THE SITUA'riON IN ONTARIO

A good Buiny friends of the temper-
am e cause In different parts oi the
Dominion, and In other countries, an>
at present watching with much Inter-
est the battle that Is being waged in
the Province of '^ntarlo. Some of
tbeiii are desirous o. obtaining r
exact Information as to the origin
nature of the present cont< H, and .ae
following facts are i»ii c " Inr their
Infofmalon :

The re-<pectl' . jwers of the Domln-
*on Parliament and the Provincial
Legislatures in the matter of liquor
legislation is not clearly defined by
statute. It has been generally con-
ceded that the Dominion Parliament
has power to enact prohibitory legis-
lation. Under this power Parliament
passed the Canada Temperance Act,
providing for prohibition by popular
vote in cities and counties. It has
also been generally conceded that
provinces have full pov, er to license
and regulate the liquor traffic within
their own territorial limits. Regula-
tion or limitation Implies a measure
of prohibition. How far a province
has authority to go in this direction
has been the prini-iial point In dis-
pute.

Because of the uncertainty of this
power the Ontario L ?lslaiure, a num-
ber of years ago, declined to pass a
general provincial prohib.tion law,
but memorializfd the Dominion Par-
liament to enact such a law for the
Dominion. The Ontario Leg'slature,
however, enacted a law empowering
municipalities to pass by-laws prohi-
biting the retail sale of liquor within
their own limits.

In 1H93 many petitions were received
by the Ontario Legislature asking for
the taking of <i vote of the electors
upon the question of prohibition. At
ihi' name time Mr. O. K. Marter. M.P.P.,
Introduced Into the Legislature a Bi"
to prohibit the retail sale of intoxlc .-
Ing llqiiG.s throughout the Province.
The Government opposed the Bill od
the ground of uncertainty as to th»
Le);islature's power to pass such a
law, and proposed that an effort
should be made to ascertain the exact
extent of the i.iegislature's Jurisdic-
tion by submitting the question to the
courts of law.

The I.#Ki8lature approved the Gov-
ernment plan, and passed an Act pro-
viding for the taking of a ballot vote-
of the electors on the question : " Are-
you In favor of the immediate prohi-
bition by law of the importaf m,
manufacure, and sale of intoxlc ng
liquors as a beverage ?" This irote
was taken on January 4th, 1894, wheo
the municipal elections were being
held, and resulted as follows :

Men. Women. Total.
Votes " Yes " 180,087 12.402 192,489
Votes " No " 108,494 Z.T20 110.720

Shortly after the taking of this vote
a great convention of prohibition
workers, held in the city of Toronto,
appointed a deputation to wait upon
the Ontario Government, and " re-
spectfully request them to declare In
favor of the total prohibition of the'
traffic In intoxicating liquor to the full
extent of the power vested in the'
Legislature."

The deputation from the convention
was received by the then Premier and

THE CAMPAIGN MANUAL.

Attorney-General, Sir Oliver Mowat,
and four other members of the Gov-
ernment. The views of the conven-
tion were laid before these gentlemen,
and In response the Attorney-General
expressed his deep sense of the Im-
portance of the prohibition movement
and the strength of public sentiment
behind it as evidenced in the plebiscite,
the result of which was eminently
satisfactory. He then read to the
deputation the following statement :

'■ If the decision of the Privy Coun-
cil should be that the Province has the
Jurisdiction to pass a prohibitory
liquor law as respects the sale of
Intoxicating liquor, I will introduce
such a bill in the following session, if
I am then at the head of the Govern-
ment.

" If the decision of the Privy Coun-
cil is that the Province has jurisdic-
tion to pass only a partial prohibitory
liquor law, I will introduce such a pro-
hibitory bill as the decision will war-
rant, unless the partial prohibitory
power Is so limited as to be ineffective
from a temperance standpoint."

On different occasions since that
time leaders of the Provincial Gov-
ernment declared their adhesion to
the policy set out by Sir Oliver
Mowat.

In the meantime, the Government
had framed and submitted to the On-
tario Court of Appeal, a series of
questions Intended to ascertain the ex-
tent of the power of the Province in
the matter of liquor legislation. The .
Dominion Grovernment submitted the
same questions to the Supreme Court
of Canada and obtained a decision up-
on them, which decision was appealed
to the Judicial Committee of the Im-
perial Privy Council. The judgment
of the Privy Council was a lengthy
deliverance, but gave a direct answer
to only one of the questions submitted.
That question related to the Act giv-
ing municipalities power to locally
prohibit the retail sale of intoxicatlna

liquor. The Judgment stated further
that in the argument upholding this
decision, would be found a sufficient
answer to the question of whether or
not a local legislature had power to
prohibit the sale of liquor throughout
the Province. The Ontario Govern-
ment came to Lhe conclusion that the
Judgment did not definitely settle this
important question, and no further
prohibitory legislation was enacted for
some time.

In 1898 the Dominion Parliament
took a plebiscite of the electors of the
whole Dominion upon the question of
total prohibition. The vote polled
was as follows :

For prohibition 278,380

Anainst prohibition .. 264,693

In this voting the results obtained
in the Province of Ontario were as
follows :

For prohibition 154,498

Against prohibition .. 115,284

In the year 1900 the Legislature of
the Province of Manitoba, taking a
view of the Privy Council decision,
different from the opinion of the On-
tario Government, passed an Act pro-
hibiting the sale of intoxicating liquor
throughout the Province nf Manitoba,
except for medicinal, mechanical, and
scientific purposes.

Manitolja had :tlso by a plebiscite
declared in favor of prohibition in the
year 1S91', tlio vote taken standing:

For prohibition 19,637

Against prohibition . . 637

In the Dominion plebiscite of 189S
the vote in Manitoba was :

For prohibition 12,419

Against prohibition .. 2,978

The Act passed by the Manitoba
Legislature was not brought into
operation immediately. The question
of its constitutionality was submitted

THE CAMPAIGN MANUAL.

to the Manitoba Court of King's
Bench which declared It unconstitu-
tional. An appeal against this de-
cision was taken to the Judicial Com-
mittee of the Imperial Privy Council,
which tribunal. In a judgment ren-
dered in November, 1901, upheld the
Manitoba Llqour Law, and declared it
to be within the limits of the power
of the Province.

Encouraged by this action, a depu-
tation of Ontario prohibitionists
waited upon the Government of their
Province and urged the carrying out
of the promise given in 1894 by the
then Premier, Sir Oliver Mowat. The
Government considered the matter,
and Introduced Into the Legislature
at the session of 1902, a bill similar
to the act which had been passed by
the Legislature of Manitoba, but mak-
ing the coming into force of the mea-
sure dependent upon the ratification
of the bill by sixty per cent, of the
electors voting thereon at a special
elertion to be held on October 14, 1902.
Prohibition workers objected strong-
ly to the proposal that so large a ma-
jority of the votes cast should be re-
quired for ratification of the measure.
They also objected to the time pro-
posed for the voting, as being too early
in the season to admit of an effective
campaign. They urged the Govern-
ment to make the voting simultaneous
with the municipal elections in Janu-
ary, 1903, and to provide that the Act
should come Into operation if ratified
by a majority of the electors voting
upon the question.

The Government amended the Bill
so as to provide that ratification
would require a majority of the votes
polled on the question providing such
nialority would be equal to a majority
of the votes polled at the seneral elec-
tion of 1898. Another a; lendment

fixed the 4th of December, 1902, as the
day of voting.

In the Legislature, Mr. G. P. Marter,
representing the views of the pro-
hibitionists, moved to amend the bill
so as to provide that ratification
should require a simple majority of
the votes cast. This proposal was
defeated, only four members voting In
its favor. He also moved to fix the
date of voting on the day of the muni-
cipal elections for 1903. Only four
votes were cast in favor of this
amendment. The bill providing fof
prohibition, conditional upon ratifica-
tion as stated, was then passed by the
Legislature on a party division.

Apart from the voting conditions
and the time fixed for voting, the act
passed by the Legislature met with
the cordial approval of the great ma-
jority of friends of prohibition in the
Province of Ontario. It is a thorough-
going measure providing for the pro-
hibition of the sale of liquor as far as
the ascertained power of the Province
will permit. Its principal provisions
have already been set out in The
Pioneer, and, if adopted, it will be a
valuable measure of prohibitory legis-
lation, and will go into operation on
May 1st, 1904.

The situation, then, in Ontario Is
this : A vote of the electors will be
taken on December 4th of the present
year, on the question of the adoption
of a law prohibiting the retail sale of
liquor except for medicinal, mechani-
cal, and scientific purposes. To bring
this law Into operation, it is necessary
for the prohibitionists to poll a ma-
jority of the votes cast, and to poll
not less than 212,739 votes. ' The
liquor party are making a desperate
fight to prevent the ratification of the
law. and friends of temperance are
making a strenuous effort to secure Its
ratification.

THE CAMPAIGN MANUAL.

SUMMARY OF THE ONTARIO LIQUOR ACT. 1902

The following paragraphs contain a
carefully prepared summary of the
most Important features of the Act
upon which the electors of the Pro-
vince of Ontario will vote on Decem-
ber 4th next :

The Ontario Liquor Act, 1902, con-
sists of two parts. Part I. provides
the machinery for taking a vote of
the electors on the question of the
adoption of the second part, and de-
clares that the second part shall be
brought into force if it is approved
by a majority of the votes cast upon
the question, provided that the num-
ber of such approving votes is also a
majority of the number of votes that
were cast at the general provincial
election of 1898.

Part II. of the Act is a law pro-
hibiting the selling, giving or keep-
ing for sale of intoxicating liquor, as
far as such prohibition is within the
jurisdiction of the Legislature. The
principal provisions of this law are
as follows :

Prohibition

The giving or selling or bartering
or keeping for sale of intoxicating
liquor is entirely prohibited except un-
der the conditions and for the pur-
poses hereinafter set out.

To make the meaning of the law
clear, a sharp distinction is made by
the Act between a " private dwelling
house," and a place of any other kind.
All sale or barter of liquor is pro
hibitfd except sale by licensed drug-
gists for certain purposes considered
necessary, and all giving of liquor is
prohibited except the giving for such
purposes or the giving in a private
house to an adult friend of liquor

that has not been unlawfully pro-
cured.

" A private dwelling house " is a
. pparate dwelling, with a separate en-
trance, used exclusively as a private
residence, and not connected by any
door or passage with any shop, fac-
tory, restaurant, hotel, boarding-house
or other place of a public character or
office, excepting in the case of the
private house of a duly qualified
physician, dentist, or veterinary sur-
geon, whose house may contain or
communicate with his office.

The expression " liquor," as used in
this Act is declared to mean any fer-
mented spirituous or malt liquor, and
any I'rinkable liquor which is intoxi-
catin

Permissions

Sale and keeping for sale are per-
mitted for medicinal, mechanical,
scientific, and sacramental purposes
only. Sale is only by such duly quali-
fied druggists as are specially licensed
by the Government to sell.

There are two kinds of license ; (1)
" Wholesale druggists' license," and
(2) " Retail druggists' license."

A wholesale druggists' license can
only be granted to a party in exclu-
sively wholesale druggist business. It
authorizes sale in quantities of not
more than ten gallons for mechanical
or scientific purposes, or not more
than five gallons to a retail licensed
druggist or duly qualified medi( al prac-
titioner.

A retail druggist's license permits
sale only for medicinal purposes, or
of wine for sacramental purposes.

A duly qualified physician may have
in his possession liquor needful for

THE CAMPAIGN MANUAL.

bis practice not exceeding two quarts,
a duly registered dentist liquor need-
ful for his practice, not exceeding one
pint, a duly qualified veterinary sur-
geon liquor needful for his practice
not exceeding one gallon, a clergy-
man wine for sacramental purposes
not exceeding two gallons, and a per-
son engaged In mechanical or scientific
pursuits alcohol needful in his busi-
ness not exceeding ten gallons. An
Incorporated public hospital may have
liquor for patients, and a sick per-
son may have in his room liquor pre-
scribed by a physician.

Licenses

The law concerning who may be per-
mitted to sell, is very strict. All ap-
plications from druggists for licenses
must be reported upon by inspectors,
and publicly advertised. Ratepayers
living near premises for which licenses
are sought may file objections, and a
license will be refused if it is shown
that the applicant is an improper per-
son, or has not complied with the re-
quired conditions, or has been con-
victed within three years of violating
any liquor law. A complaint of ten
ratepayers against a license granted
may be made to a county judge, who
shall investigate, and if any of the
disqualifications named are proved,
the license shall be cancelled. Every
licensed druggist must give bonds of
himself and two others, that he will
obey the law.

Restrictions

No wholesale druggist may sell al-
cohol for mechanical or scientific pur-
poses except on affidavit of applicant
describing the lawful purpose for
which it Is required.

No wholesale druggist may sell
between seven Saturday night and

seven Monday morning, nor after eight
any night, nor before seven any morn-
ing.

Every licensed druggist must keep a
complete record of every sale made,
and must file every prescription, cer-
tificate, and request that he receives,
and these documents shall always be
open for inspection by any person for
at least one year.

Every licensed druggist shall send
to the Chief Inspector every six
months a sworn statement in detail
of all sales that he has made.

No retail licensed druggist shall sell
any liquor for medicinal purposes ex-
cept on prescription of a regularly
qualified physician, nor wine for sac-
ramental purposes, except on certifi-
cate of a clergyman.

No hospital shall allow use of liquor
cxc('!)t by proper physician's pre-
scription. No dentist, veterinary
surgeon or clergyman shall permit
use or consumption except for the
lawful purpose for which it was pro-
cured. No liquor prescribed by a phy-
sician shall be consumed by any per-
son for whom it was not prescribed.

No liquor shall be consumed on a
licensed druggist's premises. No
person shall deliver liquor unlawfully
purchased. No physician shall give
a prescription to permit evasion of
the law. No person shall purchase
liquor from any one not authorized
to sell. No person shall knowingly
consume liquor unlawfully procured.

Clubs

Any society or club, incorporated or
nlncorporated, and any meni'>>"r,
.1 (fleer, or servant thereof, or pe »n
resorting thereto, who sell or barters,
or therein gives liquor to any person,
and any one who directly or Indirectly
keeps or assists or abets in getting or

THE CAMPAIGN MANUAL.

maintaining any clubhouse or society
room or hall or other place where
liquor is received or kept to be used,
given or sold as a beverage, or dis-
tributed among the members by any
means whatever, shall be held to have
•:'ommitted an offence against this Act,
and shall be subject to the maximum
penalties which the Act imposes.
Proof of consumption or intended
consumption of liquor on such prem-
ises by any person, shall be conclusive
evidence of the violation of thp law.
Any occupant of premises where
liquor is thus illegally used, or any
person resorting thereto, shall be con-
sidered a violator of the law. If the
occupant of any private dwelling
house, or of any part of such house.
Is convicted of a violation of the Act
then that house shall not afterwards
be considered a private dwelling
house as long as he resides there.

Penalties

For selling or giving liquor, or
keeping liquor for sale, contrary to
the law, whether by a person not duly
licensed or by a licensed druggist in
unlawful places or hours, or to per-
sons to whom it Is not lawful to sell,
the penalties are : For a first offence
a fine of not less than $200 nor more
than 11,000, and in default of imme-
diate payment, imprlsonnent for not
less than three nor more than six
months ; for a second or any subse-
quent offence imprisonment for not
less than six nor moro than twelve
months.

For consuming or permitting the
consumption of liquor on premises on
which it has been lawfully sold, or for
failure by a licensed druggi.it to keep
or show a record of sales, or the pre-
scriptions or certificates on which sales
were made, or for the selling or giving

of liquor by a licensed druggist with-
out requiring a proper prescription or
certificate, or for giving as a phy-
sician a prescription to permit evasion
of the law, or for improperly giving
liquor to a minor, or for the improper
giving of liquor by a physician, den-
tist, or veterinary surgeon, the penal-
ties are : For a first offence a fine of
not less than $50, nor more than $300.
and in default of immediate payment,
imprisonment for not lees than two
nor more than four months ; for a
second or any subsequent offence a
fine of not less than $100 nor more
than $500, and in default of immediate
payment Imprisonment for not less
than four, nor more than eight
months.

If any licensed druggist, or any per-
son who acted under his instructions,
or with his consent, is convicted of a
second offence, such druggljts' license
becomes forfeited, and he becomes dis-
qualified for again becoming a licensee
for three years. A convicting judge
or magistrate may, in hid discretion,
declare forfeited the license of any
licensed druggist convicted of a first
offence of unlawful selling, or giving
or keeping for sale.

Enforcement

The Government shall appoint a
Chief Inspector for the Province and
a local inspector for each electoral dis-
trict in the Province, or more local
inspectors, if needful, v' ose duty it
shall W to administer the law and to
prosecute persons offending against its
provisions. All these inspectors will
act directly under the Government
without any intervening boards of
commission f>rs.

Any policeman, constable, or other
person has also authority to laj in-
formations, and to prosecute person.s

THE CAMPAIGN MANUAL.

w' trlolate the provision of this
Act.

Any inspector, policeman, or con-
stable may, at any time, enter and
search any place other than a private
house, for the purpose of detecting or
preventing violation of this Act.

Any judge or mafelstrate may, on
proper Information, Issued a warrant
authorizing any constable or inspec-
tor to enter and search, by force, if
needful, any place in which it is sus-
pected that liquor is unlawfully kept
for sale. Such liquor, if on unlicensed
premises, may be seized, and if a con-
viction is made, may be destroyed or
sold for proper purposes as the Gov-
ernment may direct.

Brewers and Distillers ^

Because the a'lthorlty of the I o-
vlncial Lcr:'slature does not extend be-
yond the limits 'f the Province, this
Act does not prohibit sales of liquor
by brewers, distillers, or exporters in
Ontario to persons outside the Pro-
vince. It does not prohibit brewers
or distillers selling to \censed drug-
gists. It does prohibit all sale by
brewers, distillers, or expo-ters to any
other persons, or in any premises con-
nected with any private dweM'ng. In
regard to such prohibited salt, and to
drinking or permitting drinking on
premifer-, t'ne law is the same for brew-
ers ami distllle.s as for other persons.

WHO MAY VOTE

A good many inquiries have been
received concerning the voting qualiti-
cation in the coming Referendum.
That qualification is definitely set ou*^,
in Section 3 of the Ontario Liquor Act,
which is in the following terms :

The persons entitled to vote upon
the said question shall be all persons
whose names shall appear on the vot-
ers' lists used, or which would have
l)een used, had a poll been held at
next general election of members to
serve In the Legislative Assembly,
held after the passing of this Act, as
entitled to ^-jtt. and who were entitled
to vote at the said election, and who
shall have been from the date of the
said general election and until the
date of voting on the said question
residents of ard domiciled in the Pro-
vince of Ontario, and whose names
are duly entered in the poll books to

be used for the purpose of the voting
under this Act.

From this it will be seen that the
persons entitled to vote in the Refer-
endum are tho<»e whose names are on
the voters' lists that were used in the
general provincial election held on
May 29th last, providing that they
have resided in the Province of On-
tario from the date of such p:.ineral
election until December Ith.

Those wh" have moved from one
part of the Province to another, if
otherwise entitled to vote, will hav.'
a right to vote at the place at which
they would have voted if they had not
removed. Persons who have moved
to some place outside of the Province
of Ontario have lost their votes

THE CAMPiMON MANUAL

THE VOTE NEEDED

There seems to be still among some
of our friends a misunderstanding in
relation to the vote actually required
on December 4th next, to secure pro-
hibition, and also as to whether or
not a sufficient vote will ensure the
coming into force of the prohibitory
law without further action of the
Legislature.

These questions are definitely dis-
posed .of by Sections 103 and 104 of
the Ontario Liquor Act, which read
as follows :

" Within thirty days alter the re-
ceipt of the last re urns the Clerk of
the Crown in Chancery shall also pub-
lish in The Ontario Gazette a summary
of all the returns of the voting under
this Act, together with such other par-
ticulars as to such voting as the Lieu-
tenant-Governor in Council may
direct.

"In case it appears from the said
summary that a majority of the
votes on the said question are in the
affirmative, and that the number of
votes on the said question in the
affirmative exceeds one-half of the
number of votes certified to by the
Clerk of the Crown in Chancery as
hereinafter mentioned, the Lieuten-
ant-Governor in Council shall Issue
his Proclamation in The Ontario
Gazette declaring Part IL of this Act
to be in force on, from and after the
first day of May, 1904. And Part IL
of this Act shall come into force and
take effect on. from, and after the
said date accordingly.

