“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,
Li
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

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.
