The Supreme Court Decision on
the Scott Act
The Supreme Court of Canada, in
a decision handed down by Sir Lyman
P. Duff, Chief Justice on Friday last,
has ruled that Huron, Perth and Peel
Counties are still under the prohibi-
tory provisions of the Canada Tem-
perance Act, more familiarly known
as the Scott Act.
In effect the Supreme Court held
the present Ontario Liquor Control
Act is.a less restrictive act as to the
sale and consumption of liquor than
the Scott Act and that the latter
statute is now in force in these three
counties, and will remain in force un-
- til they vote themselves out.
The Scott Act was passed in Huron
in 1913 and went into effect in Aug-
ust of the following year. By its
provisions the sale of lisuor, but not
its importation or consumption, was
prohibited and all bars and liquor
stores were closed,
In 1919 when the Province of On-
tario adopted prohibition, the Fed-
eral Scott Act law was suspended,
but when the Amendments to the On-
tario Control Act were made last
year, legalizing licenses for the sale
of beer and wine, it was believed by
the Ontario Government that Huron
would still be under provincial con-
trol, and fourteen. licenses were
granted in the county..
The dry forces, however, contend-
ed otherwise and petitioned the Do-
minion Government to declare the
Scott Act still in force. To clear the
situation the Government placed the
matter before the Supreme Court.
Asa result of the court decision,
the Ontario Liquor Control Board
will be unable to grant any further
licenses for beer and wine, or open
liquor stores, and the present licenses
'will be cancelled.
Just when these cancellations will
be made it is, at the present time,
impossible. to say, but as they do not
expire until the end of October next,
it is quite possible the privilege to
sell will be extended to that date. If
the Ontario Government appeals the
decision to the Privy Council, as is
said to be their present' intention,
there is a possibility the beverage
rooms in Huron will not be closed un-
til a final decision is made.
The situation is a very complicat-
ed one. It is maintained by some leg-
al authorities that the Canada Tem-
perance Act is iri itself illegal, be-
cause of the fact that by the provi-
sions of the British North America
Act, the Provinces are given the ex-
clusive control of the sale of liquor.
Then there is the situation of
Stratford.. Perth County is under
the Federal Scott Act, while Strat-
ford, the couhty town, is under the
Ontario Act. Under the provisions
of the latter, Stratford has a liquor
store and beer warehouse.
The citizens of that city may buy
at these places, but the liquor must
be consumed no where but in their
homes. As the Scott Act does not
prohibit the importation or consump-
tion of liquor, any resident of Perth
or Huron may also purchase supplies
in Stratford, but, having crossed the
city boundaries, they may Legally
drink their liquor 'on the trains, in
their cars, on the side of the road, or
''snake any dispositions of it they
please,.provided they do not sell.
Under the circul'I'nstances, it is not
hard to visualize the reason why the
Ontario Government has under ad-
;visement an appeal to the Privy
Council.
One Bp One
. One by one the Provinces of the
Dominion are going Liberal. Mani-
toba, British. Columbia, Nova Scotia,
Saskatchewan, Ontario and now New
niek
he general elections in the lat-
ter ']rovince on hursda of last
weethe Conserv tive Premier L. P.
D. i11ey and every member of his.
Cab net, seven in number, met defeat
while the Liberal opposition of four-
teen members at dissolution, was in-
creased to a Government force of
forty-three Liberals.
What is the reason? Well, there
are many assigned and perhaps the
one with the most truth is that times
of depression are always fatal to the
powers that be. But even that can
scarcely apply to the Provinces of
Saskatchewan and Ontario, whose
elections were held just a year ago.
In one of those two instances, On-
tario, a Conservative government
had been in power for many years.
During its long term of office it had
grown careless and extravagant, if
not worse. It is true that the depres-
,ion had made thepeople of Ontario
more mindful of their pennies and
how they were spent, but it was the
wasteful extravagance culminating
in over -burdening taxes that turned
the scales and not the depression.
