m (SpeCial to The Post.) Last Tuesday night, the 2nd "inst, the Rev. Mr. Fotsythe, field secre- tary for the Muskoka free hospital for consumptives, delivered a most instructive lecture, illustrated by about 140 lantern views in the town hall here, to a packed house, on the dread disease the “White plague." In prefacing his lecture, he said that parents, man, woman and child, and every private individual should know the cardinal facts about consump- tion and thereby be able to avoid and combat this dread malady. Three thousand are carried away by this disease every year in Ontario. Per- sons are not born with the disease, but may have constitutions that are very susceptible to any germ disease. The disease was commuted from one person to another from the sputum, and as the lecturer said, can bepre- rented by educating the consumptive to destroy his sputtum; by teaching people to live in light airy rooms, with good ventilation; by discovering the disease in its early stage, and curing it; by people keeping them- selves in good health so that the E E]: m 35nd: omifieather Hand- Bags at mfro.m :1.

In substance this was the purport of an amendment introduced by Sir James Whitney yestcrday afternoon. when Mr. N. W. Rowell moved his resolution in the Legislature to abol- ish the bar. Mr. Rowell‘s original motion on which the debate occurred was: “NOETFEKJEG’IIS “That in the opinion (i this House the public interests demand. (1) The immediate abolition of the bar; (2) Such other restrictions upon the resi- due of the liquor traflic as experience may show to be necessary to limit its operations and effective to remedy its evils; (3) The strict enforcement of the law by officials in sympathy with law enforcement, and the elimination of political influence from the admin- istration of the law; (4) Reenlation and inspection of all houses of public entertainment so as to ensure reason- able accommodation fer the traveling pulalic.” F. G. Macdiarmid. VVezt Eigin. in- troduced an amendment to the amend- ment, as follows: “And this House desires to put on record its apprecia- tion of the good work done by the present Government of the province during the last seven years. by their earnest and faithful administration of the liquor license law, and ‘by the dwirable improvements which have been added thereto.” By a vote of 80 to 18, with Allan Studholme lined up with the Govern- ment, the amended amendment to Mr. Rowell’s motion was carried early this morning. Four members on the Lib- eral side and three on the Conserva- tive side were absent. The absent Liberals were McKay, Evanturel and Racine and Kohler. Three of them were paired with the absentee Con- servativea, viz., Col. Matheson, A. d. Mahafley and Gurney. Not since the present session com- yenced has the public shown such interest in the deliberations of the Legislature as was evinced yesterday. Scores of clergymen were present, some of them even making their way into the press gallery to get a better vantage point. The ladies’ gallery had not a vacant seat. and special chairs had to be provided beside the Speak- er’s dais to accommodate the friends of the members and others who were unable to find seats in the galleries. Mr. Rowell said one of the signifi- cant signs of the times was the grow- ing recognition on the part of the people of the great evil of the liquor traffic. He quoted statistics and opin- ions from authorities showing that the three great evils confronting society wereâ€"the opium trade, the liquor traffic and the white slave traffic. “The open bar is a nuisance and a social pest.” he said. “It is prejudiâ€" cial alike to church and state. and therefore it is time for its abolition.” There were 1,530 bar licenses in ()n- tario, 220 shop licenses and 53 club li- censes. The bar represented an over- whelming percentage of the traffic. There was about $81,000‘000 invested in the business generally. The Gov- ernment’s receipts amounted to near- LY 3300.000 .vearly. m explaining the meaning or ms resolution, be said it would wipe out in one stroke the great retail traffic. Local option would continue to work on any residue of the traffic not wip- ed out. Such legislation would strike a vulnerable point and accomplish great good. Once the bar was abolish- ed, it would never be restored. No political party would ever think of restoring it. The word “prohibition” was a misnomer, because the Govern- ment must work within the limits of its power. The Privy Council had decided that the province had no con- trol over the manufacture or impor- tation of liquors. He did not con- sider that abolition of the bar meant wiping out the traffic completely. but the existing evils would be reduced as far as practicable. He fully rea- lized that there should be no discrim- ination between the club and bar. Regarding law enforcement. he said that oificials should be in sympathy with the law. A great difficulty was the interference of the liquor people in politics, and the only solution was the removal of the enforcement of law from politics antirnlv 1ne cause or dissatisfaction among the traveling public with respect to poor hotel accommodation was on ac- count of the bar in most cases being the main source of revenue. Hotels. therefore. did riot provide the required accommodation.

Hotelkeepers wondered why they were ostracised, but the blame could be laid to the fact, that they _could not. keep up an honorable busxness thh a. saloon attached. “My hon. friend has announced his position,” said Sir James Whitney in reply, “and we on this side of the House may be allowed to congratulate him at having reached a. decision af- ter long consideration. he has ex- pressed himself with strong feelings and iervid utterances. I congratulate him in good faith ior breaking his bonds. Sir James stated that for over a year the Government had been con- sidering the proposition of puttinc the license department into the hands of a provincial commission. However. nothmg as yet had been demded on in that regard. “Under the Scott. act.” said Sir James “the evils of the liquor traffic were infinitely \xmse than under the ordinary hotel license system. I do not wish to speak of .he things that occurred under the Scott net, nor even think of them. They were so revolt.- mg.” “What has data 'mined me to favor legislation abolishing the treating sys-. temâ€"and I ask members on both sides of the House to sympathize with, mv, .nmaitiqna” arid Sir James. “is that it would Kin tne desxre mr treat- ingâ€"even if it didn‘t become enforced right away.” The Prime Minister thought that holding over the head of the hotelkeeper the threat that he would lose his license if the treating system was persisted in. would be of great effect. Even the hutelkeepers had declared that they were in favor 051 the treating system being abolish- e .
