EDITORIAL NOTES

Anyone who has a few bushels of potatoes these days ls lucky. Gold mining has nothing on potato min- lng and we are only learning to grow potatoes.

October has given us many beauti- illl days, although "chill Novem- ber's surly blast" has once or twice blown ill through tho gradually thinning curtain.

A week ago it was the gorgeous autumn colourings; last. week it was the gorgeous moonlit sea. A few weeks hence lt will be the beau_ tlful snows. And so we go on from one stage of natural beauty to an- other. How sympathetic we should be to those doomed to live in per- petual. monotonous summer!

_ Mark Twain, while temporarily conducting a farm journal was ask- ed "What is the best way to raise turnips?" ‘His reply was "Take hold of the top and pull"! There is a better method in vogue at present in Charlottetown. Carts loaded with turnips are coming in to market daily. Under certain con- ditions of sped an occasional turnip rolls off the load and it is immed- iately seized by a youthful econom- ist and carried home to be added to the family larder. Some enterpris-

action of the government has made the liquor question a political one and many voters are by long prac- tlce accustbmed to vote always for some one party, be it Tory, Liberal. Progressive or what not.

Not Iall the Tories arc “we!” and not all the Liberals, or Uinited Far- mers arc'“dry". it seems probable that many in all the three parties will vote according to their prev- lous political principles and that many others will vote according to their convictions as to the best manner of dealing with the-liquor traffic. No doubt there will be all sorts of cross voting by both men and women just-because politics has become tangled up =witll the liq- uor question.

As was before stated the Liberal leader, Mr. Sinclair, refunds strong for prohibition, but; in the last ses- sion on a vote on the temperance question he found himself deprived oi’ the votes of six of his twelve followers. ~Ou the other hand right on theheve of the election and be- cause of the decision to adopt gov- ernment control the Ferguson (Jab- lnet was disrupted by the resigns,- tion of Attorney General ‘Nickle,

The government stands to l-ose the votes of many dry Conserva- tives and to gain some vote of wet Liberals because of the way they feel in regard to the temperance

question. And there iars other matters which will affect the vote.

Government control has proved a source of very large revenue in Quebec and other ‘Provinces. ‘it might produce anywhere from one million lo two millions of net ro- venue in a populous ‘Province sllcll as Ontario. And tibe proposal to adopt it is baited with the promise of a large reduction in provincial taxation. iFew laxpayels can =be wholly oblivious of a desire to have their taxes reduced. Some good people ‘who do not drink may find pleasure in the thought that those who imbibe freely are really pay- lug‘ the taxes of tho abstemlous ones.

..Of couractherc will be more‘ drinking, a larger consumption of inboxlcanta, probably more drunk- enness. Ardent prohibitlonist will feel very sure of that. The Moder- atloll Iseaguers may profess to think otherwise and con-sols them- selves with the hope that tihe boot- leggers" and smugglers will be put out of business, and that the new law will be better enforced than prohibition ihas been.

it stands to reason that if there is more drinking there ‘will be more drunkenness with its other attend- snat vices and crimes. And ‘how can revenue repay the moral loss and the resultant suffering and misery‘! it still remains ‘true as in all past ages that “Wine is a mocker; strong drink 1s‘ raging, and whoso- ever is deceived thereby is not wise." .

Tilers baa basn a mlctlorr against prohibition in Canada. The law has proved disappointing, because fl has not lasen well enforced, from lack of moral support behind ll and from lack of the educational influ- ences of moral suasion which was of tlhe temperance reformation in lie earlier stages.
