“THE EVENT OUGHT T0

FOLLOW THE VOTE."

The latest issue ofthe Illustrated

Loudon News that has reached the city contains a brief. 'article dealing with Sir \\"ilfrid Laurier’s attitude in regard to the plebiscite and prohibi- tion. That ttlbv conducted and wide- ly circulated jnirual is not committed to prohibition in the abstract, but holds strong views as to the rights of voting majorities. \Vc ql10 tri

‘-The sjir of the vote given by Can-

ada in favour of Prohlbition 8- fdw months ago was succeeded byrl lllll- Neither party seemed anxious to mike the first move. The vote in many pro- vinces was overwhelming against the sale, or importition of intoxicating drinks, so that, despite the dissent oi Quebec. the total vote of the Dominion of Canadri sig:-ed the trade to destruc- tion. Buttne voters did not go tothe polls on either side in ,the expected numbers. ai d Sir Wilfrid Laurier has

now written to the secretary of the Pro- hibition Party to say that as only twenty three per cent, of a possible 1,233,839, persons voted forthe aboli- tion of the drink trailfic, he does not think that any legislation ought to fol- low.

“The practical diiiiculties of giving

effect to the decision of the majority are. of course, enormous; but the doctrine that the indifferent non-voter is_reall_v to carry the day against the anxious citi- zen who does tilt up his voting-paper is rather a dangerous one. It would work very oddly in England if board schools were closed because not more than twenty three per cent of the popu- lation approached the election Stations. The citizen who holds aloof from the contest is supposed to be _a consenting party to the will of the majority of those who really do care for the contest; and from that point of view the event ought undoubtedly to follow the vote.”

This is the view, not of ia temper-

ance enthusiast, nor of a politician seeking a party advantage. It is an opinion based on precedents, common usage, and a sound conviction as to the true significance of' voting and non-voting. Those who do not vote consent to the decision of those who

do and “the event ought undoubtedly to follow the vote,"

The Montreal Journal of Commerce

in dealing with the prohibition ques tion argues that if the Premier should introduce a bill for the sup- pression of the liquor traiiic it would not be certain to ass bot” houses of

~ P u s. gparliament. That is _ quite possible,

however improbable it may be. But the Journal of Commerce goes farther -and assumes that a. private member #might introduce a prohibitory

ber can propose legislation if the sort. He would be ruled out of order the moment that objection was taken. For any legislation that calls for expenditure of public moneys, or adects the revenue the advisers of the crown must be primarily responsible and His Excellency’s sanction must be obtained. It is not open to a. private

ppplriiber to introduce a prohibitory 1 .

It isa common saying that the

plebiscite cost $250,000 and came to nothing. It really cos! a great deal more than that, The quarter million only represents the official outlay. The plebiscite involved the outlay for printing, the hire of halls, the pay of public speakers,and the time given by the people of Canada in discussing the great question submitted to them by the government. It' involved the cost of providing and paying repre- sentatives at the polls, and finally the loss of time of more than half a. mil- lion voters taken away from their daily business to go to the polling stations. The quarter of a million expended by the government, and which the people must pay, is there- fore but a fraction of the cost of the plebiscite. And all for what 2 Vilas it only that we may be told in regard to prohinition than the minority in favor ot' the liquor traftic shall rule, and the majority in favor prohibition must submit ?- It this is true it is the most costly feature of all.
