Sir,—-'I‘he question may well be asked, Shall the people of this Pro- vince govern in respect of its liquor laws or must they abdlcate? In order that there may be no misunderstanding, let the facts be recapitulated. Between 1880 and 1878 molly vot- ings of the people were held upon the question whether or not liquor should be sold for bevernio use. These votings took place at school meetings in school districts. Re- cords of the results of votings may perhaps exist but they are not read- lly available. Since that period voting by tlr people has taken place on the fol- lowing occasions: _ In i878. in Prince County; in 187i) in Charlottetown; in 1879 in Kings County; in 1880, in Queens County (rural); in 1884, in Prince County; in 1884, in Charlottetown; 1n 1887, in Charlottetown; in 1891. in Char; lottetowll; in 1893, throughout the Province; 1n 1N4, in Charlottetown; in 1897, 1n Charlottetown; in 1898, throughout the Province; in 1906, in Prince County; in 1906, in Queens County (nlral); in 1906. in Kings County; 1n 1928, throughout the Province; in 1227, throughout the Province; in 1929, throughout the Province. In all, 18 votings. Of these 18 votings, all but two- those in Charlottetown in 1891 and l894—were in favour of Prohibition and of more effective Prohibition- They were declarations by the peo- ple that the beverage sole of liquor should not be permitted. Even on the two occasions in Charlottetown when small majorl- ties were given against Prohibition (1891 and 1894) the overwhelming sentlme of the Province as a. whole was not against, but was in favour oi Prohibition, for at the Province-wide Jebiscite. held in 1893, the total vote of the Province, . including the vote in Charlottetown, was 76 per cent in favour of Pro- hibition. . Notwithstanding all these tests cf public opinion, it appears that a small coterie of persons, chiefly of Charlottetown. are now demanding that the Government ignore these plebiscites and votings and that Beverage Bale of liquor be legalized. Interested observers are wonder- ing if the Government will accede to this request. Members of the Government and of the legislature are giving no sign. They are silent, sphlnx-llke. The Liberal electors of the Pro vincs who believe in Prohibit-Ml and who helped place the presen reprsnntotfvu in power hold u. key which will readily unlock the riddle of the ilphinx. They can‘ quickly solve the question whether Prohibi- tion will be up: ‘and Govem- msnt Sale take its Ill-loo. A tcstinl time for those electors is hora to- day. If the Government finds there are a considerable number of Lib- eral men and women who believe in Prohibition and who hold the main- ‘ of the Prohibition Aco higher idthcir retard than more party allegiance, there will be no repeal. Government‘ Control will not be brought in. v Act will mean the loss 0f their sup- port, the problem will be solved im- mediately. Prohibition will remain the law. Government Control will,» be dropped. No government delib- erately “I suicide. Many Conservative votes were added to the Liberal vote of 1927. Together, they changed a situation where at a previous election there had been elected 25 Conservative and 5 Liberal representatives into a situation where, after the election of 1927, there were 24. Liberals and only 6 Conservative representatives. A vote for temperance can be s moral issue and can be above party- Determined action by Liberals to- day who love their country can save the Rohlbltion Act. It will do more; it will avoid a disruption of the Liberal party. Buch action must be taken at once if Prohibition is to be saved. If there is even a short delay it may be too late. I am, Sir, etc., - W. E. BENTLEY. LAX ENPOBCBMHVI‘ 8ir,-In your issue of Nb. 25th I read s long letter by your corres- pondent, Mr. W. K. Rogers, which appears to me very illogical. Any~ one knows that alcohol in 1773 made people just as drunk, and did just as much damage ‘to their health and their homes as alcohol in 1986. and that the laws both then and nolylv were made to curb a very great ev . Your correspondent quotes the Temperance Federation to prove that conditions are bad on P. E. I. now, and becoming worse. But not one figure is quoted to prove it. But if there is more breaking of the Prohibition law of late, it is un- doubtedly due to poorer enforce- meniL-cne of the well known pat- ent tricks of the liquor interests who know how to pull that particu- lar string in order to pile fuel. on popular discontent, and work up o demand for a change which they take care will be in the interests of the liquor business. . The Prohibitionisis and their op- ponents both agree that conditions are bad now. But hers is when we disagree. They claim that govern- ment control wdll improve matters. We claim that since liquor condi- tions have become very much worse in every other province that has changed from Prohibition to Gov- ernment Bale, there would not like- ly be an opposite result on P. E. I. We have omitted much ‘nfonna- tion to prove olr statement. Our opponents have not submitted proof that government sale improves the situation simply because such proof does not exist. It is on undeniable fact that gov- ernment sale in contrast to prohib- ition very greatly increases the con- sumption of alcohol. espccially among the young, whom the liquor interests do all in their power to educate to the use of intoxicants. And if the sale of liquor on P. E. I. is increased, it will be followed by an increase in drunloennms and law breaking, just as always happens. who can give us foundation for be- lieving the opposite? A change is undoubtedly needed. But let us have a change for the better, not for the worse.
