their object the welfare of the community will accomplish results ijch could never be achioved by individual effort pp cultivation of an esprit do corps among our sens is bound to mean much in growth and suc- j this spirit of cooperation is sure to achieve sslrable results and if the membership of this new na important organization stand together when ues vital to our towns best interests are

citizens ggfbo- desire to cooperate in the avowed object of the gasization to promote the economic and civic fare of acton and vicinity tho chamber of jpmmerce has been an acknowledged force in two jitters of interest since its formation in september jgtbe restoring of tho canadian national railway nlng train going east and the embargo on the don of a building on mill street which failed to ly with tho fire byljtw of the corporation in the materials used in its construction and which citizens ht did not conform with the character of the build up desirable in actons business section in the lonftafcen in the latter matter the municipal cotm- twas admittedly assisted in taking strong grounds tost tho construction of such a building acton amber of commerce has a programme of activities are intended for the betterment of the com ity and the members ore quite prepared to put ijrtjl individual and united effort and spend their means to accomplish matters for community ptection and betterment preferential trade with australia the new preferential trade agreement between australia and canada should bo of mutual advantage to both c has now much the best of trado with ijcr sister dominion sending some nineteon million dollars worth of goods to that country against a little over one million dollnrs received the can ndlan automobilo trade with australia is particularly good it is figuredout that under the new arrange ment newsprint exports from this country will bt increased by probably thirty thousand tons per ye i this would greatly reduce the scandinavian export which now shares the australian market with britain doesnt express on opinion in last issue 67 a local paper in a neighboring county jhc advertisements of tho prohibition con- mjttejp and of the moderation league appeared side uy sidft the editor evidently had a twinge of con science hout and apologized to his readers in this manner what you read in those advs are the arguments advanced by either side to support their cause neither is necessarily the opinion of the editor of this riapea please bear this in mind a diligent search ofthe editorial and news columns failed to reveal what tho opinion of the editor really is perhaps hell express it before the election comes off next week prohibition and personal liberty fthe plea of personal liberty is being overworked ddy by the moderation ists in their canvass against ontario temperance act but the truth is this i the weakest and silliest argument that was ever i i against the prohibition of intoxicating liquor one who gives any honest thought to the matter gwfll he aelf evident that there is no such thing as rolufe persopal liberty in any organized condition bfrwojety our liberty of action and even of speech kjmited and restricted in every relationship of iff p pa social order such as ours nd man liveth to itself we ore dependent upon others and con- quentlytesponsible to others in a thousand ways i domain of our liberty extends no further than f rights of others the antiprohibitionist protests jinst the action of the state in depriving him of liberty of buying alcoholic liquor taking it into home and drinking it when he chooses to do so vaysthis is a personal matter with me and no sftn has a right to dictate to me what i shall or shall pt eat or drink at first thought this may seem cjr reasonable and right but it is not so simple a it looks every man is bound up in a whole circle ms relationships with others who have rights as sacred jjhis and who are affected by his actions even by personal habits which- he thinks arc nobodys tineas but his own for example tho man who urns his right to drink intoxicating liquor may ivoa wife and children his wife has a right to jpo love and protection of her husband the comforts m a home to all that was pledged to her on the day r stood at the altar beside the man to whom she ivw her heart and hand in sacred wedlock but ho ill dare to say that this right of a woman is no infringed upon in thousands of cases by drink 10 story of xuined homes of want and sorrow and nan are the commonplaces of the drink record jje children of the man who claims his right to drink have a right to nourishing food and warm clothing ri4to educational advantages all of which are ioter rfed with by drink the grocer and tho baker and tailor and the coal merchant and all those whj upplythe needs of a modem family have a right tftho money in payment of their bills which sc often i into the tilt of the liouor seller or the pocket of rjbootlegger we all have a right to peaceful and rly community life to the privilege of quiet afto security from harm on our streets but can theaejhiagsbe guaranteed where jnen under jqftuenfe of hquot obtrude themselves anddwink drivers speed thojr cars through our streets re- dless of the peril j they are creating to young and jjdv so that there are others who have rights as va the drinker tho fact is that tho man wflo sdeahis personal liberty argument in connection tftlfrtttia- drink traffic is talking absolute nonsense fcb pno should he influence by so shallow a plea going tothe polls on october 23 p res by tori mi personal 33berly in actual ekperience in thinking of personal liberty we all ought to remember that the organization of human society cannot begin even in simplest forms without limit ing the liberty of the individual where necessary for the welfare of others every step in the progress of social relations is marked by further restrictions of this kind all laws impose these limitations we could not have organized society without them the only reason we are unaware of so many of them is that we do so many things right but let any man do things wrong wear his clothes indecently speak unadvisedly with his lips or let his house be come fltthy or if ho commit anyother thing that is a nuisance and he will quickly find that there is a law all ready to interfere with his liberty to do that very thing neighborhood jnfews- town anclx country milton editorial notes the guejph mercury suggests that the 23rd of the month may bo significant for the opponents of the o t a skidoo the way to scotch the bootlegger is to give the government a mandate to continue and strengthen and to actively and vigorously enforce the ontario temperance act when the plebiscite on importation of liquor from other provinces was taken several years ago king ston gave a large majority on the wet aide now one actually hears thatkingston this time may vote dry kingston whig is the day of the fanner returning let us hope so with wheat now up to 102 the highest price since war days it looks as if the tiller of the soil may have another innings if he does everyone will benefit pembroke obseryer saskatchewan now has government control al though only about onethird of the qualified electors voted in favor of it many temperance people neglected to go to the polls it is not opinions but votes hat count be sure to vote tho truth is out at last j a curjie m p p the champion of government control in the provincial legislature now admits that he is president of the highland scotch distilleries linjited of course he wants government control it would hejp to make him rich this plebiscite campaign is a challenge to all prohibitionists ontario being the banner province ot canada must always lead not follow such a thing as adopting government sale which has proven a failure in each province where tried is not to be thought of prime minister macdonald and his government suffered defeat in the british house of commons on a relatively unimportant amendment on wednesday evening parliament was dissolved on thursday and a general election has been proclaimed for wednes day october 29 gteat britain is consequently now embarked on the shortest and what promises to b the most hectic electoral campaign in history opponents- or the 0 t a are continually talking about tho sane system of dealing with the liquor business that our cojnpat riots in tho province of quebec havo adopted the proof of the law is in the results of its working no higher prajso could bo given the ontario temperanco act than the antag onism and abuse of those who prefer quebecs sane law i it is a delusion for any one to suppose that tho movement toward total prohibition of tho liquor traffic can bo turned back it is a pretty safe prophecy that at no very distant day canada will havo dominionwide prohibition but this can only bo attained by constant effort on the part of thoe who believe tho traffic in intoxicating liquors is n curse to
