The spirit of Queen's was mani- fest last Saturday in the city of To- ronto where hundreds of men and Women, who. had-passed through the halls of the seat of learning on "The OM Ontario Strand," left their busi- ness and professional work for a day or two to view the players in the blue, red and yellow uniform and cheer them on to victory. From east and west and north, graduates' excursions are to be run: to Kingston for the crucial contest of a week hence.

The rural districts, from whi¢h his support is almost exclusively drawn, are well- nigh a solid unit for fhe prohibition laws. They have, in successive re- ferendum votes, given prohibition big majorities, and have offset the ad- verse votes recorded in some of the cities. The premier has nothing to lose in selecting the O.T.A. as the issue on which he will fight, for be has no followers in his camp who have been elected by a "wet" vote, tion he is sure to retain the support which he had in the lest election. The olaims of the Liberal party as the fathers of prohibition, and of the "abolish the bar" policy, however, should have some consideration. In 1914 they went down to defeat with that as the chief plank in their plat- form. They did not stand for the absolute prohibition which is so dis- tasteful to many of the city people, but they favored doing away with the abuses which existed in the mainten- ance of the saloons. They stood for @ saner measure of temperance legie- lation than that which is now in force, and they will have many fol- lowers in an election campaign fought on the question of temperance as aguinst total prohdbition. -- COAL AND BLECTRICITY.
