Another case is still pending. lt will thus be seen that in every iii- stance where coniplaint. has been brouglit to the Gunrdiaii's notice and investigated, the Government has been proved vigilant active anti eller-tetl in its administration of ilie Proliibitioii Act.

Ed. G-l iitiinilclfcoiilliirze Sir,-Our brief letter of yesterday has raised a new and grave issue. A few days ago you attacked the Al' liniice by charging them with attempt- ing to usurp the place of the Adminis- tration, nnd when challeiiged to prove your :iliegatioiis you replied by stating that the Alilaiice had asked for prolii- bition legislation and had criticised the manner in which the present Pro- bitioii Act has been enforced. We replied by exposing the utter absurdity and faisity of the so-called proofs you offered in support of yoih' charges. Yon now change the issue entirely and charge the Alliance with political partisanship. - We niaynuote n few of your ex- pressions as follows: (1) ‘_"l‘emperance activity in this province; has within the past year or so degeiiernted into a _thinly veiled political campaign." (2) ‘"1-‘lie Provincial Temperance Alliance _ _ _ _ .has been largely in- fluenced, if not dominated, by a few nien Whose c'iii`e'f hiffi"aIii$ei1'l‘§' to"lTe"l7o' censure the Government for alleged laxity in the -enforcement of the Pro- hibition Act and to have their own method of campaigning justified by stereotyped resolutions interjected at public meetings and by private per- sonal ~attacks, by. innuendo or other- wise." (3) “For directing attention to the many gross exaggerations and misre- preseiitatloiis published broadcast. not in the interests of temperance but ob- viously to cmbarass the Government, the Guardian has been assailed. (Your suggestion being that these exaggera- tions and misrepresentations were made by us.)" ' (4) "The Alliance has permitted it- self, perliaps unwittingly. to he domi- nated by one or more politicians, and, we regret, has. by taking part in the political game, done serious iniury to the cause of temperance.” 1 (5) “The Alliance, if it is to resume its place as a power for good, which it unquestionably was before it fell in- to its present unenviabie condition, :nun purge itself of political wire-puli- ng." ~ We quite realize the serious nature of the charges you now see fit to make against us, butfwe are prepared to meet you here also, and to prove the utter groundlessness of your malicious allegations. in the first place we may state that nearly every member of the Alliance Committee is on the same side ol pol- itics as the present Government. This the Prohibition Act is being iiagrantly e Sir.-As some people are under the 1,,|0m,od? Are we to be denied th 1 false i“\l>l'€BB|0h Y-Ml fright, as free citizens. to discuss tem- r.

[This letter is but another example oi' the loose and inaccurate manner in which charges have been launched against the Government and The Guar- dian. The Guardian never charged the Executive with being animated by party bias: thc charge is that the Al- liance, (including the Executive) “has permitted itself, perhaps unwittingly, to be dominated by one or more politi- cians, and _ . _ has by taking part in the political game, done serious injury to the cause of temperance.” The Guardian has not denied the Alliance “the right as free citizens to discuss temperance conditions as they exist to-day/" Every latitude has been allowed, and adverse critlcisni oilered only when certain officials overstepped the hounds of accuracy.-Ed.
