" . ---- i In the plebiscite to be taken on Jan uary Ist, next, the women of Untario who are municipal voters have a right to express their opinion for or against iquor traffic. The ballots to be used by women will be printed on blue paper to' distin- gnish. them from the ballots used by men, They will be separately counted and in the return made after the vot ing, there will be shown the number of votes given "Yes" -by women voters, the number of votes given "No" b women voters, and the of women voters appearing by the list to be entitled to vote. The plebiscite will thus convey to the ltgislature information as to (1) the attitude of a section of the women of Ontario towards the liquor trattie, (2) the extent to which women in possess- ion of the franchise are willing to exercise that right. - Never before in the history of the country wag-there a situation fraught with so much limportance to the cause of temperance, the cause of home, the cause of women, It imposes upon our women voters and .all other women who'can influence them, a tremendous responsibility. It is very much better for our women that their vote should be counted separately. If. included simply in the total vote along with the men's, 1t would have no special value beyond the small extent to which it would swell the aggregate majority for prohibition. Counted by itself, it will be taken as w representation of what the vote of the women of the province would be. For example, if 40,000 women vote and 35,000 of these mark their ballots "Yes" it wilk be fair for us to say to the Legislature Assem- bly "Three fourths of the women of Ontario want prohibition." Hed you allowed them to vote you would prob- ably have bad 350,000 of them. saying "Yes" or a majority of 300,000 in favor of prohibition. The extent to which women vote in this contest will probably be taken as a measure of the willingness of the women of Ontario to exercise the right of voting on such questions. If the returns made show that only a small percentage of women voters go to the polls, this faet will be used by those op- posed to allowing such an expression of women's opinion, as un argument in favor of their position, It willy thus be seen that practically every woman on the yoter's list will be vuting for ten women who are not enfranchised. A woman's vote in the contest as an: expression of public ovinion will thes count for far more than a man's. In view of these, manifest facts, in view of the fearful extent. of the liquor evilin our provinge;--fer the sake of the many Ontario bomes that suffer sorely from the crushing curse of Ontario--in the name of all that is pure and govd and true which they now havea matchless opportunity to promote:--an earnest appeal is made tothe women voters of Ontario, to rise to the necessities of this erigis and réspond unhesitatingly to the challenge thus nrade to their Christian patriotism and womanhood. * Further, women who vote, and who do not vote, huve a vast responsibility in this emergency,in the fact of the mighty influence they possess with men who have the franchise. Let secure the fullest expression in the coming contest, of the high principle of the best mantiood ef our country. What has already. been stated must: show to every woman that at this time there has come to her a providential power, privilege and responsiblity in reference to the future welfare of eyery Ontario home. There is more than an Opportunity in ali this. Throughout God's universe, to every possibility of far-reaching good is linked a possibility of mistake and wrong.~ In proportion to the re sults for righteousness that must follow woman's earnest prayerful: per- formance of full duty at this time, is the awful possibility of injury to the cause of right that may result from any neglect or eyasion of. this duty. Those whoare not in sympathy with what is best, will be glad to seize upon any failure in this respect as arrgvi- dence of even more ingifference than it really represents. No Christian woman, specially no Christi woman voter, in this contest is a unit. Her work will conntin the outcome for a high percentage. .

In some © cases they may take charge of -literature circulation,. arrangements for public meetings, and other matters. which their own judgment will dictate. ' It would be impossible to lay down hard and fast rules te guide aH our workers. Their own wisdom will dictate "methods to suit different localities and circumstances. Let every possible effort for right be put forth, Let every possible vote be polled. J Logan. J.
