A GREAT OPPORTUNITY-

The refusal of the party that pro-

posed the plebiscite to be governed by the voice of the plebiscite ,seems to open up for the Conservative party in Canadaa straight path tothe retrieval of their il!-fortunes. It opens the way_for that party, if they will, to give the country prohibition. Let Sir Charles Tapper, who is at heart, we believe, a prohibitionist, take up the cause of prohibition, and test the opiziion of parliament on the question. Let him move that it is the duty of the government to obey the voice of the majority. Would the members of his"party stand by him if he did this! If they would do so, we feel assured. that with them he would obtain en- ough’ additional support among the

the people at the polls. At the head

_Sir Charles would probably carry five or six provinces out of the seven, and _he in `a position to give the temperance people what they desire. And ` how could Sir Charles better round out his distinguished career than by giving

Now, we frankly exjpress our fear

that Sir Charles will not take the

him if he should do so. But nonc the less there is a great opportunity for a leader of men to create a powerful political diversion at the coming session. Sir Wilfrid and his colleagues have terribly dis- _appointed and dissatisfied tens of .thousands of their supporters. The ministers have placed themselves in the position of refusing the wishes of the majority of the people, and prefer- ring the will of the minority--a most

for alifetime to obtain a law sup- pressive of the liquor traEic, are in no mood to patiently have the legitimate fruits of their victory at the polls snatched from them. They are more- ever earnestly desirous ` to obtain a prohibitory law. They see by present indications that the Liberal party, largely controlled as it is by the one province most hostile to prohibition, will never give them the law they ask for so long as the party is led and con- .rolled as it isat present- They must urn elsewhere And the would in

. . y .ens of thousands rally to the standard of any strong leader that would at

first ga-in the confidence of the tem- perance electorate by raising the pro- |' hibitory standard and the adoption of prohibition principles.

They have everything to gain and

little tolose by doing this. The leader and the party that now have the courage to take up the policy that Sir Wilfrid has rejected will have the pathway to power clearly open before them. They have more; -they have the privilege of con- ferring an unspeakable boon upon 1 the people of Canada !