" The Clerk of the Crown in Chan-
cery shall certify under his hand and
seal to the Lieutenant-Governor in
Council the total number of votes ar-
rived at by adding together (1) the
votes polled for all the candidates at
the general election of members to
serve in the Legislative Assembly in
the year 1898. except in the electoral
district of Ottawa ; (2) one-half of
the votes polled for all the candidates
In the said Electoral District of Ot-

tawa, and (3) the number of vote*
polled at the last contested election
held prior to the said general election
In every electoral district for which t.
candidate was returned in 1898 bv ac-
clamation."

The total number of votes polled and
counted for all candidates in the gen-
eral election of 1898, exclusive of
those polled in the electoral district
of Ottawa, was 409,980. The num-
ber of votes polled and counted for
candidates in the electoral district of
Ottawa was 17,844.

Elections were by acclamation in
two electoral districts. South Bruce
and Prescott, and the total number of
votes polled and counted for candi-
dates in these districts at the last
preceding elections was 6,543.

It follows, therefore, that the num-
ber of votes to be certified under the
last quoted clause of the statute is
to be determined as follows :

Votes at election 1898. out-
side Ottawa 409,980

One-half votes in Ottawa
District 8,922

Last votes ir. acclamation
districts (;..54:j

Total 425,445-

Vote necessary to win in
Referendum 212,723

This vote will not bring prohibition
into operation unless it is a majority
of the votes cast in the referendum.

The liquor party, however, cannot
equal It. If the temperance people
obtain it. they will secure provinciah
prohibition.

A CALL TO ARMS

\fpca.l of Alliance Executive
Pconibition fo. Onario -Votinj; December 4ih, J902

The j:xecutlve Committee of tie
Ontario Branch of the Dominion Alli-
ance has issued an appeal to pro-
hibition workers throughout the Pro-
vince for immediate action in prepar-
ation for the great battle that will
'be fought out on December 4th.

This ringing call to arms contains
also many valuable suggeationa and
much information concerning cam-
paign methods. It is in full as fol-
lows :

To the Friends of Temperance in On-
tario :
Voting on the question of the .id ip-
tion of The Ontario Liquor \ot will
take place on Dec. 4th next when the
electors of this Province will be
called upon to say whether or not
they approve of the prohibition of the
liquor traffic as far as a provincial
legislature has power to prohibit It.
It is not needful, now, to irap'iasize
the importance of this crisis. We
appeal to men and women who under-
stand the responsibility it itupi.^es.
There is not a moment to spir2. Do
your best, and do it quickly, for the
sake of the homes that will be deso-
lated and the innocence and weak-
ness that are doomed to ruin and
shame if the traffic in strong dvink
goes on.

The Situation

The Act to be voted upon is a pro-
hibitory law of the most complete
and comprehensive character that
the limits of provincial jurisdiction
will permit. It is not fair to com-
pare it with the Scott Act or any
other measure more local in its na-
ture or less stringent in its provisions.
It is an honest attempt to devise the

most effective kind of a prohibitory
law. It was the work of skilled and
experienced professional men In Mani-
toba, who were also earnest advocates
of total prohibition, and it is prob-
ably the most thorough-going legisla-
tion of the kind in existence.

It will go into operation provided
the vo':e in favor of it is a majority
of the votes cast upon the question,
and is alsj ec^aal to a majority of the
votes cast in the general provincial
election of 180? The latter condition
requires tb*' polling of 212,723 votes.

OrginUation

Arrangements have been made for
the organization of central commit-
tees for countii 3 or electoral dlstrlota.
The officers of these bodies will be
prompt to give adv'.e and assistance
to workers in their respective dis-
tricts. It is their duty to see thbt
there is an organization in every
municipality.

There must, however, be also a
local committee or union of workers
in every township, village, town and
city. It is under the direction of
these local organizations that the
great part of the campaign work must
be carried on. If there is any lo-
cality in which such a body has not
been formed, our friends should im-
mediately take steps to secure organ-
ization, uniting in this work all
classes of the community. This is
urgent. If any one is in doubt as
to plans or methods, let him write
to F. S. Speiice, Toronto, and full in-
formation will be sent by return mail.
The most important duty devolving
upon H8 is the seeing that the vote
friendly to us is polled. Full detailed
instructions concerning this work
will be issued later on. In the mean-
time the most urgent matter requir-

THE CAMPAIGN MANUAL.

Ing attention Is thorough organization
to secure a canvass of the electors,
the holding of public meetings, and
the circulation of literature.

Cwvsiilng

There ought to be a systematic
canvass of all the voters. Each
canvasser should have a list of the
persons whom It Is his duty to see.
Each voter should be called upon by
some one likely to have personal Influ-
ence with him. No other work can
take the place of this direct personal
appeal. Canvassers must wisely pre-
sent tL Ir case as circumstances war-
rant, specially avoiding Irritating con-
troversy. Canvassers should make
a record of the results of their work
for the guidance of those who will
superintend the getting out of the
vote. All electors, who can go to the
polls, without being sent for, should
be earnestly urged to do so.

To make easy and uniform the
work of canvassers a special canvass
book has been prepared by the Alli-
ance Executive. Copies will be sup-
plied to county organizations at cost.
In these books should be carefully
written the names of voters taken
from the printed lists, each book con-
taining as many names as a canvasser
can effectively deal with. Each
book will contain Instructions to can-
vassers about methods of work. ^t
will be found advantageous whenever
practicable, to have persons act as
canvassers who will take charge of
the duty of seeing that all the pro-
hibition voters whom they have can-
vassed, go to the polls on December
4th.

Voters' Lists

The Voters' Lists to be used In this
voting are the same lists that were
used at the general provincial election •
held on May 29th last. The persons
entitled to vote are those whose names
are on the said list, and those who
were entitled to vote at the said elec-
tion, provided they have been resi-
dents of and domiciled in the Pro-
vince of Ontario from the time of the
election until the 4th o* December.
Persons who have moved to another
part of the Province mrst vote at the
place for which they were listed. Per-

sons who have moved out of the Pro-
"Ince will not be entitled to vote.

Literatufc Circulation

The comlug campaign will b*
largely a campaign of literature cir-
culation. A circular Issued by the
Alliance entitled, " About Literature."
should be carefully studied by all our
workers, and Its Instructions thor-
oughly carried out. Copies of this
circular and samples of literature will
be promptly furnished by the Alliance
Secretary to any friend making appli-
cation therefor. We must educate
the electors by fairly carpeting the
country with good literature.

The L>cal Prcn

Every Prohibition Committee should
appoint a press correspondent. This
position should be held by some quali-
fied person who will, 1. Supply local
papers with useful articles in favor of
prohibition, reports , of meetings held
and other Information. 2. Carefully
watch the papers for letters or arti-
cles against prohibition, and send for
publication, judicious replies.

If any correspondent has not Infor-
mation enabling him to reply to any
antl-prohlbition article or letter, he
should send at once to the secretary
of the Alliance a marked copy of the
newspaper cor lining the article or
letter, sending ilso his name and ad-
dress, and stating what information
he requires. The secretary will see
that one of our friends at once sends
him the necessary statistical or other
Information, to enable him to meet
any misrepresentations that have
been made.

The importance of careful attention
to this work cannot be overestimated.
The opponents of prohibition will be
able to pay for anti-prohibition arti-
cles in any paper willing to accept
their money. We must meet this line
of attack as far as we can.

Meetings

A special circular is prepared con-
taining suggestions about methods of
conducting prohibition meetings, and
also giving a list of speakers who are
available for platform work. This

THE CAMPAIGN MANUAL.

1ft

circular ■hould b« carefully atudied.
It U not probable that many meeting*
win be held by our opponenti. There
Is all the more neceaelty for our do-
ing our beet to thoroughly Inform the
public regarding the queetlons at
Issue in this campaign. Speakers
should prepare themaelves by a care-
ful study of our literature.

Early In the season, there may be
difflnulty in securing large audiences
Indoors. Even small meetings, how-
ever, sometimes accomplish much,
especially in stirring up our own
friends, and they need to be stirred
up. Where manageable out-door
meetings may be held, at which
speeches advocating prohibition will
be the prominent feature, interspersed
with attractive music. Choirs of
well-trained cnildren may aid very
effectively In this work.

Churches, Sunday-schools, Young
People's Societies, temperance organ-
izations, are earnestly reauested to
consider this campaign their work,
and to miss no opportunity of making
their regular meetings influential in
this battle against the cause ♦ so
much misery and sin.

A victory for prohibition will be
victory for righteousness, and tl»j
Christian citizenship of the Province
must win it

PoOing Plans

As stated, full instructions regard-
ing the matter will be sent out by the
Executive Committee. Perhaps the
greatest danger that threatens us is
that only a very small vote will be
polled, there being no other election
or issue to bring out the voters. Spe-
cial effort should therefore be made
to get all our voters to the polls.
They should be urged to come
directly. All friends who can furnish
conveyances should, however, be asked
to volunteer them for the work on
voting day, so that those who are in-
firm or have a long distance to travel
may be able to get in their votes.

Canvassers ought to secure the pro-
mise of this help as far aa possible.
The motto of every committee ought
to be, •' Let every vote be polled."

Finance

It Is exceedingly important that
financial affairs be systematically and
carefully arranged so as to prevent
any hampering of work or any diffi-
culty In carrying out plans. Every
organization of workers should ap-
point early a finance committee, that
will estimate the outlay needful, and
arrange for raising the necessary
money. The county or district cen-
tral committee should be consulted
so as to know what is necessary for
general work. Wise attention to thia
matter will make other work easier
and more effective.

Penonal Action

There is abundant evidence that the
liquor party are active and anxious.
They will plan and work to the full-
est extent to prevent our winning In
this contest We shall need all tb.e

nergy and zeal that we can command
to meet them successfully. There la
no doubt that the public opinion of
our Province, if fairly expreased, is
hostile to the liquor trafllc which
burdens our country with so much
sorrow, loss, disgrace, and sin. There
are electors enough in favor of pro-
hibition to secure victory. If they
vote we shall win. The danger ii«
that apathy will prevent our securing
a full expression of the real opinion
of our people. In any event the
larger vote we poll, the greater suc-
cess shall we win for the cause of
effective legislation against our coun-
try's direst curse. We fail by every
vote we leave unpolled. Again, we
earnestly appeal for such an effort aa
has never before been made, to win
out of this crisis and opportunity a
splendid victory for "God and home
and country."

THE CONVENTION REPORTS

The reports of the sessional com-
mittees as adopted by the Provincial
Convention of Prohibitionists, held In
Toronto on July 29th, contain the
complete deliverances of that body
upon the present prohibition situation,
and upon the various questions
brought up for consideration. These
reports speak for themselves, and we
reproduce them In full so tnat our
readers may know exactly what were
the opinions and deci .ions of one of
the most representative temperance
conventions yet held In the Province
of Ontario.

Campaign Conunittee

That we call upon the friends of
temperance throughout the Province
to unite in an earnest effort to win a
decisive victory in the voting on De-
cember 4th.

That the first Sunday In September
be chosen as the opening day of the
coming campaign, and that ministers
be specially requested to preach tem-
perance serrooLs upon that date, or as
near to that date as possible in cases
where that date is Inconvenient.

That all churches and temperance
societies be requested to inaugurate
an active movement to secure signa-
tures to a total abstinence pledge,
submitting a pledge form to members
of churches, Sunday-schools, and
young people's societies, and having
public addresses and sermons de-
livered in favor of total abstinence.
In this connection the following form
of pledge is suggested :

" I promise to abstain from the use
of intoxicating liquo.c as a beverage,
ana to discountenance such use by
others."

That the Executive Committee bi
instructed to have prepared, campaign
forms and literature relating to the
voting on December 4th, as was done
In the case of the plebiscite of 1898,
and to take such measures as they

And best suited to sef-ure their wide
circulation throughout the Province.

Replying to the request of the Tem-
perance League re co-operation In the
referendum campaign, your committee
recommend : —

" That we appreciate the desire and
purpose of the Legislation League to
co-operate with the Alliance in the
coming campaign; that we deem it
highly desirable that there be unity
of action on the part of all the prohi-
bition forces of the Province, and that
We favor the co-operation of the com-
mittees, and organizations of the Alli-
ance with the committees of the
League and of all other bodies favor-
ing prohibition.

CommittM on Electoral Action

That the President of the Prohi-
bition Association in each county or
electoral district be made a Vice-
President of the Ontario Branch of
the Dominion Alliance, thus giving
each county representation upon the
Executive Committee, and bringing
the Executive into close touch with
the workers in every part of the Pro-
vince.

That the Executive Committee be
instructed to take immediate steps to
secure a live, working organization in
every electoral district In which such
action has not yet been taken, and to
send at once to all such organizations
a circular of Instructions regarding
plans and methods of campaign work.

That in the opinion of this Com-
mittee this Alliance should seek the
comradeship of every other organiza-
tion which is working along lines of
moral and political reform, and that
the secretary be Instructed to open
correspondence with such other bodies
In the Province at the earliest con-
venience with a view to united action.

CANADA'S DRINK BILL

June 30th, 1901, show an Increaae in
the quantities of Intoxk-Hting liquor
entered for home conaumutlon. The
total quantity reported for the year
1900 waa 5,160 gallons for each thou-
■and uf the population. The quan-
tity reported for 1901 was 5.602 gal-
lons for eaL'h thousand of the
population.

The figures do not Include any esti-
mate for Canadian cider and wine,
on which no duty is collected, and
for which no returns are made to the
Oovernment.

The total quantities of liquors re-
ported are in gallons aa folIowB :

Total 30,033,697 "

This is the largest annual consump-
tion of intoxicating liquor in the his-
tory of the Dominion.

It does not. however, represent the
greatest quantity of alcohol consumed
by our people. There has been for
some years a reduction in the quan-
tity of spirits consumed, accompanied
by an increase in the consumption of
malt liquors.

The quantity of spirits consumed
was 765 gallons for each thousand of
the population, whereas the quantity
consumed in the year 1874 was 1,994
gallons for each thousand of the
population. If we take the quantity
of alcohol consumed in the different
forms of intoxicating liquor, we shall
find that in the year 1874 the con-

fumptiou per thousand of the popu-
lation wus 1,2.. gallons, and that Uit
year it was only C87 gallons.

Social conditions have, however,
changed very much since the year
1874, and the present movement In
the habits of our people may be more
accurately learned from a more recent
comparison. For this purpose we
Uke the years 1891. 1896. and 1901,
giving the consumption at five-year
Intervals, and find the following to
be the quantities for those years, of
intoxicating liquor entered for con-
sumption t thousand of the popula-
tion, and t. J quantities of alcohol
therein contained.

The Oovernment returns give the
quantities of liquor entered for con-
sumption, and the revenue collected
thereon, but, of course, do not contain
any statement of the amount paid for
the liquor by the consumers. The
Royal Commission estimated th? cost
upon a basis which was not made
public, but which seems to have been
about the following :

called the direct cost of the 1*'

ies, jails, and asylums, the loss

of wealth-producers, and all the other
incidental losses that attend this de-
structive business. An estimate ol
this Indlrcit coat will be found In
the npxt article.

The Province of Ontario contains
about forty per cent, of the popula-
tion of the Dominion. The liquor
trafflc Is comparatively weak in the
Maritime Provinces. Liquor is diffi-
cult to procure In some of the newer
parts of the country. There are large
area« under prohibition through Do-
minion legislation and local option in
different forms. It is certain, there-
fore, that the population of Ontario
consumes rather more than its propor-
tion of the drink expenditure of the
Dominion, but reckoning it simply on
the same basis, we find that the
amount of money paid for strong
drink in the Province of Ontario in
1001 was ♦ia.126,75?.

THE CAMPAIGN MANUAL.

COST OF THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC

Direct Cost

The report of the Royal Commls-
iion on the Liquor Traffic set out an
estimate of the annual expenditure for
strong drink in Canada In the follow-
ing paragraph :

Taking an average of the quantities
of wines, spirits and malt liquors en-
tered for consumption in the five years
ending 1893, but excluding elder and
native wines, and taking an average
of the retail prices, the calculation
shows the sum of $39,879,854, to be
paid for liquor by the consumers. As
more than one-half of this amount is
paid for spirits to which. It Is well
understood, a large addition of water
is made before Ihey are vended to the
nubll'^, the total amount paid i« prob-
ably considerably in excess of the sum
just mentioned.

The annual consumption of liquor
has Increased since this estimate was
made, and a careful computation on
the same basis puts the outlay for
intoxicating liquor consumed in the
nominion in 1901 at $47,106,948. an in-
crease of over twelve per cent, in ten
years.

The money thus paid may be fairly
said to represent so much diminution
of wealth, as the liquor, when con-
sumed, leave? the community in no
way advantaged. When money is
paid for clothing, food, or other com-
modities, the purchaser is supposed to
have value for his outlay. Both buyer
and seller, respectively, possess wealth
formerly held by the other, usually
slightly increased by the exchange.
The liquor seller possesses the wealth
formerly held by his customer, but the
cnstomer-consumer has nothing. The
community is poorer at least to the
amount of money spent for the liquor.
We have a right, therefore, to state
that the country is impoverished an-

nually by direct expenditure on
liquor to the amount of $47,106,948.

The country is also impoverished
by the waste of grain and other ma-
terial that was used in the manufac-
ture of liquor. This material was
lome-produced or imported farm pro-
duce, which, had it not been taken for
making strong drink, would have been
available for export or other use. An
Increase of twelve per cent on the
Commission's estimate of the cost of
material used in making liquor gives
us an outlay in 1901 for this purpose
of $2,115,417.

Indirect Loss

The sums mentioned represent what
may be called the direct loss which
the liquor traffic imposes upon the
community. That traffic causes other
and far greater losses which are not so
easily ascertained. The Minority Re-
port makes an estimate of some of
them, based on data taken from the
census returns of 1891, concerning our
working population. As similar later
returns have not yet been issued, we
take the collections then made, which
may be summarized as follows :

Loss of Labor.— The country loses
a great deal because of the prevention
of the production of wealth on ac-
count of persons being in jails, hos-
pitals, asylums, or in any way Idle
through Intemperance. The working
of a gang of men in a factory or any
set of persons who work together, is
Interfered with by tho absence of one
or more in the same way. Much of
our most highly organized manufac-
turing industry is thus seriously ham-
pered Not only do those who drink
lose time and possibly earnings; their
fellow employees are also losers. The
■ industry which employes them suf-
ic ■ loss. An English parliamentary
report estimates over sixteen per cent.

THE CAMPAIGN MANUAL,

of the productive labor of the country
as lost In this way. Assuming that
In Canada the loss la only eight per
cent.. It amounts to 176,288,000.

Shortened Lives. — Careful calcula-
tions show that 3.000 lives are annu-
ally cut short In Canada by Intemper-
ance, each such death robbing the
country of at least an average of ten
years of productive power. It Is es-
timated In this way we sustain an an-
nual loss of $14,304,000.

Misdirected Work. — A similar calcu-
lation shows that the country loses
by having about 13,000 men engaged
In making and selling liquor, not ac-
tually adding anything to the wealth
of the country, but creating condi-
tions which increase public burdens.
If rightly employed, these men would
add to the country an amount of
wealth which we now have to do with-
out, estimated at $7,748,000.

Indirect Cost

A careful calculation shows that
for the year 1901 the Dominion, Pro-
vincial and Municipal authorities of
Canada expended in the administra-
tion of justice, and for the mainten-
ance of penitentiaries, jails, asylums,
reformatories, aim-houses and like in-
stitutions, sums totalling over $7,-
000,000.

Assuming that one-half of this ex-
penditure is fairly chargeable to the
liquor habit, and the liquor traffic, we
get as the cost to the country thus
cause a sum of more than $3,500,000,

A Summing Up

In this connection the fact must be
noted that a proportion of the na-
tional, provincial and municipal re-
venues is derived from the liquor
traflac. The total amount thus con-
tributed for Dominion purposes in 1901
is shown by official returns to be $9,-
779,364.

