TIMES ARE CHANGING Not many years ago those who talked of prohibition and the closing: of bars were looked upon as cranks and fanatics. It will not be surprising if in years to come people who talk and vote for the open bar will be considered “queer.” Province a‘fter province are following the water wagon, and others are likely to follow at an early date. Prince Edward Island has absolute prohibi_ tion. No liquor is legally sold in Nova Scotia outside the city of Halifax. Licenses have been abolished in Saskatchewan, and a couple of weeks ago All'berta carried a prohibition measure ‘by a majority of about twenty thousand. in Mani- toba where the General Election takes place to monow both political parties are pledged to prohibition, so that despite St. Swithen‘s ruling that Provinces is likely to fall into the dry belt. RICHMOND HTLL. "What’s tbewmatter with our Can- adian youths anyway, when I learn that out of 3000mm enlisting in the City of Hamilton, 80 per cent. of them are British born ? We must get away from this self-satisfied com- placencv, which allows the young men of Canada at a serious time like this to spend their time at baseball, football, crieket or lawn bowling when the calitof the country is for young men, The need of the hour is recruiting, and we have not yet realized its seriousness and urgency. A recent. number of the Economist and Sun expressed regret that because no report had been sent in for two years, the Government grant had been withdrawn, and the Public Library in Markham Village closed. The paper closes its comment as follows :â€"“lt would be a great pity to have the library discontinued, and we hope that Markham has enough Dr. Godfrey, M. P. P. for West York, is not satisfied with Canadian recruiting. In an address at a Conâ€" servative picnic at; Runnymede on Monday he said :â€" Much money and energy are needed for red cross and patriotic work. It is a. pity, however,.to allow ~Toronto theatres to be open on Sundays even if the collect-ion taken is for the patriotic fund. This looks like the thin end of the wedge which may afterwards lead to the opening of all theatres on Sunday. People will begin to argue that if it is proper to have places of amusement open on Sunday for a worthy cause, it cannot be wrong to have them open for any other reason. CLEAN SPORT ($9) The City papers on Monday reported a d§sglraceful riot in Toronto Saturday afternoon at and following It is said the Poiice Commission will investigate, but it is safe to say than those who started the melee will be let off with the warning, “don‘t do it again.” MARKHAM‘S PUBLIC LIBRARY a lacrosse match near Cottingham street, in which it is said that fully one thousaud people took part. Laxity on the part of the police is charged, in allowing players in the game to brutally illtreat their opponents. Many people, including innocent by- standers and those who were en~ deavoring to make peace, were kicked and knocked unconscious,and a large number wereseriously injured. Such disgraceful scenes, which are of {requent occurrence, go to show that there is something u'adieally wrong in the manner in which Canadian sports are carried on. EDITORIAL ONT" AUG. 5. 1915 cultured intelligent and competent men torcalize what value a good public library is to any town or community, and to take an active interest in rectifying conditions before it is too late.” The Economist and SW?) does well to give a word of advice. The Public Library and Reading Room in Rich- mond Hill is placed among our valued assets, and our citizens would feel the loss if for any reason in bad to be closed.
