THE REFERENDUM RESOLUTION
For 'five hours on Wednesday, the
members of the Ontario 'Lecialattire
engaged in a "free-for-all" on the
McCreary -resolution asking the Do-
minion Government to take a refer-
endum on .,the prohibition of liquor
importation. When the House ad-
journed late at night, two amendnients
were in the Speaker's hands, but a
envision seemed far away. The first
day of the debate showed the balance
of sentiment in favor of the resolu-
tion, but 'while the Government has
reason for believing that the resolu-
tion will carry it was evident that the
opposition to the proposal will be ex-
tensive /enough to jeopardize the sue, -
cess of the referendum when it is sub-
mitted to the people.. The division in
the temperance forces was strongly
reflected in the -debate the 'House,
and with. one or two e ceptionss the
opposition to the resoflition as it
• stand's was based upon, the probability
that the Federal Act under which a
referendum would be held does not
apply to Ontario and that any at-
tempt to apply it would be upset in
the courts.
This view found expression in the
Liberal amendment introduced by R.
L. Brackin, of West Kent, which was
seconded by Karl Homuth, the South
Waterloo Labor member. The a-
mendment is not a bar to a referen-
dinn, but demands that before the
referendum is submitted, the Imo-
vince submit stated ease to the
courts to secure a decision- upon
whether Ontario comes within the
scope of the Federal Act or not. If
the courts hold that Ontario, despite
ita permitted sale of native wiue, is
a "prohibition" province, , then—un-
der the amendment—the Lieutenant
Governor -in -Council is authorized to
ask for a referendum.
The position of most of the Con-
servative members is summed up ,n
the amendment moved just,before ad-
jourrnent by Hamnett P. Hill, of West
Ottawa, and seconded by Rev. C. H.
Buckland, of South Wellington, de-
claring:
"This House recognizes Ministerial
responsibility as the bulwark of Brit-
ish institutions and declares its ad-
herence to the principle of re-
sponsible Government and in ac-
cordance therewith believes that the
Government should assume full re-
sponsibility for action within the
limits of provincial jurisdiction." -
The Liberal amendment read as
follows:
"Inasmuch as legal authorities are
divided in opinion ,as'to whether the
Province of Ontario comes under
the provisions of section 152, part
4 of chapter 8, 10, George Fifth,
amending the Canada Temperance
Act, and it is important that the
legal position of the Province of
Ontario should be made clear be --
fore incurring the expense of a
costly and possibly abortive refer-
endum: This House is therefore
of the opinion. .that a stated case
should be submitted by the Govern-
ment to the Appellate Division of
the Supreme Court of Ontario, so
that the powers of the Province of
Ontario under the said section may
be definitely ascertained, and that
in the event of the decision of the
courts of Canada being to the effect
that the said section does apply to
the Province of Ontario, the .Lieuten-
ant-Gavernor in Council is authorized
to forward the request of this legisla-
ture that the vote of the electors of
the electoral districts of the Province
may be taken for or against the fol-
lowing prohibition, that is to say
"That the importation and the bring-
ing of intoxicating liquor into such
Province may be forbidden."
Mr. Brackin declared. with em-
phasis that there could be no fair
argument that a stated case would
mean a lengthy delay. If the At-
torney -General desired to, he could
use his influence to have that stated
case taken. up -without delay.
which started to lay in October, at
five and a half months. They t have
kept up a record since Japuary yich
is considerably better than the Ottawa
laying contest. During Janliary,
February and March they laid 503
eggs .or an average of better than
5% eggs per day. In the first six
days in April they laid forty-offe
eggs, or almost seven per day.

