'3. 21â€"“ Neither be partakch of other men’s sins; Keep thyself pure.” “ The crisis is upon us now. For three years the liquor-traffic has been outlawed in this county. No glass of liquor has been rcgally sold for bever- age purposes since May lst, 1886. Want has been sold has been sold a- ga'nst the protest of a majority of those who hold an opinion on these matters. Those who voted against license, and bar: not winked at the violation of this l:l\\'. are not partakers of other men’s sins in this particular. Now those who would make gain out of other people's weaknesses, want the respectability of legal sanction for their trade. and want to go back to the old order of things. I have not a word to say against men, while working constitutionally to accom- plish their ends. What they need is education, perhaps conversion, that they may see how wicked are those ends. What the public conscience needs is rousing. Don't be deceived by any side issues in this contest. This is not a question of the comparative effectiveness of li- cense. or the Canada Tcmp.»rauce Act, with regard to sobreity. If there are defects in the Scott Act. these defects must be rcm0vc~l. If the Act is not properly enforced the officials must be taught their duties, and the public must be educated. The question before us isâ€"will this people again enter into partnership with the liquor-trailic? Shall liquor be sold with the sanction of the law. or, it‘ sold, sold against the law’s righteous enactments? This is Honor Graduate of Ontario Veterinary College, Toronto, 188.4.
