‘Thereupon such person ehall be entitled to receive such ballot paper and to vote.”

‘These words are omitted from Mr. Fitz- patrick’s bill and the following is inserted as section 69:

““Where there is no voters’ list, if a deputy returning officer rejects the vote of a persom entitled to vote, and does so in good faith believing upon reasonable grounds that euch person is not entitled to vete,the deputy returaing officer shall not therefore be liable to any penaity.”’

Under the Provincial law the deputy returning officer is eubject to severe penal- ties where he acts improperly. But Mr. Fitzpatrick’s bill does not make these pevalties applivable to aDuminien election nor dees it impose auy penalty for the impreper rejection of a good vete in Prince Edward Island.

Notwithstanding that the qualification of voters is established by the law of the Province for the purpose of a Dominion election, and that every voter in Prince Edward Islacd, must prove his right to vote atthe polls, yet Mr. Fitzpatrick’s bill does not provide that the Returning

AN UNJUST REFLECTION. IxsteaD of giviog @ reason suffisient in itself to justify of the Scoit Act by Provincial Prohihi:ion, the Guardian says:

the substitution

“Tiis the weakness of the Scott Act that it leavesth> qrestion of the cota) exclueon of tbe traffic from this Proviace to the caprice of macro vm jority in Oae «mall district’’,- ¢ ¢., Charlottetown.

last election ; and it is certain that, if as- sured that druukenness has increased aad is increasing under license, a very large Charlottetown will vote itout at the first opportunity and the Canada Temperance Act. Then we should have, for the entire Pro- vince, all that Provine‘al Prohibition car give, without the uncertainty and delays, inyoly ing freervm, from time to time, which appertain to a new and untried Provincial Probibitory law.

The Guardian’s proposal that the people of the country districts shall give up the Scott Act—which has been operated suc cessfully in eo far as they ere concerned— anitry a brand new Provincial Prohibi- tory law—which cannot pruhibit the im» , 0 ta'‘ion of liqaors—reminds usjfof the story uc the dog which, with a large piece of good beef inhis mouth, ruaning by the side of a clear atream of water, let go the beef and junped in toeatch the shadow.

However this may be, the Guardian ’s remark about the “caprice” of a‘‘narrow majority” isan anjast reflection upon the people of Charlot tetown,—and on their be-
