MARKDALE DURHAM.« Owns Sous», -The Plebiscite vote is now over and though unsatisfactory in its re- :sult, the peOple had the opportunity -of pronouncing their opinion on the abolition or continuance of the liquor traffic. The vote polled gave the prohibitionists a majority, according to latest returns as shown elsewhere of 11,636. Every province except Quebec grave favorable majorities, amounting in the aggregate to nearly 6,000. '1‘hi9,Quebec reduces by an adverse majority of over 51,000. Though the majority of voters fa-' "s'Ol‘ prohibition there is doubt as to whether prohibitory legislation will follow. In fact it is generally believ- ed that no action will be taken. The majority is not a majority of the to- tal vote, but why give the unpolled ‘vote to the anti-prohibitionists ? Que- hec, we are told, shouldn’t be coerc- ed, but what about all the other provinces? Must they be coerced. simply because Quebec says they don’t want to do without whiskey? This is just about the position as we seeit. Majoritiesshould rule. Every one had the Opportunity of voting, and those who didn’t, simply refused -or neglected to exercise their fran- chise. How would it be it' we had prohibition and a vote was taken on its repeal? Would the non-voters be classed with the prohibitionists? 'We doubt it. How was this principle 5 applied in repeals of the Dunkin and. Scott Act? The indifferent electors: didn’t count then, and why should they count this tune? But Quebec mustn’t be coerced. 'l‘he Temperance people don’t Want to be too soft, and give up the conflict simply be- cause Quebec and the politicians say 80. ‘ >'l‘.ho Grit gflicialsvwould like month- ly plebiscites now while the pap goes .10 the faithful. There is one gratifying result inas- much as all the provinces that once enjoyed any measure of prohibitory legislation have gone for it again. notwithstanding the direct taxation bugaboo, and all the political capital made out of the cry by the anti-pro- hibition party.

Rennie Best vs. Artemesia and Proton '1"ps was an interesting case in which a large amount of evidence was taken occupying three hours time of the court. The plaintiffs sued the Muni- cipalities for $225 damages for injury to a liOt'Se caused by a hole in plank- covering over a ditch opposite Proton Station Post Olfice on the town line between Artetuesia and Proton. The plaintilf claimed that the planking was on the regularly travelled road and that tho’ he knew of a hole being there he had exercised reasonable care to prevent an accident. The de- fendants claimed no responsibility and that the plaintiff was contribu- tory to the accident by driving over the planking in the dark knowing a hole to be there. and gave evidence l to prove that alongs de this planking ' which ran parallel with the road and was used as an entrance to the post otiice there was a roaalbed or travelled roadway of 26 feet to drive on. The J udge, however. ruled that the plain- tiff had taken reasonable care; that the planking was part of the travell- ed roadway and the municipalities were reSponsible. Judgment was given for the plaintiff for 820 and costs, each t’p. to pay half. Lucas Wright for plaintifi. A. G. McKay for defendants. Hooker vs, Proton fp.
