DRYS WOULD ABOLISH CANADIAN SENATE.
the abolition of the Canadian Senate is arising as a result of recent actions of that venerable body. The act that has given offence to the greatest number of people was the throwing out of the Government's Prohibition Act extending for one^year after the signing of peace the bone dry measure wnich has been m effect under war time Orders m Council. The effect of the Senate's action will not be to restore the saloons m Provinces which have legislated against them, but it will have the important effect of permitting manufacture, importation and, most important of all, of permitting Jnter-pro-vihcial traffic so that thirsty souls m a dry province will be able to import from the wet province, Quebec, by express or otherwise as much liquid refreshment as necessary, thus knocking a big hole m "bone dry" legislation.