The net revenue of the Ontario Gov-
ernment in the same year from liquor
licenses was $304,676, and the net
revenue of all the Ontario munici-
palities from the same bource was

$250,482. These items vary in differ-
ent provinces, and on the whole they
aggregate throughout the Dominion
about $1,100,000 for local Govern-
ment revenues, and $400,000 for muni-
cipalities.

This is the price which the liquor
trafllc pays for the privileges granted
it. It is right that these amounts
should be set over against the items
of loss, and the various expenditures
caused by the traffic, hereinbefore con-
sidered.

This may be done as follows :

Q>st of the Liquor Traffic

Amount paid for liquor by
consumers $47,106,948

stroyed 2.115,417

Loss of productive labor . . . 76,288,000

This startling calculation does not
include, as a charge against the liquor
traffic, the great amount of money
spent in watching it and collecting
the revenue from It. In reference to
the similar calculation in his report in
1894, Rev. Dr. McLeod said :

In the foregoing table the items
charged to the liquor traffic are moder-
ate estimates, and many things, which
might properly be Included, are omit-
ted because of the difficulty of putting

balance against the liquor traffic, it
would iiot then be excessive.

An Annual Charge

It must also be kept in mind that
the enormous balance chargeable to
the liquor traffic represents only one
year's waste. For many years like
burdens, in proportion to the popula-
tion, have been Imposed upon the
country. These facts make it easy
to appreciate the truth and force of
the statement made in 1884 by Hon.
Mr. Foster. Under a table prepared
by him, showing the amount of money
actually paid out for liquor consumed
In Canada from 1868 to 1882, inclusive,
to have been $493,200,000, he wrote :

One can scarcely grasp the awful
significance of the above figures. The
large quantities of grain that have
been worse than wasted would have
fed millions of people. The cost of
liquors for one year exceeds the whole

revenue of the Dominion of Canada.
The cost per head has been f Jly twice
as much as the total cost per head of
all our customs dues since Confedera-
tion. The total amount spent in the
fifteen years above tabulated aggre-
gates, without counting interest, near-
ly $500,000,000. This would have de-
frayed all our cost of government,
built our railways, and l^^ft ns with-
out a shadow of a national debt. To
all this we must add the incalculable
cost of citizens slain, labor destroyed,
pauperism borne and crime watched,
restrained and punished. The won-
der Is that, with such terrible waste,
our country enjoys any prosperity. If
this waste could be made to cease,
Canada In ten years would not know
herself, so prosperous and wealthy
would she have giown. Surely It is
the part of all good citizens to see to
it that such a frightful source of waste
and destruction Is dried up. Prohi-
bition Is the only effectual cure.

Will It not be wisdom to prohibit
the worse than useless liquor traffic,
and stop this terrible waste ?

WE SHALL WIN

" There's lovely fighting all along
the line," said a noted general in a
memorable battle. The statement
describes the condition of uany parts
of the Province of Ontario at the pres-
ent time.

We have reason to be grateful of the
zeal and energy with which prohibi-
tionists have rallied at the call of
duty, and proved themselves worthy
soldiers in a cause in which it is an
honor to take part.

We have had discouragements. Our
work has been thwarted many a time
by unfair methods. We have won
victories and failed to secure the ad-
vantages for which we fought. We
have been disappointed, but we are
neither clff^at'^r', nor dismayod.
' We recognize the nature of the con-
flict in which we are engaged. The
forces that oppose us are strong and

strongly entrenched. We have to
fight custom, prejudice, appetite, self-
interest, wealth, social institutions,
and political machinations. The
wonder is not that we have done so
little, but that we have accomplished
so much.

It is a hard fight. It will be a long
fight. There can, however, be only
one result. " If right is right, and
God is God, the truth is bound to
win."

Whatever may I the outcome of
the present struggle, this great move-
ment will go on to victory steadily.
It may be slowly but certainly. The
Christian sentiment of Canada will
prevail against the forces of cruel and
heartless selfishness, and the day is
coming when, like other evils, legal-
ization of the liquor traffic will be a
tiling of the pist.

PROHIBITION AND TAXATION

The assertion Is made that if the
Ontario Liquor Act, 1902, should be
ratified by the electors on December
4th, there would be serious difficulty
experienced by municipal councils in
meeting the deficit in their annual in-
come that would be caused by the
withdrawal of the present revenue
from license fees.

It is also stated that the loss to the
Province of the c^mount now received
as the Government's share o "^-ense
fees would be likely to lead to direct
taxation for provincial purposes, a
burden which this Province has so far
been able to escape.

In order that the electors may fully
anderstand this matter, there are here
placed before them a few facts in re-
lation to the present provincial and
municipal liquor revenue and the
probable diminution of that revenue
under prohibition.

The total amount received by Boards
of License Commissioners last year for
license fees, transfers and fines for
violations of the law amounted to
1629,238.15. Out of these receipts
were paid the inspectors' salaries and
other local expenses of administrat-
ing the law, amounting in all to $74,-
079.42. The remainder was divided
between the local municipalities and
the Provincial Government as fol-
lows :

Paid to municipalities ....$250,482.13
Paid to the Province 304.676.60

Total $555,158.73

A careful calculation puts last year's
direct expenditure for intoxicating
liquor throughout the Dominion a'.

$47,106,948. Taking as a safe esti-
mate for Ontario, according to popu-
lation, 40 per cent, of this amount,
we find the direct outlay for liquor in
the Province to have been $18,842,779
for the year. The total number of
liquor licenses of all kinds was 3,008,
of which 2,984 were tavern and shop
licenses. Eighty of these were in
operation for only six months.

Assuming that the licensed places
are open for only 310 days in the year,
this would be an average of a little
over $20 per day for each licensed
place. In some places the business
done is much larger than this and in
v^.hers probably less.

Out of this large sum of money re-
ceived by the liquor sellers, from the
people of Ontario, there was paid in-
to the municipal and provincial trea-
suries only the comparatively small
amount of $555,158.73.

So far as the question of revenue is
concerned, it is as if the municipali-
ties and the Province had employed
the liquor sellers to secure for tiem
the revenue of $555,158.73, authorizing
them to collect a much larger amount
and rttain the balance for their own
benefit, so that the account stands as
follows :

Amount collected by the
liquor-sellers $18,842,779

Amount paid over as

re\ ■■nue 555,158

Cost of collecting $18,287,621

The folly of the policy of paying
$188 for the sake of securing a revenue
of less than $6. is too patent to need
comruent. Wouid not a people richer
by $18,842,77i» be able to pay the extra
$555,158, and still be vastly better off.

THE CAMPAIGN MANUAL.

The outlay of the Ontario Govern-
ment aud the various municipalities
of the Province for the administration
of justice, maintenance of the Central
Prison, the reformatories, jails, asy-
lums, hospitals, and other charities,
Is more than 13,000,000. It Is not an
extravagant estimate to say that at
least one-half of this expenditure is
fairly chargeable t 'he liquor habit
and the liquor i. ,flc. and it will
readily be understood that the sup-
pression of that traffic would speedily
bring to both provincial and munici-
pal authorities an important relief
from present outlay for the purpose
named, that would vastly more than
compensate for the comparatively
small revenue now received from the
liquor business.

It must be remembered that the
liquor traffic pays none of the revenue
out of its own resources. It creates
no wealth. It simply takes the tax-
payer's money and hands it over to
the municipality, taking from the
people, as has been shown, more than
thirty times as much as it turns over
to the municipal treasury.

If the enormous amount of wealth
thus absorbeu by the liquor business
remained in the hands of the taxpay-
er? of the community, a great deal of
it would, no doubt, be found in the
shape of taxable property, and there
would thus be speedily added to the
aggregate assessment an amount that
would furnish the whole revenue now
cerived f'-om the liquor system, by a
taxation nte less than the maximum
authorized *iv I'w. This result, it
must be noticed, would be attained,
even if there was no material progress
in the community as the result of the
more temperate and Industrial habits
that would inevitably follow the aboli-
tion of the drink system.

If we closed up all our liquor shops
to-day we would have in one year a
communitv so much richer, that taxa-
tion on >, addition to our wealth
would more than make up for the
lost municipal revenue.

The choice between prohibition and
license Is to the people of Ontario, a
choice between paying annually in
hard cash over $18,000,000, or only
paying a moderate tax-rate upon pro-
perty of that value, and keeping the
property still in possession, earning
probably four times the amount paid
in taxes.

It is sometimes argued that taking
away the licenses from hotel property
would diminish the value of such pro-
perty, that its assessment would be
reduced, and other property would
have to be taxed at a higher rate to
level up. A careful examination of
a number of assessment rolls, and in-
formation given direct by a number of
assessment commissioners and assess-
ors, show that in no case is a license
considered as enhancing the actual
value of a piece of hotel property.
Nor could it be fairly so considered.

qualifications of permanent wo. i-
titling it to be treated as either hav-
ing or Imparting any assessable value.

Further careful examination shows
that from hotels, on account of the
comparatively small amount of per-
sonal property contained, are paid
proportionately less taxes than are
paid from any other equally valuable
places of business. Still further, the
contiguity of a tavern or a saloon

THE CAMPAIGN MANUAL.

IS DRINKING INCREASING?

A Serious Question to be Carefully Coniidered

Thf gpneral testimony of careful
observers is that at the present time
there Is less open, free consumption
of intoxicating liquors than there used
to be. In Great Britain it is an-
nually stated that the sobriety of all
sections of the community has im-
proved.

It is curious to find at the same
time a large increase in the quantities
of intoxicating liquor consumed, as
shown by Government returns, and,
of course, a large increase in the
amount of money expended on intoxi-
cants by the people.

This seeming contradiction of facts
might be partly accounted for in a new
country like Canada by an improve-
ment in the enforcement of law and
the consequent suppression of the sale
of illicit liquor, either unlawfully
manufactured or smuggled into the
country. The destruction of thi";
liquor traffic would not, however, ac-
count for all the increase, nor would
It account for the Increase in older
lands. In Great Britain the per
capita consumption of Intoxicating
lif;uor has Increased by about one-
third.

An explanation is suggested by Mr.
T. P. Whittaker, M.P., in a very
thoughtful address delivered this year
in St. James' Hall, London, before an
exceptionally large, influential and
representative audience, presided over
by the Rt. Hon. Viscount Peel. Mr.
Whittaker believes that there is more
drinking now than there was half a
century ago, but that the drinking is
of a different kind. " It is more fre-
quent anu regular. There is less

ob' lous intoxication, but there is
more ' soaking.' There Is less reel-
ing drunkenness, less evident excess,
and, consequently, fewer cases in the
police court, and fewer guests under
the table, but, taking the year round,
more liquor is swaHowed."

This explanation, which seems
reasonable, might, by superficial ob-
servers, be considered as indicating an
improved condition of affairs. This
is not the view taken by those who
are accustomed to studying the drink
question from a scientific standpoint.
Mr. Whlttaker's own opinion is stated
in the lecture to which reference has
Ijeen made in the following terms :

" There has been great changes In
manners and customs in this respect
(luring the last hundred years, but
they have not affected for the better
the quantity consumed. Habitual
drinking, continual and frequent, has
taken the place of occasional bouts of
brutal drunkenness. The present
lustom may offend our sensibilities
less, and impress our minds less
luridly, but it is not in every respect
and altogether a change for the better.
.Medical men tell us that continual
drinking on what may be called a
moderate scale is more injurious to
the drinker than occasional outbursts
of drunkenness with periods of ab-
stention between would be."

This explanation of the recorded in-
crease in the consumption of intoxi-
cants will cause profound anxiety
among thoughtful persons and well-
wishers of humanity. The change
from occasional excess, which is un-
der the restraint of legal penalty and
public opprobrium to continuous in-
dulgence that saps the vitality, is de-
cidedly a change for the worse, and

THE CAMPAIGN MANUAL.

•calls for earnest effort to meet thia
new pbaae of the drink peril.

Mr. Whlttaker's views concerning
the evil results of steady drinking are
In harmony with the opinions of
eminent scientists who speak with
authority regarding physiological and
medical questions. In support of his
argument the learned lecturer quoted
a number of these opinions, among
them being the following :

The late Sir William Gull : " It Is
one of the commonest things In Eng-
lish society that people are In.ured
by drink without being drunkards. It
goes on so quietly that it Is even very
difficult to observe. A man's nearest
friends will frequently not know It."

Sir Henry Thompson, the well-
known surgeon, said : " The habitual
use of fermented liquors to an extent
far short of what is necessary to pro-
duce drunkenness, and such as Is quite
common In all ranks of society, in-
jures the body and diminishes the
mental power to an extent which I
think few people are aware of. I
have no hesitation in attributing a
very large proportion of some of the
most painful and dangerous maladies
which come under my notice, as well
as those which every medical man
has to treat, to the ordinary and daily
use of fermented drink taken In the
quantity which is conventionally
deemed moderate."

" There is no agent," says Dr. News-
holme, Medical Officer of Health for
Brighton, in his annual report for
1900, " so competent to hurry on the

degenerative changes In the system
associated with old age ; In other
words, alcohol is one of the chief
causes of premature old age. It Is
not sufficiently recognized that these
evil effects are very commonly pro-
duced by the systematic Indulgence In
an amount of alcoholic drinks, that
would by most be regarded as moder-
ate ; and that those who, while never
becoming Intoxicated, dally take a
considerable amount of spirits (espe-
cially If taken apart from meals) ere
much more likely to suffer In health,
and prematurely break down, than a
laborer who may get drunk once a
fortnight, aud be a teetotaller In the
Intervals."

Dr. Clouston, In an article on Al-
coholism, in Qualn's " Dictionary of
Medicine " (1902) says : " There can
be no doubt that a man may induce
some of the most marked and far-
reaching pathological effects of alco-
holic excess without having once
been ' drunk '—without ever having
had acute or chronic alcoholism or
mental disturbance In any active
form. He may ultimately reach al-
most complete intellectual dissolu-
tion, utter moral and effective per-
versity, and total loss of memory
through the steady brain-poisoning of
a respectable and almost unobserved
excess."

Dr. Macroire (late physician to the
Fever Hospital, Liverpool), said :
" After having treated more than three
hundred thousand cases in the town
hospital, Liverpool, I give it as my
decided opinion that the constant
moderate use of stimulating drinks is
more injurious than the now and
then excessive irdulgence in them."

DRINK AND CRIME IN CANADA

Drink tbe Chief Cauic of Vicious and

Criminal Conduct - An Evil that

Ovght to be Put Down

It would be easy to All a volume
with forcible evidence demonstrating
that among the causes of vice and
crime, Intemperance has the foremost
place. It is to be regietted that our
Dominion shows little improvement
in this respect. The convictions for
crime of every kind in the Dominion
of Canada and the Province of On-
tario during the past ten years are
set out in the following table :

Year. Ontario. Canada.

1892 15,017 34,997

1900 15,650 41,653

1901 16,268 42,144

Total . . 146.129 380,369

Of the 380,369 convictions, there
were no fewer than 115,431 for the
offence of drunkenness alone. There
is no doubt that a large number of
the offences reported under such
headings as vagrancy, assaults, breach
of ponce, cruelty, neglect to support
family, threats, trespass. Indecent
conduct, and the like, are largely at-
tributable to intemperance.

Extent cf Drunlcenness
Even the convictions for drunken-
ness as quoted, are far below the ac-
tual number of arrests for this
offence, the figures fnr convictions not
including the great number of
" drunks " who are arrested by police
officers and discharged by the magis-
trates. For example, the arrests for

drunkenness in the city of Toronto,
in 1901 numbered 3,943, while the con-
victions recorded for the County of
York, including Toronto, were i^nly
767. No doubt a number of otfence.s
are committed by the same person,
but on the other hand the figures
show nothing of the vast amount of
drunkenness which finds no record on
police court books.

Other Crimes CauseH by Drink
It is not practicable to make an
exact statement of the extent to
which crime other than drunkenness
results directly from indulgence in
strong drink, and therefore indirectly
from the liquor traffic. The report of
the Committee of Convocation of
York, England, sets out a startling
array of testimony from officials of
all kinds who have to deal with
offences against the law, showing that
drink is both a predisposing and an
exciting cause of very much wretched-
ness and crime. It says :

Many magistrates, governors of
gaols, chaplains of gaols, and super-
intendents of police, concur in stating
that of those crimes which obtain
public notice, from 85 to 90 per cent,
are the direct result of drunkenness.

A most systematic and thorough
offiical inquiry into the relationship
of drink and crime was made in the
year 1895 by the Massachusetts State
Bureau of Statistics. The offences,
surroundings, and antecedents of
every offender "convicted in the State
during the year, were carefully inves-
tigated, and the result published in a
most comprehensive report, from
which we gather the following infor-
mation :

There were made in all 26,672 con-
victions. Of these 17,575 were for

the offence of drunkenness alone, and
<)67 were for the offence of drunken-
ness associated with some other
crime, leaving only 8,440 offences com-
mitted by persons who were sober.
The report further showed that In
22 514 cases the Intemperate habits
of' the criminal had led to the condi-
tion which induced the crime, and
that 25,137 of the offenders were ad-
dicted to the use of intoxicating
liquor. Of the whole number of
offenders. 15,440 had drinking fathers
and 5,464 had drinking mothers.

A somewhat similar inquiry had
been made a few years before by Hon.
Carroll D. Wright, now Chief Statis-
tician of the United States, Into the
personal history of all offenders sen-
tenced In the county of Suffolk, Mass.,
including the city of Boston, for a
year.

In his report of fi careful Investiga-
tion of 16,877 cases, he states that
after deducting the cases of drunken-
ness and violation of the liquor laws,
he found forty-five per cent, of the
remaining crimes to be fairly attribut-
able to Intemperance, making a total
of eighty-four per cent, of all criminal
cases due directly or Indirectly to the
influence of liquor.

The report of the Ontario Prison
Reform Commission, In 1891, says :

Drunkenness does more than any
other cause to fill the gaols, and It
unquestionably does much to recruit
the ranks of the criminal classes. Of
the 11.893 persons committed to the
gaols of the Province during the year
1889, no less than 4.777 were charged
with having been drunk and disorder-
ly, and In all probability excessive
\i"se of strong drink was the chief
oause of trouble In the case of 534
persons who -were committed ■^•^ the
(■harp;e of common assault. Of the
11.587 cases disposed of in the police
court of the city of Toronto 5.441 were
cases of dninUpnnes.=! and d'.sorderly
conduct caused by drunkenness. . .
The number of convictions on charges
of drunkenness in the Province dur-
ing the year was 7.059, verv nparly
one-third of the whole; and of the
<'>75 prisoners In the common gaols at

the close of the year a very large pro-
portion were habitual drunkards.

ChiUren Mjid« Criminab
Intemperance indirectly causes a
vast amount of crime by creating such
conditions of heredity and environ-
ment as to make it impossible for a
great many children \o become any-
thing else than paupers and criminals.
They are born of intemperate parents,
they grow up surrounded by sin, de-
gradation and ail kinds of Induce-
ment to vice. It is impossible to es-
timate how mudi of our crime finds
Its origin in this way.

The convictions reported In the otR-
cial returns are separated into sum-
mary convictions made by magistrates
and convictions for Indictable offences
which are usually tried by juries. Of
the offences for which summary con-
victions are made, drunkenness and
crimes arising out of drunkenness
constitute the larger number. Fuller
particulars are, however, given con-
cerning the offenders who are tried
for indictable offences, and an ex-
amination of the records concerning
persons convicted of these serious
crimes gives the following startling
results for last year, concerning a
total of 5,034 persons convicted In
Canada, including 2,775 convicted in
the Province of Ontario.

Royal Commission on the liquor

Judges and magtstrates to the follow-
ing question :

In your opinion, what proportion

It will be noticed that a large num-
ber of answers are indefinite. This
no doubt means simply that the per-
sons replying did not give their an-
swers in percentage form, many of
them, however, probably being over-
whelming evidence that d Ink is a
cause of crime.

The Traffic the Cause
It seems hardly needful to offer evi-
dence to show that these terrible evils
are not only the direct outcome of
Intemperance, but are the fruit of the
liquor traffic. Here are some sample
statements :

Convocation of the Province of
York.— The multiplied facilities for
obtaining drink may be regarded as
the greatest conducing cause of in-
temperance. The returns Invariably
show that when these facilities are
Increased, drunkenness increases also;
that when there are lessened, there
is a corresponding diminution in in-
temperance; and this rule seems to
operate with all the force of a natural
law.

