COMD1UNICATIONS, The admission of a c.onuuunleation In these columns dues not imply that wo endorse the sentiments of the wriltor.-I1ditor Advance, To the Editor of Advance ; In a couple of local papers i see I am reported in connection with the recent convention at Winglralu as speaking "in favor of taking what had been given and working to make it a success." A very wrong impres- sion seems to have been drawn from the first clause. Allow mo to state clearly my position on the subject. No one looks with less favor upon the con- ditions of the referendum, or even the act itself than 1 do. I consider it un- fair and I do not suppose for a moment that if the Government had thought it was possible for the Prohibition Party to gaintheir ends by this means that it would have been offered. I look upon it as a carefully coi:cocted scheme, whereby the favor of the liquor party is courted, and at the same time the unsuspicious temperance man is led to believe that he is receiving what lie asked: In other words it is an attempt to secure the support of both parties by snaking each believe they are be- ing served. It is this unfair nature of the referendum, together with other considerations that gave rise to the resolution to repudiate it entirely and Make no effort whatever towards carrying it out. It was this position and some other posi- tions which were difficult to locate, that called forth my few remarks, which may bo summed up in this— that nowithstauciing the apparent un - surmountable difficulty that is placed before us, and the injustice and total lack of fair play counected with the proposed referendum, yet I cannot see hots whole -hearted prohibitionists, and whole -hearted Ohristians can sit calmly clown and make no effort what- ever to perform even the impossible. I did not wish to be understood as re- ceiving the present conditions favora- bly, for I do not; nor do I look upon the Bill itself as much better than the con- ditions of the referendum ; yet I said, and do say—that here is another op- portunity for prohibitionsts`to make their power felt. They have made it felt before ; let thein do so again, and show the onlooking world what the accumulated forces of Prohibition have now come to be. I am surprised at men of age and experience lamenting and complaining of the lack of fair play. "If we only had fair play" they say. But we won't have fair play. Pray who ever heard of fair play in such a struggle? Just as soon as any Government is prepared to give fair play in such a fight, they will assume the responsibility of the law without a fight at all. Never in the history of the world have the forces of light had fair play when fighting against the forces of darkness. Every movement that has accomplished great reforms has fought against great odds. Savon- arola, Luther, Knox, Wesley and such like men did not sit down and wait till they could get "fair play," but un- daunted and unmoved they struggled to the end, and with the recuperative powers characteristic of great men they turned present defeats into final victories and apparent evil auto good. This is the spirit 1 should like to see in any reform of the present day—"Heart within and God o'er head," and ''If we fail we fail, but screw your courage to the sticking point and we'll not fail." "There is a tide in the affairs of men" ; we perceive it now before us. To hesi- tate is to couseot to our own slavery. Christ expects every man to do his duty. "Quit you like men and be strong." G.
