"xi it is the will of the people that we have lreer sale. then it is the Legislature to their will." Mr. Wright sa. ' are we in anly doubt about what that willie‘! I think we have been made acquainted with the will o! the people in this regard better than on any ques- tion which will come beiore us at the present session. Time alter time this question has been put to our people in the iorm oi a pleb- iscite. and once as a plank in a political platlorm st a general election. We know the result. On every occasion on which the ques-
tlcn was submitted the verdict lily
was unmlstnkcably against ircer sale oi alcoholic beverages. Why then is this question brought up et this time?"
The Legislature. Mr. Wright claimed, had no mandate lrom the people to repeal the Prohibition Act. andanyone who suggested doing so was taking "a step against the very principle oi democracy" ior which Canadian soldiers are lighting in Europe today.

e people had stated their opin- ion in this remeot. and there was nothing more to be said about it. So I claim that this Legislature has no mandate from the people to make an change whatever in our Prohibl on Act."
Mr. Leslie Hunter: ‘Might l ask the hon. member: would he say that this Government has u mandate irom the people to sell 8700.000 worth oi liquor in iiiteen months under the Prohibition Act?"
Mr. Wright: ‘The Government has a mandate from the peopslse to sell liquor on presyripticn ucd by the medical proieaslou. Anv liquor that is sold in this Prov- ince by the Government is sold on prescription.
Dr. MacMillan: “Not always. because a whole lot who are no! doctors have been getting nrr- scri lions."
r. Wright: "Oi course. have the armed iorces here."
Dr. Maclidillan: "A whole lot who never saw the armed lorces are getting them.”
Mr. Wright: “Do you mean to say that there is liquor being solrl by this Government without pre- scription ircun the doctors?"
. McMillan: "I said that doc- tors are not responsible ior all the liquor sold, because there was a whole lot that were getting the saute prescriptions that the doc-
tors were." "I know there was “No. not boot-
. . "Do you know oi any sold otherwise?"
Dr. McMillan: “X am making the statement that prescriptions were given to others that were not doctors."
Mr. Wright: “When was that?“
Dr. McMillan: “Within the last live years."
Continuing, Mr. Wright quoted Mr. Seville as stating that hc was prepared to have another plebis- cite. “I am prepared/f he said. “to have one too i1 we have got to have one. I would say have another plebiscite belore we make any change in the law. But l dont see why the people should be put to this expense time alter time."
"The Canadian Legion makes the statement that the law is a iailure. Why has it been the failure which they claim it to be? 1s it not the duty oi every loyal citizen to observe the law o! the land. whether he personally ap- proves oi the lawor not? Ii any citizen reiuscs to do this. he ls a law violator and should be re- garded as such."
A_ member oi the legion dele- gation had said in respect to pco- ple who did not chan e their views m Prohibition, t at such
le were incapable oi initiat- ng or carr out relorms. "it seams to me t t it is racticslly impossible tor any intell ent per- son to go through llle without hanging his mind in a great y a and on a great var- ol subjects." Mr. Wright said. He added that there were iunda- mentsl questions. involving moral issues. about which intelligent people did not change their minds. There were many people in this Province who had very deilnitely made up their minds that the liquor trellis was remonsibie ior many evils. and as these people progressed in liie their experience com. lied them to believe that also elic liquor was an evil that should be supprss .
Much had been said about poison bootleg liquor. and people say they shcvid be able to got good liquor. 4r. Wright continued. He could re- membe when we did not have such a thing as moonshine. It was all so-called good liquor; and he could recall the drunkenness evi- dent at horse races and other public gatherings in those times "Itwesasaresultolthis ood liquor that we have Prohib tion today." he said.

Mr. Wright said he had seen men able to take small quantities oi liquor. but he had seen others equally brillilnt who came to rditsastroua énds as a‘ result o!
winking. e spoke a some u. on the evils oi liquor. citingniirgm an article in a Toronto paper ol last swtember. which deacribee: the prevalence oi drinking o poisonous lotions.
Mr. alcPhee: “There is a lorm cl Prohibition there now. is there not? They are prohibited irom selling the usual amount. They to a bottle a month. or
I something like that."

He refused to believe that there was more drunkenness here than in other provinces. l-le had trav- elled in every province in Can- ada. In travelling through neighboring provinces oi Nova lcotia and New Brunswick many times in recent years he had seen more evidence oi drinking than he had seen here.

now in my opposition to the liquor trailic. This argument they are advancing is only a prool that I have been willing to change my mind when judgment dictates.
When automobiles were ilrst ln-i
lroduced they were so high in price that only the iew wealthy people in the Province could buy them. It looked as ii a farmer would never be able to aliord them. But Henry Ford came along with his Model ‘T oar and brought the price down low enough that the farmers ol this Province could buy it. When that came along I bought a car and 1 have been driving one ever since.
Mr. McPhee: “Perhaps ll liquor got cheap enough you would chavnfle your mind too." (Laugh- ter .
Mr. Wright: ‘That is a dilierent proposition al ether.
Education in t e homes. he said. must accompany Prohibition and temperance teaching in the schools.
"Since I have come to Char- lottetown at this session," he said, "I have discovered that propa- ganda about bootlegglng has been working. Some temperance peo- ple argue that ProlTlbltion is the cause oi so much bootleg liquor being sold. I am informed by the Attorney General that the duties oi the R. C. M. P. do not include the enlorcenlent oi Prohibition Act ln Charlottetown. that it is the responsibility oi the City pol- ice. in any ease what does this propaganda amount to. i would bc ashamed with the intelligence l have. and with what I know. to be iooled by propaganda oi this kind. The Canadian Legion ls reported to have stated that prac- tically cvery school district in the Province was manufacturing moon- shine. I come irom the Fourth District o!

doing so. This propaganda is sickenin" to my mind and it is un- worthy of the consideration oi the
