'Contri- tion that only- comes for the sake of avoiding punishment is a long way removed form genuine repent ince and is short weight in effect- ing the much desired cessation of hostilities, The Kaiser will have to take some of his own medicine even if he gags over it. , With all the acumen of equine experts it seems a number of out- of-date nags• were passed on in the military supplies. With bogus boots, spavined horses, balloon priced drugs, etc. etc., it would appear there is large room for sow ing the seed of integrity and com- mon honesty. It is sometimes said "Every man has his price." We do not believe the statement to be true, but judging by the evi- dence at hand there does not ap-, pear to be much shortage of tete "$0 cent" variety who areevident- ly strangers to the principles of manliness. The worst feature of thewhole crooked business is that men, high in "authority, back up the rascality by blocking enquiry and "whitewashing" the culprits Instead of the intriguers being a- bashed by the investigations they appear to think they are heroes and entitled to an iron cross. A strong steel chain with a ball at the end of it would be a more ap- propriate t dornment to some of them.

There is not a municipality in the county where the sale ennnot he store) ed if the constables and,: officials so decide, and if our temperance friends do not demand this of their officers, then they are not entirely free from some responsibility: Do you know of some violation? Then give that information to some one in whom you have confidence and let it be reported to the proper official We believe in abusing our inspectors less and using them more. During the last few weeks evidence of violations have been sent to the inspectors by local workers and over one thousand dollars have been col. lected in fines. It is regrettable that most of the fines have been collected from the men who are running our hotels, a business in itself as honest as any other, when dissociated with strong drink, and these men ought to be told in no uncertain sound that a jail sentence awaits them if they persist in law breskiug. As we are passing under the Can- ada Temperance Act on ,clay 1st it should be generally understood that the magistrates have the power to send a person who sells or attempts to sell liquor without a license, to jail for one month on a first offence if he so decides. The fine for selling in a no license district for a first offense now runs from $3)0 to $509 and no doubt our magistrates will try to keep up with the spirit of the Ontario law by in creasing the minimum U. T. A. fine accordingly. We hope that it shall not be neves eery for any one to be Hued as neith- er the municipality nor the province are anxious to get revenue in that way hut if men will insist on' being anarchists then they must take the consequences and the sooner such men ere behind the bars the Netter for the community. Our principal object in writing this circular is to appeal to our hotel keepers to cut out the illegal traffic and we have reason to believe that some -of them have already done so, and have made their hotels comfort able homes for the travelling public; and also to say to the officials through out the county it is your business to see that laws are administered; to make it easy for men to do right and hard for them to do wrong. To the members of the local and moral reform leagues, we say it is your business to see that your in. structions are carried out.
