BUT ONE PROVINCE
IN CANADA TO Be
IN WET COLUMN
In Another Year Entire Do
minion, With Exception
Of Quebec, Will Be Under
Prohibition Laws.

ottawa. Ont, Sept. ia forty
years battle on the part of the anti
liquor forces to make Ontario dry"
was crowned with victory today, when
every licensed bar in the province was
closed by operation of the prohibition
statute enacted by the legislature last
spring. The winning of Ontario is re-
garded as the most important victory
that the prohibitionists have yet scored
in Canada. since the province is the
largest in population and the most i'm
portant from an industrial standpoint
of any in the dominion.
The chief aim of the new, law Is to
wipe out the retail liquor business.
The law does not prohibit the manu-
facture of intoxicants, so long as the
brewers and distillers do not sell their
product in Ontario. The wholesale Ii
quor business will be permitted to con-
tinue under strict regulations. The
sale of liquor for medicinal, scientific
and sacramental purposes will be per-
mitted, also under strict regulations.
Druggists are to be permitted to sell
liquor only on physicians prescriptions
and then only In quantities not to ex-
ceed six ounces.
Lie CHici oulltItIS 1IOfn tie tHlOTCc-
ment of the prohibition law will be the
hotels, which in Canada have depended
TO a much greater extent upon the
revenue derived from their bars than
have the hotels in the United States.
The capital invested in hotels in On
tario is estimated to be between $780,
600, 900 and $1Oo.0o0,0o0. With the clos
ing of their bars 1t is believed that
many of the hotels will be forced to
quit business.
AN ALL-DRY CANADA.
With the winning of Ontario the
prohibitionists see In prospect an all
dry Canada-the first of the great ma
tions of the world to put it's foot down
on the liquor traffic. Prince Edward
Island led the way by abolishing the
sale of liquor by retail more than 15
years ago. In June of last year Sas-
katchewan followed suit by closing up
all the retail bars with the exception
of 20 government operated liquor shops.
Manitoba, Nova Scotia and Alberta
came under the prohibition banner this
year. In New Brunswick the sale of
liquor by retail will cease next April.
in British Columbia next June and in
the Yukon territory next July. New
foundland also will finish up her Ii
censed liquor selling at the end of this
year. This will leave Quebec as the
only province in which prohibiting leg
islation has not yet been passed.
