During the debate on tho Prohibi-
tion Resolution in the Legislature. the Hon. A. E- Arsenault delivered a. vigorous speech in defence of the Government and fn reply to the ma- llgnantattacks made on Judge. Magis- trate and Prosecutor.
HON. A. E. ARSENAULT said ho
was surprised ~the'Leader of the Op- position should give ear to the sland- ers being spread broadcast over the tbreo counties. . The least he could do usa responsible member of the House was to make inquiries for himself and lie would find, as the Premier had clearly demonstrated. that there was not a shadow of, foundation in fact for the uniust aspersions.
MR. ll.iCliARDS: To \vhat aspors-
ions tl0 You refer. '
MR. ARSENAULT: The lion. mem-
bel' Said that it-was common talk ‘fthat noverbeforc had there been such lax- lty in thc enforcement of the Prohibi- tion law." What _was the proofs? Wcrc they not the results of the enforce- ment? Then what were the facts a- bout these results? The Premier had clearly shown in the statement he submitted and they saw that whereas lu 1910 some $600inprohibition fines had been collected, in 1914, $2,200 had been collected. There had been more convictions obtained in prohibition cases in the last three years than dur- ing the whole of the previous ten years. These were the facts about the enforcement of the law and who dare say that the Government was lax in its _admlntstrationf He should like to

SOME LIGHT
_Some Inner History of
Mr. Strong about some of thc cases and in the course of the discussion it was suggested that some compromise might be arranged. The Field Secre- tary agreed. to a compromise in tho Ferguson and Mohciian case and sub- sequently spokc to Mr. Strong’s bro- ther on the subject. llc now denied that. but what confirmation had they that such an arrangement was made? Was it not a fact that the i"Icid Secre- tary had previously entered into similar agreements. in Souris and was it not likely that he would consider 'hc was at liberty to do the same in Sum- merslde? lt_ is true the excuse they new give for their action in Souris was that the detectives had no place to stay at und. flint they want- ed to ' get out as soon as possible. It seems that after the Field Secretary had made the compromise he reported the mat- tcr to tho Secretary of the Alliance and its Counsel. Tlley, it appeared did not agree to the compromise and -did not wallt to carry it out. If the ’ Field Secretary had beelrxnaxxly and strnigllt forward what should his ac- tion have becn? Would he not have returned to the Counsel in Summer- sidc and said “I made that agreement for compromise but l find my people are not willing to carry it out." In these circumstances, he (Mr. Arsena- uit) did not think Mr. Strong, or Coun- sel for the defendants wouldhave in- sisted upon its fulfilment. But what actually did happen? After the com- promiseyhad been made, Mr. Bentley said that,Mr. Strong had no stand- ing in the case. and he repudfntedlit. it was in these circumstances that Mr. Strong came and consulted him. He (the Speaker) knew that Mr. Strong had always acted for the pro- secutor. till then, and having done all the preliminary work in getting out the papers, he felt it was unjustiflable for Mr. Strong to be thrown to one side at that particular juncture, at the Instance of Mr. Bentley. He Mr. Arssnault got into'communicatlon with the acting Premier (Mr. Mathis- son being in Ottawa at the time) and asked him whether he had any instruc- tions from the Attorney General that Mr. Strong was not to act. Mr, Mac- Kinnon answered that he‘ did not and would not take the responsibility of
instructing that he was not to act.

A group of charges of that kind is disposed of' by Judge McLeod in this way, 1, 2, 3and 5; "I don’t find these charges sustain- ed by the evidence, for some discre- tion must be allowed the prosecutor' in bringing actions."
THE PREMIER then read the find-.

Continuing he said: Now. that is the decision of Judge

REGRETTABLEE OPPOSITION
Ullriuit the recess. I regret to sag
the attitude of some 'of the members of thc Alliance towards the Govern- ment has been anything but commend- able. Willie repeated offers have been made to thc Alliancc or perhaps I should say while the Alliance has been unable iq work in harmony with the government. some members of the Alliance seemed really more anx- ious to create un opposition to the govcrnlncut than they were to help the cause they were pretending to work f`or. I do not wish to unduly at- tack the Temperance Alliance but I must bc plain and speak out my mind. I do not approve of some of the inothods adopted by the Alliance in their work. l consider the employing of detectives of questionable charac- tcr and thai from outside this prov- invt-. should be condemned as being vt-ry much below the standard of lil- tt-grity und honour. that one should I-xpoct to find in the advocates of any riglitcous cause. It is my opinion that the employing oi' detectives without counting the cost. was at the bottom of the mutter in regard to several cases fullillg through ill Prince County something over a year ago; and li' certain members of the Alliance had been honest enough to acknowledge their mistake and failure it would have been very much better for their cause than-to\attempt to gather evi- dence against tho Government.
It is well known the Government
promised an investigation,_particulars of which you have heard from the Premier.
On this point I need not say any-
thing further but would advise. the officials of the Alliance to adopt only such methods as will bear the light of day and that may be in every sense commendable. I trust now when the amended Act becomes law that all honest and loyal citizens will do their port. to soc that the law is enforced. Tho cause wo arc now advocating may hr-ar some consideration from thrco stundpoints, namely individual. social and national. From the individ- ual standpoint-let me say, never bc-