Report of the Convocation of the
Province of Canterbury. — " It appears
an unquestionable fact that in pro-
portion as facilities in a*y shape for
procuring intoxicating liquors are
countenanced and afforded, the vice
of intemperance and its dismal effects

are Increased. That this would be
the case has been continually main-
tained by members of the community
desirous of the repression of intem-
perance, and extensively acquainted
with different phases of its workings.
This conclusion the evidence before
your committee amply confirms."

Hon. George E. Foster, late Finance
Minister of Canada.— No intelligent
observer will, for a moment, attempt
to deny that a large part of the in-
temperance of our people arises from
the mult.plie 1 facilities for drinking
which are set up and maintained by
authority of our laws.

Minority Report Royal Commission.
—The drink habit is specially char-
acterized by its tendency to rapid
growta when it is fostered. The
liquor traffic differs from other busi-
ness which simply furnishes a supply
of that for which there exists a de-
mand. The sale of liquor Is gener-
ally recognized by those who have
studied the subject as a cause of
drinking, and as being chargeable
with the drunkenness that exists and
the evils that follow drunkenu-is.

An Awful Record

Hon. Sir Oliver Mowat, now Lieu-
tenant-Governor of Ontario, stated
that in his opinion " an enormous
P! portion, probably three-fourths of
the vice that prevails at the present
day, of the crime with which we have
to contend ... Is owing to the
foul evil of Intemperance." Applying
this statement to the convictions re-
corded by Canadian courts, a\3raging
38,000 per year, we reach thj sadden
ing result that fully 28,000 of the
convictions are the actual result of the
liquor system.

These figures are startling enough
in themselves, but they only give a
faint idea of the terrible evil which
they represent. Behind every single
conviction lies a sad tale of degrada-
tion and shame. In many cases a piti-
ful record of sorrow and suffering for
others besides the offender. Far be-
yond all react of the imagination is
the fearful extent of heart-break and
home-wreck, and all the physical and
mental woe, involved in the tragic
history of so many ruined lives.

Surely the law of a Christian com-
munity should prohibit, not sanction,
such a terrible, evil.

THE CAMPAIGN MANUAI-.

THE CASE OF MANITOBA

The liquor party argue that the
actual public opinion of Manitoba Is
against prohibitory legislation. They
claim that this is shown by the flKures
of the voting in the recent Referen-
dum. A careful examination of those
figures will, however, show the ab-
surdity of the contention.

or if sixty-two and one-half per cent,
of all the electors voting were in favor
of the Act.

When the Manitoba Liquor Act was
passed in 1900, prohibitionists expected
that it would be put into operation
without any further voting. If the
courts declared it constitutional.
There was no question raised as to Its
popularity. The people had declared
in favor of prohibition In 1892 by a
vote of 19,637 against 7,115, and again
In 1898 by a vote of 12,419 against
2,978.

The Privy Council's decision affirm-
ing the validity of the Liquor Act was
rendered on November 22nd last.
Manitoba prohibitionists looked for
the Immediate Issuf- of an Order In
Council bringing the Act Into force.
Their disappointment was great when
the Government proposed to have a
third vote taken upon the question.
They were also dissatisfied because the
Referendum Act did not embody the
simple democratic principle of ma-
jority rule.

What the Manitoba Referendum Act
provided was that an Order-in-Council
should Issue putting the Prohibitory
Act In force If the votes polled in
favor of prohibition amounted to
lorty-flve per cent, of the number ol
persons qualified to vote, of if slxty-
per cent, of all such persons voted
and at least sixty per cent, of those
who so voted were in favor of the Act,

The annoyance of the prohibition-
ists took the practical form of a re-
fusal to take part In the Referendum.
A great convention of temperance
workers, held In Winnipeg, was al-
most unanimous in declaring its de-
termination to abstain from partici-
pation in such unjust and unneces-
sary contest, and In calling upon pro-
hibitionists to Ignore the vote and
stay away from the polls.

Some prohibitionists objected to this
policy and began a campaign to secure
the polling of as large a vote as pos-
sible for prohibition. This move-
ment, however, was not approved or
accepted by prohibitionists generally,
and a great number stayed away from
the polls In accordance with the de-
cision arrived at by the Alliance Con-
yentlon.

Shortly before the voting a confer-
ence of workers was held to consider
the situation, and If possible lay down
a general policy for united action.
This conference did not reverse the
action formerly taken, the policy de-
cided upon being set out In the fol-
lowing terms : " That this Conven-
tion agrees to recommend the cessa-
tion of all further organized effort to
influence the vote on April 2nd, and
that each man be left to exercise his
individual judgment irrespective of
allegiance to any temperance organ-
ization."

This declaration was made on March
25th. A number of prohibitionists

Went to the polls. The oppoaltlon to

and so strong that it Is safe to say
that not half of the prohibition vote
was polled.

The Referendum Act under which

wide open for fraudulent voting, and
as a matter of fact the liquor party
did carry on a campaign of improper
practices which swellfil (h»lr v"te for

entered on the municipal llHts who did
not cast their votes.

The persons entitled to vote in the
Referendum were those entitled to
vote at a Provincial or Dominion cIpi -
tlun. Manitoba has a manhood fran-
chise for Provincial election purposes.
Statutory provision is made for the
registering for general election pur-
poses, of such manhood voters as are
not on the municipal voters list. No
such reglstrailon was held for th<'
Referendum. The Referenia.n .\rt
pruvided that all persons who would
have a right to register If a rcglr.ra-
tlon had been held, should bo permit-
ted to vote upon th»ir swpa»-;ntC to
their quallfl-aMon.

In the Rcferendiini. therefore, ali
person.s whose names were on the
municipal voters list and all who
swore that they had a right to be
regibtered as manhood suffrage voters,
were permitted to vote.

The total n\imber of voters whose
names were on the municinal voters
lists, along with those who voted
as manhood suffrage voters without
being listed, amounted to 74.477. The
total nuiiiber or votes adualiy cast
was 38.071. As no doubt all who
claimed to vote as manhood voters
actually voted, it follows that there
were 46,406 voters duly qualified and

The vote polled itood aa follows :

For prohibition 15,807

Against prohibition 22,464

Majority against 6,857

If prohibitionists had polled their
full vote, a great many prohibition
electors would have voted on man-
hood suffrage qualification and thus
!well»d the total available vote be-
yond even the 74,477 which ihn Clerk
of the Executive Committee Council
reported as qualified to vote.

The unfair Referendum Act required
that prohibitionists to win should poll
an unreasonably large proportion of
the votes cast. With the liquor vote
at its .ecorded strength, prohibition-
ists could have won only by polling
32.51.5 VQtes, a little more than twice
as many as they actually cast. The
prohibition vote shortage was there-
lore 16,008.

It is worthy of note that even with-
out the registration of the many man-
hood suffrage prohibitionists who
stayed away from the polls, the vote
left unpolled was remarltably large as
compared with the vote left unpolled
in the last general Dominion election
for which a registration was held.
The figures for that election were as
follows :

Votes available 64,027

Votes polled 41,687

Left unpolled 22,340

Thus there were more than twice as
many unpolled votes in the Referen-
uiini a.^ llifre weie in the general Do-
minion election of 1900, and there is
no doubt that a vast majority of the
;inpollnd voters were in favor of pro-
hibition. In fact their approval of

THE CAMPAIGN MANUAL,

IS CANADA TO LEAD?

Canadians take pride in the high
position which our young community
has already attained among the na-
tions of the earth. This position Is
partly the result of our possession of
vast natural resources. Our oppor-
tunities for the production of wealth
are almost unlimited. Our great
North-West seems destined to become
the granary of the world, its wheat
production for 1902 being about 75,-
000,000 bushels, although only a frac-
tion of its available wheat-producing
land has been brought under cultiva-
tion. Our magnificent forests, our rich
mines, and our vast fisheries all pre-
sent inviting field to investment and
industry.

Our great success is, however, to
some extent due to the physical,
moral, and intellectual strength of
our people. A sturdy race of men
has grown up in Canada. The Immi-
grants to this new land are mainly
the more progressive and enterprising
of those who leave more crowded
communities. A distinguishing charac-
teristic of our people has been their
temperate habits. Canada Is known
throughout the world as a sober
country. Our per capita consumption
of strong drink Is about five gallons,
in striking contrast to the more than
seventeen gallons of the United States,
and more than thirty gallons of many
European countries.

age, which gave Canadians such a.
position of eminence in the recent
South African war, were the outcome
of their good ancestry, and environ-
ment in this new land.

Nothing threatens this desirable
pre-eminence of our people to such
an extent as does the liquor traffic.
No other agency is so potential In the
destruction of manhood and the de-
gradation of nations. In this age of
strenuous international competition,
sound manhood counts for much.
England's best philanthropists and
shrewdest statesmen recognize the
fact that the men of other nations
have physical advantages which are
interfering with the commercial su-
premacy that Great Britain has
hitherto enjoyed.

In drinking communities physical,
moral, and mental deterioration is
marked and deplored. There Is little
room for doubt that the keen sight,
the ready adaptability to circum-
stances, the physical strength, the
power of endurance, the moral cour-

An English leader of moral reform.
Rev. J. C. Aked, of Liverpool, dealt
forcibly with this element of national
peril In a recent address from which
we take the following quotations :

" We are thrust into the competi-
tion of men and nations. What
place are we to hold ? A nation
whose blood is sluggish with drink,
whose brain Is alcoholized, whose
nerve force and vitality are sapped
by dram-drinking, must go under in
the on-rush of a healthier and sober
and purer stock.

" We are dreaming of combination
that will be better than competition.
We are talking of the federation of
mankind. But the essential condi-
tion of combination is that we
shall be worth combining with.
Strong, pure races will be accorded,
and will take the lead, to the dis-
placement of races that are lower and
weaker in the social, moral, and in-
tellectual scale.

" In such a view it is not the per-
sonal Injustice done to the individual
which now looms large, it is the dan-

ger to the community. The com-
mon sale of Intoxicating liquors Is a
crime again the nation. The license
system Is treason against the State."

In a recent Important book on
Efficiency and Empire, Mr. Arnold
White makes the following startling
statement :

" In the Manchester district 11,000
men offered themselves for war ser-
vice between the outbreak of hostili-
ties In October, 1899, and July, 1900.
Of this number 8,000 were found to be
physically unfit to carry a rifle and
stand the fatigue of discipline. Of
the 3,000 who were accepted, only
1,200 attained the moderate standard
of muscular power and chest mea-
surement required by the military au-
thorities. In other words, two out of
every three men willing to bear arms
In the Manchester district are virtu-
ally invalids. There Is no reason to
think that the Lancashire towns are
peopled by a stock Inferior in stamina
to that of other large towns of the
United Kingdom. On the contrary,
the population of London includes a
larger proportion of Incapables per
thousand than the population of Man-
chester or Liverpool."

There Is no doubt that these condi-
tions are the result of bad homes, and
that bad homes are mainly the result
of intemperance. Thomas P. Whlt-
taker, M.P., In a recent lecture In St.
James' Hall, London, to a large, in-
fluential, and representative audience
presided over by the Right Honorable
Viscount Peel, made the following
statements :

" Great masses of our peoeple are

brought up and live under conditions
which render health, strength, vigor,
and efficiency impossible. Some-
thing like thirty per cent, of our
population, or nearly one-third, live
in poverty, and are Insufficiently fed,
clothed, and housed."

" How stands drinking in this con-
nection ? It is the great obstacle In
our path. It Is an Incessant drain
upon our health and strength. It
counteracts and undoes much of the
good we accomplish, and it weakens,
hinders, and Increases the difficulty of
every effort we make to develop and
protect the powers and faculties of
our people."

Mr. James Whyte in a recent pam-
phlet, says :

"What about industrial competi-
tion ? The consumption of alcohol
per head In the United States is just
about half the quantity of that of
England. Hence, in the fierce indus-
trial war — " the war of the future " —
on which we have been compelled to
enter, It would not be very surprising
if we were to find that In the United
States workmen were, as producers,
getting the better of Englishmen.
The drink question Is becoming of
pressing Importance, not only for Im-
perialists, but for all other patriots."

The conclusion is inevitable. If
Canada Is to maintatn her place, her
men must be sober, moral, industri-
ous, and efficient. They must be
well-edacated and well-cared for in
well-equipped homes. The liquor
traffic Is the great destroyer of this
essential condition. If Canada Is to
lead, the liquor traffic must be put
down.

THE CAMPAIGN MANUAL.

LIQUOR LICENSES IN ONTARIO

Evidence of the steady growth of public opinion against the liquor
traffic is to be found in the official tables showing the number of licenses
Issued in the Province of Ontario during the last twenty-seven years.

The great reduction shown for the year 1877 was due to the Crook's
Act. The reduction in shop licenses in 1877 was caused by the law pro-
hibiting the sale of liquor in places where any other business Is carried
on. Vessel licenses, permitting the sale of liquor on boats, were abol-
ished in 1891.

The temporary reduction shown for the years 1885 to 1889 was dii'^ ' •
the Canada Temperance Act. It will be noticed that If these yeai
omitted the number of licenses has been steadily diminishing for eigr
years, notwithstanding a steady Increase in population.

The population of Ontario in 1871 was 1,620,851, and in 1901 was 2,167,-
878. In the following table the number of licenses Is given for the year
e«ding on April 30th of the year named in the first column :

Tavern licenses authorize the sale of liquor to be drunk on the pre-
mises; shop licenses authorize retail sale of liquor, not to be drunk on the
premises; wholesale licenses authorize sale in large quantities, not to be
drunk on the premises.

Prohibition Does Prohibit.

CAXADIAX EXPERIENCK.

The Royal Commission prepared and sent the clerj-nicn of
Canada a series of four questions dealing directly with the
matter of prohibitory law and its results. Classification was
made of the answers to these questions, and a summary thereuf
which was embodied in the Commission's report is overwhelming
evidence of the usefulness of such legislation.

These replies are received from men of high character and
wide experience, men whose business it is to study and under-
stand just such subjects as that upon which they were asked to
report. In considering the answers recorded, it is, of course,
necessary to bear in mind the fact that local circumstances often
interfere with the effective operations of law. We must take
the great majority of results as fair iude.K of what the law
actually accomplishes.

Keeping these considerations in their minds we respectfull}'
ask our readers to carefully consider the questions and the class-
ification of answers which are as follows :

PROHIBITION DOES PROHIBIT.

WHAT CAN BE DONE.

Rev. Samuel F. Pearson was elected Sheriff of Cumberland
County, Maine , in 1900. He entered upon the duties of his
office on January ist, 1 901, for a two-year term. In Cumberland
County IS the city of Portland, the largest city in the State.
The new sheriff set to work at once to give an honest enforce-
ment to the Maine prohibitory law. He succeeded. Speaking
at a great meeting at Chicago on February 22nd last, he told of
the results of his efforts in the following terms : —

" After I had been in office for six months I thought I •would like to
iinow how far the prophecies of my opponents had been fu'*Ued. So I
took a carriage and drove over the city.

" I took two of the leading officials with me, and I went into a great
clothing house— the largest in jVla..ie— and I said to the owner : ' I would
like to inquire how business has been for the last six months under honest
enforcement' He put his arm through mine and said, 'Come out into
the office.' In the office he said, ' I don't want this to get out among my
neighbors, but my trade has increased thirty per cent, since you have been
sneriff.'

"We drove across to the largest retail boot and shoe dealer in the state
of Maine, and I said, ' I have conie in to ask you how business is.' ' There
are four more clerks on that floor to-day,' replied the owner of the store,
" than there ever has been since I have been in business, and I am selling
boots and shoes to men who were drunkards in Portland six months ago."

" There were 277 special United States tax receipts in force in Portland
the night I took the office, and other i)laces that were selling as ' kitchen
bar-rooms.' I will deposit in the hands of the chairman of this meeting
IpIoo and will pay for all wiring if any man in the audience will telegraph
to Portland and inquire of the mayor— and he is not speciallv friendly to
me — if there is an open bar-room or an open saloon in Portland. (Here
Mr. Pearson counted ♦he money into the hands of Chairman Stewart). And
my hundred dollars .hall belong to the man that wi'.l produce evidence
that there is one sue place — not twenty-five as the Chicago Tribime sain
there are, but ju.st one.

" There are twenty-five cities and towns in Cumberland county outsidi
of Portland, and I will put another hundred with th.it if the man will find
an open saloon or an open bar in Cumberland county. There is no such
thing in existence. And for that reason I stand here to claim with all the
power I possess, that prohibition prohibits.

SOME^SCOTT ACT FACTS

The Canada Temperance Act, gen-
erally known as the Scott Act. Is not
tot"' prohibition, or can it be as effec-
tive as prohibition would be. Intoxi-
cating liquor may be freely brought
Into counties In which It la In force,
the sale only being Illegal. Notwith-
standing this serious difficulty. It has
accomplished very much good In the
part 01 New Brunswick In which It Is
In operation.

The Scott Act was carried in ten
counties of New Brunswick and in the
cities of Portland and Fredericton.
One of these counties was St. John, in
which is situated the city of St. John,
with which the city of Portland 1?
now united. The Scott Act was not
carried In St. John city. This Inter-
fered seriously with the usefulness of
the law In St. John county and Port-
land. It was repealed In these places,
and the whole of St. John county Is
now under license. The Scott Act is
still in operation In the other nine
counties, and also In the cities of
Fredericton and Moncton, which are
situated In York and Westmoreland
counties respfctfully. Moncton was
a part of Westmoreland when that
county adopted the Act.

The Voice of the People

The opinion of the people of the
province may to some extent be
learned from the voting upon the Scott
Act. If we take the figures of the
latest voting in those places in which
the law is now in force, In some of
which several efforts have been madn
to repeal it, we get the following as
the number of vot's polled :

For the Scott Act 11,543

Against the Scoit Avt . .. 6.996

Less Drunkenness and Crime

Important evidence relating to New
Brunswick is furnished in a document
prepared by Mr. George Johnston.
Dominion Statistician, in response to
a letter from the chairman of the
Royal Commission, addressed to the
Hon. the Finance Minister, asking for
statistics relating to convictions for
crime in those parts the Dominion
in which prohibition laws were In
operation, and for similar Information
relating to places not under the opera-
tion of such laws. From this report
the following paragraphs are taken :

Thf crime returns for the Province
of Ontario are made to the statistics
branch at Ottawa In accordance with
divisions of the country provided by
the Provincial Government. The
population In 1891 Is given according
to divisions provided by the Federal
authorities. As these two sets of
divisions do not coincide, it becomes
difficult to designate the Scott Act
counties so that comparisons may be
made as to the growth of population
and other points.

There is, however, in the Province
of New Brunswick a group of nine
counties whose territorial division
have remained the same. These nine
counties have been under the Scott
Act for more than ten years. They
are all connected geographically.
They contain 61 per cent, of the whole
population of the province. They
have within their borders several
flourishing cities and towns, as Fred-
ericton, Maryville, Woodstock, St.
Stephen, Mllltown, Chatham, Moncton.
They seem in every respect a group
fairly representative of the country,
in Industries, In religious beliefs, In
racial and in general conditions.

In respect to crimes the statistics
show that In the ten years, 1882-91
(both years included), there weve 22,-
841 convictions in the Province of New
Brunswick. . . . Divided according
to Soctt Act counties and non-Scott

THE CAMPAIGN MANUAL.

Act counties, there were 8,738 In the
nine Scott Act counties, and 14,102 In
the other counties, or as. 4 per cent.
In the nine counties, and 61.6 per cent,
in the non-Scott Act counties, judgpd
by the criminal statistics. That is to
say, 61 per cent, of the population had
381^ per cent, of the criminal convic-
tions and 39 per cent, of the popula-
tion had 61 1^ per cent, of the crime
as indicated by the convictions.

Since this was written, the liquor
party have twice tried to secure the
repeal of the Scott Act In Westmore-
land county. On both occasions the
Act was sustained by substantial ma-
jorities. It is to-day the law of
the same nine counties.

