© Bull, if there were THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG SUBSCRIPTION RATES: Ee { Edition) Jie year, in Fear, MANITOBA VOTES WET The voting in the Manitoba refer- endum on Friday shows an almost complete réversal in sentiment on the temperance question, and much of the work of the organized prohi- bition forces is lost after a few years' trial. There is a deep significance in the vote that has taken place. The head- quarters of the Dominion AfMance in Toronto lays the blame for the result to the apathy that apparently seized the temperance leaders since they got the prohibition laws on the statute book. They left the enforcement of the Jaws to police and failed to read the signs of the reaction that was taking piace. It is claimed by many people, who are in the most intimate touch with all classes in Ontario, that a similar reaction is taking place here. They recall the temperance campaigns car- oe tiled on year by year culminating in the carrying of prohibition in the referendum of 1919. Since then the cause of temperance has largely been left to the enforcement officers and the courts. Do we know to-day just how strong prohibition senti- $3.00 ment really is?

An intensive campaign may create a wave of sentiment for tem- perance legislation, but such legisla- ulon is never secure unless it is based upon an absolute conviction of the people. The question is how to ren- der such a conviction permanent. The answer is not found in law enforce- ment, but we have been under the mistaken impression that once the iaw was passed the vigilance of the police would do the rest. Probibition is having its trial in Carada. Jt was brought about only after many years of hard conflict, and those who created the law are {not to blame if the mass of people will not support it. There has been a permanent gain, however, no mat- tex what may happen to prohibition. The iriass of the people do not want to see the return of the old-time bar with the evils that were associated { with it, and while the law that now goes into operation in Manitoba re- stores to the people their right to obtain liquor if they want it, there [will ba no return of the deplorable conditions that formerly characteris. ed the liquor traffic. THE PASSING OF THE U. F. O. Perhaps no government in the do minion or In any of the provinces of the dominion was ever so compiately obliterated in an election as was ths U. F. O.-Labor government of On- tario in the election held .on Monday. The United Farmers came into pow. er at a time when the public had grown weary of political strife ana when dissatisfaction with conscrip- tion had swept the countryside. Like the Patrons of Induetry, it was a passing phase. And to-day it has. ap- parently, passed away. The group system of government, ushersd in by this new movement, has not mai thd approval of the electorate, and they have, at the first opportunity, cast it aside. As Shakespeare expresss od it: "If it were done when 't is done, then 't were well It were done quickly." It was done quickly on Monday, and it was done very completely. There can be no mistake about that. While, as the Whig has admitted, the Drury government has placed on ths stat. ute books a great deal of advanced legislation for which = it déserves credit, ft has been a government not of the people by the people for the people, but a government by com- mission after commission. The elect orate had felt that it was getting every day farther and farther away from responsible government. It was out of touch with the people. It was led by Drury but it was controilea by Morrison. The former desired wo "broaden out," but the latter in. sisted upon observing and perpetuat- ing the "class --consclous" spirit. The premier bowed to the will of the dictator, and the result spells the eclipse of the farmers' party as a separate and distinct political or- ganization. Now that it has gone the way of all third parties, may we not system of two-party government, the system that, through centuries of experience, has shown itself best adapted to the requirements and capacities of the Anglo-Saxon race? on een ------ : THE SPORT OF KINGS.

