SHOOTING.

To be a good shot is one of the most

a ‘ | portant requirements of the soldier of | the present day.

The nation that keeps up its praotice is the nation that is going

to win in the eventof war. When we read

Of today costs all the way from one to tw thousand dollars we at once comprebend the difficulty encountered by a nation fi- nancially embarrased in giving to ber army and navy the necessary practice to make efficient marksa@en. Of all the nations today there is none wkich realizes this more and makes such ample provision for it than our own beloved Britain. Her sailors and soldiers are experts in the use of the “big guus” as well as sali aris. In Canada we spend sbont $1,500,000 in the Department of Militia and Defence We have nearly 50,000 men bearing arme. This force is being continually dried in company movements, maoualexercise, etc.,

etc. These of course, are iodispensable but ifthey shouid not be abletu shoot accurately in coming into acion

these handsome battalions would simply meit away before the tire of an enemy trained to accurate shooting. Hence the necessity for constant careful the art of shooting.

We are, therefore, pleased to see the ans nual shooting matches come arouod and to see them well attended. Before a man ventures upon the buits to compete against Lis brother soldier he must have uader,oue careful training in the use of his rifle. We therefore conciade that the man has spent both time and money (for he pays for his ammunition) in qualifying himself for the position he assumes. I[t consequently follows that the company which sends most marksmen tothe annual maiches, and carries off most prizes, wil! bea compaoy to meet upon the tented field,

Next Wednesday and Thursday, the l0tch and Llth,cur riflemen hold their matches upoo the Kensington Rifle Range. The new arm, the Lee~Eno- field, supplied to our Canadian militiamen will be used. This armis very bigbly spoken of by the men, and, as excellent as has been the shootiog iu the past, we

expect co see it surpassedat the coming

meet. The ammunition used is what is called cdrdite, itis smekeless ana we understand that the renge of the

THE PLEBISCITE. ~——

The prohi. ition plebiscite is to be taken on Sepiember 29, Touchiog this vate divergent views have been expressed in the Courch Assemblies this summer. Gentlemen, who like Pritc pal Grant, question the efficieuacy of prunibition, do not approve of 1t. Advozates of probibi- ion while accepting it, are not at one as to the end to which it points. Some regard itasastep towards the triumph of the pr ciple Others thiok it partakes more of the character of physical exercise. There are several points to be considered in con~ nestion with ‘the sue. {One of un doubted int reset is the § ct that we bev tad a plebiscite shesdy. Four cf the Libers] L<cal G ve men s, approach- ing general elections, conceived the idea of getting rid of the temperance ques'ion by submittieg it to avote, Each of the Gev- eruments pu.led through. Twat is to say, it retained office, But after office had been assured, and the pleb:scite had b:en taken, theee Goveramen's ananimously discovered that there was a grave consti- tutional question as to jurisdiction at stake, and that this would have to be settled before anything coula be done. Meanwhile the Federal! coatest loom d up’ In preparation for this struggle the very politicians who had already dete: mined upon one plebiscite met at Ottawa, in party convention, and agreed that there st 01 d be avobter. The idea was quite in acc. rd with the viewsof Mr. Tarte and Sir Wiltrid Laurier, for, in addition to the temperance colouring which it gave to the Ottawa platform, there was a preceden: for i', the plabiscite having figured in 4he Fr-nch Revolution. Thas it happened that we reaped the second plebiscite.

A great deal of labor has beea expended on attempts to elicit from the Govern meat a declaration touching the course that wi!l be pursued should the majority favor prohibition. It bas, however, been labor 10 vain. ‘There are dark hints as to revenue difficulties and constitutional dif- ficulties. One member vf the Govern- ment, tne Minister of Justice, has indeed gone 60 far as to say that the jurisdiction reate after all with the proviaces, from which it istobe inferred that the voie when taken will be laid aside, as having no bearing upon the question. The poll- tical histcry of the subject pcints to the conclusion that certain politicians, not desiringio bind thrmeelyes to any~

thing, yet wishing to figure on the pro~ hibition side, Lave formusted this plebis- cite idea to delude people who conscienti~ ously believe that prohibition would be & good thing. Sir Wilfrid Laurier’s theory would seem to be that after scoring 4 pol - itical advantage by promisirg @ plebiscite

he could wait for the vote, which if against the principle, would settle the quest.on 80 far as he is concerned and if favourable

to the principle wou'd be nullified by the raising cf a constitutional otjection. But the appiica ion of the plebiscite to our system i. point wh eh deserves consid -

eration. We bave in the Scott Act a straight referendum. The law is sub- mitted; the people vote; and the popular wish rales. But the plebiscite enacts nothing. It is an acacem'c

atlair, and however ut goes it rests with Parliament to do the legislating. So that after all the campaigning and voting we get Lack to first principles, Tn other woras, there cannot bea probibitory law unless a Parliament favorable to such # law, and having the mandate of the people for its passage, has been elected. ~Mail and Em- pire.
