Advo- ' cates Strong Moral Campaign. In a. radio address from Somme-r- sidc yesterday Rev. W. H. Harding, speaking on the subject “Boys, Booze and- Bootieggers," made a strong ap- peal for better enforcement of the prohibition law. He stated that on Prince Edward Island we have Pro- hibition, but the law is not enforced. Instead of a’ prohibition campaign just before an election, as we had a ‘couple oi years ago, we should have a campaign of moral instruction and keep it going. Temperance people are becoming disgusted with the way things are going, but the speaker be- lieved that the fault was not with Prohibition but with its manner of enforcement. The prohibition people are playing into the hands of politi- cians and getting the worst of it. The speaker quoted the "Evening Mail"_ oi Halifax, exposing the rum-running conditions in that province, and stat- ed that we hear on every hand that the same conditions prevail on Prince Edward Island. The bootleg- gers are in the business because it means easy money. He cited as an example a. disgraceful affair men- tioned recently in the Summerside "Agriculturist." How long, he asked. will it be before professing Chris- tians of all denominations through- out the province will take the stand that if drinking made i1 brother to offend, they will. drink no more as long as the world stands? Total ab- stinence is the only safe ground for man or boy, and in order that we may have that a Prohibition Law is not enough; here must be the co- operation of the people, and there must be a bond of sympathy between the law end those who have the en- fol-cement of the law. The speaker said he was asked: "How can Prohibition bepniorccd ii some of the Government's own offic- icls break the law with. impunity? What are we to do? l-low can We account for some poor fellows being convicted, while the higher placed in society are practically above the law?" He believed the only wise course was for every Christian mun and woman to take a determined stand against the liquor traffic, to practice as \vell as preach total abstinence, particu- larly for the benefit of the rising generation, and to insist on better Prohibition enforcement. The address was broadcast from ClLGB. (Holmairs Ltd.) at Summer- side and created much interest. ' ANNOUNCEMENTS. comma EVENTS. MEETINGS, arc. "Roam HOOD RAPID cnnm oars. better oats, iietterohina.
