from yesterday's Guardian, of the sick and require discussion of the Ticket of Leave Act. home.

during its progress through commit- tee in the Legislature on Thursday afternoon:

HON. MR. LEPAGE: When I heard of this first I was a. little doubtful about it, but the farther I go into the Act and see the purpose, the really sincere purpose, I think it it a. splendid thing. If a man has to go tollic hospital, and he is under a. nine months‘ sentence, we liave got

' to release him and watch him there. Under this Act we could let him off on a_ ticket of leave and immediately

S0 far as pro-

hibition cases are concerned I think it is quite safe to leave the Comlnis— sion to decide on those cases. Their decision need not be final; if the

Governor in Council think they

have erred in any way they need not pardon a. man, even if the Commis- sion recommended it. I think it is

a splendid thing in certain cases. We

must not understand that this has been put through to make the thing general. The Dominion has a: Ticket of leave Act and I have never heard anybody condemn it.

HON. MR. STEWART: How long has it been in force?

HON. MR. LEPAGE: I can't tell you that. HON. MR. STEWART: “If you

could you would not cite that as a precedent." HON. MR. LEPAGEI That ls the

his presence at In that case, he might be re- leased temporarily. Suppose he wanted to attend a funeral in his family? Surely if he was not a great offender he could be trusted to at- tend a funeral. There are cases where it is necessary. The old of- fenders are not going to be let of! under this Act, by any means. The intention of this Government is not for the purpose of weakening the law in any way. It is for the purpose of strengthening the law. In cases where it is necessary for a man to be let out he will be let out legally and can be put back at any time; and if he misbehaves himself, he can be convicted on the second offence and serve both his first and second sen- tences undcr this Act.

HON. MR. STEWART: Then you don't need this Act at all.

DR. MCMILLAN: The last strong- hold has fallen! My hon. friend from Rustico, whom I have always regarded as the bulwark and corner stone of the Prohibition Act has fal- len from grace. (Applause) I really expected more from him, the man who is looked upon as the great oe- fender of Liberal Prohibition right from its inception. Now H: advances arguments to show that this is a. good thing. I do not think there is very much need of discussing the matter any further, the purpose of the Act ls so clear on the face of it.. If you let a man out after considering the

way they are acting. There are a few prisoners released under the Do- ' minion Ticket of Leave Act, I under- stand and if it is all right to have a Ticket of Leave Act for the Domin- ion, why not have one for the Pro-l vince? But my hon. friends assume that it is being put through this House for a purpose.

DR. MCMILLAN: Certainly.

HON. MR. LEPAGE: Not for the purpose that my ‘hon. friend thinks it is going through. For instance, there is a suggestion made that we would put this through so as to let the prisoners out of jail to vote. That is a most ridiculous thing be- cause I don't think the bootleggcrs vote for the Liberal party at all.

OPPOSITION MEMBERS: Ha, ha!

HON. MR. STEWART: That is- great news!

HON. MR. LEPAGE: If my hon. friend thinks thzit anything should be done at any time we could put in an amendment to say that a man cannot vote for six months after be- ing released under this Act.

HON. MR. STEWART: Will you

Never mind the first offence; get him on the second offense and If you punish him properly you will do very much more good than all the proposals you are now making for his "reforms- tion“ under this Ticket of Leave Act. I am not going to discuss it very much further. I have lost faith in my hon. friend from Rustico.

HON. MR. LEPAGE: ' 1 am de- fending thc Prohibition Act at the present time. (Laughter). Not only that, but I might tell my ‘hon. friend that the associated temperance peo- ple of the Province waited on this Government in reference to this very matter, and when the Act was ex- plained to them they said they were perfectly satisfied.

HON. MR. STEWART: They at first objected, did they? ‘

HON. MR. LEPAOE: No. When they found out the Act as it was, they went away perfectly satisfied. Those were the temperance men of the Province.

HON. MR. STEWART: But they had suspicions oi’ you at first.

HON. MR. LEPAOEI My hon. friend accuses me of falling from grace. I intend to always be a tem- perance man, and if I thought that this legislation would weaken the Prohibition Act I would not vote for

wouldn't be able to persuade you, would we?

HON. MR. WRIGHT: The mem- bers of the Opposition claim that we

are opening the door wide. I think it is very evident to every intelligent member of this committee that we are closing the door. At the present time the door ls open wide so far as releasing ‘ n is concerned. We know that the door was opened wide urldor our friends. The door is open just as wide today if we wish to take the opportunity. We have in this Government at the present time the power of releasing or "hand-picking" as you suggest. But -ve are tilosing the door in this way that if we pass this Act and a man is released and it is found that he has teen relcascd I by a. mistaken idea of his intention _to reform, then under this Act he

MR. MCPHEE: I think it is a. pity that we should disagree on this mat- ter. I believe it would be a good thing to soc Hut tliusc lllCll wore dis- franchiscd, brcauso I do not think those people have any right to vote either way.

