I have one statement to make which I would like to have every man, who does his own thinking. consider. It is this: Obfldlencc to any law la liberty only when that law la the free expression of the people's will.

That cannot be said of Prohibi- tion..lt cannot be said of any law ‘which is broken so universally as is the Prohibition Act. The state of mind of the masses may ‘be a fickle

How‘ could a man of King's ability and culture, tell them anything else‘! There is no room at (lttnwa for fu- naticisni, whatever space tlicre may be in Charlottetown.

When tliey take this attitude. they are not only ‘insulting tho great majority of tlic people lu this Province, but they are custlilil aspersions on the character of tiie Christ Himself.
