They have an oracular sound, and an aphoristic style, that mislead those who do not take the time and trouble neces- sary to investigate them. One of these is the trite, wouldâ€"be maxim, frequently used as an argument against the prohibition of the liquor traffic: “You cannot make men sober by legislation."

In reference to the arrest of Jake Smith and Kay in connection with the theft 'of shovels on the Wellingâ€" ton st storm sewer, full credit was not given to Constable Thornbury, The Post was informed that Mr. Thornbury handled the cgse from the start, made all the investigations laod secured the evihence which led to the arrest of the guilty ones This explanatia-n is made in justice to Mr. Thornbury. If the operation of law is to be ef- fective at all upon those who need it most, the counter-working agenCy must be removed. Law ought to make men sober, because intemper- ance is the deadliest foe to the car- rying out of the object of right 1e- gislation. It can do this only by putting down the drink traffic. Free- dom for the right means suppression of the wrong. CONSTABLE THORNBURY HANDL‘ED THE CASE Law does make men sober, when it finds them drunk. We would change the plan of doing it, because the protection to society, thus secured, is only temporary. We want it per- manent. Who ever heard of fines or imprisonment curing a. confirmed drunkard ? We complain of the pres- ent expensive system, because it is ineffectual, and plead for better and cheaper protection, by the simple method of LOCKING UP THE DRINK INSTEAD OF LOCKING UP THE DRUNKARDS. or fining -them generally at the expense of those who are already ‘the greatest, and often innocent sufierers. Law works against crime in two ways. It provides deterrent and re- formative penalties. It also provides preventative enlightenment and edu- cation. It assumes that intelligence will act in discernment of the nature of wrong, and moral principle will impel to avoidance of it, so it fur- nishes agencies for development of intelligence and moral principle. Drunkenness prevents appreciation of the penalties, and destroys the in- teiligence and moral principle. , been sent in a dish which in the course of its long journey had become broken and the fat juicy, fruity, pud- ding, with appetizing odor was loose A.

Of the 176, 97 are income voters. They thus failed to add 213 names. Four changes were made in qualifications on their add on list.
