i ruraspo- morr t aw 2 1884 antiscott act logic english osccr in firing a tiou of the great battle of waterloo coo- s v f michigan and hassachnsbtta and wen -w- j 6k th u anouler 8pecimen o antiscott act logic therefore the bcott act will be a failure in canada the law for the pro tection life and property is failure in mexico therefore it mast be a failure in canada all this cry o prohibitory laws beiui a fuiurcimlilios that the lawa are the an enguah os j md the tkaamuuel and educauon dudes u follows many a valuable man of the people are the same it implies and brave aoldier was restored to life by that the pruiciple of prohibition wherever found aud uuder the most f avorable cir- cuinsunces must always fail this is uofc tree the yriuciple of prohibition inheres in all government and forms part of all lac it is not true that prohibition has always been a failure and mast be it is uot true uiatihe scott act in this county has been a failure druukeuuess und crime have increased in the stifle of haine under the ifaiuc la still another specimeu of logic there fore drunkenness and crime mast increase in canada anderthe scott act it is pot true that drunkenness and crime have in creased in the state of maine under the maine law there is verily much less drunkenness in xfaine in proportion to the population than in ontario if the ilaine law is such a curse to ifaiue as the anti- teuiperance men sav would they throw the whole question- upon the people now and seek to put k in the constitution of the state maine votes for the prohibitory amendment on the 8th of september one day before the vote in halton maine will sustain the law by a large majority- let halton standby the scott act and rebuke the hired advocates that are sent into this county to persuade the people to vote for whiskey temperance hotels have been a failure giving braudy md spirits to the wounded the above is clipped from an article by a correspondent in the atforrfn if august 22nd look at the logic many a valuable man and brave soldier was restored to life by giviimbraudv aud spirits to the wound- j id therefore license the liquor traffic incauada some soldiers iu the battle ofrvtalerloo who were dead or nearly so jwererestoredtoiife by spirits therefore it ia good for men women and children who arc neither wounded dyinor dead therefore license a drink that kills more than war pestilence or famine as mr gladstone says because whiskey is given to weak and fainting men an the battle field therefore open saloons in our coun ty mid put temptation before our boys and teach them to- drink venly clear and logical reasoning it is but it is the best they can do liquor saved one mans life yesterday therefore let it kill ten to- daj give us facta arguments and illus trations gentlemen that can command the rwpect of ordinary common sense prohibitory laws do not make men sober jit is certain none can say that license laws make men sober it is certain too wherever triad what follows therefore the sale of a jv 3i j 1 i v vlr v si 1s- r t i ji v t ti r jj t v m e m3 mmm jthat the liquor traffic under license makes liquor is necessary to make a hotel pay men drunk and license is a rand success j great effort is made to make the people jtjiider its fostering power in 1882 in this believe this hotel keeping and whiskey iprovince it caused3197 committalsto the uinfl are not the same the one is not j jail and prisons and in is33 tfaenf were necessary tothe other hotels can be con- s59o query how long wu it take license to stop drunkenness in ontario at the rat of 39 increase each year the scoti act in this county has made a great many men sober many who dran to jreat excess j now drink more moderately and many who drank moderately before the scott act came are now total abstainers this is a fact thai cannot be successfully contradict- ed7 the question is is it better to regulate the liquor traffic bv license or to prohibit hy thescqtt act- i this is a clean cut question if you regulate by license you have no hope of im- provementw things will never be better drunkenness prverty crime disease and death will go on yearly every civilized nation on earth is groaning uuder its fear ful burdens it u cursing the nations to- dav as they were never cursed in all the past by war pestilence or famine pro hibit the traffic in strong drink and yon are sore that its evils will at once begin to grow leis it is too much to espect and no reasonable men will ask it that the scott ar could in two years cure all the evils of the licensed dram ehop this trade has had its way of rain in canada for 70 years give the scott act a chance where- ever prohibition has been fairly tried it has been success- t the scott act prevents a man from having a glass of ale or wine and is an un righteous interference with the liberty of the citizen too will rarely hear one of those lectur ers speak of drinking whiskey brandy ttc hut tis always a glass of wine and ale on readers can easily see through this sophistry but does not the crooks act i ducted and are being made a success with- i out the sale of liquor it is entirely incor- i re to say they cannot be i give us a general prohibitory law for the dom imoa or province and we will vote for it some say this and so they wili vote against the scott act this is not con sistent voting for the scott act is the only way we can show that- we want the general prohibition if a man will not votcfor the act we have it is more than possible he would not vote to get one we have not the question of repeal shall we or shall we not vote for the repeal of the scott act the present is an eventful time in our county the attempt that is being made to reintroduce the licen sed sale of intoxicing liquor with all its demoralizing tendencies and influences calisloudly to all who desire the peace and prosperity of the county to be up and do ing it is no longer a question as to whether prohibition is a ieneut or as to an open letter tvi the rtttt and countil qffise wuagc qfadxm j gextlewxx wiitle this season has becu one of oouaiderablfl depression in all busi ness departments and while it is generally known that the financial condition of our vulag ia not of the moat encouraging aature at prwent we find you carryiug on the affairs of your offloe in such a man ner that i foe i called upon to ask the roa- aou of such a waitefal expenditure of our funds especially at the bauds of your street aud sidewalk committee referring to report of this committee 6howiug estimated expenditure on streets and sidwalks for the present year see frxx przm april 17th i find the follow- ing work recommended by the committee and agreed to by the whole council viz i 63 rods sidewalk ou tonge street from w ismonds residence eastward 33 rods sidewalk on john street from church to agues street 73 rods sidewalk on bower avenue from willow to wilbur streets be sides other work such as culverts cross ings and seven street lamps the com mittee aakd for a grant of h00 which sum was placed to their credit now gentlemen an analysis of this work shows us that the sidewalk on tonga street extends from councillor ismonds residence nearly to councillor camerons the sidewalk on john street extends to councillor ismonds preperty the build ing of these sidewalks so nicely placed forthe convenience of the members of your street and sidewalk committee while so much other necessary work such as grad ing and draining our streets has been left- undone is in my opinion a base misuse of public money surely councillors ismond and cameron especially the former must be contemplating an early retirement from municipal life to go openly spend our money in such an extravagant manner the sidewalk on bower street is doubt less a necessity although it is a fact that the property benefitted is principally owned by the other members of the council the culverts and most of the crossings were necessary but where the necessity arises for putting three street lamps on yonge street is more than i can imagine per haps this also is pap to your street committee agam if reports of your proceedings are carefully published in the fkee press i ask where the chairman of your street aad sidewalk committee obtained his authority to build a new sidewalkilrom church street tocol allans property as i sae no in stance wneremr isiuoud presented a sup plementary report to the council asking permission for the ueotry expenditure and this to benefit ouc iuai and he one who is always opposed to am thing likely

