The Brockville Recorder-Times submits that a strong "dry" majority on Dec. 1st would help to reduce and settle the liquor difficulties. Such an expression after the tem years experience under the restrictions of the O. ™ A. and in face of the per- sistent efforts to wreck that measure would effectively strengthen the gov- ernment in its efforts at enforce- mont and make possible the reduc- tion of many of the admitted abuses: For a measure of its nature the On- tarlo Temperance Act Has not yet been tested to the iimits of its pos- sibilities although it has already yielded great and obvious benefits. A further experiment with its possi- bilities has the promise of more cer- tain results than such a radical change as embodied in government sale. ---------------- "IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN WORSE."
