NO doubt he thought he was making a dab at telling the truth. rbut we just smiled at the remark, and told the air castle man we were all in the same boat. so far as want of money was concerned, There are men who could make money i“ they had enough to get a bit of a start, but to most of the wind jam~ mers. who are always talking what they would do if they {had a chance, and never make any use of the chance they have. would never do anything to amount to much. even under the most favor- able circumstances. If, ”by any misfortune, they happened 'to fall heir to a few thousand dollars, they wouldn’t know what to do with it, and an airship, in all prob- ability. would be one of their first purchases. The mam wlho makes a boast of what he can do, isn’t very likely to set the world on fire with what he does. he want of money is truly a great handicap, but the having 01 it in many cases would make tools. of the possessars.

Yon} w-axnt fihge ChrpBi-qlLe, and If the council can be forced to submit a local ooption by-law when petitioned by 25 percent. of the qualified voters, we :think it is only ma-ir that a similar peti- tion should uforce the bringing in of :a repeal by-law, and we go further in saying that if this is not already the law, thatsuch amendments should be made as to give them the same rights as the temperance people now have. Miss Griemson, daughter or! Mr. Wm. Grietrson, of Benti'nck, was driving south on Gamafraxa Street on Monday, when the horse took Knight, and swerving suddenly, up- set the cutter.

We don’t have to go In from Durham to 11nd young Mie- with lots of grit in them, though we must content that women who will stay to their poet und conquer an unmanageable hone are getting It is not the intention of . the Chronicle to condemn the action of either party. That the local option [by-Jaw was carried three years ago, on lists in which there were illegal voters, is a conten- tion 01 those favorable 'to repeal but the large majority in flavor of the by-law, even after ache doubt- in] names were cut off by a scru- tiny of the lists, left the matter quite lsafe against any possible chance of success on the part 01' the antiqtemperance party, unless in the interim, there is a large revulsion of feeling towaards go- ing back to the license system. This we cam hardly think to be true, and were a vote taken again we believe the temperance senti- ment would be quite as strong. as it was three years .ago. As to the advisability of .such ac- tion, there may be (room for con- siderable difference of opinion. A portion of the council contends that they lare .not compelled by law to submit ',a repeal by-law, even though petitioned by 25 per cent. of the electors. All admit, however, that a council is com- pelled to submit a local (option by-law on a similar petition, but the majority was opposed 'to .sub- mitting the repeal b -.law, and the matter was shelve for at least another year. Whatever ounr opinion may be, however, we believe the opponents of the local option measure will not be satisfied until they again test their strength at the polls. and even then they will not be willing to admit del‘eaat, unless the temperance sentiment is again shown by a three-fifths vote in its favor. Under these conditions we think than very ‘little harm could have resulted by allowing the repeal motion to have {been submitted. For «this reason, we do not think that membens of the council who voted {or a submis- sion of the repeal by-law overstep- ped their duty in any way, nor was their vote am evidence either for or against a return rto the license system. They may claim 'honestly that all they wanted was to give the people 'atnother chance, 'aaftter a three yeams' trial, under local op- tion, to show what they thought of it 'now, land to show by their vote, the popular Heeling of Ithe el- ectors who voted on ,the question three years ago, with a lull know- ledge of its good or evil. am" “â€"“Z'VEi-y' chi.
