the most But we

under conditions, is eee jv it no reason why prohibition should

not be tried. The same school law, for instance, is imposed upon town and coun try alike, though the conditions of town and country are widely different; but the operation of the school law is not regaraed as very objectionable on that account, It is possible that after the usual prelimivary friction, a prohibitory liquor law may be successfully applied alike 1m our country districts and in our towns. Certainly ther® is not in this objection a reason sufiicient to justify any Canadian elector in voting againet a fair trial of one prohibitory law to govern the people of the whole os Canada.

There remains but one other objection that is worth noting, viz: that prohibi- tion will not prohibit—that the I:quor traffic will flourish and drunkenners in-~ crease in spite of a law prohibiting the im- portation, manufacture and sale of liquor for beverage purposes. This objection may be talked about forever without reach~ ing a cerlainty concerning it. Bat the de- sired certainty will, in a few years, be reach- ed if the present opportunity be accepted. Thea let allthe people vote, tomorrow, to give prohibition a trial,

“The administration bere is rotten to the core. Every official is looking out for bis own interests ouly, aod if a miner without influence wauts to find out anything he bas to grease somebody’s dirty paw. One canpot even see the mining records to find out what claims are or are not recorded without bribery and corruption. There is the greatest dissati-faction shown on all sides about the way things are rub,”

There is a multitude of witnesses against the administration of affairs in the Yukon couvtry. They are crying out through every sort of channel. ‘They include men who have no selfish interest in the country and who should have no antipathy, polit - icl or personal, against the offisials, Some of therr most severe indictments have been presented through Liberal papers, and some of the sharpest demands tor reform come through Liberal papers,

A discussion was recently held in the Provincia] synod upon the low birth rate in Ontario, and the cause therefor was assert- ed to be the wide prevalance of criminal abortion and of the use of artificial means to prevent conception. The low birth rate may be due partly to the cause assigned by the ministers, but it is also associated with a very low marriage rate, which would seem to account for it in a measuse,
