We feel that each individual voter must be interested and concerned and active in public affairs. or our sys- tem will not work. We want our citizens generally to realize that alnthy 0n their part, plus a tell-- dency to blame things on the Cov- ernment, or on some party or in- dividuaIsr-a tendency to shrug off responsibility, is a sure sign that our system of self-sovernment is in grave danger.

Responsible Government

“We have a system called Re- sponsible Government-those in office are responsible and shown.- able to the voters. Hence, in the final analysis, the eovsrignty and real power in this country lies in the hands of the voters. They can- not pass off ‘that responsibility on any one.-lt is there, on their shoulders. and no amount of loose talk, disinterest. blaming others. can relieve them of the blame if we are not well governed. We shall gst“the kind of government we de- serve. .Alert, interested and rc- sponsible voters will use the bal- lot as it should be used-to choose the right side of a question, as in a plebiscite, to select good repres- entatives in the ordinary election “Good representatives will see m . it that the Government in DOWeI

‘Be ready to do your duty as a voter. and show the way us oth- ers. as you did in the-two Great Wars. Attend school meetings and other gatherings and play your part.

Acted Fairly

I feel that the Government has acted fairly and squarely in plac- ing the issue before the people, and adequate preparation has been malie for administration whatever the result of the Plebisclte. No one has charged the Government with unfairness. Nobody has indicated the Government is not tamper- once-minded.

the Government desires the tar money. It is true there is no rev- enue, but only expense, if liquor is landed on our coasts, brought in by air. or from another Province, or manufactured by moonshiner... All these activities are in operation at the present time. and each will increase greatly if the old Prohibi- tion Act is restored-st least that is the belief of members of the Government, and of the police who have the practical experience.

A well-known mocnshlner is re- ported as telling the clergyman. who. heexpects. will preside at his burial service. that on June 28th they will bot-h be fighting on the same side for once.

A staid old citizen who resides on the shore north of Souris was asked how he would vote. "Why. dry of course," he replied. “We had better times when they were land- ing rum on the shore, and I didn't have to travel to souris for my liquor. Besides it was cheaper." Sincere exponents of Prohibition will have strange companions at the polling booths.

A retired clergyman has been trying to secure women's votes JY telling them a. vote \ for the Tem- perance Aot means that liquor stores will be set upin villages. That is pure nonsense, as it hardly pays to keep open all the five stores tho Government now provides. People don't mind travelling for their liquor. some individuals. even go to New Brunswick and Nova Scotis. '

.Extreme statements have been made in’ the press and elsewhere by Prohlbitionists stating that im- mense amounts are paid annually for liquor. I agree it is too much. But compared with other Provinces. it is only a small amount. More- over, somewhere between 25 PM’ cent and 50 per cent of the liquor purchased is bought by visitors. The beer consumption on Prince Edward Island 111-1947 was well under 25 per cent of the average

evidently are not well known. Un- der the Prohibition Act. drawn up by Mr. W. E. Bentley in 1918. a bottle a day is allowed and if one lives more than ten miles from a vendor shop, two bottles a day and 24 bottles of beer. Anyone who can get ,ossession of a script. even a boy under 21 years, can buy it. ‘I.’ quote:

"No physician shall give more than one certificate or prescription for liquor on any one day to any one patient nor shall such certifi- catc ‘or prescription prescribe liquor in larger quantities than as id.- lows:

"If the patient lives not more than ten miles from the nearest retail vendor; , “in Wines and distilled liquors not exceeding twenty-four ounces at any one time;

“(b) Ale, beer and porter in quantities not exceeding twelve bottles containing not more than three half pints each at any one time.

“if the patient lives more than ten miles from the nearest retail vendor the quantity to be prescrib- ed shall not be more than double that herein specified."
