The Scott Act was practically j inoperative because it did not contain the macbinery for its enforcement. The country presss, with extremely Tlio machinery for the operation of rare e.xceptions, are advocating the Ulje present act ig complete, and the passage of the prohibition measure. I govornment guarantee its euforoeraeut Among Its most ardent advocates the if 212,723 votes are polled on Deo.4th Clarksburg Reflector probably stands up head. The following quotation is from last week's issue and shows very clearly bow Bro. Marshall looks on the matter : "The question now is what do you want done with the bar room? Supposing the law could not bo en- forced and the saloon should go on forever and men should die in it like flies and lioll grow fat on its victims, your business is to wash your hands of your own responsibility on Dec. 4th by voting against the legalizing of the open bar. This is the duty that is upon the lieads and hands and hearts and conscience of tiic christian voters of Ontario now to do. And you are' "witnesses against yourselves" if you do not do your duty for your home, your country and the merciful Provid- ence that lias perhaps so far spared your homo the cursed hot-iron brand of the heartless traffic in rum." Again ho says : "It is of no use to rail at the hquor Heller. His business ^record of sales, that ia there was no may be bad and quo you would not like to ,iuake your living of. You might not care to eat bread bought with the sorrows of a ruined home or a b'asted, blighted life, but yonr respon- sibility does not end there. How did the liquor dealer got his right to en- gage in this business? Tiio public virtue <vaB for sate, ho bought it at its own price and paid for it in hard cash, money wrung from the livelihood of helpless women and little childrcn,aud the voting church must refuse to rat- ify the sale if her hands are to be kept clean from complicity in the liquor trunic, the meanest thing thai ever fouled a home or dragged the Union Jack at tho chariot wheels of shame." next. Under the Scott Act liquor might be kept anywhere and iu order to convict it was necessary to prove that it hai been sold or exposed for sale. Moreover it might be given av/ay, and sales wore frequently made under pretext of gifts. Tho following is the exact wording cf the Ontario Liquor Act, paragraphs 151 and 152. 151. No person Hliall. wlthiu the Proviiico of Ontario, by hiiuHulf, his clerk, Borvant or a^oDt, expoBO or keop for sale, directly or iii- dr ectly, or upon any pretence, sell or liart<'r, or I u cuusideratiou of tho purchase or transfer of unv property nr thinf;.

Under the Scott Act, the licensed vendors were not compelled to keep a which it is proposed to use as unfit for the purpose. It is said to coiitain too much mineral of some kind to be useful. The Durham people are be- coming less enthusiastic over their investment. When the work was first promoted from 76 to 150 men were to be engaged and the town was destined to buzz with life. Now it is claimed with labor 'saving machinery only eight or ten lAnds' will be re- quired to run the wh'61e concern. We hope, however, that these pessimistic aud disturbing rumors will prove to be exaggerated and that the town will realize all that it anticipated from its investment, , It is feared that the Hon. Wilfrid Laurier is a sick man. This statement was pooh-poohed by the government prsss upon his return from Europe, but ho has again found it necessary to relinquish business and go south to visit tho hot springs of Virginia.

Under the present act all brewers and wholesale and retailed liceiipcd dnipgista who neglect to keep a record of sales aro subject to a heavy fine. Any ton ratepayers may prevent a license being given to a druggist if he is not a proper person to be thus privileged. Under the Soott Act tho penalties were, for the first ofTenoe,a fine of SSO, for the srcoiid afine of $100, for the third not more than two months in jail.
