Editor and Proprietor. SANCTUM CIFTINGS Cleaning Shades THE To the strict local-optionist, the liquor traffic is the greatest curse ever thrust upon any country. To the liquor-man, local option presents itself iin much the same light. It therefore ! remains with the man who is moderate 1fin his views, as in everything else. iwho can take up the question from manner. the result has been the cause of ruption in many quarters. both sides of the-fence, to successfully determine the merits of eiLber party. It is a fact that a man has a right to his own opinion, be it good or bad, and in the casting of a ballot he is his own master. At the same time he should be open to conviction, and though a business he ever so bad it! must surely have its good points some- 1 where. Under the present Liquor License Act, a hotel keeper is bound bylaw to furnish accommodation to each and every traveller, who at any hour presents himself at his door and asks for it, providing he has the amount sufficient in King’s currency to pay for the service. Under local option, the hostelry is turned into What, to all intents and purposes, is a a private house. The proprietor, then, lean furnish accommodation to whom {he pleases, and if some weary traveler happens along he is entirely within his rights in refusing to grant him admit- tance. The hotel man is at liberty, if he feel so disposed, to single out at his dining room door those whom he cares not to supply with a meal, and may say to Jones, his friend, that there is lots of room inside, and, two seconds after, give Smith the same answer, adding to itâ€""but not for you,â€"â€"*et out.” i To people who know, adequate 30- l; conunodation for the traveling public ‘ 1 is a. matte! of vital impox tance to at '. i town, and one that should be looked a after caiefully ° and from what we'; ; glean from com ersations with people I;of local option principles, we axe oiv ing 1 fpublicity to private opinion that the; i downfall ot all temperance movements ' has been largely the fault of the socie- . ties themselves in lying back on their ! oars and being satisfied with the mere ‘, ' fact that the liquor interests have been | ' vanquished. ‘ _ 9 ! For many years Durham has been noted for its superior hotel :Lccammo- dation. and to the traveling public the service is rated among the best north of Toronto. \Vhether or not this reputation is to continue under local Option remains to be seen. It is defin- itely settled that the Middaugh House will close its doors. as Mr. Miehlhausen has deczded not to renew his lease. and so far, we have heard nothing as to his successor, if any. \Vith all, op- tionist or anti-optionist. Joe has earned the reputation of conducting a first- class house. and his removal will cause a vacancy that will not be filled in a day. It. remains, therefore, with the temperance element, who are respon- 1 sible for the change, to see that the . house is at once re-tenanted by a g first-class man who will see to it that I Durham's enviable reputation regard- l ing hotel accommodation is not marred in any way to dry. FOUR GENERATIONS Hotelkeepers themselves acknow-E ledge that the greatest curse withi which they have to contend is the: down-and-our boozer, and nine times I out of ten he is no good to them or‘ anybody else from a monetaiy point' of \ iew. To such people alone 15 due the great temperance waves that sweep: the country. and though liquor is a; hard master. it is questionable it a; =half-hearted local option campaign,I one that dies when the ballots are cast, is going to do much good to them or anyone else. 1-. So. South Grey Temperance Society, it‘s up to you to see that the hostelries in this place are kept up to standard. You put up a. brave fight and won. The hardest part of your work is still to come. and if you lie down and let the mere fact of your winning be your highest goal. the movement is not a successr Be up and doing, and don’t r by the change from wet The late Mr. Lawson.

You‘ll have to get into the| game yourself, and if the vanquishedl are not willing to supply the accom- modation, you want to he in a position of independence and force them, through the superiority of your own hotel, to follow suit or go out of busi- ness. If a good, first-class hotel can4 he run Without a bar, local option should be a success, prtwidiug, of course. the rate is not too high. If the hotel cannot be run Without a bar, and the tra-weling public deprived of good accommodation, you may rest fiassured that that same public, who spend nine-tenths of their lives board- ing out, will, right or wrong. cry out for old conditions, when they at least :could get a good meal at a moderate expense to themselves. And they’ll get them, too. The town council met in special ses- sion on Tuesday night for the transac- tion of general business. The first thing dealt with was the ammry site, which has been on the boards before. A conuuunication was read from Colonel Rorke, Thornbury, stating that the Government had selected the Garafraxa street site. in preference to the Brown site, and asking that the town immediately have the deed of the property made out to the Gmwn. The question was discussed at con- siderable length. and though the Mayor stated he thought the Board should be. ananimous. now that the Government’s preposition was before them, all the members of the council did not seem to be of the same opinion. Councillors Saunders and Kinneel thought the least the Mayor could have done when he knew the Govern- ment’s representative was coming, would have been to notify the mem- bers of the Property Committee in- stead of himself alone accompaning Lieut.-Colonel Galloway to represent the council. Though the Mayor assured the council that he had done nothing to influence, in any way. the Government inspector, he was not able to entirely allay the suspicions that he had. The matter was laid over, and will probably he brought» up at the regular meeting en Monday next. The insurance on the Oxford Cream Separator Company’s property was next discussed. but the insurance companies havens yet done nothing to adjust the matter. It will be argued out on \Ionday what action the town will take in the matter of recovering their insurance. Estimates on the cost of the new Garafraxa street bridge were received from the Engineer-,‘and were laid te- fnre the council, but will be taken up at the next meeting. Tenders will be asked for the building of the bridge, approaches and retaining walls as a whole or in part. \ ward on the new branch of the C.P.R. lunmng through this (listiict. \Ve know se\ eml men who applied for lwoxk and weie refused on the mound that they were filled up, and not with t the bone and muscle of our own coun- tiy either, but with fox eigneis, viz... ‘Austiians and Italians. “7e are in- Zformed by good autl' ority that a week My attention has recently been dir- Ontario foreigners have the preference in labor circles.