In Saskatchewan i the case . was
somewhat similar, although the Con-
servative Government had only held
office for one term. But during that
one term lavish ,expenditures and
corruption likewise increased taxa-
tion to such an extent that the peo-
ple rebelled.
In Nova Scotia, and recently in
New Brunswick, the issues were' less
clearly defined and the depression,
which has a way of making electors
- unsettled, unduly critical and dissat-
isfied, may have had something to
do with the turnover in Govern-
ments. But not all.
Why is it that the people of the
Provinces across Canada are dis-
carding the policy of the Conserva-
tive party and turning to that of the
Liberals? Why not the C.C.F., the
U.F.O.'s or A.'s, or any other of the
independent clicks with which Cana-
dian politics are so abundantly bless-
ed—or cursed? Why is the two par-
ty system of government—Grits and
Tories—corning back with increasing
favor among the people ? ,
Asidefrom the fact that the two
Darty system is the best, the simplest
and the most easily workable, what
other reasons have made the people
discard the frills and fads and re-
turn to it? And why is their choice
falling upon the Liberal party?
Has the matter of tariffs anything
to do with that choice, or has it ev-
erything? Of .course tariffs do not
enter into Provincial politics, but a
Co.nservative'is a high tariff and pro-
tection man wherever he is found,
and so is a Conservative government.
It is the Conservative policy.
On the other hand the Liberal
party stands for free trade, or tar-
iffs for revenue only, and there is an
inseparable difference between the
two. Has the plain living and deep•
thinking induced by the depression
and the experience of the people un-
der Conservative rule forced them to
see this difference?
From a country viewpoint, it un-
doubtedly has. During the past fiye
years, under Conservative rule at
Ottawa, tariffs have been higher than
at any other time in the history of
the country. Those tariffs may have
brought prosperity in their train to
some people, but there was not a
farmer among the fortunate. For
the farmer, high tariffs have not
only shut him out from all markets,
but they have forced him to pay two
prices for everything he has to use
in his work and for every living ne-
cessity he has to buy.
The farmer can not live off the
land alone, and because of high tar-
iffs, agriculture has been undergoing
the hardest times it has experienced
in some generations. And when it
comes down to basic truth, the fact
stands out that when there is no pros-
perity on the land, there can be no
prosperity anywhere else in Canada.
The seed of that truth has germ-
inated in the minds of the people on
the farm and in the country. They
want 4 party that will ensure a mea-
sure of prosperity to all, instead of
one that will bring wealth to a few,
and poverty to the rest.
That, we believe, is the real reason,
rather than the depression, why the
people in the Provinces are, one by
one, choosing a Liberal form of gov-
ernment and that is the reason, too,
why we abelieve thatout of the Liberal
party will come the next Government
at Ottawa.

CHANGES IN " t3SSJA
(The Times)
Until quite lately the Soviet policy
towards the peasants: was as that of
a man who would reverse St. Paul's
and balance it upon its dime. The
leaders attempted to 'keep 150,000,000
peasants in subjection to 10,000,000
town dwellers. Such a .policy was
implied; in the ideal of the Dictator-
ship of the Proletariat, under which
the 'peasants, in Lenin's words, would
be semi -proletarians, or • (as Preo-
brazhensy more robustly put it)
would be a colony for the Socialist
State to exploit. The attempt to
put the policy into practice brought
terrible tragedy upon the ,peasants
and a great scarcity of food in the
borons; yet it was ruthlessly con-
tinued for fifteen years as being in-
herent in Bolshevist doctrine. Stalin
himself made the attempt most ruth-
lessly of all during his campaign for
the coltsictivization of Hand; and
therefore it is net surprising that
now, when he seems anxious to re-
dress the balance and allow the
.peasants greater freedom both in
trading and voting, he should meet
with criticism from the orthpdoX
Communists.
Stalin's chief asset is a grim sense
of realities. He is true to the name
which Lenin gave him, the Man of
Steel, and his decrees are influenced
neither by theory nor by any spark
of humanity. His mind reacts to the
reeds of the time as they appear to
him. One month_ he orders a vigor-
ous campaign for collectivization;
another month he sharply criticizes
the officers who are putting his order
into force. From the time he as-
sumed power, and especially during
the first Five -Year Plan, ib was clear
that the 'last shreds of 'Orthodox
Communism were being eweppt away.
