to be resorted to, and especially those
persons who necessarily have to come in
contact with Eases of scarlet fever shall
not mingle among the people. 1t must
be quarantined. There is no other safe
course. All communication with the dis

ST. CLAIEsvHLEp people are called upon
to vote next Tuesday upon the question of
/ the repeal of the anti-saloOn ordinance.
The proposed election is entirely beyond
the pale of the law.
There is no authority for it whatever.
qualification whatever can be estab-
lished, certainly none beyond residence.
All residents of mature years, without
regard to sex, have an undoubted right
to vote at the proposed election.
Members of Council have no especial
right TO sit as judges. In this respect it
is free for all "a sort of town meet
ing, as it were.
The impression prevails among the best
informed men that majority of the men
of the town will vote against a return of
the saloons. If the women should vote
as we maintain in all seriousness they
have an unquestioned right to dO-the
question of repeal would be beaten two
to one.
We believe it is the prevailing opinion
that the town has got along reasonably
well without the saloons. OF course men
still drink. They always have, and the
probabilities are always will; but the fact
that intoxicating liquors can only be got
ten surreptitiously has unquestionably
Iessened their use, and the absence of open
saloons is certainly in the interest of boys
and young men.
There will be no excitement nor bad
blood. That time is past. Men have for
several weeks been sOberly thinking of
this question, in all its phases, and the
probabilities are the result will be attend
ed with some surprises.
