THE SIGNAL (:1)DLRICH: ONTARIO
(THIS MATTER SUPPLIED BY THE I.00AI. OPTION OOMMITI'EE.►,leading lawyer of the town, and told
e him I was aeaious to have his views
0o the subject. He said candidly that
he was nota teetotaler or temperance
crank, and oocart
aioally had • drink.
•Wbeu the question of prohibition
was before the township three years
previously he had opposed it because
Orillia is on the border of a greats lum-
ber district and men would frequently
come into the town with Sill or 4411
dollars, hand them to the bartender,
purchaw such articles aa they needed.
and not leave the town till the whole
was .pent. Thele were seyou hotels
and one shop license. end he feared if
prohibition because operative that
this trade wood be lost. He further
thought such legislation could not be
enforced, and much evil would b•
caused, t beerfore be voted against the
euactmcot. •1 am familiar, said be,
'with Local conditions, and have often
defended hotelkeepers who have been
clra1Ktd with breaches of the law, mud
know what 1 am talking about. 1
have watched the working of prohibi-
tion, and have found no trouble in its
enforcement. Its •ecce(.• depends
upon a proper piesentntinn of the case
to the wwgistratr. the police. and the
pnaecutiog attorney. If there condi-
tions are right. pi tin tiition i• a success.

To say that homers are driven ;way
by it is ritliculoua, and from my own
experience. though I Bret voted

This testimony was supported on
every band. One waoufactur•er wrote:
'I believe that local option in
Orelit has not been in may way
detrimental to its baseness, and it has
vastly improved its moral tone and
sobriety. I cannot call to mind a
single customer from tee adjacent
country whom we have last through
the effect of local option, and I know
of many who prefer this town to
others, as affording lees temptation to
their sone.''

closing session, the brewers' congress
received a shock for which it web not
pr'epar'ed. The usual resolutions were
being reseed. including the hollow
pretenses of reform enthusiasm, and
the secretary had jiii'st read :
"Resolved. that public drinking
places which ate the haunts of vice
are dangerous, and should he elimin-

when Henry Hamilton. a Texas
brewer, &ougght the time. Had the
presiding officer known what Mr.
tiauulton was going to say. he might
have been sidetracked„ but the Texas
gentleman is a brewer in good and
regular standing, and nobody was
looking for anything shocking from
him.
"Mr. Chairman," sail the roan from
Texas, "1 ant not a public speaker and

The owning of these places and the

interests is the thing which gives us
the black eye. The anti -liquor forces
take the fact and make capital of it,
as they justly should.
"The bope of the brewing interests
is to be found in the elevating of the
saloon.. This can not be done by
resolutions, but must be done by the
brewer severing his connection with
places of ill -repute."
Not another brewer said a word.
The members of the congress sat like
statues. No voice was luted to deny
tbe charge. After a minute of painful
silence, President Androaes put the
question and the resolution was
paned.
Mr. Hamilton's speech was not only
a shock for the brewers but will fur-