Unequal wages, piece -rates, permits
for private trading, the establish-
ment for privileged • classes, were all
startling departures from the ap-
proved pattern. Yet the greatest and
most unexpected departure of '-all
has been the latest, snaking the
peasants equal in status to the pro-
letarians and improving their stan-
dard' of living. Lenin said (in "The
April Theses") that well-to-do
peasants would always incline to
petite bourgeoisie. Trotsik-y an d
Kamesiey echoed his words in 1926.
Stalin now flatly says that the
peasants must be well-to-do. The
policy is a complete reversal of all
political ideas held by the Commun-
ists of the towns, who have instinc-
tively distrusted the shapeless mass
of the peasantry and found safety
by hiding their heads in the Dictator-
ship .of the Proletariat. To foreign
onlookers it seems probable that Stal-
in's 'view, 'belated though it is, will
be justified; and it certaindy raises
again the question—where is Russia
heading? At present all that can be
said is that there is a rigorous dic-
tatorship and a form of State capita-
lism—and that the disbanding of the
old Bolshevists is a further indication
that the final, answer is not. to be
found in the pages of Karl Marx or
of Lenin.

S. S. LESSON FOR JULY 7; 1935
The third quarter deals with repre-
senta'tive men and women of the Bible.
The aim of these lessons is that
through a study of the lives of some
men and women of the Bible we may
discover the source of their spiritual
power, and so share their experiences,
and receive guidance for our own liv-
ing.
Lesson Topic — Moses (Leader and
Lawgiver.
Lesson Passage—Exodus 24:3-8, 12-8.
Golden Text—Psalm 33:12a.
The two first verses of this chapter
are the appointment of a second ses-
sion upon Mount Sinai, for the mak-
ing of laws, an end having been put
tt the first session. Moses is di-
rected to bring Aaron and his sons,
and the seventy elders of Israel, that
they might be witnesses of the glory
of God,, and that their testimony
might confirm the • people's faith. In
the following verses, we have the
solemn covenant made between God
and Israel, and a very solemn trans:-
action
rans;action it was, typifying the covenant
of grace between God and believers,
through Christ.
Moses did not lead them blindfold-
ed into the Covenant—"Moses told the
people all the words of the Lord, and
all the judgments." He fairly, put it
to them whether they were willing to
submit to these laws or not.
The people unanintously consented
to• the terms proposed—"All the words
which the Lard hath said will we do."
That there might be a permanence
to this transaction on the part of the
people, Moses wrote the words of the
Lord. As soon as ever Gohhad sep-
arated to himself a peculiar people in
the world, He governed them by a
written word, as He has done ever
since, and will do while the world
lasts.
(Moses having written the articles
of agreement •between God and Israel
read them in the audience of the peo-
ple, that they might be sure that
their second thoughts were the same
as their first upon 'the whole matter.
Not only was their reply the same as
at first, but there was an addition to
their words: "All that the Lordhath
said we will do, and be obedient."
Bravely resolved! --+if they had but
stuck to their resolution.
Their promised restrlution was seal-
ed by the blood of the covenant. Pros-
es build,ed an altar"' and twelve pil-
lars, according to the number of the
tribes. Possibly each tribe set up
and knew its own pillar, and their
elders stood by it. Moses appointed
sacrifices to be offered upon the al-
tar, burnt offerings and peace offer-
ings.
The covenant must be made by
sacrifice (Psalm 50:5), because, since
man has sinned, and forfeited his
Creator's favor, there can be no fel-
lowship by covenant until there be
first friendship and atonement by sac-
rifice. Thus our Lord Jesus, t h e
Meniator of the new covenant (of
whom Moses was a type), having of-
:rered up Himself a sacrifice upon the
cross, that His blood might be in-
deed the blood of the covenant,
sprinkled it uppn the altar in His in-
tercession, and sprinkles ft upon His
church by His word and ordinances,
4:,. o
1
and the influences .and operations of
the Spirit by whom we are sealed.
