Vote for the Bylaws. Model School Exam. . Toronto For Mayor. A, S. HUNTER mnmre. Local Option is not prohibition. It takes from no man the privilege of procuring drink for his own use. No law that the Province can make can prevent the importation. of liquor from outside its bounds and the Local Option By Law does not re- strain any man from procuring such spirits as he may desire. Local Option is neither more nor less than the legal abolitiotvCthepetail trade in spirituous liquors. lt is the death blow to the system of treating and all its attendant evils, It strikes at the open drinking dens with all their accompanying vices. It's slogan is “Abulish the bar," and its power is in the awakening of the public con- science to the enormity of the evils with which the drinking dens have 'r, long made us disgustingly fami- tar. THE BAR-ROOM IS A WASTER. Supporters of Local Option object to the bar-room and its influence be- cause it destmys the noblest manhood of our country and mars our lairest prospects. Round every bar in town or country is spread a wide swath of mortgaged farms and blighted homes. When I was but a boy an old friend, whose life had been sadly marred by drink, came to see my father. Years had passed since they had met and, as they at last wished each other good bye, my, father said to_hini T, keep iiwa' iriui the drink Davie, ruins baith purse and person." As I was driving him to the station, l he repeated my father's words OVer and over, .t It ruins baith purse and' person." "Yes " he said to me “that's right Willie, it ruins baith purse and person." Many besides poor Davie have found out to their sorrow that "the glutton and the drunkard shall come to poverty and drowsiness shall clothe a man with rags " In town and county the bar- room is the rallying centre of the worst elements in the community and is the culture ground for pro- fanity, vulgarity and low political intrigue. No self respecting man tp-day will dare to stand before an intelligent audience to champion the bar. Nobody defends its drink de- basing powers and even the adver- tisements in the interests of the liquor trade put on the garb of the saint and appear as if solicitous for the sobriety of the young men, whom all the while they are dnvmg to ruin. OBJECTION TO LOCAL OPTION. Since the degrading scenes around ' the bar-room so often obtruded on our} View. find no defenders, and since! even the liquor sellers have turned temperance lecturers, the centre of the fight is as to whether Local Option is likely to help the cause of sobriety which both parties profess to have at heart. It is hardly necessary to say any- thing about the class of objections that have appeared in many papers as unsigned advertisements under! such titles as "The Blind Pig " orl Decent Bar," Local Option makes; drunkards," “Local Option ruins: Young Men , and such like. The; Globe takes its fee for circulating! such vile rubbish and then Pilate- like on its editorial page washes its hands of all responsibility for spread- ing such indecent assertions on the! plea that it was well paid for doing it, Assertions that are put before the' public weighted by such abject apologies need not occupy our 'i'i) tention. _ . I The objections from the loss oi revenue are scarcely more worthy of notice. li our town pays out 330000 or $40000 a year for drink what shall it be prohted if out of this large ex- penditure there be added to the town revenua $309 52? Need I asx a school as to the profit and loss of a Concern in which there is 99 cts of a loss for every cent that is gained. That hotel accommodation will be provided and improved under Local Option there is not the shadow of a doubt, though if a state of war should ensue there may be some temporary inconvenience. The only objection worthy of the name that has been presented is that the act, if put in force, will not ac- com plish what we desire. Testimonies from all quarters have appeared in the press. I have had conversations and correspondence with men who know the conditions in places where it is in force. I have read much that has been said on both ‘sides and the conclusion to which the evidence from Owen Sound, Midland, Char. lottetown, Toronto Junction and oth- er places points is plain and unmis- takable. _ The law works no miracles. It does not makes a man sober against his will. It does not stop all drink. ing or even all selling of drink. It does not implant priuoples oi truth and honor where these before were wanting, but it w men who want to he sober relief from the temptation Bv REV. WM.

When it ”been in operation it has Jemoyed much of the drunkenness and has awakened in all classes a sense of the enormity of the evils with which we are face to face. On the whole the evidence is convincing that business interests have not suffered, that many have been helped to a better life, and that with time :fstill greater benefits may be looked Ot'. 80W TO VOTE. Come out early and manfully ex- ercise the privilege of casting your vote. People that need to be ambu- lanced all the way are little strength either to church or state, When you come to the polling booth, mark your ballot straight in the space allotted for the purpose. Those who hug the dividing line have little comfort themselves and are useless to either party. Roeve--Wtutcr Huslie. acclnmntiox Hep. 1teeye-- Walter Ferguson, Johr McArthur. council-O, Hunter. Geo.
