Lucii of Power to Prevent importation ol

Alcohol from St John Halifax and Elsewhere

In the Prohibition debate in the,

Legislature, Hon Charles Dalton and,J H Myers were among the most effective speakers

HON MR DALTON said that

there had been considerable commen dation for the Alliance by resolutions passed promiscuously throughout the country, while these resolutions condemned the Government was prepared to do all in his power to further the cause of tempcrance and to give all the assistance he could. and he thought it was unfair on the part of the Patriot to state that the Government was Working against the Alliance The Govern ment was not working against the Ai llance, nor did the Alliallce itself thi k so, but the Government was we king against a few unreasonable fanatics wllo would stoop to any thing however desplsable in order to gain some political advantage The temperance question should not be political at all The Patriot, ill ai lowing itself to be used as the vehicle of evident slander, sllowcd an clltire disrespect for the two words which stood out prominently ill the prayers read every day ill the House-Truth and Justice lie remarked on the iluprovcmont which had become cvl dent since the present Govc-rnllient culno into power in lcgurd to the detectives wllo had been enlploycd by the Alliance. he thought there was nothing as mean us or merited the condemnation of every clcarlninded citizen more than the pernicious methods which they had been nlade to employ in order to secure their end, A certain man in days of yore sold 'himself for tllirty pieces of silver. but he had til hang himself The de tcctives were almost ill ll. parallel position A great deal oi' trouble ill connection with illc liquor trafllc lay ill tho fact that young fcllows clubbod. togcthcr and sont away from time to time to the luainlnnd for whisky, which they sold again Tllat wus u very ditiicult matter for thc- Govern ment to tackle Speaking in refer enco to Judge McLeod's decision, Mr Dalton said that if the Judge had been criticized in the same way in his or dinary judicial capacity, those who

THE PREMIER l doll’t think his

name is any secret lt is David Schurnlall

Mr Dalton concluded his remarks

by all urgellt appeal to all in the hour of national trial to do their ut most to aid tile Empire ill the task of vlnlqulshing her enemies
