HATCHED DEAR SIR,â€"â€"I notice by The Templar you propose a “reduction of license” cam- paign. Permit me to suggest an “early- closing" campaign instead, for the follow- ing reasons: 1. It can be more readily carried. 2. If carried and enforced it will be far more effective. 3. In effect will include or lead to reduction. In favor of early closing as against present conditions it might be urged : 1. More easily enforced. 2. Largely removed temptation. 3. Give employes a needed rest. 4. Make hotels much better places for travellers to pass at night. 5. Prevent a great amount; of excess- ive drinking. Editor of The Templar. 6. Make our streets in the evening much safer and less objectionable. REDUCE THE LICENSE HOURS. 7. All business should be closed not later than 7 p. tn. 10. Largely decrease the need of police protection. 11. Very few of our young men would visit the bar if closed at seven. 12. Hotels are established by law for the travellingzpublic and no inconvenience to them would result by closing at seven. 13. Nearly all business done in the hereafter seven is in violation of the spirit: if not the letter of our present license law. 8. Husbands and sons would more generally pass their evenings at home. I shall not, at present. elaborate these various reasons nor gdd further to the list. What do you final: of my position? Yours truly. J. P. ARCHIBALD. Inga-loll, Ont“ Not. 1, B94.
