Ii seems that happily the judiciary
committee of the senate did not so
amend the anti-gambling bin as to
make vote of the people necessary
before the proposed law may go into
effect. That much at ieast is to its
credit. The legislature was elected
by the people not to pass sugges-
tions but to enact laws for them. If
the people do not like these laws
there is recourse for them at the
next election, when they will be
privileged TO elect a legislature that
will enact such measures as will suit
Them.

FOR WORLD WIDE
PROHIBITION
CALL Is ISSUED FOR INTERNA-
TIONAL GATHERING TO En-
TEND THE FIGHT OVER THE
GLOBE-MEETING IN LONDON.

Copies have been received in the
city of a call lately issued for an In
ternational prohibition conference, to
be held in London 1t will be the
first gathering of the kind. The call
is interesting and is as follows:
The Preliminary International
Committee and the Conveners have
the pleasure to announce that the
first worlds conference to establish,
If possible. permanent Worlds Pro-
hibition Confederation is hereby Of
ficially called to assemble in the I'M
perial institute, South Kensington,
London, during the week of July 1S-
"a, 1909. This comedies with the
meetings of the Twelfth International
congress on Alcoholism. when 1t is
expected that representative temper
ance workers from almost all parts
of the world will assemble at the I'm
perial institute and other convenient
public buildings.)
The largest committee room at the
institute has been placed at our dis
posal for the first meeting of our con-
ference, and such other meeting or
meetings as may be found expedient
will be announced at later time. A
number of the most important tenn
perance organizations in various
countries have already officially APP
pointed delegates to attend the Lon
don prohibition conference, and
promises have been made that other
equally influential organizations will
be represented. If your organization
has not already appointed officially
accredited delegates, the earliest pos
sible action and advice will be appre-
ciated. Temperance societies are en-
titled to send from one to FIVE dele
gates. according to the scope of theiI
operations, whether local, district
county, provincial or national.
The following are the suggested
preliminary agenda;

The rule of the Reed-Cannon sort
is essential TO the accomplishment of
business in congress. Otherwise the
lower house would deteriorate TO the
one horse common council level. The
country would hear much and get
nothing. At the present junctnre 1t
is most deyoutly to be hoped that the
insurgents will be knocked end over
end. It means, If they are, that we
will get a new tariff bill through In
record time, and that is the great
big need of the country at the pres
ent moment. Until the tariff is out

constitution and bylaws as may be
adopted by the conference.
IL will be observed that for the
conduct of such business as the fore
going more than one session of the
conference would probably need TO
be held. These details will be ar
ranged for at such times ard places,
during the week of the International
congress, as will not interfere with
the interests of that congress, and ac-
cording to the best convenience of
those attending the prohibition con-
ference
Information will be sent on re-
quest regarding hotel tariffs. etc,
for those attending the conference;
and also regarding location of pro-
hibition headquarters during the
week of the conference.
Arrangements are being made for
celebrating, If possible. July %, as
Prohibition Sunday" by meetings in
Hyde Park and other of the London
parks, churches, etc. Ii is planned
that as many representative speakers
as possible from the various countries
shall make addresses on that date on
the subject of worldwide prohibit
ton
As previously indicated, the re-
markable spread of the prohibitory
movement, and the enlarged interest
awakened thereby in various parts of
the world. make it appear that the
present is an opportune time for TAX
ing some steps which may better
amalgamate the various forces work
ing along their respective lines to-
wards the common aim of the sup
preston of the drink traffic. 1t is
believed that some such organiza-
ton, with corresponding secretaries,
vice presidents, etc, in various parts
of the world, issuing literature In
English, French, German, Spanish,
etc, would materially strengthen the
International prohibitory cause. Fa-
vorable expressions OF opinion have
been received from leaders in many
countries on the general plan.
II is not desired 20 found a new
organization as such, but rather to
put into touch with one another the
existing forces by one confederation
alonm this particular line of adj
vance in the temperance cause.
The effort will probably be carried
on by purely voluntary workers, and
the plan of operation is such that nc
existing temperance organization
need fear any interference with its
| revenues. etc.
Official advices in due course OF
the action of your organization in the
appointment of delegates will be ap
preciated, as well as any personal ad
vices with which you may find IL con
venient to favor us.
Yours faithfully,
FOR THE COMMITTEE AND con
NENERS,

The judiciary committee of the
senate delayed as long as possible
and then reported back the anti
gambling bill. IL includes a couple
amendments which are certain TO
precipitate a fight. The time for the
latter is short and the chances fair
that the amendment maneuver will
prove successful in its purpose, the
defeat of the bill. The principal
amendment is in the extension of the
time at which the law snail become
effective from January TO October. If
In earnest about closing gambling the
law should have been made effective
at the earliest reasonable date-not
later than July ! and certainly not
later than January /. Hope for its
passage, however. is not entirely alb
sent and any date for effect is bet
ter than none at all.
