favor of the Canada Temperance Act, Progress'under the other may not be sora id, but there appears to ppof losingthe ground be less danger which is once gained.
