' KNOWING AND DOING.

'i'hat there is an overwhelniingli strong temperance sentiment in tnln province no one will deny who has had his ear to the ground dur- iuig the past two decades. This sentiment is not confined to tedio- tallers “alone, it la shared by many who, it the opportunity offered 01' if the need. real or apparent, arose, would not hesitate to "take a little wing" or even a modicum of some- thing stronger. These latter. who “know better than they do." if asked tomorrow to cast their vote or use their influence for or against the prohibition of the importation of liquor intothe province, would. with comparntvely few exceptions. vote for prohibition.

That prohibition, imperfectly ss it has been‘ enforced at different periods, has greatly lessened drink- ing and drunkenness in this pro- vinca will not be questioned by those who can look back to condi- tions here under the old license system when almostevery other house on our principal business streets was a tavern and when there was a licensed tavern in ev- ery school district. Prohibition has closed the tavern and the roadside inn; it has made the tradic illegal and by so much it has removed the

open temptation and invitation to drink. Prohibition. it will be ad- mtted by rill. has been a great and but conditions still existing seem to indicate that

effective weapon,

The provinces of Alberta and Brit- ish Columbia made use of their proportion of the appropriation by wngtructing new roads in accord- ance with the specifications of the Act. As a result, Alberta has 44,207 miles of “improved Earth Roads." as against 15.193 of unimproved- British Columbia has 10590.86 of improved Earth Roads as against 1.055 miles of unimproved. Mani- toba's improved mileage is 2I_,000 as against 44,375 unimproved. Coming farther east to the older provinces. the proportion of im- proved to unimproved is much less. For instance, New Brunswick has 1.655 miles of improved as against 8.900 unimproved; Nova Scctla 2,452.9 improved as against 11,580 unimproved; Ontario, 11.800 1m- proved as against 18.700 unimprov- edc. Quebec 11,324 improved as against 29.616; Prince Edward Island 170 improved as against 3.468 unimproved. ' This was the mileage, according to the bulletin, on Oct. 3i. 1922. and as no road work was possible alter that date until June. 1923,ahy mileage additional to the above has been constructed during the pre- sent summer and fall. in this pro- vince no work was done on the roads after July 20. except the little incidental repairing dons under the present Government since they assumed ofilce in September. it appears now that we have been figuring on 3441.5 miles of road as finished last fall. whereas now it is admitted that this amount was

From those societies grew lthat temperance sentiment which ‘finally culminated inthe Pro- hibition Act. the great goal of tem- perance workers.

Notes hylhe Way

Mutual trade preference within the Great British Commonwealth is now attracing much sttenfoa in

it had its birth in Csnpda in the nineties of last century after the Dominion bad rejected proposals for unres- trlcted free mus with the" United States. ln part it was a reaction against abolishing our border cus- tom houses and a tnrn toward the Mother Country which Canadian sentiment then and since has patri- otically favored. The British pre- ference introduced by Mr. Fielding has since been continued as the policy of both the Liberal and Con- servative parties and has been in- creased. and the principle extended to trade between one dominion and another with benefic‘ l results.

But the so-called British prefer- ence as between Canada and the United Kingdom was not mutual. Canada gave a preferential rate of duty on British goods. but obtained in return no preference for Cana- dlan products in the British market. This inequality has been consider- ably complained of in protectionist circles in Canada, but it must be admitted that while the protection- ist dominions claim the right to shape their own tariffs and tsade policies to suit themselves they must accord a like freedom to thc United Kingdom. And no party in Great Britain has so far ventured to propose that duties shall be laid on agricultural products, meats. foodstuffs, lumber and other rnw materials from foreign countries, while these are still permitted to enter the British market free o! duty from the oversea dominicns.