THE DURHAM CHRONICLE .2 HI) \Vinnipeg, Mam, April 26â€"Next week will see the putting into force of many of the drastic resttictions on the liquor traffic assented to at the last session of the Manitoba Legislaâ€" ture. Principal among these is the clause that, starting from May 1, no liquor shall be sold to private persons in districts already under local option, nor shall such persons keep or use 1c.uor in their houses, under severe MANITOBA TO BECOME “DRY”: penalties. Notice has already been served by: local brewers and. wine merchants that after the end of this month they can no longer deliver liquor to their patrons in the municipality of Kil- donon, which is just outside the city limits. and is under local option. Quite a number of country houses in that district will be affected, and the strict enforcement of this provision is likely tolead to a petition for the district immediately bordering cn Winnipeg for incorporation Within the city boundaries. Anothei p10vision going into efiect May 1 is that all bartenders must be licensed, as none but licensed men and hotel proprietors themselves will be per mitted to dispense liquor ref1esh ment. Over two hundred applications for licenses have ah eadv been put in. STRENUOUS CAMPAIGN. But the real fight for a “dry” or “wet” Manitoba is only beginning, and the fiISt great campaign will be fought ot the municipal elections nextl Monday. Seve1al Manitoba munici- palities are under local option law, having been established under, and Inotwithstanding two-thirds majority grequircd under the old legislation. :Now. h0\\evel, that unde1 the new :Act but a ba1e majmity of the \ote 11st1s1equ11'ed the1e1seve1y i11di(aâ€" tion that the great n111j01ity of the ninety 1111111icipalities whc1e local option is to be put to the vote next December will join the. ranks of the “dry" brigade. l The most considerable municipality lanOIVOd is the city of Portage la ~Pmirie. with a population of not far 3 short of 10,000, and a number of whole- sale and retail licenses besides a brewery. Here the Dominion Al- lianc. representing the prohibition movement, will concentrate its efi'Orts withaview to the capture of what hitherto has been regarded as a strong hold of the liquor interests in this Province. A DRY MANITOBA.‘ Headquarters have already been opened, and the general campaign for all the ninety municipalities affected will be conducted from there. But most of all, the local optionists desire f to capture the third city in the Province. \Vith a bare qualifying majority they have no fears about carrying the rural municipalities, but if they can win in Portage la Prairie this December. they will next year concentrate their efforts on the bigger city of Brandon. Thus in a little over two years they expect to have mapped out a “dry” Manitoba, with the single oasis of \Vinnipeg, and they expect then to be able to put up such a fight as to drive the liquor business entirely out of the Province, so that .1911 will see not a saloon doing bus- iness, nor a keg of beer surreptiously i on tap anywhere within the Province. l LIQUOR INTERESTS PREPARING. This programme, of course, antici- pates a possible revision at the hands [of the liquor interests, who are now ' 'ully alive to the threat to the “trade,” and are organizing all over the :Province. Besides the big brewing land importing interests of the Pro- |vince, for the most part centered in lVVinnipeg the liquor men have. millions invested in hotels and saloons i throughout the Province, and do not ' intend to let their livelihood go With- lout a struggle. As it is, the liquor l legislation passed at the last session is certainly the most drascic in force north of the international boundary, and the Western Canadian Province, as well as sister Provinces to the East, will follow the impending struggle With interest. A quiet wedding took place last evening at the residence of the Rev S. C. Graeb, of- the North Parkdale Presbyterian church, when Miss Bessie MacKay, of Durham, Ont., was married to Mr. W'iley Chapman. (late of Syrcuse, N. Y.) The bride who wore blue silk trimmed with pearls, and Irish lace, was attended by her sister, Miss Marie MacKay, who wore cream silk muslin. Mr. Alex Fother- ingham was best man.
