J. DAVIS Sucessor to A. L. HAMILTON CORNER DRUG STORE WINGHAM • ADVERTISEMENT. License and Regulation of the Liquor Business Better than the Scott Act, The members of the Huron County Business Men's Association before organizing to oppose the Scott Act in this County, considered the situation as it is at the present time, and as it is likely to be under the operation of the proposed law, if it should carry. tinder the license system, hotels and shops are licensed to sell liquors. These licenses are issued by the Goyernment. Inspectors and Commissioners are appointed by the Government whose duty is to see that only fit and proper men get lice.:ses, and that they live up to the law after they get them. These Inspectors and Commissioners are well- known and responsible men in the counties in which they live and repre- sent the Government, and are men of high character. We frankly admit that mistakes may be and are occasionally made by these Inspectors and Com- missioners, and that undesirable men are sometimes granted licenses and possibly are permitted to continue in the business far too long. Many of the men, however, who are given li tenses by these officials are good men and live up to the law; and we contend that it is not necessary to vote good men out of business to get rid of a few bad men who are in the business. That method would not be applied to any other line of busniess, and it is unjust and unfair to apply it only to the liquor business. No thinking person wou.d advocate doing away with all banking business be- cause now and then a banker cammits robbery. No sensible man would suggest getting rid of all physicians because some doctors are convicted to mal- practice No reasonable man me woman would join in a movement to prohibit all preachers from preaching,lyecause now ane then some stray from "the straight and narrow path of rectitude To do these things would be tfnreasonable and wrong, but it ie not equally so the pro- position to vote all the good men who are in the liquor beisiness out of it, in order to get rid of all the bad men who are in the business. The Inspectors and Commissioners are constantly drop- ping the undesirable license holders out at a rate that is rapidly reducing their number. Let us enumerate some of the things a law -observing hotel -keeper and shop- keeper does. He does not open in the morning un- til the law says he may, eight o'clock. He closes in the evening when the law says he must -in villages and town- ships at ten o'clock, and in towns and cities at eleven o'clock. He closes in the evening at seven o'clock on Saturdays and keeps closed until eight o'clock Monday morning. He does not sell to a boy under twenty -ane years of age. He does not sell to a known drunkard. He does not sell to an intoxicated person. These are not all the law -observing liquor dealer scrupulously does, but enough has been mentioned to indicate to any thinking mind the kind of order- ly drinking place it is possible to have, and the kind the law says we must have. Let that law, we say, be rigidly enforc- ed, for in our opinion it could not be en- forced too rigidly. It might not be inadvisable to bring pressure to bear upon these Commissioners to exer- cise every precaution in their power to avoid granting licensss to any but those who will keep strictly to the law, and if a holder of a licence breaks the law his tenure of his licence ought to be `Seriously imperilled if not forfeited. It is unnecessary to indulge in specu- lation as to what prohibition does for a community. Many places have fairly tried it and turns d from it. Other plaices are still giving it a fair trial. Tle people of this County want to know the truth about it. As an earnest of our good faith we suggest that the advocates of the Scott Act name a geatleman and this Association name one. and flint the two visit certain places agreed upon and make a quiet investigation of cone itions, the resulte of which will be published over their of the voters in this County, and thus, in some degree at least assist them in making up their minds as to how they should cast .old their votes. This Aosoeiation offers to pay one half of the expenses incurred by the ge :itlenlen in making this investigation desiring above all to ascertain the actual tri.th in regard to this question.