urging for the repeal of the 7 o- clock closing hoar and asking that the time be pat later how very gracious it is of them to coma now and tell the people of halton that they do not sar anything against those w6 remember too not very long ego thfly wfire rebuked by one who seams to hold jtheir destiny in els bauds that their propev afctitode before the public was defence not defiance fbey are now wishing to take the crooks act just as it is with all its faults if the electors will only try them once more the prohibition la the croaks act is beautiful andjidmirable thing the crooks act may prohibit as from baying liquor 30 boats ia a week and on el0ctiondays and there is do gag about if bat when the scott act says yoa cannot buy it at any time it is a tembie thing no man can logically ac- cept the prohibition clauses in the crooks act and refuse to accept the prohibition of the scott act j if hotel keepera dp not keep thajaw it ia not so much their fault as the laait of the officers whose duty it is 0 enforce it j this is a favorite statement wjth the antitemperance lecturers of today is it thebnty of a constable to watch a man be saspects and prevent him from stealing or bailing stolen to bring him to justice it is anewcodepf duty they are teaching how can an inspector prevent a man from breaking the crooks act 7 impossible and absurtl this statement is an apology for all lawbreakers and especially for the vio- uters of the liquor laws it is a declara tion that no liquor seller will keep thelaw crooks act or any other act prohibitory laws wgre a failate in be possible that any eane man with his eyes open to all the evils done in the past thronghiliquorsold under license will vote for the repeal of this temperance law that man is in a deplorable state indeed who with the dreadful catalogue of murder execution and deth after death in our own county of which licensed liquor was the direct cause before his mind who will take the responsibility of voting for the repeal of the scott act and so legalize the frame in an article so evil in its effects and so ter rible in its results do we consider or are we conscious of the fact that all the crimes committed and all the suffering endured ahdall the fosses sustained yea and all the souls lost through the effects of intoxica- tingdrinks were before the scott act came into force the result of the leal sale of liquor licensed by the people of halton agazifr let us not ice that for the past two years fend three months not one crime was committed no suffering endured no losses sustained and better still no lives were were lost through liquor licensed by the people of halton and we confidently trust that there is in our county a sufficient amount of true christian principle sound intelligence and fellowfeeling for suffering humanity to save us fro returning like the dog to bis vomit and like the sow that was wajhed to her wallowing in the mire therefore to this end looking to and trust ing in god for success let every man on the 9th of september vote against repeal and so save ourselves from the guilt of pat ting a stumblingblock in he way of the weak- we owe it to ourselves and oar familieij we owe it to our friends and foes we owe iteven to those engaged in the de filing traffic to do all in our power to main tain the temperance law and so save ourselves from the guilt of licensing a traffic dishonoring to god and ruinous to the moral and spiritual interests of all com ing under its baneful influence god is blessing us with an abundant harvest let us not

be fore yoa this year yoa cannot possibly dodge it ton must vote with the support ers of the scott act againstthe liquor traffic or with the whiskey party in sup port of it which will you do it is a question of conscience the scott act supporters in the county of halton have the sympathy of the entire temperance party throughout the domin ion they have already received substan tial tokens of good will and there are more of the same sort to follow god speed the right say we and let there be no re laxation of effort until the act be re- affirmed by galjant little halton brampton banner an

for repeal was 1044 and against 1774 so the vote to retain the law ia greater than the combined vote for and against it in 1879 the people of moncton have apparently found what they have been seeking