properties is the sale of Simon Grant's
home and large lot, James street, to

ster whose former ,home was in Hul-
lett township. Walter Lowery has

formerly owned by the late Walter
Jackson. R. J. McLauchlin disposed

lion, John D., has been purchased by

Grey, from D. Grahiun, Parkhill,

-This-, type .of . horse is in great favor
to -day and commands good -prices.
Mr. Taylor's enterprise is to be
commended in bringing John D. to the
community.. He sold his draft horse
of last year, the animal being shipped
to the West this spring. _
—Representative of Lambton and
Huron County Councils met at the
Middlesex County building Tuesday of
last week and opened tenders for con-
struction of a new -bridge over the

tract for steel superstructure was
awarded te the Canadian Bridge
Building Co., of Walkerville at
$16,849. Engineer James A. Bell, of
St. Thomas will supervise the work,
which is to commence soon. A re-
cent court decision handed down at
Sarnia requires the two counties to
share the cost equally.
—Mr. J. A. Morton, who for a
number of years has held the posi-
tion of police magistrate at Wirigham,
has sent in his resignation. Mr. Mor-
ton has practised there for many years
as a lawyer going to Wingham •when
a young man. He is now in his
seventies and feels that he cannot
carry on his law business and the
other business as well, hence'his
resignation. His successor has not
yet been determined.
—"Maitland Brae," the home of
Mr. and Mrs. T. Gibson, Wroxeter,
was the scene of a pretty -event at
noon Wednesday, when their eldest
daughter, Margaret Moffatt, was unit-
ed in marriage to Archibald Wells,
B. A., Toronto, formerly of Blyth. The
ceremony was performed by Rev. C.
Malcolm in the presence of fifty
guests. The bride wore a becoming
gown of white satin. The groqm's
gift to her was an onyz ring and to
Miss Mary Gibson, who played the
wedding march a sardonyx ring, After
a dainty lunch Mr. and Mrs. - Wells
left for their future home in Toronto.
—The Goderich Star of last week
says:—One day recently, Sheriff
Reynolds who has won fame as a
pedestrian while in Seaforth on a
visit, decided to walk to Clinton and
not wait for the evening train. He
had nearly reached the "hub." when
the train pulled past him and then
waited nearly an hour for the pruce
train. The Sheriff says he could
easily have come to Goderich ahead
of the train, and Joe Kidd, his
whilome partner in long tracks, says
that would not be much of a trick to
beat a G. - T. R. train; but then, Joer
as C. P. R. agent, must be prejudiced.
—On Monday evening of last week
an organization meeting was held and
the Clinton Baseball Team organized

it is proposed will be an -annual affair.

urday morning of last week after a
few days' illness following a stroke.
She was eighty-four years of age and

Kippen, visited friends here the first
part of this week and when taking
the train home on Tuesday morning
had a very narrow escape from instant
death. When crossing the street or
rather /the railway track, at the
crossing', on Main street the pilot of
the engine catching her skirt and had
it not been for the very prompt ac-
tion of the engineer in applying the
emergency brake, nothing could hive
saved her. Mrs. McKenzie has -reason
to congratulate herself on her very
fortunate escape as she misjudged
the speed of the • approaching train

the celebrated cartoonist and teiter-
tainer, gave an/entertainment here on
Monday evening last under the aus-
pices of the Great War Veteran As-
sociation on which occasion there was
a very good attendance, and Mr.
Bengough well sustains his reputation
as an artist with the pencil and
brush that cannot well be excelled,
while as an entertainer he certainly
well pleased his audience and proved
himself an adept, and his character
drawings or sketches of our towns-
men, Mr, D. A. Cantelon, as coal
merchant, Mr. C. A. McDonell, as the
live representative of ethe Chevrolet
car, and mine host, Mr. Weir Ache-
son, of the Commercial Hotel, were
splendid and were quickly recognized
by the audience even before quite
completed. His drawing also of a
typical Englishman, Irishman and
Scotchman were ideal and showed the
wonderful ability of Mr. Bengough as
a cartoonist, This is the second or
third time that he has visited our
village and he always enjoys coming
here. Mr. Fred Bengough and Miss
Bengough, of this village, are first
cousins of the celebrated artist—We
regret this week to have to report
that Mr. Robert J. Patterson, flour
and feed merchant, was suddenly at-
tacked by appendicitis on Sunday af-
ternoon last and on Monday afteanoon
his ease proved so serious that hes
had to be rushed by auto to St.
Joseph's Hospital, London, where an
operation was performed that evIn-
ing. At date of writing Mr. Pater-

pected and his many relatives and
friends hope for a speedy recovery.
