k i i i 1 r i jthan itt tes thcrrmt morstno skitkaiuku 1886 1 the next step larliatbghf when asked to pass prohibi tory legislation challenged tjio prohibi tionists to show that the icouutry was in favor of prohibition by having the scojlt act passed by tho counties aud municipali ties tho prohibitiohists accepted tho challenge and went to work the oain- paign which they carried on so vigorously was as all canada knows the most suc- icessful agitation oyer inaugurated there were more victories and fewer defeats than were ever scored for auy other cause success was iudeed almost uniform tho prohibitionists were given to understand that they had the sympathy of tho majority of the rcprcsenttivos iu parliament and of tho powers that be whether they had or not when tho challenge was issned and accepted they had a right to expect that no obstacles would be thrown iu their way by the authorities yet what has taken place one of the strongest arguments against prohibition is the false allegation that it does not prohibit the falsity of thisldeclatation hypocritically made by the liijoor sellers who fight prohibition as if their existence depended upon it beiug rejected is plain the governments of the day have however doue all they could to give some color of truth to this allega- tion they have shown extreme apathy to and even some inclination against the enforcement of the scott act it is tho duty of the provincial government of on tario to enforce the scott act and they have it in their power to do so effectively the government whether out of fear of the liquor vote or from mere indifference i we cannoe say hare doge little to enforce i the law they have allowed the laws to be broken and the magistrates who tried to j enforce them to be attacked with dynamite without making adequate effort to vindi cate the law they blame their impatience i j upon the dominion government and with some reason as that government whether out of feasor favor have obstructed tho enforcement of the law the fines imposed for the infraction of the scott act go to the dominion government and should be used for the purpose of enforcing the law the dominion government in spite of i promises given to apply the revenues thus obtained to the proper purpose withhold i the tnonev and thus give the ontario government an excuse for not enforcing the law both governments are flirting with the liquor votes in view of the next general elections and the prohibitionists should take steps to make their just indig nation tell ilontnal wunr notes and comments the canadian

lightning this month such is the case every year at this season farmers bhould see to it that all their buildings aud contents are insured the year round but especially when filled with the products of their care and toil then it is that the lightning is most apt to strike and a fire from whatever cause is likely to be most disastrous to them mayor howland of toronto spoke at the shmlyatteudedgeorgetowu prohibition camp his remarks were oftentimes so outrageously far from tho facts that tho conclusion was reached that he is either ignorant of what he was talking about or else mendaoious mittunsun but why doesnt the sun give fts readers an outline of mayor hbwlandb remarks so that they might judge for themselves does the sun presume to manufacture its rtaders opinions for

much to the point and applies so well in every section we deem it worthy of a space in the columns of the feee press and would call the attention of school trustees generally to he article it is customary in some school sections to advertise for one or more teachers as the case may be each year whether a chatage is desired or not this kind ot auctioning off a school to the lowest bidder is in our opinion not true economy there are certain qualifications which everv f tfcjer does not possess and without which none will prove a success it is not only absolutely necessary to have acquired a certain amountof education but equally important to haveuhe ability of imparting to the pupils in a practical pleasing and yet forcible tflanner that information it is also a great advantage for theteacher to be a good judgeof human nature to have an unquestioned moral character and many other desirable qualifications which trustees can only know by practical experi ence or acquaintance of the teacher now when a school section becomes thus favor ably impressed with the abilities and char acteristics of a teacheris it a judicious act to put the school upat auction to be let by tender we know that economy is often perhaps unintentionally practiced to a penny wisejind a pound foolish de gree it may happen to result in- good but the chances are not favorable good teach ers are apt to keep clear of ichools that are auctioned off every year and besides we always consider it safe to stick to a tried and faithful servant in our own business and can see no valid reason- why the same rule wont work satisfactorily in the matter of school teachers canadian news v t i liinehquse news from our men correxpdndiu mr chas moore has goheto albert college belleville miss jenuie fraser left
