Dr. Macmillan: I shall read them —-v-V to ’ you: ’ Patrick McKenha. of Char- lottetown, restaurant keeper, found guilty of second offence, convicted and sentenced ,to six months in Queens County Jail, was committed’ on March 27th. 1928, and released on August 30th. 1928 to enter Hospital. Hector McQuarrie of Charlotte- town, laboner, found guilty of first offense. was committed on October 19th. 192B. and released Nov. 2nd. 1928 in enter Kentvillc Scnalorlum for tuberculosis treatment. Wallace Fields‘ of' Charlottetown, convicted in the City Police Court for having liquor in his possssslonugwes fined 0100 orthreo months in’ Queens County, Jail-was com- mitted on December 7th, and re- leased on December 19th, stiffer- lng" from epilepsy fits which in~_ creased after being confined. Pflilhill Blunders: Well, I. must say that r was awafwhcn that lut one Was released. ‘ _ “Dr. Macllflllan: We know that; I om Just pointing out to you that you were mistaken" as usual. We rend further: "Nine. convicted offenders are ~stll1 at large. In souie cuss the commitments have been. shypd by the Commission. The others.» v will brexecuied as u pol- sible. Several attain have been made in Ame them minded in» butnthoy are evadinl the ome- moulhs. My hon. friend will find now being vigorously enforced." "Six parties have absconded to avoid the unplcasantness of I. term in Jail and have not. yet rs- turned. " "Nine offenders convicted for offences under the Act have ap-»~ . plied for a writ of Certiorari to have the. convictions made against them quashed. The principal ground in their appli- cation is the Jurisdiction of the new Magistrate. n. Mr. Tweedy. These cases come before the ’ Supreme Court this, January term and will be settled." STILL UNSETTLED These casesV were tried in the Supreme Coilitlind a decision was given: and though I am not a law- yer I believe that the merits of the question, as towheth-er Mr." Tweedy has Jurisdiction or riot, has not been settled; that the decision handed down by the-Judges of the Supreme —Gourt was only on the method of attack, and that tho question will yet have to be'retried.“'l‘his is the fvigorous enforcement" of the Pro- hibition Acf. of which my hon. friends boast. But here is a strange thing, Mr. Speaker; that in 1928 the convictions against offenders undelytho Prohib- tion Act amounted to 117, and in 1925, when the Stewart Government" was in office-the which, according to the Premier, allowedwhe Prohibition Act to go into dlsrepute and whose only ob- Ject in having a. Prohibition Act, it seems was to make money,‘—how year, do my hon. friends know? i Hon. Mr. Lea: That condemns- your system.‘ It shows that you were not trying. v . Dr. MacMillan: Oh, yes, it shows we were. not trying-been . we only made 103._My. hon. friends have been trying; they multiplied the mach- honcst effort," to make "the first sincere attemptflfand they have just ‘ ’ the ‘ ‘ ‘ by fourteen over-Dike number under the Stewart G... rnulent inliizfi. jVhat do you think of that, Mr. Speakerf-Isrrt that’ a. wonderful rec- ord afflr all those promises, and af- ter all this talk of "vigorous en- fw- emeni." ' 0f um RECORDS RE PROHIBITION n my hon. friend the Premier will Just look up the record of prohib- ition convictions, I think it will give him cause for some thou . Let him go back to 1922, when he convic- tions numbered 56.'In 1923, the con- victions were 47; in 1924. o9; in 1925. 103, in 1928, '72; in 1927, ‘89, and in 1928, 117. You will find that there is just a. little gradual increase all the time in the number of convic- tions. I submit that the_oilly infer- ehcepne can draw from this is that there are mor people engaged in the liquor business. That is Just where Prohibition places us. There- are twenty one in the Jail in Sum- merside and I do not know how many are in Jail here; but I know that they are having a. goodtimc. apyway, no matter how many there fro. In fact it seems to be aigreat pleasure to get into that Jail. My hon. friend the Premier stated that the conditions were being made so severe that people wouldn't want to gct fit. They may have cut down the quality of the food a little, but there‘ are other ways of getting "food. This business has developed as one of the fruits of prohibition; they don't mind whether theifisre put on Jail fare or not as Sunday after Sunday one can see parties going out there, lugging the nioeties and duxuries to those bootleggers. My hon. friend can go up to Ot- iawicena tell the Women's cams"- ion Club of the success that prohi- bition is achieving, andwhoit he wouldn't be premier ‘of a province that didn't have prohibition; that Government ControLis worse than "war, pestilence and famine" and that Prince Edward Island. wouldn't think of having anything else but Prohibition now that it is being so "successfully enforced,"— according to the words he put in the Governor's Speech and which almost choked him when he read them.

