Local Option or No Local OPTION
That is the Question.

The fight will be whisky or no
whisky. If every one who drinks
whisky or beer were TO vote
against local option, it would be
defeated by the largest vote a
proposition ever before was de-
feated, but such will not be the
case. Many people who love
their drink will vote for local
option, many will vote for local
option experimentally and many
whisky heads will vote for it for
spite. some will support it con.
scientiously. This is the propo
sition the anti Prohibitionists
must consider. AS we stated
some time ago, we have no OBJ
lection to a saloon running order
ly and closing at ~ O'Clock Sat
urday night until 5 o clock Mon
day morning. With this propo.
sition as compromise, The
Forum can conscientiously be
against local option. For we can
see but little. harm in a saloon if
the keeper thereof is made to
comply with all the laws regulat.
ing the operation of saloon.
One requirement, and a very
potent one, is not to allow minors
in saloons nor women. Many
pee pie get Legitimate employ
ment through the operation of
saloons. Let them run but regu,

KING Of ENGLAND
RECEIVES CATHOLIC
FIRST TIME IN THREE
HUNDRED YEARS
Cardinal Vincent Vannutelli Received
in Westminster Cathedral-Papal
Parade Abandoned-School Chill
dren Will Parade on Saturday.

London, Sept 9.-For the first
time in three hundred years, a Papal
Legate was received by an English
monarch here today when Cardinal
Vincent Vannutelli, cardinal bishop
from the Papal Curia, at Rome, and
Titular bishop of Plestrina, was re-
ceived by King Edward in historic
Westminster cathedral at the open
ing of the nineteenth annual Euch-
artist congress. Vannutelli, arrayed
in robes OF state, was an imposing
figure. The immense hall was
crowded to suffocating with a distin-
guished assembly. Because of the
fear of anti-Catholic agitation which
might result in street riots, the great
procession planned as the biggest
clerical demonstration in modern
times was abandoned. Sixty thou
sand persons thronged the streets.
The entrance to all thoroughfares
leading to the cathedral were choked
with humanity. One special feature
will be a parade of $4,000 school
children on Saturday, representing
the Catholic schools in London prov
inces.
