same process would go on again that -
hall gone on in the past. The tem-
perance cause was God's cause, push-
ed on indeed by weak and erring
r„e men, but still Ox -'s cause., All our
46 institutions were outcomes of expert*
ments with whichmany blunders
132 were connected and mistakes made.
81 The idea of a boy watching a boiling
- 31 tea -kettle gradually developed into a
steam engine, a elunasy, awkward,
blundering, lumbering engine, but
fundamentally right, and it has de-
veloped into the grand machinery
that today did the world's' work.
People should consider the phases of
development. It began in a blunder
that had still the germ of •truth and
right in it. Men did not at first seek
or try to stop drinking, butt to stop
drunkenness. So in the earliest phase .
temperance societies were really
drinking societies. The error was
discovered, it was supposed, when
men hit upon the thought that only
ardent spirits should • be outlawed,
and beer, eider and wine allowable.
In lite of the error this was a step
in the right direction; Men pledged
172 theinselves not to •drift ardent.spir-
its, and that had seemed. at the
time radical movement. • Excep-
tions were made in favor of Christ-
mas, New Year's Day, Thanksgiving,
and sheep -washing days, and it was
found that some were very fond -of

washing their sheep and perforin

24 it was necessary. Reformers
covered that encouraging beer • and
whie encouraged the formation of a
habit that did not end with these.

In the presence of great public per
il, party designations- and differences
are of sectindary importanee,
The first great necessity of thi•
Situation is clean,. honest and keen
government.
• The policy of the Opposition
the legislature is familiar to the.peo-
pie and has received their endorse
-
meet and ratification by a majoritV
of six or seven thousand votes, •
•To
this record we point with pride.
•The question of •increasing the mea-
ns of obtaining agricultural instruc.
tion by adding it to. the curriculum,
in the High Schools and Collegial
Institutes- and Providing parcels of
lands for practical work, and also
the question of encouragement of
systems of sewerage in- towns and
• villages, are among the questions ad-
vocated by us. . - •
Legislation should be had to fasili
tate the acquirement by inunicipali-
• ties, on proper and reasonable terms,
of all public utilities, and also • to
provide machinery for the prompt
settlement of disputes between papa.

al and labor:
At the last Seseion of the . legisla-
ture the Opposition proposed thatethe
Temiskaming Railway, constructed
and owned by the government, should:
be operated by the province for aa,
term of years. Thisopportunity for
a' practical test of government opera-
tion of railways was voted down her
the government.
The attitude of the Opposition on
the question of the,propeo assessment -
of railway property was made clear
by their efforts to pass the Pettypie-
ce bill as a basis for aetioneffOrts
which failed when the promoter Of
the bill abandoned it and joined the
government in killing it. These ques-
tions are some of the ones in which
the people are interested.
But, I repeat, the first great ne-
cessity of the situation is elean, hon-
est and decent government.' We are
all familiar with the humiliating
story of the iniquities 'whichhave
been perpetrated and by means of
which a minority preenier has been
able and • has also been • willing
