THE SHACK IN EVIDENCE, It is a grievance with one English writer that in Canada, in pioneer ser- vice, people have to live in shacks five miles from the nearest neighbor. But only for the while. The man without means who goes upon a homestead must suffer some privations. With good crops, however, and good health he rises above the condition of want very quickly, and the shack disap- pears. Better to live in it for a while with plenty and comfort in sight than sleep on the Thames embankment, as many are doing this winter in old London, homeless and friendless, and depending. upon charity for the food they consume from day to day. -- The people voied as they felt in the municipal election here, So they elect- ed liberals as aldermen and conserva- tives as trustecs. In this they were wise and discriminating.

There can be no denying that local option is taking a firmer hola in'On- tario, and that the annual onslaught upon the liquor traffic is having its effects. It is argued that the people who want stimulants will have them, and that license reduction or aboli- tion does not affect the situgtion. But the option advocates pursue them very unwearyingly and ignore the contentions of their opponents. In Toronto when the issue was be- fore the people the paid advocate of the liquor cause advanced the argu- ment that the fewer places for the of liquor the more of it was consumed, and the leader of the ductionists had a sharp retort. sale re- Ac- cepting the statement as correct he said it was the bounden duty of the liquor party. to hand over their con- tribut .ons to their opponents, to be used in promoting their cause, seeing that it really meant the success the other side. connection of In with the municipal elections the option law was voted upon and carried cipalities, muni- li- sustained in nineteen it had been previously including Owen Sound, the of the fiercest fighting; in twenty-three places it was lost; and in three places it was repealed. in eighteen abolishing it was Pp 1 aces where forty-five censes; carried, old battle ground and scene The record is, therefore, one of pro- gress in the interest of the law, option and a record | assertions mado by L.
