1 _Jw .__ B OUR POSITION.

It is nite noteworthy that both

the Piogeer and irs city associate the Patriot, while zealously defending the License Act as expedient, promis- ing many go0.l things that it will sc- ¢ implish ar 'l roundly abusing Tun GUARDIAN,ha\'e little or nothing to sa y in favor of the principle of license "They do noi attempt to argue that the priric`pl ~ of hcensiiig the rum _ trade is sou..~l. Nor do they attempt to meet the arguments put forward in this journ-rl showing the Wrong of receiving przl lic revenue from such a. source, this-; debauching the public _ cgnsgience sslld &DCl10l';Dg I-he €Vll within the \-ery citadel of the state.

All our readers are aware that

THE Gu.».nnr.\.\',while now so fiercely cgndemngd by the Pioneer and its erratic c0ni~ ere the Patriot, has not changed its ground one iota in regard to any pha~e of the quest-ion at issue Tun Guinnrix stands where it stood last-year ar:-l years before, on thc pro- hibition phtiorni. Failing to secure entire prohioition for Canada ve sup-l port the Scott Act as a valuab e tem- perance measure. We have 1-.l ways condemned the principle of. lfcensing the liquor traliic, whether by high or_ low license. We submit to intelli- gent reader f, or even to the Pioneer and the Patriot themselves thi » quf<~- tion : Ought Tan GUARDIAN ro hav . adandoned a. principle to vhic`_ it has constantly adhered, simply because the government has introduc -i and carried a License Law 'l _I

Before the recent sessi in of l’»h6l

Legislature we were fortified in -our opposition ‘o the principle of license by the solid array of the temperance orders, the governing bodies of the Presbyterian, Methodist and Baptist b .dies and by many clergymen of other denominations. And we had also the pledges, vrritten and signed by the leading temperance men in the House that they would' oppose the principle of license. Among them was the written pledge of Hon. Donald Far- quharson, published in these columns that he would not “under any circum- stances” support a license law for the City of Charlottetown.

And how do matters stand today 'Z

The law has been passed and $4,000 of license moneys received by the very men who most selemnly pledged them- selves not to legislate in that way. It was carried at the final vote by a majority of one vote only. _ Any one of these supposed opponents of license -Hon. Mr. Farquharson, Hon. l\lr. Sinclair, Hon. Mr. FJrbes, Mr. D. A. McKinnon or Mr. S. E‘ Reid- to name no more-could.by his single vote have defeated the measure, They all consented to the act and deed by which 'the license sys- tem is brought it. It then became the clear duty of THE GUA RD- rsn to show up the aczion of these men in its true light. 'U nplcasant as

I

the duty might be2_;bere could be no alternative course pursue For the editor of a prohibitionist and anti- license journal to have remained silent or to have condoned the action ofthe men who did this,would have been a betrayal of principle very 'similar to what we have charged against the public men we have

named

epithets and malignant but silly mis

representations we have not parted ‘ _ ' company with our old friends, the. temperance orders or religions bodies above reiurred to. We stand on the 2 -oamegronnd andin the name good company as before. It is tho- politi- cians and the organs °‘for revenue”
