CLEAN POLITICS

sin-In an issue of last week you gave space to a letter signed Llb- eral Commltteeman—ln which some mean lnslnuatlona wen made against a First Queen's and a Fourth Prince member. I would suppose that the writer la now cutting clear from the Llbeial party. And as he goes he stabs these men in the back. From the tone of his letter I would suppose he elt-her peddled liquor or wlaned to have the job; probably the lat- ter. If he wished to make the poll- tlcal game a ceaner one. he should bezin with himself. confess his aln publicly and sign his name. 1' ‘Je- lleve the like of this would cause it change 1n our thinking in regard to honesty, and an about-facs-tor- ward march that would save our country from moral and financial bankiuptcy.

I would like to call the attention of the reading public to a statement by our new Governor General “Moral Its-armament stands for a change of hearts-for that new spirit which must animate all hu- man relationships. It-s purpose la the practical application by every one everywhere of the standards of honesty. Purity and love- It cttlLs on us to make the will of God the guiding force for individuals, for homes and for nations. In fresh. whole-hearted acceptance of these principles. now, lles our moral strength for these dark days-the answer to our fears and to our grlefs, our one sure hope for a new world. And spiritual power ls the greatest force 1n the world."

____.___.i___._ PROHIBITION. DEMOCRACY ETC.

Sin-Some years ago, I had a great deal of entertafnmentp-thus enabllng me to pass quite plea-s- antly what otherwise would have been a very wearlsome winter —ln writing a few letters to the Press on the Prohibition question

A few of us went lnto the sub- ject rather thoroughly, going so far as to call to our aid ln the dis- cussion our little knowledge of Latin and Greek, which algna of budding eruditlon caused some of our Prohibition friends to send out frantic calls to help to university professors of Greek and Latin.

We had a lot of fun, but I am afraid we made few converts for, while the prohlbltlonlat la a zealous proselytlzer himself, he ls the lest person in the world who ls abfe or willing to be influenced by the rea- sonableness of an argument.

But he ls strong for Demcixracy. so long as it la his own ipecliil brand.

He believes that he has been divinely appointed to be his bro- there keeper and that. this oom- mission necessitates, at all coats, hla preventing his brother from en- joying a glass of ale. Reluctantly. he will allow his brother to imbibe if ill. but resolutely refuses to al- low hlm a taste lf well.

This commission la not Inter- tlreted by the prohlbltlonfst as

eanlng that he must “dig down" l his brother's family la hungry and procure them l bag of’ flour, ut as merely requiring hlm to 5e;

at; the "moral" welfare o1 hf; brother ls not subjected to lub- ralve teachings calculated to un- ermlne hla character by allow-

v hlm an occasional drink of ale.

To the prohlbltlonlat, this ll a ery sacred commission; nay, more,

ls sacrosanct and has the add.

he can count me out. I voted for hlm last time, and once fa plenty. The fanatical, priwtleea-what-he- preaches prohlbltlonlst constitutes but a. very Insignificant percentage 01 m; population of this Province. wherein. then. lies his power that even the heads of Government. quail before ma ziown-tllllnz. 10v killing, saturnlne countenance? The answer 1a that, heretofore, at least, he has always had the assistance of other groups much larger than his own.

In the first place, there an, pm- albly, from fifty to l. hundred con- firmed "drunks" in this Province. 'I'helr number has 110i. Pfobflllill’. varied much 1n the last hundred years and, the population remain- ing constant. will not likely vary

much during the next hundred. The cause of their drunkenness ls not social but blofoglcal. Like the O. B. D. of Harold Begblet book, they were born drunk and. IIIOW- lng them the physical ability, they will dle drunk. They constitute I dour-cg or annoyance, of irritation. to the average citizen. They are an ulcer on the stomach of the social body and. in time: ow- have @195- ed the well-meaning modest fmbloer to forego his own pleasure in hi: unselfish efforts to remove tempt- ation from the chronic lnebrlate The result was that the moderate drinker had only succeeded 111 Pena- llzlng himself while the drunk went merrily along his way. For hlm, there was always "lemon" and. moreover. as long u there 1s life. there ls "hops." In the second place, since the prohlbltlonlst la an unconscious hypocrite-by far the more dang- erous kind -he enlists in his aid. a; by a magnet, all the forms of conscious hypocrisy. The fellow who, 1n his mental adolescence, has been Influenced by the fa‘se_ pro- paganda that there is something of depravity ln a. moderate use of beer as a beverage, but who can- not qulte repress his normal desire for an occasional glass of ale, will drink ft "on the sly” and ‘lien. with his b%er|‘1 exuding “sen-sen," doves, “spearmlntfl or some other deodorant, go to the poll and vote “dryy

In the third place. all those en- gaged in the unlawful sale of ln- toxlcatlrtg liquors will support the prohlbltlonlt. Good business will not; allow them to do otherwise for the more circumscribed are the laws permitting the sale of ln- toxlcatlng liquors by the Govern- ment. the greater outlet there will be for the unlawful wares. Those are the three groups which, ln the past, have given the pro- hlbltlonlst his power to place re- actionary "temperance" legislation upon the statute books of this Pto- Vince.

I do not think the Provincial Government has handled this beer and wine legislation properly. No plebiscite should have been allowed and the proposed legislation should have been put: lnto effect at once. When election time rolled around a- gain, we should have seen the
