The- Ontario Branch of the Dom- inion Alliance waited on the Ontar- io Government last week. and were very peremptory in their de- lmands for advanced temperance legislation to abolish the bars, the treating system. and drinking in clubs. lEailimg to move Mr. Whitney, and Mr. Hanna to any extent. they tried Mr. Rowell, the Opposition Leader, who some time ago was an avowed: champion of the temperance cause. They didn’t get much more satisfaction from his political camp, and have now decided not to form a third party, but to support candidates of either political stripe if they pledge themselves to support temperance legislation alomg the lines indicated. For some time the temperance people have been fighting in winning and losing battles. When they are knocked down. they always rise again, and renew the fight. In the local op- tion contests of the last seven or eight years they have been ex- tending their influence, gathering in municipality after municipality. till now considerably more than half the province is reckoned in the “dry" belt. Only the hard spots are left, and the future sic- lcess in local option contests will 'n-ot be so great as inf the past. The handicap caused by the three- fifths clause saved a number of municipalities from being gather- ed in by the temperance workers. Whether or not the clause referred to has been injurious or otherwise to the cause» of temperance, is a disputed question. Personally, We think that Where local option is once gained under the three fifths requirement, it is: more than prob- able that it will never be. repealed. That the fifteen municipalities voting on repeal last month ail secured more than a '50 per cent. vote in .favor of retaining local option, is lused as an {argument against the necessity of the three fifths clause, and is mo doufbt Worthy of consideration. .iOrn the other ha'ndt the repeal conteStS Will Mrs. J.

The Japanâ€" ese Trading Company are the largest losers. There is much talk about public ownership, but here is a respect in which the principle could well be appliedâ€"by assuming public ownership of the loss which at- tends and must be enforced in the destroying of animals unfit for food. It might .cost a great deal for \a few years, but it would cost the people less in the end than any system which does not ensure that all animals are condemned and de- stroyed which ought to be.â€"Wa1k- .e'rton Telescope. That being so would it not be Well to recognize the fact and all that is implied in it? A system cannot be considered satisfactory which forces packer, drover and breeder to seek by round-about methods to recover a loss and which tempts each in turn to try to avoid loss by having infected sold as food. There is probably no sure way of dealing with this matter except for the publicâ€"that that is the stateâ€"to assume all loss connected with the destruction of diseased cattle. By that means pack-er, drover and breeder would he enlisted on the side of the con- sumer in the effort to get Whole- some food and not other on the market. At ’present it seems to be to the interest of individuals to evade inspection and sell danger- ous food to people who do not suspect the danger they run nor the source of the evils that some- times befall them. It is pretty safe to say that none of them will bear the loss. but that it will ultimately be paid by the consuming public. No mat- ter how the loss may be appor- tioned, temporarily between pack- er. drover and breeder, it must in the end find its way imto the cost "of the eat food of the people. A warm discussion has been go- ing 'on 0.! late 33 to where’the loss must fall for such cattle as are pronounced to be diseased amd un- fi'. to be sold for food. The packer does not wamt to suffer the loss nor does the drover nor does the breeder. ‘ Do you know that more real danger lurks in a common cold than in any other of the common ailments.