Herc is one famousmmend- ment put In the Prohibition Act last year: _ ~ " “53a. Any person who con- sumes or drinks any liquors which have been obtained or Pfflcuipd in contravention of the provisions of this Aeiqshall be liable on summary" conviction to a. penalty for the first offence of notiless than two hundred dol- lars, nor more than four hund- red~dollars and in default of im- mediate payment oi said fine and costs, to imprisonment ‘in the common Jail of the’ County wherein such offence shall take place for not less than three months "months, unless the said penalty and’ all costs and charges and all costs of the commitment and carrying the offender to the said Jail are sooner paid. and for a second or any subsequenteoffence ’to imprisonment in such Jail for not less than six months nor , more than twelve months." Now _1 want to ask the Premier: 0f those _.'§45 persons who were ar- Charlottctown last your, scrum of them “drunk andineapable,” others “drunk and disorderly" how many were fined under that section? Mr. W. C. S. MlwLure: Make him answer. -Dr.‘ MncMillan: Mr. Premier, as you are so happy that this Act is novv liclng "rigorously enforced," will ‘you answer that question? ‘ (The Premier did not reply.) i) LAX ENFORCEMENT Rcsumlng the debate on March 22nd, Dr. MacMillan said: You will recall. Mr. Speaker, the when the Prohibition Act was made "more workable" he would show the great things the Government would do in the way of enforcement. Is it an index _of "the co-operation b:- tween the Government and the Pr'o- hibltion" Commission that he does not appear ‘to know even the num- ber oi’ prisoners released. He says two, whereas 'there have been three. If this “co-operation was no better than that existing between the Government and the Temperance Alliance, it cannot be of a very high girder. Yesterday he was repudiating the views of a melriier of theAl- liance, said by him to be a Conser- votive. Aha this is hot the ‘first time that‘he "has done- so. Does he claim that only Liberals can take any interest in the Alliance. or that the Liberal "party and prohibition ‘are synonymous? But when we have members of‘ that Alliance saying pub- llcly, that they have been duped and deceived by the polltlcians— ’ Liberal politicians-mum. are we to he Prohibi- think?’ As‘ I said yesterday, tlon. Act, so for from being "rigor- ously enforced," ls not-being enforc- ed at all. I instanced section 53a whereby persons guilty of drunken- ness are to be prosecuted under that provision and fined $200 or sent to Jail for thred months. Has any at- tempt been made to enforce this pro- vision? You can go thruogh this whole Act from beginning to and and you will find 1hr! some discrepancy between the actual facts and tho statements of my hon. friends.___.

What a ridiculous state- ment! All lie would have to do would be to go to his own homo town of Summerslde and look‘ at the records of the Police Court, under his very eyes, and he would find nnlncrease in drunkenness, an increase in the criminal record, an increase in the number of convictions under this Act. "Oh," he says, “but that is ‘the way we are enforcing the Act. The more there are arrested for drunken- ness the better the Act is being cri- forced." » Iwclaim, Mr. Speaker, that if you are going to enforce the Pro- hibltion Act, that is notthe proper way. If you are goi to allow all kinds of liquor to come nbo the pro- vir/g/you cannot enforce Prohibition by arresting and fining some of the drunks. The question is, how are you going to deal with the supply of liquof that is continuing to come in under the "Act which my hon. friend has "improyed" and made "more workable" last session? _ WHERIEARE Tull DIGUNTIES? The Leader of the Qpposition has ut a very pertinent“ enquiry: “Where are. those mounted policemen who were going to create such’ a re- volution incthe- chin-cement of lthe Prohibition Act?" Where are they today? Where didthey come from and for what purpose? "Brought here through the machinations‘ of my hon. friends on the other side o‘! the House, probably aided and "abet- ted by some of the Liberal members of the House of Commons. For what purpose? Was it to promote temperance, to stomp out bootlegglng or suppress the drink evil? No! not at all. They were brought hgge for one express purpose, and that was to try to get this wonderful S8279‘ gallon that we see before us elected to control the, government of~ fill!