These facts are very forcible. Mr.
Johnston might have followed the
comparison further. Of the 22,841
convictions, 13,598 were for the offence
of drunkenness. Of these 4,986 \«ere
In the Scott Act counties, and 8,612
in the counties In which license was
In operation. That Is to say, sixty-
one per cent, of the population (under
Scott Act) had thlrty-slx and one-half

per cent, of the convictions for drunl^--
ennesa, and thlrty-nlno per rent, of
the population (under license) had
sixty-three and one-half per cent, of
the convictions for drunkenness.
These results are summed up briefly in
the following table :

Scott Act counties 196,422 4,986 8,738
License counties. 124.841 8.(;i3 14,102

There can be no arrangement made
of the figures for drunkenness and
other crimes In the Province of New
Brunswick, which will not show that
the Scott Act counties as a whole have
a record for sobriety and comparative
freedom from crime far ahead of the
record of those counties In which the
liquor traflJc Is still licensed.

The Scott Act does good.

Prohibition will be effective. Vote
for It !

A PARASITIC INSTITUTION

It is strange that some people still
entertain a lingering idea that in
some way the liquor traffic confers
financial benefit upon the community
In which it operates. They imagine
that the liquor business gives em-
ployment to men, creates business for
storekeepers and manufacturers, and
helps to raise taxes.

We cannot too often reiterate the
fact that this traffic is a destroyer
and not a producer. It can give up
nothing that it does not first absorb.
It cannot buy a pG;;nd of sugar, with-
out first taking the price out of the
pockets of the people. It cannot pay
a dollar of rent, or a cent of taxes.

it cannot employ a man. or drive a
nail, or paint a board, or buy a pound
of coal or a stick of wood, without
making the people pay for every item
of such outlay.

All that the traffic spends it must
acquire. For all that it acquires it
gives no return. The man who has
drunk a glass of beer costing five
cents, or the community which has
consumed thousands and thousands of
barrels of liquor, has absolutely noth-
ing to show for the investment except
purchased impoverishment and deter-
ioration. The liquor traffic never pays.
It simply plunders.

PROHIBITION IN KANSAS

The Law is Gooi— And Does Good —

Testimony to its Value and Success

We have pleasure in presenting to
our readers a great array of fa<t.s
concerning prohn)itlon in the State of
Kansas. Some of this evidence has be^n
pul)Ii8he(l b> fore. Much of it will be
new to Canadian.^.

In the year 1880 the electors of Kan-
sas voted upon and approved an
amendment to the State Constitution
in the following terms :

The manufat ture and sale of intoxi-
cating liquors ;!.?ill ba forever prohib-
ited in this State, except for medical,
Ecientlflc, and manufacturing purposes.

In favor of the amendment 91,874
votes were polled, and against it 84,-
037. In the following year the Legis-
lature enacted "a prohibitory law.

The Royal Commission Enquiry

In 1893 the Canadian Royal Com-
mission on the liquor trafflc visited
severai cities of Kansas and examined
Bixty-flve witnesses. They learned
that it was difficult to enforce the law
in Kansas City, Kan., which is only
separated by a river from Kansas
City, Mo., where license law is in oper-
aton ; and that similar difficulty was
''xperienecd in Leavenworth, on the
Missouri River, which is a military
post, and has a large foreign popula-
tion. Notwithstanding these unfavor-
able conditions, many witnesses testi-
lied that even in these cities the law
hac\ done very much good. In other
parts of the State the beneficial effects
of the law of prohibition were strik-
ingly manifest. More than three-
fourths of the witnesses examined un-

hesitatingly testified to the good effects
of the law. A number of persons who
had opposed the adoi)tion of prohi-
bition, declared that they had been
led to change their views by its satis-
factory working, and now strongly
favored it. The following extracts
from the evidence taken are merely
samples of many similar atatementa
that Were made :

8. M. aardenBhlre, of Topeka, Clerk the
District ( County) Covrt, said :

We have no criminal business to
speak of in this county, and we have
not had since the adoption of the pro-
hibtory policy. We have less than
four cases on our docket now. In this
county of eighty thousand people. We
do not average a capital offence per
year in this court, and this court has
exclusive criminal jurisdiciion. We
have sent less than twelve men to the
penitentiary in the past year from
this county for all crimes.

Hon. Mr. Gains, State Superintendent of Pub-
lic Instruction, said :

The effect is grand. In Dickenson
County I stood before one of the high
schools and asked how many of the
pupils had never seen a saloon. Out
of an attendance of 140, over 100 of
their hands went up in answer : they
were yo'ing boys and girls who had
never seen a saloon. We have a four
weeks term of special training for
teachers in the summer months in
each county, and I have asked as many
as 140 or 150 teachers at these asseni-
Iilages how many had never seen a
saloon, and in answer the majority of
hands went up. This shows that we
have driven the saloon from the State.

Col Jansea Abemathy, Manufacturer, Leaven-
worth, said :

I believe there is great improvement
even right here in Leavenworth, in
comparison with the time before the
law was passed. I know a great many

men" who have quit drinking. Al-
though the law has been poorly en-
forced, I believe a great deal of good
has come of it, even here, although
this la probably the hardest place in
the State of Kansas in which to en-
force the law, owing to its peculiar
circumstances.

" Facts, not Opinions "

In May 1892, Sir Joseph HlclcBOU,
chairman of the Commission, ad-
dressed a letter to Hon. L. D. Lewel-
ling. Governor of Kansas, asking for
Information regarding State liquor
legislation and its effects. In reply
he received the following letter :

Executive Department, Governors
Office,

Topeka, April 19th, 1893.
Mr. J. Hlckson, Chairman, Montreal,
Canada.

Dear Sir, — Replying to your letter
of the 4th inst, I have the honor to
submit the document, " Prohibition in
Kansas," which I think covers most
of the points required in your letter.
Trusting this will be satisfactory, I
am yours very truly,

L. D. Lewelllng, Governor.

The full title of the pamphlet ac-
companying this letter was " Prohibi-
tion in Kansas ; Facts, not Opinions."
It had atached to it the following cer-
tificate :

"Topeka, Kan., April 10, 1889.

" We have examined the statement
piepared by the President and Secre-
tary, and the ex-president and ex-sec-
rctary of the Kan.sas State Tei 'per-
ance Union, upon the subject of Pro-
hibition and its results in our State.
We find it a fair, honest, and true
statement of our condition, and we
heartily endorse it as such.

(Signed)
" Lyman (J. Humphrey, Governor,
"William Hlggins, Sec. of State,
" Timothy McCarthy, Auditor of State,
" J. W. Hamilton. Treasurer of State.
" G. W. Winaiis, Stipt. Public Instruc-
tion,
" L. B. Kellogg, Attorney-General,
" Albert H. Horton, Chief Justice,
" D. M. Valentine, Associate Justice,
" W. A. Johnson, Associate Justice."

The document thus submitted by
the Governor is worthy of special note.
Its statements, endorsed as they are
by high officials, must be accepted as
accurate and thoroughly reliabU.
Among the clear declarations which
It makes are the following :

The law is effi<iently and success-
fully enforced. The direct results of
its enforcement are plain and unmis-
takable. We believe that not one-
tenth of the amount of liquor is now
used that was used before the adop-
tion of the p.ohibition law.

Our citizens fully realize the happy
results of the prohibition of the manu-
facture and sale of liquor, as these re-
sults are seen in the decrease of pov-
erty and wretchedness and crime, and
in the promotion of domestic peace
and social order — in the advancement
of general enterprise and thrift. In
our opinion the prohibition law is now
stronger with the people than it was
when adopted. It has more than met
the expectations of its warmest friends.
It is steadily winning the confidence
and support of thousands who were its
bitterest enemies.

Recent Evidence
Another Important and reliable
document of later date is a work en-
titled, " Prohibition in Kansas," pub-
lished last year by Mr. T. E. Stephens,
who was secretary of the Kansas State
Temperance Union from 1895 to I'.'Ol.
In this book are embodied a number
of testimonials from men in Kansas,
occupying high official positions, and
well qualified to express authoritative
opinions as to the effect of the law.
We quote a few :

W. E. Stanley, Wichita. Governor of Kansas ;

I have often said, and say yet, that
1 believe prohibition at its worst is
better than high license at its best.

A. R. Tavlor, President Kansas State Normal
couege 1882 to 1901 :

To those teachers who have taught
in cities, where rum power ruled
everything, dominating even the ap-
pointment of teachers and the method
of managing the pupils, and who have

aiso taught in Kansas, the advan-
tages In favor of prohibition are 3o
ronvlnclng that they are practically
unaDlmous In Its support.

F. H. Snow, Lawrence. Ex Chancellor Kaosai
State Unireriity :
After a residence of more than thirty
years In Kansas I can give my em-
phatic opinion that the amount of In-
toxicating liquor used by Kansa.s
people has been vastly reduced since
the adoption of the prohibitory
amendment. I can especially testify
to the superiority of prohlblt'on over
license In the university ti'wn in
which I realde. The temptation to
the use of strong drink have been
greatly reduced to university students
by the abolition of the open saloon.

Jadfe F. O. Adama, twenty four yean Secre-
tary Kansas State Hiitorlcal Society

The prohibition policy has broken
up the organized traffic in intoxicants
used as a beverage.

My impression is that It has dimin-
ished the consumption at least three-
fourths, probably very much more.

The money formerly spent for drink
goes to better support families, and
to provide them with homes and the
comforts of life.

This policy has proved a financial
benefit to the public by lessening the
expenses of crime, and by adding to
the efficiency of our industrial forces.

It has improved the public morals
by transferring dissipated Idlers froi.i
the saloon to the home and fireside,
and from places of revelry to tlie
lecture-room and to church assem-
blases.

It Is no more difllcult to enforce pro-
hibition than criminal laws in gen-
eral.

John P. St. John, Ex-Oovemor of Kansas :

Let it be remembered that the poor-
est enforced prohibition is better than
the best enforced license ; for the evils
inflicted by the liquor traffic under
prohibition are in violation of the law,
while under license, they are sanc-
tioned by it. Outside of the larger
cities in the State, there is not one-
tenth part as much liquor consumed
as there is by an equal population m
any State under license.

We have thousands of children m
our public schools who never saw a
man drunk, and tens of thousand.^
who never saw a saloon In Olatiie,
my home city, we have not had a sa-
loon for over twenty years. We have
public waterworks, electric lights,
paved streets, excellent telephouo
system, four splendid public schofil
buildings, fifteen churches, anJ rarely
a drunken man. I have resided In
this, Johnson county, for thlrty-twn
years, and I do not know a drunken
farmer In the county. There Is not a
parallel in any licensed territory ol
equal population on earth.

John A Martin, Ex Governor of Kansas :

The following statements were made
by this gentleman in his retiring mes-
sage to the Legislature in 1889 :

Fully nine-tenths of the drinking
and drunkenness prevalent in Kansas
eight years ago have been abolished,
and I affirm with earnestness and em-
phasis that this State, to-day, is the
most temperate, orderly, sober com-
munity of people in the civilized
world.

The abolition of the saloon has not
only promoted the personal happiness
and general prosperity of our citizens,
but it has enormously diminished
crime, has filled thousands of homes
where vice and want and wretched-
ness once prevailed, with peace,
plenty, and contentment, and has ma-
terially Increased the trade and busi-
ness of those engaged in the sale of
useful articles of merchandise.

Notwithstanding the fact that the
population of the State is Increasing,
the number of criminals confined in
our penitentiary is steadily decreasing.
Many of our jails are empty, and ail
show a marked falling ofi in the num-
l)er of prisoners confined.

The dockets of our courts are no
longer burdened with long lists of
criminal cases. In the Capital dis-
trict, containing a population of neariy
60,000, not a single criminal case was
on the docket when the present term
began. The business of the police
courts of the larger cities has dwin-
dled to one-fourth of its former pro-
portions, while in cities of the second
and third-class the occupation of
poKce authorities is practically gone.

Newspaper Evidence

Hc'llable and well-postPd Journala
oiroborate thU personal testimony.
Two years ago tl e New York Tribune
hail a thoroURh Investigation made
Into toe working of Kansas prohibi-
tion. The following la an extract
from the report of the Tribune's
investigator :

The real fact la simply this : There
are no drunkards In Kansas. The
l,lear-eved, pimply-cheeked old soak,
who reeled about all day steaming
with whiskey or beer, Is a thing of the
past. . . All attempts to resub-
mit the question are voted down at
, very session of the Legislature. The
law Is enforced as well as any other
law In at least four-flfths of the State.
U is as easily enforced as any otier
law in nlneteen-twentlLths of the
State, and the popular feeling is lor
the enforf-ement of this law wita as
much rigor as any law."

Elfccton Politics
The Kansas City Journal is the
leading daily of Missouri. Its atti-
t\ide was at one time unfriendly to
prohibition. In a recent editorial
ii, makes the following statements :

" Twenty years ago Kansas was con-
suming as inucb liquor per capita as
any State in the Union. It was tue
fashion for everybody to drink. Po-
litical conventions were oftiimes but
another name for good, old-fasbioned
drunks.

" The saloon was the rendezvous or
the politician, and the birthplace of
platforms and politics. Tho saloon-
keeper was himself a power, and
shaped in a large degree the destinies
of the community in svhioh he phed
bis avocation. He levied tribute
upon parties and cadidales with the
Imperiousness of a Caesar.

" It is hardly necessary to say that
such a picture would not now tit
Kansas. Her political conventions of
the present are now a model of so-
briety and good order. The drink-
ing-place is no longer a rendezvous
for the politician. When he goes

"The Kansas Joint as It at pres-

It is no longer gay and debonair for
the young man to be seen emerging

cumstance which covers him with

two pictures in mind, it Is hard, in-
deed, to say that the results of pro-
hibition have been anything but
wholesome."

Local Pre'is Te«timony
Kansas Journals have been out-
spoken In their testimony to the
beneficial effects of prohibition. Here
are a couple of recent ext;acts :
Tlie Kanias City Joavnal :

The Kansas poor-houses are most
all empty, and the bank vaults are
crammed full of deposits. The farm-
ers are out of debt, and have plenty
of grain and cattle which they can
sell at high prices whenever they want
to go to market."

The Kansaa Itsue :

T. Porter Smith, of England, an
ofllcer of the United Kingdom Alli-
ance, is making a special duty of the
temperance conditions in various
countries, and has just spent several
months In Kansas watching the work-
ing of the prohibitory law. The fol-
lowing is his testimony regarding
prohibition :

" I have visited many countries, and
have studied the various liquor laws,
especially in England. Canada, and
the United States, and I know of no
license community in the world
where there is so little apparent
drunkenness, crime, or poverty as in
Kansas."

■' would be easy to add to this
mass of evidence which is only a small
part of the available overwhelming
evidence of the success and usefulness
of the Kansas Prohibitory Law.

THE FACTS ABOUT MAINE

A Cloud of Witneues

Th« Law ii KffMtiTt and foforoed and Dot
Maeh Oood

The State of Maine has had a pro-
hibitory law in continuous operation
alnce 1858. This law prohibits the
manufacture and sale in the state, of
tntoxtcating liquor, except for medici-
nal, mechanical, and manufacturing
purposes.

In its general plan it resembles the
Ontario Liquor Act, 1902. but the On-
tario Act has special advantages over
the Maine I-aw in its provision for en-
forcement, inrlufilnf,' the appointment
of special provincial officers.

The enforcement of the Maine law is
largely in the handa of officers elected
by the citizens In different localities.
It will readily be uuderstood that In
places where temperance sentiment is
not strong, law enforcement by these
elected offlclala will be weak.

Endorsed by the People

The difficulty mentioned no doubt
make.s it impossible to carry out the
prohil)itory law as effectively as a
similar law could be carried out in a
Province constituted and governed as
is Ontario. The Maine law has not
abolished drunkenness. It has, how-
ever, been so far effective in this direc-
tion, and so far a benefit to the peo-
ple, as to merit and receive the cordial
approval of a great majority of the
citizens, many of whom have now had
forty years' experience of it.

It is not eoinjr too far to aay th.".t the
public opinion of the State unhesitat-
ingly endorses the law, and that there
would be no hope of an attempt to se-
cure its repeal. In the year 1884 a
popular vote was taken upon the ques-

tion of making prohibition not merely-
statutory but constitutional. To thfr
electorate was submitted a proposal
to embody the principle in the funda-
mental lav,r of the State. The vote
upon the prohibitory amendment stood
as follows :

For 70.78»

Against 23,811

Majority for prohibition 46,97?

In the year 1895 the advocates of
license secured the introduction into
the State Legislature of a bill for re-
submitting this question of conatitu-
tional prohibition to the people. A
strong campaign was made In Its fa-
vor, but the proposition was defeated
In the Legislature by a vote of 114
to 13.

Dnmkenneii and Crime
It Is difficult to get exact statistics
of the extent to which drunkenness
prevails In any country or locality.
Official documents show the number of
commitments to jail, and in some
cases the number of convictions
made for the offence of drunkenness.
In different States and Provinces.
There are also available police reports
giving the number of arrests for
drunkenness in different cities. There
are no statistics showing the total
number of arrests for drunkenness in
different Provinces and States.

Nor would such statistics indicate
the relative extent of drunkenness in
different places unless accompanied by
statements showing the practice of
the authorities in dealing with drunk-
enness. From evidence taken by the
Royal Commission on the Liquor

THE CAMPAIGN MANUAL,

Traffic we learn that men are arrested
for drunkenness Jn Maine who would
scarcely be noticed in some other
States or In Canada. For example.
Police Judge Andrews, of Augusta,
said, " We are strict here In arresting
men. If a man steps cross-legged he
Is taken care of." Mrs. Stevens, of
Portland, president Maine State W.
C. T. U., said, " Men and women both
are arrested here under conditions
that thejr would not be arrested un-
der In a licensed State."

There Is, however, abundant evi-
dence of the ' '. lal effect of the
Maine law in . ' .i>.ii to drunkenness.
Ex-Crovemor Dingley, when a member
of the United States Congress, made
the following statement :

In 1855 there were 10.000 persona
(one out of every forty-flve of the
population) accustomed to get beastly
drunk ; there were 200 deaths from
delirium tremens annually (equivalent
to 300 now); there were 1,500 paupers
(equivalent to 2,200 now); made thus
by drink ; there were 300 convicts In
the State prison and Jails (equivalent
to 450 now); and Intemperance waa
destroying a large proportion of the
inhabitants and of the homes through-
out the State. Now not one In 300
of the population Is a drunkard— not
one-sixth as many; the deaths from
delirium tremens annually are not 50;
and criminals and paupers (not Includ-
ing rum-sellers) are largely reduced,
notwithstanding the great Influx of
foreigners and tramps.

We may judge of the beneficial effect
of prohibition by the extent of seri-
ous crime, of which there are reliable
records, and much of which is known
to be the result of Intemperance. The
Minority Report contained the fol-
lowing statement regarding this mat-
ter :

Maine's convict record is lower than
that of any other State in the Union,
and much lower than that of Canada.
And Its tendency is steadily down-
ward. The State prison report for
1892 said : " The number of convicts
has noi been so small for many years.

The average this year is ilxUen lesa
than last year."

This low record would be still lower
but that capital punishment was abol-
ished in Maine many years ago, since
which time, those who In most other
States and In Canada would have
been executed, are life convicts In the
Slate prison. Deducting these, a re-
rent comparison of the records of
Canada and Maine showed that Maine
had In proportion to the population,
little more than half as many con-
victs as Canada.

nildt liquor MUng

The most frequent violations of the
prohibitory law are In some of the
large cities where the authorities do
not favor prohibition. Enforcement
Is most difficult In the cities of Port-
land. Lewlston, Bangor, and Bldde-
ford. Portland Is a seaport, and has
the class of population peculiar to
such places. Lewlston and Blddeford
have large foreign populations.
Bangor Is headquarters of an exten-
sive lumber business, and contains a
large population of sailors. Evi-
dence given in regard to even these
places shows that the law must be
an Impediment to the traffic, as in-
convenient tricks and subterfuges are
frequently adopted by sellers and buy-
ers to screen their lawlessness. The
Deputy Marshall, of Lewlston. de-
scribed the method of conducting the
traffic there as follows :

They have no open bars here. They
have bars here at the back of the
store, but they have what they call
strong rooms, with thick doors about
six or seven inches thick, and bars
on the door ; they generally know
their customers pretty well, and they
open the door for them when they
want a drink. They have a little
hole to peep through, and if they
knO" *hrlr roan thoy will open the
door for him and let him In, and then
they will pull down the bars on the
door. Sometimes the sheriff comes
in to search, and while fie is trying to
force the strong door the man has
time to take his liquor and spill It

THE CAMPAIGN MANUAL.

into the sink, and, of course, when
the sheriff comes inside the room he
does not find anything.

