We can sympathize with some hotel-keepers who, we believe, from their view point, are trying to keep What they call good houses. We do not agree with those people who Seem to think that all hotel keepers are alike, and that there is nothing good in any of them. The fact is, however, proprietors are sometimes not master in their own houses. Many of their gueSts are good citizens belong to the lowest types of humanity and cannot be kept under control.

That has been'the weak point in local Option districts. If temperance: hotels were conducted by men who were anxious to prove that those hotels could be made to pay we would not hear many complaints about accommodation. The diffi- culty is that those places are general- ly kept by ex-hotel keepeis who do their best to make them appear to be a lailure. A man who wnl conduct an hotel on strictly temperance lines and give good accommodation to man and beast. should be strongly supported non only by temperance people but by all good citizens. his young gone to spend their eVe‘ nings in a public house, when they ought to be studying their school lessons at home. cannot be expected to have any better control over them should a licensed bar, with its pol- ished mirrors, transparent glasses and sparkling wines, be opened up to then). The father who decides for his son in fuvur of the licensed bar, is liable to see his mistake when it is too late. The last point taken up by our correspondent is “false swearing." There is certainly something very repulsive about perjurv. But if false swearing has increased under local option, and it certainly has, who are the guilty parties? Is not most of the false swearing done by those acâ€" cused of violating the law, and those who, much against their will, are called as witnesses? A correspondtnt in another col- umn complains that local option news in this papér is "too one sided." THE Liasz should not be accused of partiality, as we are aIWaya willing to publish both sides of any question as long as we consider the articles reasonably fair, and not too person~ ul. With all due respect to our cor- rcapouden‘t, we consider his refer- ence be young boys learning to drink and treat in temperance hotels, as for fetched, and lacking in sound argument. Any father who allows We can find. no fault with our cor- respondent objectihg‘ to the word “assassin.” We don" like that word. We believe in would be banner not to license the bar. but if the bar is to be licensed. surely that is no reason why the assassin should be licensed also Mamas!) ,um. « Timomm SIDE." MARRIAGES.
