ontario temperance act is upheld this was given in the case smith versus the attorney general of e ontario th httf ftrtarfirn talrrfi hy thft safety in public travel there aro frequent reports in the newspapers of railway wrecks marine disasters or motor car acci dents in which lives have been lost and serious in- juries sustained the natural inference from this fact is that the dangers of travel are great moat people would at least say that they are increasing through the growth of cities and the demand for speed but neither belief will stand investigation it is indeed one of the triumphs of civilization that life is all the time better safeguarded in no respect s this truer han in regard to travel not long ago an accident occurred in new york harbor by which number of lives were lost in a collision between two ferryboats investigation showed that the acci dent was due to the sudden death by apoplexy or heartdisease of the pilot the discovery ied to the passage of a law which now keeps two pilots always on duty the incident is worth mentioning again because it furnishes so good an illustration of the manner in which presentday accidents are made future safeguards one would not be very wide of the truth in saying that those who mio in accidents are often martyrs from whose deaths come blessings for their successors two sound steamers crashed together a few weeks ago they drew apart with shattered bows and holes which would have sunk a vessel of fifty or seventyfive years ago in a few min utes yet each proceeded safely to dock under her own steam simply because both

and exportation of all liquors the attorney general for ontario ar gued that tbe act need not be an absolute prohibition bnt one prohibiting sale generally would suffice in giving oat tbe decision mr justice duff said wo have cohie to the conclusion that counsel for the attorney-general- has made good his contention 1 that notwithstanding this provision the o t a when viewed as a whole falls within the description in section 152 of the canada temperance act right ly understood and 2 that part iv of the canada temperance act does recognize the possibility that the prohibition of that enactment may be brought into force in relation to a province in which tho probibdon created by the provincial law is a limited one the four judges on the bench concurred in tho judgment this very

referring to tbo disposal of the smith appeal case the globe says ontario is kept dry by the supreme court beyond dispute and the opinion of the judges of the court is unanimous that looks as if there is nothing constitutionally wrong with the ontario temperance act y courteous driving makes for safety why is it necessary for anautomobflc club to plant its road signs bearing the phrase courtesy makes safety throughout a locality in which traffic is known to be very heavy yet that is what tbe ontario motor league is impelled to do why do we see articles in magazines and newspapers ivith titles like this a little more courtesy or a lot more trouble what happens to a man when he t gets behind his steering wheel in many cases some psychological change seems to take place inhim for he displays a woeful lack of courtesy toward his fellowmotorist ho does things as a motorist that he would never dare to do as a pedestrian for in stance it is not our custom to ram people as we pass them on the sidewalks wo do not cut a man off as he crosses the street we do not deliberately try to steal another mans seat in tho trolley car yet we see analogous actions on the part of the motorist every day we have reached a point in motoring where unless courtesy in driving receives renewed and serious attention says frederick c russell in motor life the piloting of an automobile will be come a freeforall in which everyone will aim to make it just as inconvenient as possible for everyone else the whole question apparently resolves itself into this every act of discourtesy encourages a more serious act of retaliation with its resulting train of annoyances and accjdtnts why not therefore infer that every act of courtesy w4u bring forth a better act of reciprocation furthermore why not try jt automatically others will follow suit wltb the great rocreasa in tho number of cars on our roads and the corresponding increase in tho complexities of driving oldfashioned motor courtesy it seems
