hastening to a decision the agitation for a referendum on the liquor question has started with a little over a month on trial the liquorinterests in their conduct of increased sale have so offended the general public throughout ther province that the temperance sentiment is be coming very much awakened in its initial stages of operation it would appear that the elementt of per sonal liberties in the matter of imbibing intoxicating liquor have been granted just how they have been used and abused is answered by the public sentiment that has atreadjnbeen stirred up against their continu ance everyone deplores the debauching of the youth of the land that is part of the backward step it seems however that we are a people who learn only by experience and a new generation has come along that had not the experience of former barroom days the toll of this experienceill be heavy and possibly the inaocent will be made to suffer for personal liberties of over indulgence of the few it isregret- table that the backward step has been taken and the advances of former years discarded there is a need tor the awakening of temperance sentiment and tem perance teaching today the liquor interests are on trial and a continuance of conditions such as the first month has witnessed will soon bring about a speedy and unanimous decision by the jury w-w- tvv w no place to halt just when the results of the stevens investigation at ottawa were in a position to bear fruit it would appear that the proceedings are atrout to be halted some time ago we wrote commending the investiga tion and pointing out that the findings were of no avail unless measures were taken to cure the abuses exposed we go a step further and say that if a cure s not going to be applied it would have been better not to expose the abuses their exposure has in flamed the public mind aw all to no caase unless steps are taken to remedy thie- ills that have been shown to exist the past provincial election was not a political party victory but an- upheaval of public opinion against flagrant abuses of public administra tion the changes that were advocated during the provincial election were desired by the public if they were not in a measure being fulfilledthe expression of public opinion would have been to no avail radical as these changes may seem they appear to meet with public approval witness of this approval can be found in the byeelections recently held the time for halting the stevens investigation is not the present the presentation of measures to cure these evils and correct the abuses is all that will satisfy the electorate failing this another voting upheaval can be anticipated and failing redress by these means we shudder to think of the means that may be taken to correct wrongs that the investigation has brought to light strike experiences arejiot uncommon these days but they are not aprofitableqrsatisfactory method of settling differences between employer and employee it is to be hoped fhttttne findings of the investigation will be applicable in bringing about a better method of curing the causes contributing to vthjs alfs of our distribution system the best dependence it has been said that an extra advantage about telling the truth is that you do not have to remember all that you say it is the reverse of the familiar saying that a liar needs a good memory in point of fact no liar has a sufficiently- good memory sooner or later heis pound to betray himself whether you fell back on prevarication with the hope of saving yourself something disagreeable or in order to spare anothers feelings the chances that you vrill give yourself away are ten to one even if your intention is good the result is lamentable the best way always is to tell the simple truth lawvare made to break it seems throughout ontario on public highways outside of incorporated municipalities jurisdiction there is a speed limit of 35miles per hour in most munici palities a 20 mile limit is imposed in the interests of safety to children there is no doubt that both these laws are violated hundreds of timeseyery day there are few if any cars on the highway today that have not travelled over the 35 mile limit there is seldom a car passes through town observes the 20 mile limit the question then is what is to be done about this matter should the law be amended to meet public requirements- or should it be enforced as it now stands on the statutes it seems quite apparent that like prohibition this law is not and cannot tbe en- f creed the remedy seems to be an open law stipulat ing that cars must be driven at a safe speed which would be arrived at according to the circumstances there are times when it is positively dangerous to idle along the highway at 20 miles per hour and like wise there are times when a speed of 50 or 60 miles per hour cannot be tolerated the question boils down to one basic fact automobiles are made and advertised to do speeds up to 80 miles per hour are manufacturers to be forced to make cars that will not exceed the stipulated rate of speed or are our laws to be made more reasonable on a clear high way in light traffic there is not the slightest danger in travelling along at 45 to 50 miles per hour provid ing the driver is alert- to his task traffic officers should be given power to determine when a driver is driving at a speed dangerous to public safety but no set rules can determine what is dangerous it is understood that in england and other countries where there is no speed limit there is no great slaughter of humans by granting permission to drive at higher speeds but within the limits of public safety bowmanville statesman the sunday school r lesson fob sunday september 2nd micaii champions the oppressed golden text be hath
