The Scott Act in Ontario.

figures, showing the good results fol-, lowing the adoption of the Scoft‘ Act in Ontario, which will be most grati- fying to the friends of the Act. Eighteen counties, vvhich in l8?8 all under license, were in 1887 tinder‘ the Scott Act. The following are the results, taken from the ollicial govern- ment returns :—— ‘

These figures are startling, but they show actually what the Scott Act did in the province "f Ontario.

But. it nny he asked, why did some of these counties repeal the Scott Act? This may be re;.dily explained. They have now a l0Ctl option law in On- tario, which, as we understand it, is an improved form of the Scott Act,-- improved in this respect that.it is pro- hibition in respect to the importation as Well as sale of liquor. There is gl':1\'t'. doubt as to the power of a pro- vinciul legislature to pass such a law. Vie understand that the question is

_ now l-csoro the Privy Council, and

judging by past decisions, it would ‘seem to be an infringement on the rights of the Federal Parliament. At ail events, the friends of the Scott Act should unite in sending their petitions to Ottawa, requesting, nay, demand- ing, an amendment to prevent the importation as well as the sale of liquor. Let us keep the Act, and im prove it ll much as we can. ————--€>o—¢—————

The Examiner's Modest Request

—........

THE Exarniner calls on as to prove our statements that it has abused the Scott Act, its supporters, and the liquor dealers for trying to repeal it. It would like further if we could prove- that the liquor dealers are the pro- moters of the anti-Scott Act petition. As to our charge that the E.rmn.iner

V has abused the Scott Act it is such a "pleasant surprise and such a hopeful sign to find our contemporary object ing to the accusation that we have not the heart at this time to put it to voniuzion by the proof. If, however, the liquor dealers have had nothing to do with the petition, the onus probanrli rests with them and tho- E.z.-aminer. But we defy them to deny it. Councillor Byrne, a prominent liquor dealer, has asked for a fair and square contest over the Scott Act, declaring that if it is defeated he thinks most of the liquor dealers, in-

cluding himself, will stop importing,

and go out of the business. But we cannot forhear from giving the authority for the remainder of our statements, and although it will be admitted that authority is nbt of the best, the Exarniner will hardly ques- tion it. Here it is: '

(Speaking of the liquor dealera)—— “Cursed of God anl all good men, who put. the bot'lo to their lips, making them drunken withal and sending souls to danination."-——E.z:ctmincr, Oct. 1886.

" One of the chief causes of -the weak- ness of the temperance cause in this city and province lies in the hypocrzsy of its champtons.——E1:amincr, Aug. .9.

‘(No sympathy is, in our opinion, dug the promoters of the anti Scott Act peti- tion. ' ' ' They must know that on those two premises the success of their petition is impossible, and that they are fools for proccediugwith it. ' ' ' But they may my that which is untrue-they may know that the liquor dealers and their friends will vote against the Scott Act and for the petition. In this case they are trying to deceive the public; thoyare knaves who deserve the reprn- bation of all good men.-E2.-am., Nor. £8.

éditorial Notes

\Ve are told on the highest author- ‘

ity that one of the so-called most- respectable liquor dealers of _tbis city, who continually affects to lament the existence of illicit saloons in our midst, was actually an illicit seller himself under the license system for a consider- able time, until he was compelled to take out a license and sell according to law.

At the recent meeting of the On- tario Alliance at Toronto, on motion of Mr. F. S. Spence, Secretary of the Dominion Alliance, at resolution of sympathy with the temperance people of Charlottetown in their coming sfrugglo for the upholding of the Scott Act, was passed unanimously. It will thus be seen. that the eyes of tempor- ance workers all over Canada are upon us. Private advices from Mr. Spence’ tothe editor indicate that our Canadian friend4. including lion. Senator Vidal, Mayor Howland and Mr. HcLaren, C., feel very anxious

about Charlottetown. Let us gladden I

their hearts with a rousing majority against the petition.

Further and more complete reports of the circumstances briefly referred to in our telegram have reached us and from them we gather the following interesting, and at the present junc- ture, significant facts.

A few days since the detective made a report of his work. So astonishing were the facts presented that an effort was made to

covered that side by side with 1,100 licensed liquor saloons there existed 1,200 unlicensed all doing a thriving business. The bean houses which have become so popular during the past year or two, are reported with few exceptions to be so many brothels where the youths of the city pass their nights, gamble, drink, and Eontract disease. The houses of ill-fame were so numerous that in a well-known street of half a mile in length only one respectable house was found. These are facts, and if they prove anything it is this that 1. License law is in no sense an aid to the cause of temper- ance, but on the contrary‘ its direct and most insidious foe.