This transformation in summer travel has altered entirely the ho- tel business. The "one night stand" is now'the source of income and pro fit in place of the old-fashioned stay of 4 week or more. Municipal camp- ing sites and the ubiquitous farm- Louse accommodations for tourists are another new development. Tour- ing to-day is the sport of many of our 5 people. May its popularity increase, for it harms none and benefits all. . ------------------------ THE PROVINCIAL ELECTION. The landslide in Ontario on Mon- day must have come as a great sur- prise to all parties, and especially to the Conservatives under the leader- ship of Hon, Howard Ferguson. The man whom Attorney-General Raney declared could never again look a policeman or a pine tree in the face without blushing has achieved a great victory. The man who was ex- pected to give place as Conserva- tive leader to Mr. W. F. Nickle has led his party to a signal victory, and it is not at all ltkely that a victorious general will be asked to make way for an- untried lieutenant. The peo- ple of Ontario have endorsed Mr. Ferguson in spite of the criticism that has been levelled at him in connection with the timber probe; his own constituency has given him a majority of over 2,000. These mat- ters are significant; they indicate the attitude of the public and its apathy in regard to moral standards. At the time of writing, it is Im. possible to forecast the result of the election in all its details. Owing to an unusually severe storm in west. ern Ontario, which destroyed tele- graphic communication and did mil- lions of dollars of damage to farms and orchards, the details of the vot- Ing in the western part of the pro- vince are not yet known. But in To ronto and the central and eastern part of ths province, the Conserva- tive sweep has been so pronounced as to leave little for doubt as to the attitude of the entire province. At midnight they had, according to despatches, elected 65 members in a legislature of 111 members, thus giving them a fair working majority ! over all other groupe combined. On. Iy two members of the government, as reported at that hour, had been re-elected.

The U.F.0. govern-| ment, at the same hour, could only claim a following of seven mem- bers. Why this great landslide toward Conservatism? is the question that everyone is asking. The answer is obvious. Both Premier Drury and the Liberal leader, Mr. Wellington Hay, pronounced themselves in favor of the Ontario Temperance Act as ad- ministered by Attorney-General Raney. Mr. Ferguson championed the wet cause; he was brave enough to debate the question with Mr. Raney in the latter's own constituency and thereby make clear his position. The change of opinion that swept over Manitoba, as, revealed in the pleb- iscite taken on Friday last, had ex- tended into Ontario. Total prohibi- tion did not retain the support and confidence of the people. Its enforce- ment was too drastic, top one-sided and too unfair to meet with popular | approval. There was in it, as a local clergyman expressed it when read- ing the election bulletins, 'too much Raneyism." The inevitable reaction took place, and the leader who lat it be known that he was the champ. ion of the "wets" took advantage ot the occasion. He has gained a vie. tory, but it is likely to be only a tem- porary one. Liberalism will survive this setback, as it has survived many another in its long and valued hist- ory, The party that for thirty-four unbroken years ruled Ontario with firmness and justness can never be dismayed by a passing defeat. To- morrow the pendulum may swing in the other direction. | Muscle Strain. Football players and other athletes bave been carried into the physician's office on account of a 'broken bone." No doubt about jt beosuse a num- ber of the players had heard the bone give a "snap." What hed really happened? A muscle had actually been torn across. Now while this happens often to athidtes. you may think it could not occur with you becwuse you are not cngaged in such efforts. But perbags you have not been feeling well, have had a rheamatic condition, "or are possibly getting old, and in making a sudden run for a car, or a lift of any kind, you feel something like a knife or piece of metal strike one of your muscles. You have stretched or perhaps partly' torn sonly-of the fibres of the muscle. It is most fre- quently the big muscle or tendon that j runs from the iieel up the back of tle |leg. Sometimes it is the front abdo- minal muscle in coughing or Mfting. There is a powerlessness comes over the mu ):le that seems to render it abolutely useiese. , Now what about it? Well & happens so often that many reaple do nothing and let it get beot- ct its own accord. This is unwise as it leaves a per- manently weakened muscle. I mean a muscle that will never be quite as strong as it was originally. The common sense thing to do is to try and got the torn ends to grow together. Nature will do this for you if you wih =smply give the muscle absolute rest for just about ten days. Don't use the musole whatgrer and take it off the stretch. In this way new tissue extends between the torn ends and birds the fibres together. These new tissues not only stick te ends together but stick. to the sur rounding parts aleo to some extent. Thus in about ten days when you £0 to use the muscle again there is some pein wher wou break the muscle away from the surrounding tissue. Bathing it in hot water after using it will allay the pain and help absorb the extra tissue. Must be the kind of place you get | i { | BIBBY'S Sale Summer Suits . Lots of Value.
