In London township a merry war is in progress and it is not considered that the reâ€" sult of the recent bye-election in East Middlesex has any bearing on the situation. BIG ARMIES ENGAGED Twelve men of the 'Ontario Branch of the Dominion Alliance are labor- ing throughout the Province in con- nection with these contests, and hun- dreds of people on both sides are busily engaged in planning for vic- tory. KEEN STRUGGLES IN SIGHT The situation was cheertully comm mented upon by Rev. B. H. Spence: in a. chat with The News this morn- ing. Some of the struggles in sight that are expected to be particularly keen include the City of Peterboro, iwhich gave a majority in favor of loâ€" 3cal option three years ago, but it was not the necessary three-fifths. The same applies to Lindsay, where another try is being made. Oshawa is looked upon as sure as all of the big industrial concerns there are re- presented on the local option com- mittee and every manufacturer is working against the licenses. Whitby will vote too and is expected to go the same way as Oshawa. An interesting battle. is on in Sarnia, where the situation is entire- Ingersoll is looked upon as a good{ bet this time. Three years ago this busy burg like Peterboro rolled up a majority for local option, but not enough. It is claimed now that a. lot of good men who were opposed to it then have come over to the temperance side, and their influence will be sufficient to turn the scale. In North Bay an Interesting con- test is on. It was the railway men who got local option for West “brâ€" onto and this industrious class is being depended upon to do the same up north. Up Yonge street Aurora is the bat- tle ground. That thriving place is said to be tiring of being a. dumping ground for Newmarket “drunks." The success of local option in Newmarket has encouraged the Auroraites, who want it, and they feel confident of victory. Gravenhurst is in the same light asl Aurora. Bracebridge, but a few miles away, has local option, and its neighboring town gets the excess traffic. The example of Bracebridge is calculated to switch many votes to the local option side in Gravenhurst. ‘ Somewhat similar conditions exist in regard to Penetang with Midland, only a short drive away and appar- ently well satisfied with 10Ca1 option after five years of it. FIGHT TO A FINISH. Dresden, Forest, Kincardine, Mea- ford, Mount Forest, Pembroke and W’ngham are among the lively spots where both sides have their coats of! for the frayI and are in the battle un- til the last vote is polled. Arthur, Amherstburg, Eganville, Exeter, Fen- elon Falls” and Fergus are other places where the contests will be fought to a finish. Georgetown, which defeated local option when it was tried before, has the Township of Esquesing combined with it on the coming vote and is expected, with this addition, to car- ry the by-law. Morrisburg is to be tried again, the temperance people being particularly anxious to show Sir James Whitney how local option would work in. his home town. Port Stanley, which is rapidly‘ growing to be a popular summer re- sort, is to be tried on that account. The temperance people have many summer places included in their fights in various townships. THEY HAD IT ONCE Thamesville provides one of the most engaging contests of them all because the village had local option once but repealed it four years ago. The blue ribboners have returned to the attack and feel reasonably con- ;iident of a recapture. Of course a great struggle for the repeal is look- ed for in Owen Sound. Uxbridge, Cannington and Sunder- land are included in the fight in Brock township. In King township fights on the programme and some of them will be particularly keen. In Ontario there are 260 municipa- lities in which liquor licenses are in force and a. local option vote could be taken. The {act that in seventy- eight of these places the question is to be brought out points to the ac- tivity which the temperance people are displaying. There are 240 places under local option and only fifteen of these are endeavoring to get rid of it. To the Editor: Sin-“We have a law, and by our! law he ought to die," so said the unbelieviug Jews concerning J esus Christ. Do not we, as a. nation, but repeat the language at those wicked Jews ? We are all brethren, being the Children of one father, and one of our brothers yields so far to the temp- tations of the devil, and is so blindâ€" ed thereby that in his evil state he takes the life of a fellow man. He realizes his error, and after the man- ner of our first parent, he endeaVors to cover his sin. He is arrested and tried by a, jury of his peers and found “guilty of murder," and “we have a. law and by our law he ought to die” and so the sentence is “you will be ‘hanged by the neck until you are dead." Oh"? friends, think of ‘the hor- ror of it, that we, a, professed Chris- tian nation, have a law whereby a. man can be hanged by his neck until he is dead. Let us imagine ourselves in the- place of our prisoner. We have com- mitted an awful crime, we have tak- en that which we can never return again, we have slain our brother, and the mark of Cain is upon us and perhaps our hearts are yet hardened and we have not truly repented of our ofience and now our brothers are going to send us into an endless eternity, there to stand a sinful imâ€" penitent before the great Heavenly tribunal. Verily the language of the judge seems to burn as with fire, “May the Lord have mercy upon your soul," but at death repentence ends for “after this, the judgment," (Heb. 9, 27.) It is not the jury that hang the man, nor yet the judge, neither is it truly the hangman, for they are but servants. The people of the country make the laws through chosen rep- resentatives and so we have a law whereby a. man can be “hanged by the neck until he is dead” for a. cer- tain ofience. so it is the law makers who, indirectly, hang the man. Does it not appeal to us as a harsh law that we should deliberately kill him, who, in his blind evil state, al- so killed a man ? I believe there are many to whom this law is odious, and who would gladly see it sub- stituted. It is right that an offender should sufier for his ofience. and that according to its magnitude, and no doubt, the most atrocious crime a man can commit as to a. man is “murder,” and I believe he ought to sufler for his crime, but not by the forfeiture or that which'he can lose but once, even his life.