The public ceremony of sealing the
covenant being over, Moses is called
up to receive further instructions—
"And I will give thee tables of stone,
rnd a law, and commandments 'which
I have written; that thou mayest
teach them."
Having received these orders he ap-
rointed Aaron and Hur to be as lords
justice in his absence, to keep the
peace and good order in the congre-
gation.
hoses took Joshua with him -,into
the mount. Joshua was to be his suc-
cessor, and therefore, thus was he
honored before the people, above the
rest of the elders, that they might
afterward the more readily take him
for their leader, He was in the pre-
paratory school being trained up in
communion with God. A cloud cover-
ed the mount six days, a visible tok-
en c f God's special presence there.
During these six days, -Moses waited
for a call into the presence chamber.
Thus Was his patience tried, and his
obedience to the command, "and be
there." If Moses had been tired be -
lore the seventh day, and had said
as Saud (I Samuel 13:8, 9), "Why
should I wait for the Lord any long-
er?"'he had lost'the honor of enter-
ing into the cloud; but communion
with God is worth waiting for.
The entrance of Moses into the
cloud was very wonderful. It was
an extraordinary presence of mind,
which the grace of God furnished him
by six days' preparation, else he
durst not have ventured into the ,cloud
especially.when it broke out into• de-
vouring fire. Moses was •sure that
He who called him would protect him.
His continuance in the cipriii was no
less wonderful. He was there forty
days and forty nights. Doubtless,
God could have said what He had
now to say to Mases in' one day. We
are hereby taught to spend much
time in communion with God, and to
think that • time best spent which is
so spent.
From the level of every life there
is a way rap ,to the mount of God.—
(Condensed from Matthew Henry's
Commentary).

WORLD MISSIONS
"They See"
This is the way an African explain-
ed to an angry crowd of villagers the
reason why they ought not to object
to their headman's, becoming a Chris-
t'an. "Suppose," said he, "that you
ate walking 'through a dark forest
and come to a clearing where there
is one tall tree. A man stands gaz-
ing up, into the tree, and you see by
his face there is something up there.
You stop and look, too, but cannot
see what he sees. The leaves are too
thick. But that does not prove there
is nothing there. For years our bro-
thers in other towns have bean look-
ing up. They see something we do
rot see. But can we say our bro-
ther does not see, because we do not?
No, nfy .friends; we can only keep
looking and not be stumbling -blocks
to, those who do see."
Misunderstood
"Men of the world" are not very
appreciative of missionary work, the
reason being that they never come in-
to close contact with it, and do not
understand what missionaries are not
only trying to do but are successfyytnlly
accomplishing. The late Edgar Wal-
lace was a typical "man of the world"
but hs; had seen missionaries at work
and brought his observant mind to
bear upon their ideals. He paid a
glowing tribute to their splendid qual-
rtiel, and, realizing the character of
their toil, he exclaimed, "I would not
be a missionary in the Congo for five
thousand ponds a year." ---'From The

A Bad .Accident
'What might have been ars even
more serious accident occurred on
the Zurich Road, between here and
Hensall last Wednesday evening
shortly after dark, when Mr. Harry
Rose, accompanied by Mr. Charles
Meyers, of the 14th con., and Blake,
respectively, were returning from
Hensall, when in some way their a car
slewed and took the ditch, and near-
ing one of the culverts took a chunk
off the abutment along. Mr. Meyers,
it is said, went out through the wind-
shield. Fortunately two men from
Grand Bend happened along and pull-
ed the men out of their difficulty and
summoned nrredioal aid, which was
'supplied as soon its possible. Both
men 'recei'ved a bad shaking up, es-
pecially Mr. Meyers, who was un-
conscious for a considerable time. The
car, a sedan, is a complete wreck
and i.s beyond repairing.—Zurioh Her-
ald.
