A WEDBING BINE, Being an investment for a life- time, should not be purchased without I, some thought or knowledge of its .172 suitability for the person you want it ’1’; for, and to be restricted to a small selection is provoking and unwise. The license method of dealing with drink is an unqualified failure in every other respect than that of collecting revenue. Even there it is 5 failure, be- cause it costs more than it. has come to. The extra cost of police courts of jus- tice, poor houses, jails, rcl'urinatorics, penitentiarics, hospitals and asylums, far, far exceeds all the blood money ex- tracted lrom the traflic. It \von be better, a thousand times better, to re- move all legislation and to take the people and the government out of part- nership with the whole baleful business. “What I Free trade in liquor ! " you exclaim. Yes, free trade in liquor. Why not ? If our fancied restrictions have failed to reduce the sale and to lessen drunken- ncss why continue them? If these so- called restrictions have added to the strength, to the attractiveness, to the patronage, to the profits, of the trade, why continue them? It is logically sound to declare that if this is a gem, useful business, there should be no ru- striction upon it, and every man who chooses should be permitted to enter it, it' it is a had, injurious business, no man should be encouraged to go into it, and no man should be given the sauc- tion and protection of law in its prosc~ cutiou. “ But. would not free trade in liquor be u dreadful thing?” It could not be any more dreadful than a licensed trade, unless there was more drinking and drunkenness. No intelligent observer can discover thar, under license, drink is not easy of ac- cess in any quantity to everybody who desires it. Withheld the authority of the province. the sanction of law, the protection of class legislation. Let the business stand or fall upon its merits. Put every one who desirss to sell on an equal footing. Do you think that would lessen the restraint upon the sellers? We do not! They could no longer shield themselves behind license, but. would be directly responsible to the community. In five years it would be as disreputable to run a saloon as a house of prostitution.

The mass of ‘fl 1 absurd, unfair, discriminating regulaâ€" l Three Methods of Dealing with the Liquor Traffic. ,Outario newspapers are publishing long lists of names of men and women who have received the solemn sanction of the state to enter upon and prosecute the business of selling intoxicating drinks. Each receives a license, an authorization of the province to set up a tempting tippliug resort, where men may find it as easy and comfortable as possible to acquire the drink habit and legally indulge the habit if" already acquired. These places not only have the sanction but the protection of the law. Only those holding licenses are permitted to embark in the trade, and others are ruthlessly prosccuted it they dare to trench upon the privileges of this special class of Government liquor sellers, created by the law, and indi- rectly endorsed by the public opinion which sustains the Government respon- sible for continuing to hand out the licenses. The defence of this system is that it provides revenue to the municipalities and the province and restricts the num‘ ber of drinking places. In other words the licensed trafiic is a. Government in- stitution for the collection of taxes, and the licensed liquor seller a public func- tionary, performing a patriotic duty. As to the limitation. there is nothing to boast of in the way of advantage to sobriety. Everybody who wants drink may get it. Thousands who do not want it are influenced by custom and the association of the drinking saloon with the hotel, to purchase it and drink it. There is not a criminal so guilty. a sneak thief so vile, a wife beater so brutal, a pauper so poor, or a trump so disgusting that he cannot make 8 rec- dezvous of these governmeutdrink dens, and buy whisky in them so long as he has a nickel to pay for it. lotions and tyrannical prohibitions which are combined under the title of license law, are as illogical and subver- sive of true liberty as they are useless in promoting sobriety or restricting drunkenness. The llceu>c system is a miserable failure, after a century of experiment. It is time it was aban-l doned. Let us have logical free trade, or logical prohibition. Under either method there will be fair play, equal rights, and no class legislationâ€"Y'all;â€" plar. 0-. Provinces May Prohibit. The much vexed question as to whether a Province has or has not the power to prohibit the traffic in intoxi- cating liquors is, or ought to be, set at rest by the clear declaration of the lion. David Mills, Minister of Janice, that there is no cmstitutinual hindrance to Provincial Prohibition. The Premier oi Prince Edwm'd Island, in which there is an overwhelming majority for Prohibition, wrote to tho Mllllelcl‘ I-l' Justice for his opinion upon the (pics. tiou, and this was .‘l r.