Toronto. “Little Miss Fix-It” LIONEL WALSH TUESDAY, NOV. 14211.1 are too much of barbarism to be practiced by a. professed Christian nation. Why cannot we substitute “imprisonment for life” {or “capital punishment ?" No doubt there are many who believe that to do away with capital punishment would but lead to the increase of capital of- fences. Let us consider the following stateâ€" ments taken from an article against capital punishment issued by the Religious Society of Friends in the State of Ohio. “With reference to the second obciect of legal punishment, its deterrent efiect, we find that in the four states of Rhode Island, Maine, Michigan and Wisconsin, where capi~ tal punishment is abolished, the num- ber of murderers confined in prison “at a. given time" averaged 66.5 to the million of population; while in the adjoining states of New Hampâ€" shire, Connecticut, Indiana and Illin- ois, Where capital punishment exists, the average confined murderers was‘ 83.25 per million of population. We? are firmly of the opinion, and the above comparison confirms us there- in, that so far from the death pen- alty being deterrent of crime, it is actually the reverse, for executions of cruelty or brutality. even if under the sanction of law, are without doubt demoralizing in their efiect. If the sanctity- of human life is violat- ed by law, the vicious may more readily assume to violate it without law. Thus it was discovered by in- vestigation, in an English prison, that of one hundred and sixty-seven convicts, one hundred and sixty-four :had . witnessed executions. Another objeCtion to the death penalty is the fact that mistakes not infrequently are made in the administration of law. That innocent men have been exe-l cuted has been proven beyond quesâ€"‘ tion, and can we imagine any legal act more horrible than the deli-ber- ate and relentless putting to death of a. man for a crime which he did not commit? No wonder that La- fayette should have declared, “I shall ask for the abolition of capital punishment until I have the infalliâ€" bility of) human\ judgment demon- strated to me.” Much more of a ;similar nature could be added, but §for brevity’s sake the foregoing statements and remarks will suffice. In the foregoing paragraphs we have considered capital punishment as objectionable as appealing to us as brethren and citizens, but can it not be said that the taking of hu- man life is anti-Christian ? How full of love and forgiVeness the gospel of Christ is. Christ Jesus, the Eternal sen of God declared that He “the Son of- Man is not come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them,” and is it to be believed that He will commission His servants, which all true Christians are, to do that which He declared was not a part of His mission ? His law is love, and it is by the exhibition of self sacrificâ€" ing love that His disciples are to be known. We are to do good to our enemies‘ and, seeing that the mur- derer is our enemy, let us do good to him- b-y endeavoring to reform him, to which end I believe we are justified In curtailing his liberty and ithus deprive him of power to'repeat [the ofience, but let us not kill him In the Jeyous Comedy of Merry Songs that Half the World is Singing With the remarkable cast of Singers, Dancers and Players, including the eccentric English Comedian TICKETS Reserved Seats 131: 3 rows in Gallery 75c, Ground Floor $1.00 and $1.50, Gallery Rush Seats 50 cents. who has love. When you are gathered in your m- ligious assemblies, and perhaps will repeat the language “Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive them that trespass against us," remember the poor, unfortunate, misled prisoner lying in his cell, whom we, by our law, haVe committed to the gal- lows for his trespass, and my prayer for you is, may our Heavenly Father forgive you and so open your under- standings and stir up love in your hearts that you will feel it your duty to preserve life, which is dear to us all, that your voices might be heard in opposition to the taking of human life now lawfully practiced among us. ers." A member of the Religion; Society of Friends, commonly called “Quak- RAW HILE WHIPS Peterboro Review: Police Magisâ€" trate Dumble vented his opinion this morning on the disposition that should be made of the habitual “bummers” of this city. He believes that many of them deliberately plan to live upon the city during the win- ter time, and made not the slightest provision in the summer for their maintenance during the cold period. “If every policeman were armed with a rawhide whip and allowed to use it freely upon such characters. and chase them right out of the city it would be a blessing, and would do away with necessity of making poor people who can ill afiord it, pay for {their support. ” George Hudson’s lucky star seems to be well in the ascendency and the Ifates are certainly looking after him. for if it had been anybody else who ;went through what he did last night gthere would have been a gang of men dragging the river this morning. 3 Mr. Hudson is one of the best known trappers of the district, and lives not far from the iron bn'dge.
