The Liberals under that staunch Prohibitionist, the Hon. J. H. Bell, were in power from 1919 to 1923.

Read what the Rev. Geo. C. Taylor had to say of the Liberal ad- ministration of the Prohibition Actwhen he spoke in Trinity Brick Church on January 4th, 1922, the third year of the Bell Regime.

I. TAYLOR

“Drtlnkenness andcrilne, always found together, have never been so rampant in my knowledge of P. E. I. as now,” the Rev. Mr. Taylor declared emphatically.

“I have lived here almost twelve years and without any doubt there has never been such a condition of things along the lines of dl'II1kiIlg'~—StlCIl looseness and such heineousness of crime.

“There was a period here when people-said, ‘Why do we keep a jail?’ Bub that time is past. Not only do we keep a jail but we con- tinue to keep it full.

“Property is no longer safe.

“It is true that a man’s place of business or his dwelling is no longer safe.
