This attitude of the temperance people is becoming, very general. „ is a prohibit= community'. The county at large is prohibition and the town in particular, As far as the, record of the voting thus far is concerned. 8 -The , attitude of the churches generally favors Local Option. and through their courts, composed of clergymen and 'laymen of every do- partment of inisieess, dornmercial and professional life, judges, lawyers,, doctors, merchants and leaders of industry, eto. Here is a deliverance of a very large and representative body,- the significance ot whose ac- tion cannot be lightly estiniated. Let me quote that deliverence. "That this body also Wishes to call atten- tion to the action of the • Annual Conferences in reference to Campaigns for the adoption of the Local ; Op- tion •law in the province el Ontario, and to say that wn are heartily in accord with that section of the re- port of the tommittee on temperance and moral reform printed in the :conference minutes of 1904, viz. ; While working lot and demanding! the most effective law 'the province can greet, We 'commend Local Option , ae being right in principle, sslready test- ed and sustained in the courts, and useful as a restriction on, the use of intoxicaats.

II NoW, we believe and are prepared to shOw that the reverse, is the case. Vint thee, under the existing dr- cumstances. Now, what are the ex- .isting eireumetiteces, for 1 grant you that we ought' to consider thorn and consider them seriously. Of Some of the existing cireumptan- COS let me mention a feta. 1 -There is an impression among a certain class of the community that something should be done to stop the traffic, in strong drink in our midst. This is A positive conviction of the majority of the people of this town who are total abstainers by practice and prohibitiOnfets by; pro- fessiont and others also, We areper- suaded, who make no Stith profession. A movement,' therefore has been -st- arted, as the result of careful and deliberate thought, to bring this matter before the puglie, not only here but we are glad to say other places also and while waiting and working for the larger measures of Prohibition, for the temperance peo- ple will never rest till they get uni- versal prohibition, tho best thing in sight Is Loa Option, about which 5 -The, "no accommodation" 'cry has no longer any areight, as the ex- perience of Toronto junction and.

SeCondly, Local Option, 'they say through their representative, will be adverse to the moral interests of the town. Now if this were true it would be a serious objection indeed, for of all people in this World tem- perance. people should be clear on %hie point: Possibly we 'have reason here to congratulate the I3oard-of Trade on the advanced groued which they take, in the matter. It is pleasing to note that as a body of commercial and enterprising men they are inter- ested in this phase of the question. And -am glad that it is not so, as 1- have heard it quoted, that the morality of the question should be left to school.' boys - and preachers.

Evidently those who lir- eulated the petition failed la istoYin the signers of the true facts of the case, which we under the neco,sity of the CaSe, must try to do. Let Me therefore make the broad statement that It has never been proved that morality antlers under Local Option.
