Expqlanataîy comment ta sometimes provded ta place the situa- tion in contet October 1915 There waa a meeting of prohibi- tlonists in Milton last Monday ta consider the question of submitting the Scott Act ta a vote in titis countyý so, that it should, if carried, go into effect on May 1, 1916. A meeting of the saine kind waa heid here more than a year ago, but the outaide organhizers who bad it catied received no encouragement and the ides of a vote was dropped. [ast Monday, it ta underaîood the organizers were more successful and it, waa decided ta take the steps necessary ta, bring on the vote. In the 1880s, there was a "wave" as there is said ta be now, and the act was carried in a aumber of Ontario counties and several cities. The act proved. ta be a wretched (allure aa a promoter of temperance, the 'wave" receded li thse later '80s and the act was repealed li every constituency Halton, whlch had been the first ta canry it, was the fRst ta reject it, which it did by a majorlty of about 200.

Thsis may accourut for the fact that the oid style "Scott Act" aow appears ta be taboo, among prohibitiomasta, who speak af t.he measure as thse Canada Temperance Act, but tbey are quite correct li doing se. Lt ta so styled li the Dominion Statutes, but as it was introduced by the late Senator Scott, it became generally known as the Scott Act. As the aider people ai Haiton have a vivld recol- lection af it under that naine, we now use it, so that ail may under- stand what tbey are about ta be asked ta support.