Such testimony proves that liquor
selling is difficult and limited. Even
in Cumberland county, including the
city of Portland, the law under
Sheriff Pearson, an able, fearless, and
conscientious officer, has been made a
great success.

Evidence of Anti Frobibitioiiisti
That the law does good, notwith-
standing difficulties, is manifest even
from the evidence of its opponents.
The Royal Commission questioned
eighty-eight witnesses in the State.
Three-fourths of them unhesitatingly
endorsed the prohibitory law as a
benefit. Nearly every one of those
who did not favor the law admitted
that it had done good in the State at
large, and not one of them favored
the abolishing of it in rural localities.
Here are a few specimens of the state-
ments of these opponents :

Mayor Staples, of Biddeford— " One
effect of the prohibition law has been
far as it goes is that the prohibitory
to prevent the sale of liiiuor in small
villages."

Mayor Beale, of Bangor—" My
knowledge of the rural districts so
law is enforced in them, and that it
works well."

Ex-Mayor Newell, of Lewiston— " I
think the prohibitory law, so far as
the county portion of the State is
concerned, is a success."

Mr. P. H. Brown, of Portland—" I
should say, without hesitation, that
the law has done extremely well for
our country towns."

Other Evidence

It would be impracticable to sum-
marize in the limits of this leaflet the
forcible case made out by more than
three-fourths of the witnesses who un-
hesitatingly and strongly testified to
the beneficent effects of the prohibi-
tory law. We can quote only a few-
expressive sentences :

Rt. Rev. Bishop Healey, R.C.— " In
our little villages and country places,
where public sentiment maintains the
prohibition law, it has done a great
deal of good."

Rev. Matt. S. Hughes, of Portland—
"My church is the largest Methodist
church in the city out of seven or
eight. I do not know of a family
in my church where there is a drunken
son. It is estimated, so the commit-
tee tell me, that we have five hundred
families in my parish, and since I
have been here, I have not been called
into a home on account of liquor."

Sheriff Cram, of Cumberland —
" You might go through ten of these
towns in the northern part of thu.
county and not be abie to get one
single pint of liquor, whereas, in the
little town of Baldwin (where I was
born), before the law, it was sold by
barrels, hogsheads, and puncheons."

A. L. Bangs, of Augusta-" That the
prohibitory law is a benefit to the
State of Maine In every possible way
you can speak of it, both In regard to
Its business and from a moral stand-
point, there is not any question."

A volume might be filled with
similar statements. All the Gover-
nors of the State, since prohibition
was enacted, have in their official de-
liverances declared that the law was
good. These are men who would
know, and who would not misrepre-
sent. Here are some specimen utter-
ances :

Gov. Daniel F. Davis, 1880— " The
principle of prohibition has been so
long the settled policy of the State,
and has been found so useful and effec-
tive in suppressing the liquor traffic,
that no party or class of men now
dare assail it"

Governor Frederick Robie, 1883—
" In a large part of the State, em-
bracing more than three-fourths of
our population, the liquor traffic Is
practically unknown."

Governor Joseph R. Bodweli, 1887 —
" In from three-fourths to four-
fifths of the towns of the State, the
law is well enforced, and has prac-
tically ahnlished the sale of spiritu-
ous and malt liquors as a beverage."

Governor E. C. Burleigh, 1889—
" Both by constitutional provision

THE CAMPAIGN MANUAL.

and statutory enactments, Maine has
permanently prohibited the manufac-
ture and sale of alcoholic liquors, ex-
cept for medicinal and mechanical pur-
poses. Long experience has demon-
strated the wisdom and advantages of
this policy."

CHa ." ■'. "J It U a SnooeM

A candid reading of all the evidence
taken by the Commission must con-
vince an impartial inquirer that the
opinion so forcibly expressed by the
great majority of the witnesses ex-
amined is well founded. They testi-
fied unhesntatingly to the good that
had been accomplished. Their state-
ments fully justify the summing up
made by the Minority Report in the
following terms :

If a diminution of the sale of liquors,
the lessening of the many evils
which result from such sale, the
strengthening of sentiment antagon-

istic to legalizing the traffic and the
clearly expressed will of the people
favorable to prohibition may be re-
garded as proof of the success of the
prohibition system, then your com-
missioner, with all these facts before
him, cannot avoid the conviction that
the prohibitory law of Maine, despite
defects and many infractions, has
been, and is, a marked success.

It has greatly reduced the consump-
tion of liquors in the State ; has
created a strong public sentiment
against both drinking and selling
liquors ; has banished drink shops
from fully three-fourths of the State;
has degraded the liquor traffic so that
no person with any pretension to re-
spectability thinks of engaging in it ;
has restricted illicit liquor selling
more effectually than any other sys-
tem has ever done ; has been attended
by peace, plenty, and prosperity ; and
has commended itself to the favor of
the vast majority of the people of the
State as a beneficent law, markedly
promotive of the public welfare.

A NATIONAL DISGRACE-VOTE AGAINST IT. f^^^i

THE CAMPAIGN MANUAL.

SOBER BY LAW

There are some very common ex-
pressions, oft-quoted sayings, that
embody serious fallacies. They have
an oracular sound, and an aphoristic
style, that mislead those who do not
take the time and trouble necessary to
investigate them. One of these is the
trite, would-be-maxim, frequently
used as an argument against the pro-
hibition of the liquor traffic : " You
cannot make men sober by Act of Par-
liament."

We reply : You must ! That is
what Parliament is for. The object
of law is the well-being of the com-
munity, the protection of the rights
and interests of the individuals that
constitute society. Now a drunkard
is a danger to society. The in-
ebriate without mental restraint to
control his inclination to crime is, as
far as his fellows are concerned, on a
par with the scoundrel without moral
restraint to keep him from crime.

Both evils must be dealt with by
the same authority, that is, by law.
We have laws framed expressly tor
the suppression of gambling-houses,
brothels, places for the receipt of
stolen goods and other agencies that
facilitate certain crimes ; why not for
the suppression of the liquor traffic
that facilitates drunkenness and all
Its attendant woes and crimes ?

True, there are crimes to-day not-
withstanding good laws relating to
them, and probably there would be in-
temperance, notwithstanding good
laws relating to it. But good laws
restrain and minify those evils. So
they would this.

If we keep drink from drunkards,
we make them sober. The drunkard
Is a danger to society. Law is In-
tended for the protection of society.

If law cannot protect us against the
drunkard, then Government is a fail-
ure and legislation a humbug. You
must make men sober by Act of Par-
liament.

Law does make men sober waen it
finds them drunk. We would change
the plan of doing it, because the pro-
tection to society, thus secured, is only
temporary. We want it permanent.
Who ever heard of fines or imprison-
ment curing a confirmed drunkard '!
We complain of the present expensive
system, because it is Ineffectual, and
plead for better and cheaper protec-
tion, by the si-^ple method of locking
up the drink "ad of locking up the
drunkardr i ig them, generally

at the ex i? >l those who are al-
ready the . I- t, and often innocent
sufferers.

Law works against crime in two
ways. It provides deterrent and
reformative penalties. It also pro-
vides preventative enlightenment and
education. It assumes that intelli-
,ience will act in discernment of the
nature of wrong, and moral principle
will impel to avoidance of it, so it
furnishes agencies for the develop-
ment of intelligence and moral princi-
ple. Drunkenness prevents apprecia-
tion of the penalties, and destroys the
intelligence and moral principle.

If the operation of law is to be
effective at all upon those who need
it most, the counter-working agency
must be removed. Law ought to
make men sober, because intemper-
ance is the deadliest foe to the carry-
ing out of the object of right legis-
lation. It can do this only by put-
ting down the drink-traffic. Freedom
for the right means suppression of
the wrong.

THE CAMPAIGN MANUAL.

THE CATHOUC CHURCH
Strongly in Favor of Temperance

Great Go:d Work for Moral Reform
Strong DtUverancfs of Eminen Men
The Roman Catholic Church has for
a long time waged a vigorous warfare
against the liquor habit and the liquor
traffic. Magnificent work has been
done by me Catholic Total Abstin-
ence Union, of the United States, and
by the League of the Cross in Great
Britain and Canada.

It wouii. be easy to quote many for-
cible statements from eminent priests
and prelates, who have done splendid
service lor humanity In their holy
warfare against the giant evil of in-
temperance.

A Brave Bishop's Fight
One of the hardest struggles between
the liquor party and the Catholic
Church was that begun in an order
of Bishop John A. Waterson, of the
Diocese of Columbus, Ohio, In which
that prelate took strong ground
againt the admission of liquor-sellers
into Catholic societies. The Bishop
did not in this order condemn the
liquor business itself, but his deliver-
ance regarding liquor sellers read as
follows :

" To give greater efficacy, both to
the recommendations of the bishops
and to the declarations of our Catholic
laity at the recent congress in Chi-
cago concerning the saloon business, I
hereby withdraw my approbation from
any and every Catholic society or
branch or division thereof in this
diocese that has a liquor-dealer or
saloon-keeper at its head, or anywhere
among its officers, and I suspend
every such society itself from its rank
and privileges as a Ce.tholic society
until it ceases to be so officered. Hap-
pily there is not much occasion for
such suspensions. I again publish

the condition without which for some
years past I have declined to approve
of new societies or new branches of old
organizations in this diocese, namely :

" That no one who is engaged
either as principal or agent in the
manufacture or sale of Intoxicating
liquor can be admitted to member-
ship."

There was, of course, strong objec-
tion to this action, and an appeal was
made against the Bishop's decision,
which appeal was finally settled by
the Papal Delegate at Washington,
Mgr. Satolli, whose decision set out
the soundness of Bishop Waterson's
decision, and said :

" We call upon all pastors to in-
duce any of their flocks who may be
engaged in the sale of liquors to aban-
don as soon as they can the danger-
ous traffic, and to embrace a more be-
coming way of making a living."

A Great Council's Deliverance

The Catholic Third Plenary Council
held at Baltimore in 1885, made this
declaration among many others :

" We call upon all pastors to Induce
any of their flocks who may be en-
gaged in the sale in liquors to aban-
don as soon as they can the dangerous
traffic, and to embrace a more becom-
ing way of making a living."

Of the deliverances of this Council
sent on to Pope Leo XIII. and in his
reply to the part relating to intem-
pernce, he said :

" It is well known to us how ruinous,
how deplorable. Is the Injury, both to
faith and to morals, that is to be
feared from Intemperance in drink.
Nor can we sufficiently praise the pre-
lates of th( United States, who recent-
ly, in th" Plenary Council of Balti-
more, wli. weightiest words, con-
demned this abuse, declaring it to be
a perpetual Incentive to sin and a
fruitful root of all evils, plunging the

families of the Intemperate into direst
ruin, and dragging numberless souls
down to everlasting perdition; declar-
ing, moreover, that the faithful who
yield to this vice of intemperance be-
come thereby a scandal to non-Cath-
olics, and a great hindrance to the pro-
pagation of the true religion."

Cardinal Manning's Views

His Eminence, Cardinal Manning, in
a speech made at Bolton, England,
some years ago, took very strong
ground in reference to the evils of
intemperance and the necessity for
prohibition. He said :

" I impeach the liquor trafittc of high
crimes and misdemeanors against the
commonwealth, and I ask you, in the
name of common sense and common
justice, can you withhold from those
intrusted with the high responsibility
of the ballot the power of applying
their Dtes in the form of a veto
when It Is proposed, without consult-
ing them, to put in the midst of them
these places for the sale of intoxicat-
ing drinks ?"

" It is a mockery to ask us to put
down drunkenness by moral and re-
ligious means, when the Legislature
facilitates the multiplication of incite-
ments to intemperance on every side.
You might as well call upon me as
the captain of a sinking ship, and say:
' Why don't you pump the water out?'
when you are scuttling the ship in
every direction. If you will out oft
the supply of temptation, I will '.?
bound by the help of God to convert
drunkards; but until you have taken
oft this perpetual supply of intoxicat-
ing drink we never can cultivate the
fields."

\7bere Father Mathew Stood

Probably no temperance reform ever
accomplished more good than did the
famous Father Mathew, who conducted
the wonderfully successful temperance
crusade in Ireland more than half a
century ago. After a life of earnest
effort on moral 'suasion lines, this
great man came to the conclusion that
It is absolutely necessary to have
moral 'suasion work supplemented by

legislation, and two years before his
death In a letter written to Rev. Geo.
W. Pepper, he wrote as lollows :

"The question of prohibiting the
sale of ardent spirits and the many
other intoxicating drinks which are to
be found in our unhappy country is
not new to me. The principle of
prohibition seems to me the only safe
and certain remedy for the evils of
intemperance. This opinion has been
strengthened by the hard labor of
more than twenty years in the tem-
perance cause."

Archbishop Ireland's Position

Archbishop John Ireland Is known
throughout Christendom as an earnest,
progressive, and devoted worker for
the good of humanity. In an address
to the Minnesota Catholic Total Ab-
stinence Union some years ago, he
made the following strong statement :

" We thought we meant business
years ago in this warfare, but I hope
God will forgive us for our weakness,
for we went into the battlefield with-
out sufficient resolution. We labored
under the fatal mistake that we could
argue out the question with the rum-
sellers. We imagined that there was
some power in moral 'suasion, that
when we would show them the evil
of their ways they would abandon the
traffic. We have seen that there is
no hooe of improving in any shape or
form the liquor traffic. There is noth-
ing now to be done but to wipe it out
completely."

An Experienced Worker's Statement

Rev. Father T. J. Conaty, of Wor-
cester, Mass., has had personal experi-
ence in Msssachusetts towns changing
from license to no-license, and he has
written as follows :

As in the days of Father Mathew.
we are face to face with the great
legalized business, depending for its
life upon the satisfaction of appetite,
and feeding oftentimes upon the
weaknesses of human nature.

The liquor business, which as a
business is the source of much of the
intemperance which prevails, is in-
■;:renched in a legal statute. Yet

THE CAMPAIGN MANUAL.

oftentimes in ita strength it flaunts
Its banner in the face of the law,
threatens the desecration of our Sun-
day, violates all that is sacred of man
and society, stands against all reform,
menaces all attempts for the purity
of our citizenship and the honor of
our homes.

It is the only business which, pro-
tected by law, often defies law. It
raises its triumphant hand and at-
tempts to decide law. It violates the
domestic happiness, breaks the home,
paralyzes labor, gluts the jails and
prisons, terroiizes the giant of society,
hastens to untimely graves, and gloats
over '^e ruin it has accomplished.

Shall we He down to have this
Juggernaut car roll over and crush out
our lives ? Shall we allow disorder
to rule us ? Shall intemperance en-
ter our homes ? Shall our mothers
b- threatened with intemperate lives,
our fathers allowed to become drunk-
ards, our boys and girls grow up a
prey to its wild ravages ?

God forbid ! let us set our faces
against this evil, let us arm ourselves
to fight thiJ demon, urge men to be
Bober, urge legislation that will make
it easy to do right, difficult to do
wrong.

Other Strong Opinions
From the deliveraace of a number
of other eminent Catholic divines, we
clip the following statements :

" Don't sell liquor. I would rather
see any young man become a tramp
and beg from door to door, than to
sell liquor for a living. There is no
meaner or more contemptible way of
getting a living than by selling sum."
— Rev. Father R. J. Barry, Hyde Park,
Mass.

" One of the great blessings of ' no-
Ilcense ' is, that it has crippled the
power of the saloon — one of the most
powerful, bold, persistent, and audaci
ous opponents to what is good." — Rev.
Father Thos. Sculley, Cambridge,
Mass.

"The saloon is the recruiting office
of the devil, of blasphemy, and of in-
fidelity. It is the duty, therefore, of
all who love God and the Church to
oppose the Influence of the saloon." —
Rev. Father C. J. Bums, Providence,"
R.I.

" We know that intemperance has
wrought evil in the liberties of our
country, and in the politics of our
country. Oh, the meanness of our
politics that will be led by the grog-
selling element !"— Rev. Father W.
Elliott, C.S.P., of New York.

" Any American citizen who says it
is impossible for us to put down those
evils, to enforce the laws that are
upon the statute-books against the
liquor interest, I would say to him he
ought to abdicate, we are able to do
it."— Most Rev. W. H. Elder, D.D..
Archbishop of Cincinnati.

A Plea for Temperance and Prohibition

To raise the moral and intellectual
nature, we must put down the animal.
Sensuality is the abyss in which very
many souls are plunged and lost.
Among the most prosperous classes,
what a vast amount of intellectual
life Is drowned in luxurious excesses.
It is one great curse of wealth, that
it is used to pamper the senses; and
among the poorer classes, though
luxury is wanting, yet a gross feeling
often prevails, under which the spirit
is whelmed. It is a sad sight to walk
through our streets, and to see how
many countenances bear marks of
letharg>' and a brutal coarseness, in-
duced by unrestrained indulgence.

Whoever would cultivate the soul,
must restrain the appetites. I am
not an advocate for the doctrine that
animal food was not meant for man;
but that this is used r.mong us to ex-
cess, that as a people we should gain
much in cheerfulness, activity, and
buoyancy ot mind, by less gross and
stimulating food, I am strongly in-
clined to believe.

Above all, let me urge on those who
would bring out and elevate their
higher nature to abstain from the use
of spirituous liquors. This bad habit
is distinguished from all others by the
ravages It makes on the reason, the
Intellect; and this effect is produced to

THE CAMPAIGN MANUAL

a mournful extent even when drunk-
enness is escaped.

Not a few men, called temperate,
and who have thought themselves
such, have learned, on abstaining
from the use of ardent spirits, that
for years their minds had been
clouded, impaired by moderate drink-
ing, without their suspecting the in-
jury. Multitudes In this city are be-
reft of half their intellectual energy
by a degree of self-indulgence which
passes for innocent. Of all the foes
of the working class, this is the dead-
liest.

Nothing has done more to keep
down this class, to destroy their self-
respect, to rob them of their just in-
fluence in the community, to render
profitless the means of improvement
within their reach, than the use of
ardent spirits as a drink. They are
called on to withstand this practice,
as they regard their honor, and would
take their just place in society. They
are under solemn obligations to give
♦.heir sanction to every effort for its
suppression. They ought to regard
as their worst enemies (though unin-
tentionally such), as the enemies of
their rights, dignity, and influence,
the men who desire to flood city and
country with distilled poison.

I lately visited a flourishing village,
and on expressing to one of the re-
spected inhabitants the pleasu'-e I felt
in witnessing so many signs of pro-
gress, he replied, that one of the
causes of the prosperity I witnessed
was the disuso of ardent spirits by the
people. And this reformation, we
may be assured, wrought something
higher than outward prosperity. In
almost every family so Improved, we
cannot doubt that the capacities of the
parent for intellectual and moral im-
provement were enlarged, and the
means of education made more effec-
tual to the child.

I call on working men to take hold
of the cause of temperance as peculi-
arly their cause. These remarks are
th? more needed in consequence of
the efforts made far and wide to an-
nul, at the present moment, a recent
law for the suppression of the sale
of ardent spirits in such quantities
as favor intemperance.

I know that there are intelligent
and good men who believe that, in
enacting this law. Government trans-
cended its limits, left its true path,
and established a precedent for legis-
lative interference with all our pur-
suits and pleasures. No one here
looks more jealously on Government
than myself. But I maintain that
this is a case which stands by itself,
which can be confounded with no
other, and on which Government,
from its very nature and end, is pe-
culiarly bound to act.

Let it never be forgotten that the
great end of Government, its highest
function, is not to make roads, grant
charters, originate improvements, but
to prevent or repress crimes against
individual rights and social order.
For this end it ordains a penal code,
erects prisons, and inflicts fearful pun-
ishments. Now, if it be true that a
vast proportion of the crimes which
Government is instituted to prevent
and repress have their origin in the
use of ardent spirits; if our poor-
houses, work-houses, gaols, and peni-
tentiaries are tenanted, in a great de-
gree, by those whose first and chief
impulse to crime came from the dis-
tillery and dram shop; if murder and
theft, the most fearful outrages on
property and life, are more frequently
the issues and consummation of in-
temperance, is not Government bound
to restraih, by legislation, the vending
of the stimulus to these terrible social
wrongs.

