There are many sensible people in both our politic- al parties who take thought from time to time of the political, the '- moterial, the moral and social wall- boing and prosperity of our belovf ed Province and the moment in a favorable one for these thoughtful electors to calmly conside the course of events ill our millet dur- ing the past thirty years.

Within that period the public men who brought ur the Oar Ferry, re- covered $100,000 a year that was justly due us from Ottawa, and saved our federal representation from being reduced to two mem- bers, were at once defeated at the polls. Was that a wise or a just decision? Think it over!

In place of the men who brought us all those benefits and were re- jected, other men were elected who taxed the people with heavy‘bur- dens such as were never known be- fore in our fair island. Was that an honest, just or wise choice‘! Think it over!

Again we have had another Gov- ernment who brought us $165,000 of our just ducc from Ottawa and greatly reduced the tax burdens which had been laid upon the peo- ple by their opponents. Alld now that Government has also been de- feated. Think it- over!

This last has been done for what the loaders of the majority call the "holy" cause of prohibition. These self-righteous men, claiming to be lnore truly “tempei-ato" than the Apostles and Prophets of old, have taught as that there can he no temperance short of total abstlll- once and prohibition. it is not true, btlt the lie prevailed. Was it wise and just that it. should prevail? 'i‘lillik it over!

The prchibitionist members elect are known to many of those who voted for them. How many of those members have not violated the pro- llibitory law within the paet four years? is the new House one whit more sober alid law-abiding _tllan the older House recently dissolved? lWhat possible prospect is there of prohibition doing any good in the land with 27,000 votes just now ro-
