MR. BRANDON ON LIQUOR
"INTOLERANCE BEGETS PERANCE." "Ladies and gentlemen, I nni nut the nominee af the liquor trade," said Mr. Brandon at his meeting last night. On tho general question of control of • liquor ho summarised his present policy in these words: "After the war will be time enough to determine whether we will turn the liquor out of licensed houses and put it into sly grog shops or not." "On the question of liquor," he said, "I think I may fairly say that I am a temperate man, and I am satisfied that temperance can bo taught by rxample. Temperance will never be enforced by Act of Parliament. You can't make a man moral by Act of Parliament. An example nf temperance will do morn than twenty Acts of Parliament. The community must itsolf call for temperance if it wants temperance. There must bo pxample. and there must also bo tho (inner of scorn pointed to the man or men who show themselves in a stato of intoxi- '
cation in public places. You must form public opinion on temperate lines, and you will have temperance. Start intolerance, and you will get intemperance. Intemperance and intolerance are terms. We know what intolerance is,- and I am afraid we have a littlo of it here."
