PROSECUTION IN CANADA.

1t is expected that prohibition will have
majority in all the Dominion provinces
next Thursday, excepting Quebec, which
will probably be carried by the opposi-
ton. The exact question which will be
submitted to the voters is this:
Are you in favor of the passing of an
act prohibiting the importation. manu-
facture or sale of spirits, wine, ale, beer,
cider and all other alcoholic liquors for
use as beverages?'
1t will be seen that this is much broad
OF than the Maine prohibitory amend
ment, In the first place it prohibits the
importation as we'll as the manufacture
and sale of liquor, and in the second
place it covers cider, which the advocates
Of the Maine amendment did not dare
include for fear of alternating the agri-
cultural vote. Our law against illegal
transportation is an indirect prohibition
of importation, but it never has amounted
to much in practice. This is the first
time q prohibition measure has been sub
mitted to voters applicable to
whole country. Prohibitory laws in
the Dominion heretofore have been local
option measures The Scott act is a
measure of that kind. But If the MAORI
ty of the voters of the Dominion give an
affirmative answer to the question SUBJ
mitted to them on Thursday, and Parlia-
enforce it, the manufacture and sale of
liquor in any and all parts Of Canada
will be forbidden, as also the importation
of LIQUOR from the United States or any
other country. Much depends upon the
action of Parliament after the question
is answered, and here prohibition is
likely to encounter the first snag. The
populous province of Quebec will natural
ly follow up its opposition to an athrma-
tive answer to the question with opposi-
ton to legislation to give force to 1T, and
the representatives from British Colum-
bia are likely to give them their aid in this
direction. 1t is not going to be an easy task
| to get the needed legislation. Indeed the
| liquor dealers have been so certain that
prohibition would run ashore here that
they have made very little effort in the
public campaign. But even if suitable
laws be passed to enforce the popular will
he would be very sanguine person in.

Congressman Payne, in lis speech as
temporary chairman of the New York
Republican convention said: "We entered
on this war, not for conquest but for the
highest interests of the human race.
This was timely statement. 1t has
seemed of late that conquest was upper
most in the minds of the people, and
that the highest interests of the human
race, or of that part Of it with which we
have the most concern, namely, the
American people, were in danger of being
forgotten.

We are inclined to laugh at the unso-
phisticated Flip mos who had an idea
that government could be carried on
without taxation and were disposed to
protest vigorously when they were asked
to contribute toward expenses. But u
large portion of the people in this country
who are shouting for the retention of the
Philippines appe ar to be quite as blind to
the fact that this policy has got TO be paid
for by taxes, as were the Filipinos to the
fact that government couldn't be run
without contributions from the people.
Later on if the Philippines are annexed
these unthinISing people are destined to
rude awakening, and then we should
not wonder if they should kick much
more violently than the Filipinos.

The expected happened at tho New
York Republican convention. Theodore
Roosevelt WAS nominated for governor on
the first ballot. Gov. Blacks support
dwindled to less than fourth of the con-
vention. The allegation of ineligibility
on the part of Col. Roosevelt seems to
have made no impression upon the con-
ventiop. Doubtless CO.. Roosevelt owes
his nomination to his brilliant, though
brief, career as a soldier, and yet he had
other claims far more substantial than
that. His career as civil administrator
has been longer than bis cereer as a
soldier and quite as distinguished. As
police commissioner of New York he
showed himself 60 be an impartial, fearless
and independent officer enforcing the
law as he found it, and successfully re-

was brought to bear upon him. AS as

arm of the service to it's high state of
efficiency. He is no mans man, and If

The claim of the independents has al
ways been that they constituted body
of intelligent voters not bound by any
party and standing ready to assist in the
most effective way the triumph of cor
rect principles and fit candidates. Obvi-
ously the best way to accomplish thsss
ends in a state where plurality elects,
would be to wait until the great parties
had enunciated their principles and
dominated their candidates, and if the
inciples and candidates of either one
ire satisfactory then give them their sup
ort. In case neither party came up to
aeir requirements then they could nomi-
nated their own candidates-and enunci-
nte their principles. The New York in
dependents have reversed this programme
by nominating candidates in advance of
the two great parties thereby binding
themselves to party just as closely as Re.
publicans and Democrats are bound, and
proving the hollowness of the pretence
that they were seeking simply the course
that would most certainly secure fit and
capable public servants.

AN OUTING THAT is EXCITING AND
HEALTHFUL.


That Maine is the greatest paradise for
those of sporting inclination was long
since granted, but to the average New
Englander the sportsman's show in Bos-
ton last spring was an eye-opener. Hun
dreds who visited this marvellous exhibit
tion declared that this fall they should
participate in this, the most fascinating
SPORT and that the promises are being
made good is already evidenced by the
great travel toward the Maine hunting
grounds. On every east-bound train will
be found great quantities of trappings
and outfits of the huntsmen, while the
sportsmen talk over and dream of the eX-
citement incident to the deer hunt. Many
are the city men nowadays who are en-
joying a palatable spread of venison, the
result of the good luck of some friend ;
but to be able to participate in the chase
of a deer or moose is an enjoyment that is
finely described in a recent article in
