(Special to The Post.) The concert given under the auspiâ€" ces of the Presbyterian church by the Woodvilie Dramatic Club, of Wood- vil‘le, on Friday evening last, was well attended. Each of those who played the various parts did their work exceptionally well, and from thebeginning to the end the play was greatly enjoyed by the audience, and if Woodville should again favor us at another date a full house is assured them. Pnoceeds amounted to nearly $50. The probability is that local opâ€" tion will not now be declared to have been carried in some of these munici- panties. THE PLACES AFFECTED The judgment rendered yesterday was known as the West Lorne case, and upon the decision may depend, to a considerable degree, the result of local option contests in Aurora, Kin- cardine; Clifton, Menford, Graven- hurst, West Lowe. and other places. The County Judges of Ontario may now go into the question of the le- gality of votes cast in local 'option contests, according to a. judgment of the Supreme Court of Canada hand- ed down in Ottawa yesterday after- noon. It is a distinct setback to temperance workers, who, anticipat- ing the decision last week, through the W.C.T.U. approached Hon. W. J. Hanna with the object of having am- ended legislation introduced at this session of the Legislature. The force of the decision may best be under- stood in a case like the following: An illegal voter may cast his ballot against local option, have it counted on that side, then, by a recount or scrutiny, have it declircd illegal and deducted from the count in favor of local option. The law as laid down yesterday makes: it clear that even if it. were known that the. illega’. voter cast‘his ballot against local option, that vote must be s'ide. TEMPERANCE FORCES GET A SETBACK E‘ IN RECENT SUPREME COURT JUDGMENT WEEK’S NEWS FROM OAKWOOD taken off the local option Referring to military training, the Minister said thousands of boys pass- ed the military schools in Toronto, [ yet not one yet had appeared in the 3 police court.

"Boys should be treated by theis Nearly as many women, he declar- ed, as men in Ottawa were using liâ€" quor simply because of the social conventionalities. Nowadays if young girls had to choose between the sober young man and the jovial liquor-using sport, they generally choose the latter. “And as long as I am Minister the country will not pay for the service of drunkards.

Bell, (nee Miss Bertha Short) of Kerro- bert, Sask., will be pleased to know that she is now recovering after a. critical illness. Mrs. Bell was former- ly of Mariposa, and removed to the West a couple of years ago with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. William Short of Oakwood. We are sorry to learn that 6Mrs. Ben Richardson, formerly Miss Stel- la Lake, of Oakwood, is in the hos- pital at Winnipeg, having undergone an operation for appendicitis. We wish her speedy recovery. Mr. and Mrs. Willis Fowler of Ven- try are the guests of Mr. and Mrs. R. G. Webster. \ Mr. A. L. Short spent Sunday at his horhe here. Mr. and Mrs. E. P. Rodman attend- ed the thirtieth anniversary of their wedding at the home of Mr. and Mrs Tamlin of Cambray on Friday even- ing. We are pleased to hear that Mrs. George Savinac, who underwent an operation at the Ross Memoeial hos- pital, Lindsay, has recovered suffi- ciently as to be able to return home. Mrs. Savinac speaks very highly of her treatment while there, and also of the kindness of the nurses. Mr. Nicholas Hill is having a sale of his furniture, blacksmith tools, etc., on Monday, Feb. 24th. We un- derstand he intends leaving for Ed- monton, Alta., shortly. Two years ago some judges doubt- ed the decisions, and leaned towards power in sorne particular instances, viz., cases of non-residents and per- sons disqualified because of corrupt practices. The matter was. fully op- ened up in the case of the village of West Lorne, when the question was argued Whether, if a Judge found a vote illegally cast, his Honor must also find upon which side it was cast. Mr. Justice Middleton, in his judgment, said a Judge must do so. The Divisional Court, after hearing the appeal, reversed the judgment, holding that if a County'Judge found illegal votes, such votes must be deâ€" ducted from the local option side, that. being the affirmative side. A further appeal was carried to we Sourt of Appeal before the last mid- summer vacation, and the judgment of the Divisional Court was sustain- ed by the decision of the five J udges, Justice Meredith and MacLaren dis- senting. Again, when Mr. .W. E. Raney carried the appeal to the Su- preme Court the result was the same, the appeal being dismissed, Justices Davies and Brodeur dissenting. also allows a scrutiny by the Coun- ty Judge when asked for. Some six years ago there was raised the ques- tion as to whether a County Judge could investigate the legality of votc es cast. The township of Saltfleet, near Hamilton, took the case into the court, and it was ruled that County Judges could not go into the legality of votes. Another case was that of the town of Orangeville, and in this instance, too, Sir William Meredith decided likewise. The convention is expected to be one of the largest and mostirnport- ant in the history of. the organiza- tion. An outstanding feature of tne programme ‘is a public mass meeting to be‘h-eld on Thursday evening, Feb- ruary 27. Rev. John Mchtll, Rev. Father Min'eham F.»‘S. Spence and others will speak. Among other important matters to ? be discussed at the annual convent- ion of the Ontario Branch of the Do- minion Alliance, to be held at Mass- ey Hall on February 26 and 27, is a proposal by Prof. James Bowman, of; London, Ont., that Sir James Whitâ€" ney be requested to pass a law to prohilit the sale of liquor in flasks or bottles over the bar, so that only shops would be able to sell Honor in packages. “The sale of liquor in flasks and bottles by tavern license- hblders,” said Rev. Ben. H. Spence, secretary of the alliance, last night, “is an unmitigated evil. This is par- ticularly true of hotels near local option districts, for they act as a depot of supply. Altogether it is one of the most disgraceful and glaring violations of the law. The law should prevent tavern license-holders doing a shop business. It pretends to do that now by limiting to a quart the quantity of liquor that may be sold over the bar at once. People make a fool of- the law, however, by purch- asing a quart and coming back for more as often as they please. Tavern license-holders should be allowed to sell only liquor far consumption on the premises.” “ ‘ l l t Mr. and Mrs. J as.
