Prohibition was the big club which would compel all and sundry to quit the drink habit. Tentperance education, which had culminated in the enactment of a prohibition law, was neglected. The result in many cases has been reversion, hootlagging, smuggling, right un- der the flaming "Thou Shalt Not" or the Prohibition law and all its threats of fines and meats. The enactment of prohibition has not made ‘Canada immune from the danger or the he‘... habit. it has not taught our children the evil effect of drink upon mind and bfldy- It has not taught our boys that if they drink they cannot be. come athletes orscholars. it has only told them that they must not drink and that if they do the man who sells it to them, may if found forces int prison- out, be fined or. imprisoned. it was but a challenge to the advent“. of smoluuicnt in the government is required by law to HD9931 1° m” people for confitqtatlon of his all" pointmeut.

The 110001111‘ meat to office is regarded as a com- pliment to the constituency and is tisually accepted ns such. Where, us in the case of the llalifax constituency, the sitting member has been transferred‘ from his seat in parliament to an office outside of parliament and another member must be elected the case is entirely different. The question then is whether the BBVBTIIIBBI" i5 or is not worthy of the continued confidence of the people and the people have a clear right to ex- press their opinion. if there is dia- satisfaction with the government. the dissatisfied owe it to them- selves and to their country to con- test the seat. On the other hand. the government has an equally clear right to retain the seat by all fair and legitimate means. More- over, the government, if it be fair and honorable, is in duty bound to give the constituency every legiti- mate opportunity to express its ap- proval or disapproval. in the Halifax case the govern- lntent has not done this. On the contrary it has called on the elec- tion in the shortest possible time There are two vacant aoaia in the House of Commons for Mari- time conatituonélou. These are in Kent County, New Bruaswiciccuus- ed by the death of the sitting ment- ber, Mr. A. T. Leger. and the other in Halifax, due to the recent ap- pointment of lion. A. K. llicLean to the Exchequer Court. Both these seats were held by Liberals. Mr. Leger was elected in 2.330 tnujority and in 192i by 1.523. Mr. McLean was elected in Halifax in i921 with a majority of 4,876. i-ie has been twenty-two years in poll- tlcnl life. alternately holding a seat in the local Legislature and in the iiiouse of Commons. No date has we! bi-t-tt fixed for the (election in _'l(ent. but the voting in Halifax will take place on December 5th, if titere is a contest. Alberta has just had a spirited and exciting plebiscite on the pro- hibition question. The province has been under a prohfhitory law for some years, bttt the law has not been well enforced and much boot- iegging has been‘ complained of. Four questions were submitted t0 be answered by the electors, the important ones being: (A) which would continue the existing law, and (D) which provides for gov- ernment control and sale ofliquor. A strong array o! speakers upheld the "dry" cause. These included half a dozen clergymcn and Hon. Frank Oliver. The Moderation League relied mainly upon Michael Clark, ex-M.P., for Red Deer. The "wets" objected to their opponents importing speakers from outside. the prevalence of bootlegglng and the lack of revenue from liquor sales. With the large majority now shown for government control in Alberta, four provinces are in the "wet" column. It was in the Maritime Provinces that a prohibitory liquor law was first enacted in British America. New Brunswick led the procession in 1856. but the Act was ineffectual and had to be repealed the follow- lug year. Prince Edward island was the first province to pass a probibitory law after the Dominion was formed. That was twenty-OM ‘years ago. All the Marlilmes are inow ttn(ler prohibition. and we hope |may remain so.

And press hypocritically every- govcrnment in taking steps to fill the vacancy! No such “prompt- ness“ has been shown in filling the vacancy in Kent County, N.

Probably no government since Confederation has been as severe- ly criticized as has the Mackenzie Certainly no government has so flagrantly be- lied all its pro-election promises; no government has brought such disabilities upon its pimple, no gov- ernment has so bedsvilled trade and immigration and none has driven so many people out of Can- ada. Halifax still has an opportunity. King government. Halifax Conservatives, with no ex- cttse for their unpreparednesa, have still the chance to crystallize their disapproval of the government in an eleventh hour fight, which, if they do not win will at least show the rest of Canada what they think of the Mackenzie King government. Of course, the government that has taken such an unfair advantage will move heaven and earth and spend tlfe people's money to retain the sent, but therejviil bs some satis- faction ln shaking, if not overturn- ing it.
