mous a scheme was ou foot in ottawa to modify the scott act by a clause allowing the sale of wine and beer but the goveroment4hrongh f eatof the prohi bition party in the coming elections burked the project as a oopsequenco the brewers are greatly annoyed j- world mr mowat and hi3 government have some doubts as to their duty to enforce the scott act we shall not undertake to de cide that issue but there is one thing that is plain it is their duty to enforce the crooksact audits main provision is z that no one shall sell liquor in this ihovinoe without the license the provincial government jforonjo world another effort is being made to do away with sunday funerals all over the country after public attention was called to this matter a few years ago funerals were only held on the sabbath in such cases as were absolutely necessary bt daring the last few months the practice has again become altogether too general and now another wave of opposition to them is sweeping over the land the dofferin pod says- the hotel keepers in town now see thatitis folly to disregard the scott act as the ontario government lavei taken up the enforce ment of the law the bars are now closed and intoxicating liquor is nob sold openly as heretofore the ifirst fine being only 50 was not a serious matter but now that the second is being imposed of 5100 with the prospect of jail for a third offense the prospect is not so pleasant the st catharines knights of labor recently boycotted the new because the publishers received a part of their matter from a buffalo firm in stereotype plates the difficulty has been amicably settled upon what terms we have not seen an nounced should such boycotts- become general it would be for the news papers of canada for the local papers generally and even many of the city dailies are printed either on parent outsides or made np to a considerable extent from steoreotype plates repeived from toronto or elsewhere the free press is the only newspaper in hal ton county which is printed wholly from type set up in the i office of publication the patent system does not niake the best local newspaper but in the words of an exchange it may be a necessary economy as self preserva tion is the first law of nature f ilelllp has the tiltbn hiformer oil last we tho folio wing 1 the kaamyiwprofesswto bo teriibly iudigua it at the aototi fnun press

the fkekr hem to give the names of ptrties who dt all they can to frustrate the suc cessful operation of the scott aot no doubt lit all but tlie free press or any other j aper iu tlie county could easily give tho names of those parties but ironr per- bouojraspiis do uot care to do so now then will tho champion lead the way and give the public the names of all the shebeen keepers it knows of in the town of mklton if it will the pnblio would have some faith in its display of wounded dignity and pride if it fails to do so the public will drajw its own conclusions and allow the rum prgau to blaster and falsify about the scott act to its hearts content in conclusion we might say that the acton free press was trictlr correct when it made the charges bf wbijch the chation compltfins bbrd op

decaying its population lessened its people despairing all because the scott actrhas been one day in operation within its borders we are told in one breath that the act is a total failure because it
