A SEASON or CARNITALS.

curious social outcropping Is the autumnal
carnival" which has become almost universal
in the West and the South. It Is unwrtten
law that carnival can be complete without
queen. and although this is a nation Of SOW

THE DOUJNTON PLEBTSCTTTM

Full returns Of the recent Canadian plebisc
tum on the subject Of Prohibition are interest
ing and significant. As was predicted in these
columns Prohibition carried. Its major
ty was between 1000 and 1000. All the
provinces save one. Quebec. voted for it. Civ
ing il an aggregate majority Of nearly G3.0o0.
Quebec alone voted against il. and gave an
adverse majority of more than $1,000. On the
face of the case. therefore. Prohibition won.
But when all the circumstances are taken into
account the result is seen. as we anticipated.
to contain cold comfort for the Prohibition
lists and to give the Laurier Government some
show of Justification for regarding the vote as
insufficient warrant for any radical legislation
on the subject
The first noteworthy feature Is the enormous
shrinkage Of the Prohibition majorties. With
in the last dozen years ut least half of the
provinces have voted on the question of Pro
hibition, and in every case have east much
larger ajority for II than In this last election.
Thus Manitoba has given n majority of 2.522
for Prohibition. which now shrinks to 5000.
Nova Scotia has given MS much rs 81 .i0l. but
last month she gave only 1850 Ontario once
gave SLIGO. hut now only 1852. And even
Prince Edward Island has let It's Prohibition
majority fall from 1926 to CLEO So while
four provinces have in recent years given n
majority of nearly $4,000 for Prohibition. all
seven Prohbltionst provinces last month gave
less than G3.OOO-a falling of of more than 20
per cont. Assuredly that does rot indicate
growth of Prohibition sentiment.
In the second place. there Is shown falling
off OF pOpula" interest in the question. For
months the campaign ragged or was worked up.
The most strenuous and persistent efforts were
made TO get out n full vote Political and re-
llcious influences were worked" assiduously
to that end. And the result was the casting
Of less than half the ordinary vote. perhaps
not more than one-third. That Is fact which
Is scarcely II be explained on any other theory
than the one we have mentioned. For If II he
claimed, as some Prohbtlonsts are claiming
that the Ant-Prohibitonists purposcly re-
Trained from voting in order to leave the total
poll as small possible, II inevitably follows
that the actual sentiment Of tho people Is over
whelmIngly against Prohibition. For If the
majority Of the Prohbtioniss voted, and the
majority Of the Anti-Prohihltionisis did not
and yet the former had less than 1000 ma
jOrity. IL Is certain that full vote all around
would have shown great majority against
Prohibition.

London, July 4.--The annual dinner
of the American society in London to-

chcered.
There was an unusual number Of
prominent English visitors, testifying
to the new-found international cordial
ity. Among them were many Liberals,
some of whom attended avowedly to
give negation to the report that the
Liberals are colder than the Conserva-
tives toward an Anglo-American un-

life were represented.
