Balfour, pastor of Queen- lst. church received a telegram on Wednesday announcing the death in SaskatcheWan of Mr. James Shea, a. [well known resident of the east ward. The message was received from a son of the deceased (Sydney Shea) ; I who is a iomesteader, and was sent , I from Saskatoon. It appears that the late Mr. Shea Iwas fatally injured while working on {a separator, but the nature of the, WWW linjuries received was, of course, not i Did It Ever Occur to You 1.

Mr. Balfour and Mrs. Bal- four broke the sad news to Mrs. Shea. TWO daughters of the deceased arrived home from Toronto last ev- ' ening. The news of Mr. Shea’s untimely death will be received with regret. He went west about three months ago. MM Open Bar “Chestnuts” Statistics clearly prove that this theory has no foundation. The spread in Canada of what is popularly call- ed ‘Local Option’ meaning thereby1 . local prohibition, has coincided with a steady decrease in the consumption both of whiskey and beer. Especially has whiskey drinking decreased. In the year 1874 our people consumed 1,994 gallone for every thousand of the populationâ€"that is two gallons I _ each, counting all women, children and babies. In 1911 the consumption had gone down to 859 per thousand The liquor people claim that local l .2} option is the old Scott Act over again; that the Scott Act was afail- ure, and local option would be a fail- ure also. Now the Scott Act was far from being a failure, but being a ho- ment was the reason of its being dropped.

Some men will do anything and go Ianywhere to get liquor, but the young ! man who starts dunking for com- pany ’s sake, in the well lighted bar, 'will not as a rule crawl into a cel- lar to get a drink, and many a weak .man who cannot resist the tempta- ltion, when it is flaunted before him, "waelcomes the protection which local loption affords him by making it dif- lficult to indulge his appetite. Related ito this liquor argument is the lstatement that local option encour- Iages home drinking, because men who {want to drink will buy bottles and "Y‘take them home. Now anyone who lhas had much to do with drinking amen knows that the man Who buys lthe bottle of liquor to take it home E m ill and _E7 E not the class that helps business but i the class which puts the town toi pig in her lap, just balancing the} trouble and etnense. Then, of course. the barroom advo- silfy its evils. Of course there is lis usually the man who has already indulged at the bar. It is indeed a matter of experience that the lessen- ing of bar drinking means the lessen- ing of home drinking also. The treat- #ling system, which is the root of most‘. drunkenness, is killed by closing the bars. A favorite mic-statement by the li- quor men is that local option will lower the character of hotel accom- modation or deprive the public of ‘such accommodation altogether. The very reverse has been the result in .numberless places where local optiOn as been adopted. The organ grinder 11 110 has no monkey has to have a etter organ. The hotel which has no . bar to li1e by must give heed to its Wraccmnmodatioh and service. If the li- quor seller does not know how to run a good hotel there are other peo- 'ple who can do it. In some places the temperance peop le have bought 0:11; the hotels and found those who could conduct them on a better scale than ever before. In others the hotel men have kept on the hotel {without the bar. In both cases the a", business has been operated by the ., 11,11 81 McIntyrefl n {I purpose of making money by provid- ling the public with accommodation, iand has generally been carried on 1lmore efficiently than when it Was operated simply for the purpose of qualifying the hotelkeeper for a li- cense to sell liquor. Many hotel [guests have expressed their satisfac- ‘tion at the increased decency, com- fort, convenience, and safety which has accrued to hotels through the de- lpletion of the bars. A very stupid claim has also been made in some quarters, that local prohibition, while it lessens beer drinking, increases whiskey drinking. . Worm-.- .