Is Government never to act as a
parent, never to remove the causes
or occasions of wrong-doing ? Has
it but one instrument for repressing
crime, namely, public, infamous pun-
ishment, an evil only inferior to
crime ? Is Government a usurper,
does it wander beyond its sphere by
imposing restraints on an article
which does no imaginable good, which
can plead no benefit conferred on
body and mind, which unfits the citi-
zen for the discharge of his duty to
his country, and which, above all, stirs
up men to the perpetration of most
of the crimes from wl ch it is the
highest and most solemn ofllce of Gov-
ernment to protect society ? — Rev. Dr.
Channing.

CRIMINAL COMPUaTY
Voters Who arc Partners in Evil-Doing

The Sin : nd Shame of the License Me hod

The liquor traffic in all lt3 phases
is a criminal business. It is a crime
against the individual, the home, the
church, and the State; for it destroys
the individual; it breaks up the home;
it cripples the church; it weakens the
State. Bishop Foster once said :
■• The traffic in Intoxicating liquors is
that gigantic atrocity of Christian
civilzation that mothers nine-tenths of
all the woes and sorrows which blight
and curse our modern age." This
strong statement Is wholly within the
bounds of truth. A business pro-
ducing

Such Awful Results

cannot be carried on without criminal
conduct on the part of its proprietors.
A license law cannot relieve the
saloon-keeper from the guilt which
necessari'y attaches to the traffic in
which lie is engaged. He is a
criminal in the eyes of both human
and divine law. Webster defines
crime as " any violation of law, either
divine or human; any aggravated
cffence against morality or the publi'"^
welfare; any outrage or great wrong.
Then, according to Webster, the great
lexicographer, is not

The Saloon Keeper a Criminal

aginst law both human and divine ?
For, is not the liquor traffic an
" aggravated offence against morality
and the public welfare ?" Is not the
saloon an " outrage and a great
wrong " against the home, especially
against the wives, the mothers, and
the children ?

Yes. the liquor traffic is a crime
and the saloon-keeper is a criminal
against the laws of God and man. He

Violates Human Laws

giving them respect only so far as
policy advises him to obey them. He
not onlv violates prohibition laws,
which absolutely forbid the sale of
Intoxicating liquors as a beverage, but

he also disregards the restrictive pro-
visions of the license laws under the
protection of which he carries forward
his business. Does not the license
law say that

He Shall Not SeU

on the Sabbath ? That he shall not
sell to minors ? or to drunkards ?
That he shall not permit gambling In
his saloon, or harbor prostitutes ?
But many saloon-keepers violate most
if not all these restrictions Impudently
and constantly.

The saloon-keeper not only violates
human laws, but he

Violates Divine Law

also, even when he carries on his
business in strict accordance with hu-
man law. God's law as expressed
in the Ten Commandments forbids
idolatry, profanity, Sabbath desecra-
tion, dishonoring parents, murder,
adultery, theft, false witness, and
covetousness. But the liquor dealer
enthrones Bacchus and Gambrlnus as
gods, worship at their altars, and leads
many others to join him in bacchana-
lian revels; he profanes the name of
God and also makes blasphemers of
others; he violates the sanctity of the
Sabbath, and turns the holy day into
a carnival of

Vice and Crime

he dishonors parents by leading their
sons and daughters into lives of in-
famy and shame; he makes murder-
ers of and slowly murders his patrons;
he sells liquor that inflames lust,
arouses the passions, and thus often
causes men and women to commit
adultery; he robs men in that he takes
their money and gives them no
equivalent, but reduces them to a
point where they must steal or
starve; he will perjure himself and
bribe others to commit the same
crime if occasion requires, and he is
prompted to carry forward his awful
work by a

which Beekg gain without regard to
the damage he Infllctfl on society.
Certainly the man who thus flagrantly
Tiolates tho laws of Ood and man Is a
3rlminal and deserveB to be punished,
having sacrificed all claim to the re-
spect of good people, and to the enjoy-
ment of special privileges under forms
of law. But another question must
now be asked :

\rho Else is Retpontiblc?

Is the saloon-keeper alone respon-
sible for the criminality of the busi-
ness he conducts ? Is not society
criminally allied with him ? Is not
the community which not only stands
by and tacitly consents to the continu-
ance of the liquor trafllc, but also
votes to legalize it and shares in its
revenue, criminally responsible and
equally guilty with the saloon-keeper
for the evils which result from the
saloon ? la not .therefore,

The License Voter

equally responsible for all this misery
and woe caused by the saloons ?

In the case of the Homestead riot-
ers, Judge McKee, of Pittsburg, in
rendering his decision, said : " The
law makes every man who stands
Idly by without any effort to suppress
the riot and disorder, guilty of riot-
ing. Such a man is responsible for
the consequences of the rioting and
disorder, whether the rioting results
In the loss of property or the loss of
life. No matter what the result, such
a man is

Equally Guilty

for such degree of crime as the facts
and the results warrant." If the
liquor traflBc as now carried forward
is a crime, then, according to the rea-
soning of Judge McKee, all who stand
idly by without any effort to suppress
liquor selling, are equally responsible
for all the evil results that flow from
the selling of liquor. But the case is
still worse than that, fbr society does
not simply stand idly by witnessing
the horrors of the rum traflSc but by
law, and by its ballots,

Liceases This Traffic

and shares In its preceeds.

The community Is made up of Indi-
viduals, but what the community does

as a whole the Individual member of
the community does personally, if he
approves and helps to bring about the
thing done. Hence the man who
votes to license and legalize the
saloons is equally guilty with the rum
seller for all the evils which the
saloons Inflict upon the community.
There is no escaping that conclusion,
for behind the liquor seller Is the
liquor license, and behind the liquor
license is the liquor voter, who by
his ballot says license the saloons, for
without

The Conient of the Voter

there could be no saloons.

Therefore, if the man who sells
liquor is wicked. Is not the man who
votes to license the saloons and thus
gives the saloon-keeper power to sell
liquor, equally guilty with the man
who sells the liquor ?

The criminality of the union be-
tween the saloon and the license voter
is emphasized by the fact that he de-
sires to share, and does share, as a
citizen, in the profits of this criminal
business. The license fee goes into
the public treasury and represents the
financial interest of the citizen in the
saloon. It thus makes the citizen

A Silent Partner

in the saloon business. It is a well
known fact that saloons are often
started and run by men who have
neither character nor capital. But
the capital is furnished by some
silent partner who receives part of
the profits; otherwise such men could
not start a saloon at all. But the
silent partner who furnishes the capi-
tal with which to start the saloon,
even If he never enters the saloon, we
all say is

Just as Guilty

before God for the evil results of that
saloon as bis open partner who stands
behind the bar and runs the business.
The silent partner enters the business
to make money, to pay his taxes, to
Increase his bank account, etc. Now,
is not the man who votes to license
the saloons, simply because the license
fee will reduce his taxes, and thus put
money in his pocket, a silent partner
in the rum business, the same as the
man who furnishes the money with
which to start the saloon ? The

both enter the business and become

—to make money? The man who
votes for license because It will re-
duce his taxes goes to the ballot box
and says : " I vote to license the
saloons becauso I want part of the
saloon profits with which to pay my

LAW ENFORCEMENT

It is 8omellmP8 argued that a pro-
hibitory law would be more difficult
of enforcement than Is a license law.
Facts do not bear out this theory.
The liquor-favoring party In their
efforts to discredit prohibition, ca 1
attention to any violations of prohibi-
tory law, while practically nobody
i.ays any attention to persistent and
widespread disregard of the provisions
of license laws.

This is strikingly manifest in the
fact that where the number of places
licensed to sell liquor la greatest, there
the sale by unlicensed places is gener-
ally greatest as well. The fewer the
legalized places, the fewer will be the
places that strive to evade the law.
It is not needful now to set out the
reasons for this condition. They arf
well known. We simply call atten-
tion to the fact.

Take, for example, the city of To-
ronto. Thirty years ago it had a
population of about 60.000. and had in
operatioa 530 liquor licenses. To-day
with a population of more than 225000
it has only 205 liquor licenses, yet the
unlicensed places that sell llq«or a^e
fewer to-day than they were thirty

vears ago. .

It Is nearly thirty years since a pro-
minent brc>ver in arguing against re-
strictive legisiation. openly ^tated that
in Toronto a thousand places sold
liquor without license. Iv giving
evidence before the Royal commis-
sion on the Liquor Traffic a few years
aeo Mr. Thomas Dexf . License In-
spector for Toronto, emphatically

stated that there were not then one
hundred unlicensed liquor selling es-
tablishments in this city. More re-
cently the law against Illicit liquor
selling has been still more vigorously
enforced Few people woulJ venture
to say that there are more than one
hundred unlicensed dives In Toronto
at present.

These figures might be put In an In-
structive table showing the population
of Toronto for every licensed and un-
licensed liqnor selling place In, say.
the years 1872 and 1!W2 as follows :
In 1872.

1 licensed place for every 113.

1 unlicensed place for every 60.

1 licensed place for every 1,097.
1 unlicensed place for every 2,250.
To put this fact in another way we
might take the number of licensed and
unlicensed places for each 10000 of
I he population in 1872 and 1902, and
we find it to be—

In 1872.
88 licensed places.
1*56 unlicensed places.

In 1902.
licensed places.
4V2 unlicensed places.

That Is to say, speaking propu- tlon-
ately to the population, the licensed
places are reduced to one-tenth of
what they were before, and the un-
licensed places are reduced to one-
thirtysixth of what they were before

ALCOHOL AND THE HUMAN BRAIN

By B«T. J«Mph Gook, 0.0.

Most poisons and medicines act in
the human system accordlug to a law
of local affinity, by which their chief
forces la expended on particular or-
gans, and sometimes on particular
spots of particular organs.

Now, as all chemlsto admit, the local
affinity of alcohol is for the brain.
Dr. L^wls describes a ca«e in which
the alcohol could not be detected in
the fluid of the brain cavlticB. nor. in-
deed, in any part of the body, but was
obuined by distillation from the sub-
■tance of the brain itself.

Dr. Percy distilled al-ohol In large
quanUties from the substance of the
brains of animals killed by it, when
only small quantities could be found
In the blood or other parts of the sys-
tems of the same animals.

Dr. Kirk mentions a case in which
the brain liquid of a man who died in
intoxication smelt very strongly of
whiskey, and when some of j: was
taken in a spoon, and a candle put be-
neath it, the flame burned with a
lambent blue flame.

Dr. Bucknell quotes Forbes Winslow
as having testified before a Committee
of Parliament that tb- liquid dipped
from the brain of an ha situal inebriate
can thus be burned.

But brain Is the organ of the mind
Whatever is a disoii-aaizer i f the
'^rain is a disorganizer of mind, and
hatever is a disorganizer of mind
1.S a disorganizer of society. h is
from this point of view that the right
of Government v, prf^vent the manu-
f tcture of madmen and paupers can
\>ti best seen.

siders the '.se of alcohol in ilth .s
entirely superfluous. The exp rimeu--
«-rs agree with the majority of physi

clans that. In the armv and navv. and
for use among healthy persons alo<
hoi, even as a ration H^rlctly limited
to a moderate quantity, is physiologic-
ally useless and gtiierally harmlul.

Upon different portions of the brain
the action of alcohol can ! distinctly
traced by medical science aud even b-
common observation. The brain i*
will be remembered, j.s divided into
three parts. The upper, which com-
prises the larger part, and which is
supposed •-) be th.- seat of the Intel-
lectual anj mora! faculties, is called
til- cerebrum. Below that In the
back part C the organ, is another
maas. called iie cerebellum, parts of
wnich are jelieved to controi the con-
tractions of the musci«8 in portions
of the body. still lower is the

over th» nerves of splration.

THE CAMPAIGN MANUAL.

The vessel has wheeled Into the
trough of the sea; a black shadow ap-
proaches swiftly over the waters, and
the compass and helm are deserted.
That speculating mate, Love of Money,
who, if sober, would see the danger,
and order every rag down from Jib
to mainsail, and make the ship scuu
under bare poles before the black
squall, now, on the contrary, orders
up every sail and spreads every thread
of canvas.

The rising storm whistles In the
rigging, but he does not hear it. That
black shadow on the water is swiftly
nearing. He does not see it. In the
trough of the sea the ship rocks like a
cockle shell. He does not feel it.
Yonder, before the dense rush of the
coming blow of air rises a huge wave,
foaming, and gnawing, and groaning
on high. He does not heed it.

With a shock like the opening of an
earthquake it strikes the broadside ;
with a roar it washes over the deck;
three snaps like cannon, and the
heavily-rigged masts are gone; a lurch
and sucking in of waves, and the hold
is full of water, and the sinking ship
just survives the first heavy sea.

Then comes out Mirthfulness, and sits
astride the broken bowsprit, and ogles
a dancing tune. The crew dance !
It were possible, even yet, to so man
the pumps and right the helm as to
ride over the swells and drive into
port, but all action for the right gov-
ernment of the ship is ended. Trum-
peter Language mounts the shattered
beams of the forecastle, and makes an
oration; it is not necessary to work,
he tells the crew, but to hear him
sputter yams.

It is fearful now to look upon the
raging of the black sea. Every mo-
ment the storra Increases In fury. As
a giant would toss about a straw, so
the waves handle the wrecked timbers.
Night gathers her black mists into
the rifted clouds, and the strong moan-
ing sound of the storm is u?!>rd on
the dark ocean. By that glare of
lightning I saw a sail and a life-boat !
Men from another ship are risking
their lives to save the insane crew
whose masts are gone. They come
nearer, but the boat bounds and quiv-
ers, and is nearly swamped upon the
top of a wave.

Jack Courage and Independence see

the boat coming. " Ship ahoy," shout
the deliverers. "Life-boat from the
ship Temperance ! Quit your wreck
and be saved." No reply. inde-
pendence grinds his teth and growls
to Jack Courage that the offer of help
is an Insult. " I will tell you how to
answer," says Jack, stern and bloodv.
There Is one cannon left with a dry
charge. They wheel that upon the
approaching boat, and Independec ^
holds the linstock over the fuse-holf.
" Life-boat for sailors on the wreck,"
shouts Philanthropy from the ap-
proaching boat. " What answer, ship
Immortal ?"

Then shoots from the rmgmg gun a
tongue of flame, and ten pounds of
iron are on their way. The Temper-
ance boat rocks lower from the wave-
top, and the deadly reply just grazes
the heads of the astounded philan-
thropists and buries Itself heavily in
their own ship beyond. It was an
accident, they think, and keep on,
board the ship, and stand upon its
deck.

Then flash from their scabbards a
dozen swords; then click the locks of
a dozen muskets; then double the
palms of a dozen fists; then shake the
clubs of a dozen maniac arms, and the
unsuspecting deliverers are murdered
on the deck they came to save. As .
the lightning glare I see them thrown
into the sea, while thunders are the
dirge of the dead and the damnation
of the murderers.

The drunken ship is fast filling with
water. Not a man at the pumps, not
an arm at the helm. Having de-
stroyed their friends, the crew fall
upon each other. Close under their
bow rave the breakers of a rockv
shore, but they hear it not. At In-
tervals they seem to realize their con-
dition, and their power yet to save
themselves, but they make no effort.
Gloom, and storm, and foam shut them
up apainst hell with manv thunders.

In this terrible extremity Independ-
ence is heard to refuse help, and
boasts of his strength. Friendship
and Parental Love rail at thoughts of
affection. Language trumpets his easy
yarns and grows garrulous as the
timbers crack one after another. Rage
and Revenge are now the true names
of Firmness and Courage. Silly-

Mirth yet giggles a dance, and I saw
him astride the last timber as the ship
went down, tossing foam at the light-
ning Then came a sigh of the
storm, a groaning of waves, a boom-
ing of blackness, and a red. crooked
thunderbolt shot wrathfully blue Into
the suck of the sea where the ship
went down. ,

And I asked the names of those rocks,
and was told : " God's Stern and Im-
mutable Laws."

And I asked the name of that ship,
and they said : " Immortal Soul."

And I asked why Its crew brought It
there, and they said : " Their captain.
Conscience, and helms jan, Reason,
were dead." .

And I asked how they died, and
they said : " By one single shot from

we shall some day cease to dream.

MILITARY MEN ON DRINKING.

The most successful and renowned generals of the present
day are outspoken in their approval of temperance habits as
essential to the well-developed bodies, good health and power to
endure hardship, which the effective soldiers' duties demand.

The recent South African war has been full of instruction
on this point. At Bloemfontein lately in a famous speech.
Lord Roberts said that:—

,'.'?1,"^'*^P'■?!?*^ *° ''*= ^^^ ^^^^^^ °^ '"'e best behaved army in the
'J? .r-V^K^y ^^^ fought splendidly, marched uncomplainingly, and endured
all the hardships of the campaign. The whole army have been members of
the Army Temperance Association. Modder River was all they had to
dnuk and sometimes little of tliat. "

This famous soldier's advocacy of total abstinence is well-
known and his testimony to the superior abilities of the total
abstainers in his army was very clear. In a public letter to
Hon. Conrad Dillon he stated his belief : —

"That nothing but good can result from so many soldiers from all
parts of the Ivmpire being brought together in an arduous campaign when
they see how splendidly our Temperance men have borne up against the
many difficulUes and dangers which they had to face."

-Ord Kitchener has taken almost as strong a position.
He carried on his famous Soudan campaign of 1898 on a strictly
total abstinence plan. Concerning that great feat Mr, Bennett
Burleigh, the noted war correspondent, wrote : —

'' 'I may admit,' wrote Mr. Burleigh, ' that, so far, the men have had
neither beer nor rum rations issued to them, nor did the few articles offered
for sale at stiff prices in their canteens include liquor of any kind The
Sirdar, as well as Major-General Gatacre, set his face like flint aeaiiist th,-
issuance of beer to the British troops. It has been shown again Ind aeain
that a beer ration in the Soudan had a ruinous effect upon the men's health
and morale. Greeks and others who had smuggled wine and spirituou--
comjjounds into camp had the liquor seized and poured out UDon the
insatiable desert sand." *^

Lord Roberts and Lord Kitchener were following the
example of illustrious predecessors. Among the men whose names
stand as having accompli.shed great things in history we have
noted total abstainers like Hannibal, Mohammad,'^ Saladin,
Charles XII of Sweden, and more modem heroes like Gen. Lord

Napier and Sir Henry Havelock, whose opinions may be briefly

stated as follows :— . . „ , ^

•'My own experience as well as that of a few others m Bengal Con-
tinKent certainly goes to establish the fact that water dnnking is the best
regimen for a soldier. ' '—Sir Henry Havelock.

"On reviewmK the records of soldiers' offences all practically have
their origin in drunkenness. Of 18,000 men under my command in India
the total abstainers had no crimes. The temperance men had Pf actaca ly
none The whole body of crime. ^M among the non-abstainers. '-Field-
Marshall Lord Napier.

Some Startling facts in army statistics bear out all that has
been said. An official return from India some years ago showed
that in the Bengal Presidency where rations of rum were issued
to the soldiers, the ratio of deaths in a long period was 73 per
thousand, while in the Madras Presidency, where only rations
of porter were allowed, the death rate sank to 38 per thousand,
and among the members of the Total Abstainers Society of the army
the death rate stood only at the nominal figure of 1 1 per thousand.

Writing of the famous Red River Expedition conducted by
ifird Wolseley, Captain Huyshe said : " Never have soldiers of
any nation been called upon to perform more unceasingly hard
work yet intoxicating liquors formed no part of the daily
rations. Lord Wolseley, who led the expedition, said :—

"The old superstition that grog is a good thing for men before, during,
or after a march has been proved by the scientific men of all nations to be a
fJuacy. and is only maintained by men who mistake the cravings arising
from habit for the promptings of nature."

We add only one more testimony, although hundreds might
be cited. It is that of Sir Geo. White, who in an address on the
2 vd of August of the present year, at Aberdeen, Scotland, said:—

•M V lords, ladies, and gentlemen, it is no part of tny ^ luty here to-day to
eive you a lecture on temperance, but I will say fus, and say it with the

fntered i^o with the nation with courage, ner^•e. endurance, and to use
thole arms of precision which modem warfare has rendered a necessity, the
first and greatest essential is temperance."

