PROHIBITION AND COMMON
SENSE.

Good sense has asserted itself al
Washington in the handling of the
liquor question. Congress, after
showing disposition to plunge blind
~ into total and immediate prohibi
tion OF the manufacture of alcoholic
beverages, has thought better of it
We are to have an embargo IN the
use Of foodstuffs in the manufacture
of spirituous liquors and strong
wines, which is an excellent thing,
particularly when the world ha, such
bitter need of food. But for the pres
ent, at least. the continued manufdc.
ture of beer and light wines is to be
permitted.
This adjustment is said to havs been
urged on Congress by the President
III so, Mr.. Wilson deserves credit for
ending bitter fight and pre- cnting
legislative chaos.
1t isn't a question just now what
Is good for the nation in the long run.
Il isn't question of absolute mora.
or economic principles. It's plimar-
lily question CT immediate utility. 1t
IS imperative that simple, thoro-
going system OF food control be put
into operation at the earliest possible
moment. Delay might prove disaster.
Gus to us and our allies, econcmncal-
~ and militarily. If Congress or the
President had insisted on complete
prohibition, all the vast resources Of
the liquor industry in the United
States would have been modified to
fight the measure. and perhaps to re
sist 1t + 1t were enacted. The coun-
try, friendly as it appears, in theory,
TO the principle of prohibition, was
not prepared for such sudden and
drastic move.
We may decide. later on. to carry
this partial prohibition TO its logical
conclusion But if We do, we must
do 1t with our eyes open. All phases
Of the subject must be fully discussed
and understood. Nation, states and
municipalities must reconcile them
selves to losing their liquor taxes and
make the necessary re-adjus'ments
to provide the income they need.
Brewers and liquor dealers must have
due notice, to enable them to prepare
fof the change.
1t seems likely however, that we
shall not reach any such stare for
some time yet. The measures adopted
will suffice for the present and meet
with general approval. We shall save
a large quantity Of grain by the ban
on the further manufacture Of dis. |
titled liquors. The distlleries can
soon turn to ether forms Of profitable
enterprise.
II there Is need felt Of further econ
omy. Congress can, and doubtless will
curtail the manufacture of wines and
malt liquors. That curtaiiment may
proceed to any degree that becomes
necessary, up to the limit of total pro.
hibition. But every step in that direc-
ton should be taken calmly. with fun
realization of the consequences.

The item below. clinned fror

The item below, clipped from the
North BattIeford, (Sask. News, tells
of the passing away at Hyde Park, of
Mr.. McNabb, Sr., on the 18th inst.
Deceased was known by many of the
earlier residents of the county and
Langdon people, having located on a
farm near Iona with his family be-
fore removing to Saskatchewan in
1907:
'Hyde Park has lost one of it's old
est and best known residents by the
death of Mr.. McNabb, who passed
away on December 18th. Much SYM
pathy is felt for his widow and family.
and there are many who feel that
they have lost personal friend. He
with his family came to this district
nine years ago and during that time
he won the respect and sincere re.
gard of all around. He was ever
ready to help those in trouble and had
a CHEEKY word or joke at all times.
He had been chairman of the school
trustees since they were formed and
for some years was councillor for the
division.
A large crowd gathered on Sunday
representing the district for many
miles. The first part of the service
was conducted by the Rev. w. E. j.
Paul at the deceased's residence,
after which the remains were inferred
in the burial ground of St. Philips
church, Hyde Park.
The coffin on which was a beautiful
wreath Of white flowers, was borne
to the grave by c. Walton, A. M.
Dodd, R. Mcclure, T. Shepparhd, d.
Garrow and ). Grant.
The coffin which was driven to the
church by A. T.. Marsh. was followed
by the widow and family and a long
concourse of friends and neighbors.
The funeral arrangements were
conducted by Mr.. David Garrow, SON.
in law of the deceased, assisted by
Mr.. A. M, Dodd,"

WITH PETR0CRAD
Provocative Attitude to
Russia Prejudicial to Fin
nish Cause.

Helsingfors, Aug. 11.-Swedish and
Finnish non-socialist newspapers, APP
pearing for the first time since the in
PRODUCTION of the independence law in
the landtag, unanimously condemn the
law and the method of passing it.
Likewise they criticise the policy of
the socialist majority as unconstitu-
tional, provocative to Russia, and pre-
judicial to the cause of Fiilland's in
dependence, for which all the nation
stands.
The Swedish newspapers declare
Premier Toxic pushed through the law
on the calculation that the Petrograd
revolt of July 16 would overthrow the
provisional government and the fail
ure of this calculation puts Finland
in a dangerous situation. The disso-
luton of the lAndtag, it is asserted, is
fully legal, and the new landtag,
which meets simultaneously with the
Petrograd constituent assembly, must
come to a friendly agreement, there
with insuring independence.
Despite the prevalence of these
views in educated classes the social
lists are agitating in favor of a refusal
{, to recognize the dissolution. Premier
Toxic, in his special opinion attached
to the senate's decision to publish the
provisional governments manifesto
dissolving the landtag, denounces the
manifesto as unconstitutional.

Gently with an 1s-year-old girl and
went to Wallingford, introducing the