The Toronto Mall and Empire deals with the large question of Inter-Commonwealth trade in a broad and comprehensive spirit. it points out that in the changed ocu- dltions since the war, the lack of available markets, the high tariff barriers set up by the United States. and from other causes,bofh the Mother Country and the Dom- lnlons are suffering needlessly and that the remedy lies to a largeex- tent in their own hands by adjust- ing their tariffs accordingly. "Can- ada can favor Britain very largely indeed," it says, "solely at the expense of the United States and Britain can similarly favor Canada at the expense-of the United States. The Empire countries can mend their trade and industry by buying from one another what foreign

them. This is the object of those} {who advocate Empire preference.

sacrifices for Canada, as has been falsely alleged. but they ask Brit- sin to cease making sacrifices for the United States and the countries of Europe whose doors are largely closed to Empire goods.”

Nor do the advocates of prefer- ence ask Canada to make sacrifices for- Britain. lt has been contend- ed that in the woollen industry, of which Britain is the largest manu- lacturer and exporter, Canada might be placed at a. disadvantage by the preference. This can easily be guarded against. Just now the Canadian woollen industry is in a critical condition because of com- petition, which comes not merely from Britain but from France as well. It would be obviously better for the Canadian woollen factory workers if they had but one out- side competitor instead of two or more. And both Britain and Cana- da would gain by the change. in like manner the ent're British C ' wealth of Nations would be strengthened and built up industri- ally and commercially by a mutual preference throughout in their tar- iffs and trade relations.

Universal free trade might be a wissirabls condlt‘ if all nations would adopt it and adhere to it. But today outside of the British isles the entire world is committed to protection. The British Domin- lcns oversea form no exception to the general rule. Their example is 1611611118 1190a the Mother Country.

New York Police Again Investigated

to be investigated in New York City. The last inveatlgaticn occur- red two years ago. Ill 1111110 6'11- dence was produced that would have shocked the residents of moat cities, it had little elect iu New York. There were ‘no dismissals, and Commissioner Enright was more firmly established in ofilcs than ever. One of the moat signi- ficant things revealed at this in- vestigation was that the Commie sionsrhad banked 8100.000 in the preceding four years. l-lis salary is 87.500 a year. it was also shown that he had received a cheque for more than 812.000 from Allan Ryan. the stock broker, famous for his Stutz corner. and an honorary de- puty police commissioner. Ryan told Enright that the money repro- sented the profit on a little gamble in which he had made Enrighta partner. but further investigation revealed the fact that at the time Ryan said this money had been made. the stock that was the ma- dlum bad been either inactive or bad slightly declined. Mr. Ryan had also made Mrs. Enrlght the present of a State car. Another deputy police commissioner had offered Enrlght s Packard car, but he had accepted it merely as a loan, he testified.

Police Bcotlsgpsrs.

There are no definite charges against Enright at the present time beyond the general assertion tht he did not maintain discipline in his force. It appears that some time ago a couple of detectives came upon a truck load of liquor and received 82.500 for letting it proceed on its business. Later they were lnfonuedthat the liquor was the property or under the protec- tion of a couple of police inspect- ors. Thareupon they dlsgorged 82.000 and were warned not to in- terfere again with this particular bootlegger. They reported the mat-

informed Commissioner Enright, but no action was taken untila few days ago when the facts having been made public, the man who told Enrigbt was dismissed and the two detectives were warned that they would be investigated by the department. The Commissioner is

Graft slid Crime.

How much Mr. Hughes has made since is not known, but would be interesting to learn. Apart from the numerous suggestions and in some cases the open charges that _tbe Police Com- missloner is a graftor has been the fact that crime has beeurampant in New York since i-lylan became Mayor. At first Commissioner En- rlght sought to meet the newspaper outcry by the statement that the crime was an inevitable aftermath of war. Later, he blamed the insur- ancs companies who would take any sort of risk and thus tempt criminals. Finally he accused the IIQWIDIDBH and intimated that they had given outside criminals the idea that New York was avery paradise for them and had thus at- tracted most of the crooks of the country. i-iis latest explanation in that there has been no crime wave 8809M what ‘exists in popular 1m. sgihation.