PREMIER LEA: Only while their time is being served, of course. We wouldn't consider disqualifying a man because he had been a boot- logger, but because he should be in jail at that time, serving his sen- tence.

HON. MR. STEWART: If his penalty was served, he would have a vote in any case.

PREMIER LEA: Quite so.

can be re-committed. The member ifrom Charlottetown says we have enough machinery to put him back under the second offence. Certainly we have, if we can get him; and be is obliged under Clause 8 to finish his ‘former sentence. But there is just this advantage that this Govern- ment might be- satisfied that if he engaged in the same old traffic, they might not have the evidence, but if they were satisfied they could re- commit him. I claim that is in the interests of temperance and Prohibi- tion.

HON. MR. LEPAGE: And of hu- manity.

MR. SHARP: Has it the support of the bootleggers?

HON. MR. WRIGHT: By passing this Act this Government is doing a favor to the gentlemen on the other side, for I can guarantee that no bootlegger is voting for the Liberal party. If there should happen to be a man given his freedom before elec- tion and he should be permitted ‘to cast his vote, I am satisfied where that vote will be cast. It will be an advantage to the gentlemen on the other side. There has been some sug- gestion that an amendment might be put in this Act preventing any man so released from having a vote“

‘HON. STEWART: We

and I am in accord with that.

LIBERAL BOOTLEGGER ACTIVE

MR. SHARP: I asked my hon. friend whether the bootleggers were in favor of this Bill. He has not answered thatquestion, but he says there was not any bootlegger voting for the-Liberal party. In the by-ei- ection which I contested with my friend Mr. Thane A. Campbell, in,‘ the Second District of Prince, we" made a compact between ourselves not to use any rum in that cam- paign. Why did we have to make that compact? Simply because there was lots of runs available if either of us wanted to use it. I believe Mr. Campbell lived strictly up to the compact we made and so far as I know. he never used a drop of rum; and I did the same; and I don't think‘ he will make any charge againstme on that score.

PREMIER LEA: It was dry enough for you.

MR. SHARP: Everybody knew the amount of liquor that was available in Prince County, and we know where the law enforcement officers were at that particular time. On el- ection day in that District many of thefriends of our party were with us, using their cars to get voters to the polls. In one particular poll one of the pfnolpsl bootleggors from the

town of Summerslde was driving Lib- ersl voters to the poll. I-fe carried a

weak spot in their own argument. They say a mall may be released un- der the system that is being follow- ed at the present time: he may com- mit an offence again, but the diffi- culty is that if you cannot prove it, if you cannot get the evidence, you cannot put him back in jail, while under the proposed Act you could put

DR. MCMILLAN: You purpose to deal with those cases too?

PREMIER LEA: Yes.

DR. MCMILLAN: Could you give us any idea of thenumber of offences that were committed under the Mo- tor Vehicle Act?

PREMIER LEA: Not offhand.

on. MCMILLAN: Do you consider that those off a were adequately punished?

i PREMIER LEA: That llldftlti‘ is not for discussion now. i on. MCMILLAN: The 5176:1111 rea- lson for this legislation, then, is to i deal with prohibition offenders. l PREMIER LEA: And similar of- yfcnces against the provisions of all ' our statutes. _ ' i on.

MCMILLAN: Did any other ' body wait upon you regarding it? PREMIER LEA: no. DR. MCMILLAN: Cartainly not. ‘My lion. friend the senior member ,from the Fourth District of Prince, wl-Ion.

ence. ,.'I‘hcrc is a dangerous point. We have a system of jurisprudence

under the British Empire by which a '

man will not be penalized in any way until the evidence is produced and proven against him. You are going to do auray with that; you are going to take upon yourselves the respon- sibility of adjudlcating irrespective

of the evidence. lrl so doing you are ' violating the very principles of Brl- _.

tlsh justice, and you have no right to do it. The old system ls much better and safer, and very much more in accord with British practice.

HON. MR. WRIGHT: How can any injury be done to an individual who has been committed to jail? In the first place, he should be serving hi.» sentence. l-low can we he committ- ing an act of inju.v to that man by simply putting l'lllfl back and obliging him to finish the sentence that is al- ready imposed orl him by the Cont.

PREMIER LEA: He ls already proven guilty.

HON MR. STEWART: Let him serve his sentence, then.

PREMIER LEA: Why should we say it is an injury for us to put him back and let him finish his sentence for any reason? The case that my l‘i0l'l friend cites is not at all parallel.
