The anti-local optionists have nar- rowed down their argmfient now practically to the me of Owen Sound. Further they have brought the plea 1n Owen Sound down to the claim that loeal option makes diVes and illicit places of liquor selling. ‘ Practically speaking, they maintain that the law 18 not observed. The‘ Mayor of Owen Sound has openly tak- en this stand. He claims, to his shame, that he knows the law to be openly and indecently violated, for- getting that his position makes him fully responsible for this infamous condition if it exists. In brief, the stand of these men is simply this : “We won’t obey the law, therefore thelaw isno good." This is arath- er peculiar stand to find supporters among the good citizens of law-abid- ing Ontario. It is the business 0! every goodcitizen to seethat the law IS OBSERVED until repealed. 'be an easy one to handle. But no such method presents itself as prac- ticable. The best way then is to con- sider all the circumstances and con- ditions and make the most expedient movas to hamper the evil. The temp- erance people of Lindsay seem to be working along these lines of least re- sistance, and an. effort is being made ‘ to have two of the preSent liecnses' 1n itown cut off. Such a procedure would be beneficial front every view point. !In fact, the loss of nevenue is about \the only strong argument against the proposition, and this argument is easy to remove. The experience of other places has been almost invari- ably that license reduction tends to better hotel-keeping and better ob- servance of the law. Hotel men fol- low this line even for their own per- sonal advantage. Several of the mu- nicipal candidates are pledged to sup- port a reduction of licenses in Lind- say, and if the temperance reformers show themselves sufficiently in earn- est the rest will be easy. There is no difference of opinion on the question of the evils arising out of intemperance, nor does any good citizen question the advisability of curbing or diminishing so far as may be possible the ugly features of this evil. The difference of opinion arises as to the best method of combatting the drink curse. The fact of the mat- ter would really appear to be that difierent circumstances may suggest varied forms of accomplishing the good‘end desired. If by one mighty‘ blow, the whole trafic and all its in-‘ fluences could be swept completely‘ out of existence, the question would} Some Duties of Citizenship as an administrator, _and his possibi- iiities as a statéman. This is all well, but it was not in these lines that Mr. Tarte gave the best service to the country he loved to serve. His great-est services Were along lines for which he now receives but scanty comment. His services as the journ- alist were greater far than those of the politician-greater than those of most politicians. For many years his newspaper, “La Patrie,” has‘ been a povver in Quebec, and, laying, aside petty prejudices, it must be said it was a power for good. The‘ aggressiveness, the honest purpose,1 the fearlessness and the enthusiastic brilliance of the man made him a force in journalism. He was a con,- spicuous leader, a national figure in newspaperdom. The Canadian press has lost an outstanding member in the death of Mr. Tarte, and the peo- ple have lost ajgood servant and a faithful friend.-‘ Now that Hon. J. Israel Tarte \ is passed over to the last great: majori- ty, »much is being said of his many high qualities of heart and brain. Journals of both great political creeds are generous in praise of the statesmanship, the patriotism, the enthusiasm and the honest purpose of Mr. Tarte, though his straight, fear- less independence prevented his sub- servience to either the Liberal or the‘ Conservative party.

In the fracas Madill was stab- bed twice in the side with a. hunting Some of the suggestions relatiVe to i drunkenness may be objected to. Lind isay is a little freer than most towns ,of its size from this curse, but Lind- say might very acceptably dispense with ALL its drunk and disorderly folk. The Watchman-Warder would be more than pleased to see a COM- PLETELY temperate, orderly citi- zenship. But criticism of the police will not conduce to this good end. The police are doing all they can for the order and decency of the town under present circumstances. They might do more, however, if all the good citizens would help. If a dis-i orderly person is seen on the streets} if a crime is suspected, if wrongdo-i ing is known,-â€"instead of criticizing ithe police, if good citizens would helpi the police it would be much ‘better for the force and the town alike. The! police sufier from mortal limitations; they can only be in one particular place at any one particular time. If good citizens would have the courage to furnish the police with more in- formation that would lead to the pun- ishment of disorders the call for even the faintest criticism would be un- fotmded. ’ The Watchman-Wander knows by experience that both Chief Vincent and Constable Short not only welcome suggestions and infor-; mation that will aid in the making: of the town more ideally orderly, but what is better they invariably ACT, when action is possible. 0 righteous Father. the werld bath at known thee ; but I have knnwn .ee, and these have known :hat me (January lst, 1908) the Were the inferred suggestions 01 incompetence aor indifierence to duty true,‘ then again good citizensfip would not waste time in feeble insin- nations. If negligence or incapacity exists in the police force it is a very serious matter. Such an undesirable state of affairs should suggest the clear demand for a strict investiga- tion. Such a demand would call for courage, but courage must be preSent if good citizenship is to prevail. Hap- pily the present case seems to be one‘ where such courage as suggested is uncalled for. .ing the truth to insinuate that the fault for what li tle'disorder there niay be rests wi . the police. The town of Lindsay has reason to be well satisfied with the polite force here. The men on the force are cap- able, efficient and trustworthy men, and when the range of their duties is considered it must be admitted that they do their work creditably and well. This is generally admitted by the thinking residents'of Lindsay, and good citizenship would prompt the upholding of the dignity and useful- ness of the police instead of the ad- ding to their cares. the'town is Va vary oréerly aneustand ingffi' above the snake in this, as in many other respects.
