(Frdm Our Own Reporter)

OTTAWA. April 10.-Sir Robert

Borden_ia_the Commons Saturday on behalf of the Government accepted the amendments made by the Seville to the resolution praying that an ad- dress be sent to the King providing for andncrease in the representation of the Upper House in Western Can- ada and that the representatioll ot' li province in the Commons shall never be less than the number of senators to which it is entitled. This means that Prince Edward Island will now get four representatives. 'Sir Robert in the course oi' ll. short speech said that the senate amend- ment was practically the some as the one of last year and which had not been accepted by the Government. The only difference was that it did not

'refer to the representation of the pro-

vinces in the Lower House. He re- gretted tbe attitude of the Upper House, remarking that it had again insisted on passing this amendment for reasons which were quite obvious. While he had not changed his opinion he was disposed on this occasion, in view of the necessity of getting this legislation passed, to accept the amendment and he accordingly moved flbat it be concurred in.

Hon. Robert Rogers said that never

in the history ofthe Canadian Parlia- ment have the representatives of the

people been faced with a more humi- liating condition. Although elected to represent the people, he said, we are not allowed to carry out a democratic form of Government as provided for by tho constitution, which has been set at defiance. The statement that the Senate and House of Commons in- creases should coincide hc said was not according to the law. The Gov- crnor-General, ho says, has rl rigllt to say who shall be named as senators ami when the appointment shall take place. The amendment to this mea- sure has been madc by the Senate simply with the idea. of helping the Liberals. Mr. Rogers then proceeded to charge the Opposition with bad faith. At the last regular session of Parliament he said the Liberals had promised that if a reasonable redis- tribution bill were passed they would not oppose on increase in the Senate representation for the West. The re- distribution hill was of a kind in re- gard to which the Opposition could make no complaint. The Opposition had failed to keep this agreement-. Mr. Rogers declared that Sir Wilfrid Lau- rier was more autocratic than the Kaiser. in closing he stated that wherever one goes the cry comes in tones louder than thunder that Parlia- ment should dissolve in order that the people could put an end to the present condition of affairs.

Large audiences attended all the

Mr Whiteliearl, preached on the subject: “ What is Wrong with Chur- lottetown Churches?" He said, in part: This question can be answered with one word, “Worldliness." Church members are too neglectful of their duty and arc continually allowing the things of'the world to keep them from the House of God.

There are some places where the

Men and women may go into questionable places and engage in questionable things as Christian men and women. but sooner or later, if they continue in this poisonous atmosphere, the germ of spiritual life will be destroyed.

tlcally n dead letter. A law observed more in the breach than the obser- vance was worse than no law at nil. He wished to indicate the danger they were in in putting through any re striction that had not the full accord and approval of that House. Rather than allow such a difficulty to arise he would be prepared to let the clause stand over to give the leader ol the Opposition an opportunity ni’ reconsill~ ering his position.

Mr RICHARDS said he had merely

offered his individual opinion. As far as he could see the proposed amendment would strengthen the Act. He was willing to admit that thc Mag- istrates were the best judges of what was necessary for the successful ell- forcement of the law. In offering his opinion he wished to state that he was not opposed to the amendment, but merely wished to suggest that there were difficulties which even this am- endment would not remove. He re- cognized tllat it was not good to have divided opinion upon such a. point. and he wished it to be understood that he was not opposed to the amendment.

Mr A. P. PROWSE said the only way was to adopt the recommendation of the Magistrates who had a great deal of experience in eudeavoring to suc- cessfully operate the law.” These of- ficials had been naked their advice und that and other clauses in the amendments were the result.

FRIDAY, April 9, 1915.

When the House resumed at 8 p.

m. the Premier moved the second read- ing of the Bill "An Act to further amend An Act to Consolidate and amend the various Acts relating to the prohibition of intoxicating liquors;" and the House in committee, Mr. Fee- han in the chair, considered it clause by clause.

THE PREMIER said that the am-

endments that were now before the committee were amendments that llnd been recommended by the Stipendinry Magistrates and prosecutors. The Stl- pendiary Magistrates had pointed out that one of the greatest difficulties they had to deal with was in regard to beer, that it was made a cloak for all kinds of invasions of the Act. and that were it not for the protection af- forded hy the "3 per cent,” in many parts of the country there would be no trouble in absolutely wiping out the last remnants of offences against the Act. There was one matter that they would have to consider before they finally disposed of the Bill and that was that under the law as it existed quantities of beer below 3'pcr cent. might have been bought and paid for or contracted for so as to continue an obligation. Those people who had bought in that way and put in stock without any intention of breaking but abiding by the law, it would be proper for the Committee to determine whether or not there should be some provision made so as to suspend operation of the clause or in some other way to avoid doing all

injustice to any who had honestly con- tracted llabllltles. He put this for- ward as a proposal that the Committee would be able to take fully into ac- count.

HON. MR. ARSENAULT thought.

with the Premier, that some measure should be adopted whereby those who had beer in stock under li per cent. or who had contracted for supplies. should be secured against any injus- tice by the amendments. He knew of u. case in which a man had a lot. of beer below 3 per cent., alld it would be a hardship if it had to be left on ills hands without any means of disposing of it. When the Prohibition Act was

ou ht into force the eo lc who had

off the other. He considered there was sufficient tempcrnnce opinion to throw aside party allegiance so far as making effective the operation of the Prohibition Act. and he did not think anything was to be gained by expres- sing doubt or suggesting difficulties when they were acting upon the best advice that could be given them. They also wanted to he fair and just alld hc thought it right that compensa- tion of some kind should be given to those who had in stock for sale quan- tities of the beer which it was now intended to make illegal.

l_VIr J. A. DEWAR said he would be

quite willing to take the opinion of the stipendiary magistrates on this sllb-

ject. They were the people who were up against the difficulties to be en- countered and he felt the Legislature was secure in following their advice. In the matter of compensation they would have to be fair and just. it would be all arbitrary not nn their part to make the sale of three per cent. illegal without giving tile retail- ers all Ovnorlunlty of getting rid of