EOTTLE

lUus'rated by J. V. Bin^ough.

This slightly modified report of Mr.
Woolley's famous speech has already
been published and widely circulated,
but it is so forcible that it has been
thought wise to give it the further
circulation that this reproduction of
it ensures.

" Woe unto him that giveth his
neighbor drink, that puttest thy bottle
to him, and makest him drunken
also."— Hab. 11, 15.

This text is a double star in a con-
stellation of curses. It is a royal text
for Christian citizenship touching
" the drink." The first clause reads,
" Woe unto him that giveth his neigh-
bor drink;" — to that we all say
Amen! But wait — read on; "That
puttest thy bottle to him." What
about • thy bottle ? " That is what it
says — not a bottle, nor his bottle, but
"thy" bottle. You say, "Certainly,
any bottle, no matter whose — the woe
is in the putting." But wait, I think
you will see it makes a trightful dif-
ference. Whose bottle ?

Noticp the verb " puttest." Verbs
must agree with rheir substantives in
person and number. If the woe were
only to " blm " the other man, the
dramsell^f, — th* verb would be " put-
tpth." (fi- *h¥* other hand, if the woe
were only tor the owner— the " they "
of the tent, " him " would not have
been put for the subject of th-^ sen-
fcenoe— yet it is ; but " puttest " agrees

with " thou." The curse is joint and
several, to cover him who puts the
bottle to his neighbor's lips, and his

silent partner, who has a right by pro-
perty or authority in the bottle. Have
you a bottle ? Is there a bottle on
your sideboard ? No ! you thunder,
your house is not a drinking place.
Answer ! but wait —

Here is a saloon,
gilded, glazed, em-
bossed, polished and
fairly phosphoreR-
cent, in your eyes
and n|ine, with
hell-light. Whose
is it ? Let us enter
and inquire ? You
hesitate ? Come
in. " Let the drink
alone and it will
not hurt you," they
say. It did not work so with my
mother.

She let it alone, but it whipped the
last years of her life Into one great
wave of pain. My wife was an excep-
tion, too. She never touched It, but
in the very flush and pride of her
young womanhood. It crushed her to
the very dust with everlasting heart-
aches.

So It seems John Smith conducts
the place. He actually, or by his
agents, "puts the bottle." But why
Is this license so carefully provided ?
Why, do you not see ? It Is the theory
of our wise Government, that the only
right to put the bottle to a cltzen's
lips Inheres In the sovereignty, and
the Province has delegated its alco-
holic sovereignty derived from the
people to John Smith, for without
such leave of the people to do this
thing, John Smith would be plain
John Smith, and of no more conse-
quence than a clergyman or a mer-
chant of honest wares. He Is knighted

Whose Is this saloon ? We ask a
bartender. He looks us over shrewdly
—fine judges of human nature, these
men— knows at a glance that we mean
mischief, and his eyes wander without
a word to the framed certificate on the
wall. It is a diploma from the Gov-
ernment showing John Smith to have
been graduated from the Collfgo nf
Restricton, and expressly authorizing
him, for that reason, to put the bottle
to his neighbor's liPS.

as it were,— Sir John Smith, dram-
seller to their sovereign majesties,
the people. Are you in that ? 1 want
you to remember that a saloon is as
national and as lawful as a public
school. I seem to see upon the face
or the rags of every drunken man a
legend like you often see on packages
of whisky or tobacco. " Take notice,
the manufacturer of this a tc'.e has
complied with all the requirements of
the law, according to the statute in
such rases made and provided."

Now, in this gross sum that men call
sovereignty, what are you ? A digit
or a dot ? You'll say— a digit, by the

grace of God, and a Christian man.
Amen ! but wait —

" Suppose you are remotely in this
tiling. What of it ? Listen. If by
your consent, express oi tacit, your
taxes are diminished by the shame-
gold o. license laws. I say that, in
the sight of God, there's blood on
every dollar you own.

I am talking to men who acknow-
ledge the binding authority of the
Bible, and especially such as feel con-
strained to do temperance work. If
you have a bottle anywhere, don't try
to help intemperate men ; the band
that holds the bottle cannot lift help-
fully on fallen men ; the heart that
consents to a bottle cannot feel help-
fully for fallen men.

Men say to me: " What we need is
a great revival of religion," but I tell
you there will never be a great re-
vival in this country, till Christian
men repent in sackcloth and ashes,
for their part in the liquor traffic
under license laws.

Break the public bottle ? You
can't ? You've never, never tried.
You have tried to keep it corked on

Sundays and election days. You
have tried to keep it from drunkards,
and boys, and Indians — but the drunk-
ard was drunk yesterday, is drunk to-
day, and will be drunk to-morrow,
and for every drunkard that drops
down, a boy starts in to fill the gap.
How do you break the people's bottle?
You vote to break it. The ballot is

the freeman's little blast set in t'le
rock of error, honeycombing it by slow
and often imperceptible degrees.
But if it seems hopeless ? What is
your duty ? Simply to wash your
hands of the saloon.

Four words answer all arguments.
" We must be politic," says one. Not
with my bottle ! " They will have It."
Not from my bottle. "It will be
sold on the sly." Not from my
bottle. I am not bound to abolish
the saloon, but only my interest
in it. I'll vote my fraction of the
Referendum right, and I'll carry my
share of it for prohibition. I am not
bound to be successful, but I am
bound to be true. A square man is
never wrong side up. " My vote won't
count." Listen: "Abraham believed
God, and it was counted." The drink
curse may go on piling up woe in
this country, but

"NOT FROM MY BOTTLE."

THE ROOT OF THE MATTER

• The love of money is the root
of all evil." Of course the cause of
wrong Is not the riches but the pas-
sion for being rich. The golden calf
was harmless In itself; It was its idol-
atrous adoration that " wrought folly
in Israel."

Lust for gain is the root, crimes and
evils of every kind are the branches;
and vhe strongest and most terrible of
these Is the evil of Intemperance.

The sin that weakened the hands
of the Hebrew warriors, when Achan
hid the golden wedge, is the sin that
to-day paralyses the arm of many a
soldier of truth, and that frustrates
the efforts of those who are striving
to make the world better than it U.
The whole structure of the strong
drink traffic rests on the unholy
foundation of avarice, and If that
foundation can be removed, the edifice
must come down.

the ocean, provided they secure a
trifling share of plunder. One of
these scenes is vividly described In a
subjoined poem, and an apt compari-
son made between this horrible occu-
pation and the business of selling
drink.

The business of the dealer In drink
has been aptly compared to that of
the wrecker. On certain wild and
rocky coasts bands of lawless men
live who maintain themselves by
plundering vessels that may be
wrecked In those dangerous localities.
Not content with the spoils that the
tempests may bring them, they use all
sorts of devices to lure vessels upon
the shoals and rocks.

Then when, perhaps. In the dark-
ness of the midnight, amid the roar
of the storm, the gallant ship strikes
the remorseless reefs, and the cries of
despair rise higher than the roar of
the surging billows. Instead of seek-
ing to succor those whom they have
led astray, these heartless creatures
gather up whatever spoils the waves
wash to their feet, even plundering
the drifting corpses of their victims,
heedless that hundreds are hurried to
eternity, and valuable treasure lost In

It Is an awful thought that we have
In Canada to-day about ten thousand
" professional wreckers " licensed by
law, living under the sanction and
protection of what Is called a Chris-
tian Government. Men whose wealth
and prosperity are In pre ortlon to
the amount of wretchedness entAlled
on their unfortunate victims. *

Ten thousand plague-spots of pollu-
tion, schools of Bin, flash their glided
temptation In the face of every
passer-by, and at street comers and In
conspicuous places are hoisted
treacherous signals to lure the un-
wary llfe-voyager to the reefs of moral
and eternal ruin. Avarice steels
men's hearts to participation In the
nefarious business, and avarice Is
what leads the public to tolerate them
In doing It.

This lust for gain Is a sin of com-
munities as well as Individuals, and
the license fee Is the mighty cable by
which Mammon binds this living na-
tionality to the corrupting carcass of
the horrible drink system.

As long as this la the case, there Is
a fearful responsibility upon every
member of the community who does
not exert all his Influence to have
things otherwise. The grass Is green
to-day on four thousand graves that
drink dug In Canada last year. Still
the pestilence rages !

Let us beware. We are a young
and vigorous people. Our record Is
grand, and our future looks bright,
but there are perils In our pathway.

SAVE THE BOYS

" Every father in Ontario has an opportunity on December 4th of voting
to bring into operation the law which abolishes the bar-room In the Pro-
vince."— J. W. B.

Edmund Spenser tells us in his delightful allegory, the " Faerie Queene,"
of a huge, great dragon that Infested the land, devouring Its bravest^nd
loveliest sons and daughters. At length the Red Cross Knight of holiness
fought, vanquished and slew the monster, and the land had rest. This
allegory finds its fulfilment In our Domln'on to-day. The worm of the
still Infests Its highways and byways. It drags its slimy trail over homes
and hearts. It devours the bravest and the best assets of Canada, Its
stalwart men, its fair women, its Innocent children; and, what Is worse, It
changes the husband and father Into a demon, and often perverts the boys
of c ur household Into gibbering drunkards.

We have a chance to destroy this dragon by our vote on December 4th.
Surely every father with a spark of human feeling in his heart will use
that vote for the protection of the children whom God hath given him.
What father or mother would not rather see their children dead in their
cofllns In the innocence of youth than behold them grow up to fill a drunk-
ard's E/aves. We have the opportunity of a lifetime. Let us use It In
God's name, or we may live to repent with bitter and unavailing regret
our cowardice, our selfishness, our sin. — Onward.

Tune— " Tramp, Tramp, Tramp."

In the wretched haunts of vice, where
the shadows of despair
Hide the sunlight that would gladly
enter In,
Where the widow droops her head,
where the orphans cry for bread.
Oh. 'tis there the work of love we
must begin !

Chorus : —
Shout ! oh, shout ! the day is dawn-
ing;
Soon the clouds will break away.
And the rocks and hills shall ring
With hosannas that we'll sing.
For the promise of that great and
glorious day.

With an earnest love of truth, with a
hatred of the wrong.
Brother, sister, friend, and neighbor
shall unite;
Oh ! that happy time will be all crea-
tion's jubilee !
And the angels, too, will bless the
wondrous sight.

Bid the slumbering soul awake, and
the fainting heart restore,
There is mercy, there is hope, for
every one.
See the temperance flag unfurled over
the awakened world !
•Tis the signal of the conflict we've
begun.

Lift your eyes unto the hills, and the
' brilliant rays behold,
Like a crown of glory on the brow

Let Us Save thel Drunkard

Air— "Scatter Seeds of Kindness."

O'er the dark and cruel regions

Where the slaves of drink abound.
There are voices ever calling

From the ruined, crushed and
bound.
There are wrongs that need redress-
ing.

There are foes who challenge fight,
There are giants need repressing.

Darkened souls who need the light.

Then let us save the drunkard.
Let us sweep the drink away.

If we knew the bitter anguish

Of the hearts with sorrow riven ;
Could we number all the thousands.

Who to ilark despair are driven ;
Could the tears that fall in millions

Tell us each their tale of woe,
We should linger not in rising

To defeat this deadly foe.

From the mouths of hungry children
There are voices bid us arm.

From the haunts of squalid mls'ry
There are cries that sound alarm ;

From the broken hearts that linger
Ere they drop into the grave,

There are notes of earnest pleading-
Are there none to help and save ?

Widows' wail, and orphans' sorrow,

r>runkards' gloom and dying groan.
Cheerless homes, and homeless chil-
dren

Bid you make this cause your own.
Now the hour is come to rally.

And to set the captive free ;
Heaven and hell Inquire and wonder

What your answer now will be.

For the little ones who languish

At a drunken mother's breast ;
For the prodigals In anguish.

Seeking hopelessly for rest.
In the name of Him who cherished

E'en the least, and even you,
if you feel his claims are pressing.

Tell him now what you will do.
— Mrs. Commandant Booth.

A LABOR LEADER'S VIEWS

Terrible Evils that Must bo Faced The Heed for Vigorous Personal Mort

John Burns. M.P.. ri!-^ famous CnR-
lish labor leader, detivprpd recently
in London, io an immense audiv'ncp
of workingmen, an address upon the
social condition of the working claset'S.
Onf of the matters discussed was (lie
liquor question, of which he spniv*' as
follows :

•' I deem it my duty to say that but
fur drink and its concomitant evils
our problem would 1)6 smaller and our
remedies more effectivp.

■ TaU(- one phase of last year's lun-
acy in Lonilon. These are the de-
tei-minins or contributory causes : Out
of l.fiTl patients received in 1900, in-
temperate in drink. 584: domestic
troubles. IJtS; adverse cirt umstances
191 ; worry and overw-irk. ICt; : luve
affairs. aT>: roligiotis excitement, -"it.
Certainly it is safe to say that 20 to 30
per rent, of lunacy Is due to liquor,
and probably more if the transmitted

md hereditary inllnoiice of drink could
l)e accurately measured.

" .\o "bonder that a worldly paper,
written t)y worldly people for men of
th.^ world, should say, as The Referee
did on October 2<Hh, 1901 : ' Poverty
insanity, crime, rii-wase. and death are
the flagran- followt-rs of drunkenness.
There is i)robably no other sirgli
cause which is one-iialf so fruitful in
mischief to mankind."

" Dark as that picture of drink and
its causes is. there is a bright side so
far as crime is concerned. Iri 18t;8, 4til

THE CAMPAIGN MANUAU

To penons not familiar with the
United States liquor system, these
figures aro very misleading. The ex-
planation of them is simple. The
Federal Government pays no attention
to the question of enforcement of SUte
liquor laws. It simply requires every
person who sells liquor to pay a tax
of twenty-five dollars per year. The
penalty for selling without paying this
tax is very severe.

As a result, druggists, compounders,
persons proposing to violate the law,
take out licenses, or, rather, simply
•' tax receipts," to protect themselves
against the t,f\ere penalty.

When a man is convicted of violat-
ing a State liquor law, the federal
authorities compel him to pay this tax,
BO tliat In some cases the issue of a
tax receipt may simply mean that the
man has been punished for violating
the State liquor law, and the excise
officers have compelled him to pay the
national tax-

The facts in regard to Maine are
fully set out in the following article
taken from The Union Signal, of
Chicago :

" When any one in the State or
Maine Intends to break the law c i^i
State and sell liquor he uh>:':.>
promptly pays his United States
revenue tax. He runs the risk of be-
ing ' caught ' under the provisions of
the Maine Prohibitory Law, and he
cannot buy a license or pay a tax that
will exempt him. but he pays the
United States tax, and then the United
States Is done with, and as much as
says, ' It is nothing to us what the
law of the State Is, we deal with you
from a national standpoint.' Usually
In Maine Uncle Sam is pretty strict in
looking up those who are trying to sell
liquor without having paid the UnltPd
States tax, and in fact there are very
few who try to sell without it.

" There are 506 cities and towns and
78 plantations in Maine. There are
302 towns and 78 plantations where we

have good proof there is no attempt to
sell liquor, because no one living in
those places pays the United Statei
revenue tax, and, as has been said, a
rumseller will run the risk of violat-
ing the Maine law, but seldom runs
the rlf k of violating both the State and
Federal law. It ought to be remem-
bered that in the localities where the
prohibltor' law Is violated the viola-
tion of law la no greater than that
against license laws In licenae Sutea,
for the prohibitive features of license
laws are not enforced.

" Again, we will suppose that 1,191
people in Maine pay United States
revenue tax for one year with the in-
tention of reUlUng liquor, the prob-
ability is that before the year has
passed oae-half of them at least have
been driven out of business. Reli-
able statistics are hard to gather,
especially in a prohibitory State.
There is a great deal of differ ^nce be-
tween 1,191 people trying to sf 11 liquor
in defiance of law. and 34,121 actually
selling liquor supported by the law,
as they do in New York, lor instance.
"We have been In a place in Portland.
Maine, where there was a United
States revenue tax receipt hanging on
the wall when the whole stock of
trade in the place was six bottles of
root beer and a bottle of whiskey in
the rjan's hip pocket, and Inside of
a week this man, who held the United
States revenue tax. was in jail for vio-
lating the prohibitory law.

"In regard to the rectifiers and other
' dealers ' referred to, th^ sau'e ex-
planation applies to the figures given
by the revenue statistics, for instance,
the ' five breweries ' in thi State of
Maine. Very likely there were flvt
prople who intended to brew some sort
of alcoholic liquor in Maine and would
not run the risk of violating the
United States law, and so they paid
the re\enue tax ; but, as a matter of
fact beyond dispute, by any reason-
able, well-informed person, there is
not a brewery In the State of Maine,
nor has there been for many years.
Neither Is thf-re a distillery, although
prior to the enactment of the pro-
hibitory law there were in the city of
Portland alone seven distilleries anfl
two breweries. Prohibition pro-
hibits. It falls only when officials
fail to do their duty."

THE CAMPAIGN MANUAL.

beforehand, and be thorough and com-
plete. A small committee, or a few
reliable peraons ought to be made re-
Bponaible for the management of every
meeting, or a standing committee ap-
pointed to superintend all meetings.

4. Every meeting should be well ad-
vertised by announcements in as many
churches as possible on the preceding
Sunday, anu in every other available
way, such as ^y bills, advertisementB
In newspapers, and announcements in
as many other meetings or public
places as possible.

5. It Is hardly needful to sUte that
arrangements about place if meeting,
having building opened and properly
lighted, seating the audience, taking
the collection, and other details, ought
to be looked after in good time by per-
sons duly appointed.

6. The platform ought to be com-
fortably and conveniently seated, well
lighted, and, where practicable, a few
flowers or other simple decorations
secured. Local clergymen, prominent
public men, and leading workers ought
to be asked beforehand to take seats
upon the platform. Any singers or
others who take part should be seated
so conveniently that they can present
themselves when called without delay
or discomfort.

7. Where reporters attend meetings,
pains should be taken to have tables
&nd seats prepared for them, where
they can hear well and have plenty of
light.

8. If the audience is not large enough
to fill the building, those present
should be seated well forward. Many
a meeting has been spoiled hy leaving
empty seats between the speaker and
the audience.

9. It is well to have a chairman ol
reputation and Influence In the com-
munity, who should have a clear,
strong voice that can be heard in
every part of the hall, or church, in
which the meeting is held. He should
be provided with a complete pro-
gramme, and made acquainted with
those who take part, before the meet-
ing begins.

10. When a meeting is held in a
church, the pastor ought to be speci-
ally recognized. If he is not the chair-
man or one of the speakers, he ought
to assist in the opening exercises.

11. Opening services ought to be brief,
but lively, and should include a rous-
ing hymn ur chorus, in which the audi-
ence can take part.

12. A we!l-trained choir, aided by in-
struments where available, will be of
much value in preventing weariness,
and making the meeting more impres-
sive and effective. Well rendered reci-
tations, solos, or choruses by children,
are sometimes useful. Such exercises,
however, must not be allowed to take
up much time, or to interfere with the
speaking, which is the important part
of the meeting.

13. It Is a mistake to have too many
speakers. The circumstances must
decide what is desirable in each case.
As a general rule, there ou^ht to be
one address by a well-posted, experi-
enced speaker, around whose speech
the Interest of the meeting will centre.
Even this address ought not to be long
enough to be wearisome. All the other
speeches should be very short, pointed,
and lively.

14. All arrangements with speakers
should be definite. If a speaker comes
from a distance, his time of arrival
should be known, arrangements should
be made for his entertainment, and
some person appointed to meet him,
look after bis comfort, and give him
all necessary information.

15. When a meeting is not held in a
church, it is generally well to Invite
discussion or questions. In such cases
an,'j« opposition speech ought to be
made, or ques ions asked, early in
the meeting. They would come most
appropriately before the principal ad-
dress. Opposition arguments or ques-
tions must be dealt with by some per-
sons thoroughly familiar with the
facts about prohibition, and well
skilled in controversy.

16. Every one who is to take part in
a public meeting ought to know of
his duty in time. No cne should pre-
sume to make an address unless he
has carefully prepared himself, or is
thoroughly familiar with the subject
he discuaeaa.

17. Let everything be lively and
earnest. Avoid hackneyed recitations.
Do not invite injudicious or extrava-
gant speakers. Keep up the interest.
Close early.
