In the coming provincial election ampaign one issue will be supreme, hat « Bisye is definite, inavituble, d | y drawn. It is so framed and 50 presented that choice must be e. It allows for no evasion, no die course, Other nd followers in the legislature and throughout the province. But it is not, or it ought pot to be, a distinc- five and decisive question in party politics. It is above all things else a people's guestion. It appeals-to men not as liberals or conservatives, but as citizens, It involves funda- mental social, éepnomic, and indus- 'trial considerations. . It has to do with the essential moral forces and religious motives. The organized Jiguor traffic with the licensed bar- room as it one great agent, is an un- digguifed menace to the social order and an enemy to every legitimate human industry. For this reason it is always and everywhere a people's problem. * Because the barroom is at root a people's problem it Is immovably a problem for the church. And all the religious denominations in Ontario have frankly made it their problem. Without reservation" they have pro- + nopneced against the open bar. Be- fore the name of N. W. Rowell as Hberal leader was heard of in On- tario (he recoguized leaders of the churches and their supreme courts and representative convens tions condemned the liquor traffic, denounced its evils, and demanded of the goyerAment that its licensed bar be utterly and immediately abol- ished, .

When the fight comes on it will not be a * fight between the men on the gov- ernment side of the house and thé men on this side of the house; but "the real issue in the next election in this province will. be this: Shall the tganized liquor forges of the pro- wince triumph over the organized £0! of ,our common Christianity vg the line of the policy which k Christian forces themselves e formulated 1' " From that clearly-drawn issue * there is for the churches, and for the men who support the policy of the churches, no escape.

'These words, written by Robert Louis Stevenson, hang above the desk of H.

Mer Selfridge is a man who belives in maxims, and he has framed a num- ber for his own guidance..; They cer tainly point the way to success for the young business man. Here are a few of his favourite ones: "The cult of thoroughness is one of the strongest factors in success." "If an assistant has received in- | structions to perform a certain task he should try to find even a betfer way than that he has been told." "Imagination shonld prove one of the greatest assets." 'Personality is a very important factor. A man of distinet personal- ity is the successful man of busi- ness.'

"Spasmodic use gf printer's ink is money wasted. , The best advertiser in the world is the kaiser. He gets more for less money than any man I know.
