Why Prohibition

Has Failed in P. E. I.

Bootlegging in Prince Edward island started qrldllelly after Picni-

al ` .

v

bltlon was established, steadily Increased in momentum and now has as- sumed immense proportions The evils which it has brought ln its train re pretty generally known and can no more be stopped whilc the Prohibition Law remains in force than the tide around the Province can be kept from- its ebb and flow. iWhy7 Because M, many of gpm” wh., oteti for Prohibition in pleblscltes are steady customers ofl the boot- ieggere, if they cannot get their supplies from other aouroes-and so many others who voted for Prohibition ln plebiscitee accept a soclal‘

been behind the enforcement of the law, The very legislators who made! the law were breakers of the law; But with I Government elected to enact and enforce Government Control there will be reasonable pros- pect of enforcement and in this way only can better temperance condi- tions be brought about. The Liberal Leader does not even propose to enforce Prohibition. He proposes to have a plebiscite and tohsve chesp- er liquor. He takes no responsibility. All he wants to do.is to get a Lib- eral Government elected. But senslb le people will figure this thing out for hemselves and deal with a practisal question ln a practical way.
