QUEBEC'S LICENSE LAW Quebec's new license law is of the most drastic character, It puts the business of the province under the direction of two conymissioners, one 'Hocated at Quebec and the other at Montreal. It orders a certain reduc- tion in the number oi licenses, from 473 to 350 restaurants, at which li- 350 sold, and from 548 to of shop licenses, a total in a year 371. Quebec's reduction is as proportionately. There. . has complaint about the cabarets {and a new clause puts it in the pow- {er of the commissioners to take these complaints into account and to act upon them, and especially for mis- conduct, to cancel the licenses at once. The provision which deals with pa- | tent medicines, is certainly yery em- { phatie and will prohibit® the sale of | them in the province of Quebec.

A further provision is against importation of liquor into the districts or counties for sale, and any company the dry transportation or express which handles the stuff is subject to a fine. Deliveries may be made to individuals direct, but the goods may be seized if there is any evidence that it is to be sold. The open bar is after May, 1915, abolished, and one exhibiting or selling liquor at it will have his license cancelled. The temptations of the bar will, there- fore, be gone, and Queber, of its own accord, and without any referendum, takes advanced ground upon the sub- ject. The premier of Quebec is not so much talked of as some other pre miers in Canada, but he is 4 pro- gressive and courageous legislator. He was understood to be anxious to lim- it the sale of liquor and to remove year. A third member was already 4 ay "out.

In Saskatchewan an- ti-bar legislation was proposed and abandoned because it seemed to be in advance of public opinion. EDITORIAL NOTES " Judge Moreson, of Toronto, has given a ruling which will probably stand, namely, that people can buy and eat all the ive cream they like on Sunday, because it is a food. This will encourage a great Sunday trade in ice vreamt. But if the people spend their money on nothing more hurtiul they will be doing well. = The witnesses who made a profound and lasting impression before the Prison Reform Commission were eox- Warden Platt and Dr. Young.
