A letter from the Peterborough Chamber of Commerce called at- lention to the fact that the twenty- flftb annual convention of Domin- |°!l Fire Chiefs would" be held in Pctsrborough on August 20, 30, 31 and Sept. 1, and expressed the hope ‘hit representatives from Charlotte- town would\attend.

B01111, Electrical Inspector, stated that there was some misunderstand- ing in the School Board. 0nd m" he had been requested by a com- Inittec not to enter the building ex- cept in company cf members of‘ the ure. Councillor Hennessey pointed Street Repairs Councillor Reardon for the Street Committee reported that work had W!!! bflsun repairing the streets. The repairs would be completed by the‘ end cf the week. Councillor Whear asked the City Clerk to write the School Board to find out the quantity, kind, and price of coal being purchased by the Board. ' Councillor Henneasey remanked that the report of the police activi- ties contained no reference to rob- beries in the city. Councillor Hol- man read a 1st of robberies in which, convictions had been secured since the first of thoyear. . The Chief of Police stated that during the last year the force had been lmdermaimed, and had been two men short. He thought that the force was doing very well in view of circumstances. At the present time there was a. great deal of un- employment in the city and condi- tlons were very trying. During Aug- ust only three breaks had been re- ported. a A sharp cross-fire between the Chief of Police and Councillor Hen- nessey ensued. The latter asserted that the police were asleep, that cars were driving around without lights. and that the Chief was to blame. 'I'ha.Chief twisted that order had been never better maintained, and that Charlottetown was s. remark- ably law abiding community. Light Committee Councillor Holman for the Light Committee reported that so far as Council and Light Committee were concerned, the new rate for electric power had not been received or ap- proved. He understood that the Maritime Electric Company had five new rates. ‘The Public Utility Board had accepted the new rate. l-le un- derstood that the new rate was an interim rate, to be effective while the Maritime Electric Company was being investigated by experts. Citi- zens had received their bills for July from the Company, and from rc- pofl-s received, and bills shown one would come to the conclusion that instead of there being a reduction of $0,000, there had been an increase of $00,000. A few persons had been found who had benefited, but in most cases the bill of the small con- sumer had been increased. All that could bo done by the Council was to request from the Government a speedy investigation. The Govem- ment had instructed the Public Util- ities Board to proceed with a thor- ough investigation at the earliest possible moment. The Company had foolishly changed the rate. As regards the 10% discount, the matter had been approved by the Board. Ten per cent had been simply added to the bill and then taken off again, if the bill were paid before the tenth of the month. The rate had been fylsd. and accepted by the Public Utilities Board. The Council could only urge n complete and thorough investiga- tion. The Government and individ- ual citizens had Joined as complaint- ants. A two hour meeting had been held during the day with the Gov- ernment, and Councillor Holman had every hope that the investiga- tion would be held in the near fut.- pended. bili received by the city had been sent out from the Associated 01s and Electric Oomblni- and since that time the name on the form had been the Maritime Ilsctric Com- pany. g Councillor Holman stated that J. P. Morgan controlled the whole cut- fit. The Acting Premier was doing all possible to bring the matter to a successful issue, he stated. Councillor Wbcar attuned the im- portance of being prepared in dsal- ing with the question. There were difficulties in the case. Some new arrangement would have to be made after Sept. l7. A classification of rates which nobody . could under- stand had been made after an in- vestigatlon had been asked for. The Public Utility Board had approved of the rates, but had not set a date for the investigation. Councillor Kennedy stated that certain technicalities would have to be ironed out before the Board would act. The Utility Board had been in existence for six years and had done nothing. Resolutions were passed calling for tenders for polloelnenc uniforms and appointing Messrs. Sixtus Mc- Lellan and Alex MacDonald as mem- bers of the Appeal Board. Resolu- tions were also passed authorizing the issuance of $7,000 in debentures for street repairs, and of $13,000 in debentures for direct relief.

Urges Return To First Principles At Grand Division, S. of '1'. Meeting The quarterly-session of the Sons of Temperance, Grand Division, met at Cherry Hill on Wednesday, Aug- ust Oth, with 30 members present. G. W. P. Rev. A. F. Baker opened the meeting at 2.30 p. rn. and after the opening ceremony the following Committees were appointed to look after the business of the afternoon and evening meetings. Resolutions: Bros. Geddle Doug- las, B. L. Coombs and J. A. Jardixie. Credentials and Returns: Sisters Mrs. S. Campbell. Carrie Burrows and Bro. Watkins. Enrollment: Sisters Ernestine Marchbank and Sister Coffin. Finance: Bros. Geo. Warren, J. A. Jardine and Sister Mrs. Bowman. Report of Resolutions Committee: 1. Resolved that this Grand Divis- ion extend their thanks and Ip- prcclation to Cherry Hill Division for their splendid reception and hos- pitality at this quarterly meeting. 2. Resolved that the members of this Grand Division place on record their appreciation to the Grand Worthy Patriarch and Grand Scribe for their splendid efforts and work put forth in the last quarter. 3. Whereas most of the other pro- hibition countries have repealed their prohibition laws. And Whereas, our province stands almost alone. Yet, we as members of this Grand Division still feel that our present law is superior to any other temperance law known. Therefore Resolved that; all n-lem- bcrs of our Order put forth every effort to maintain and enforce our present law. 4. Resolved that the members of Ontario. Thus it u evident that the attack T is already on. How, where, and by whom engineered we are left to guess, but it is on. Uruess of course. this is just another of the many infamous untruths scattered about by the liquor interests. Iluwever, this has sufficient of the smell of brim- stone to suggest that it 1s thetruth this time. We hope it is not true. But, whet- her true or not at this present time, we may work with the certainty that we are forelaying for an attack in the not distant future. Now, of course, for us the holding of our present prohlbltory law is not, the para-mount question. we have a desire to hold it mostly be-I cause it gives us the best possible‘ background and. support for our work in securing individual pledged total abstainers. Under any other system our wonk would be confron- ted with infinitely greater difflcul-i tics and dlscouragements. Conae-' qnuently it is part of our task to unite with all other temperance forces to hold the law. But remember, Sons of Temper- ance, our first principle is "total abstinence for the individual." Our primary task is to secure the attit- ude of total abstinence towards the use of alcoholic beverages on the part of as many people as possible. We could in no way better serve our province, or society at large. 1t ls this that this Grand Divis- ion has in mind when it offers the Banner of this Grand Division to the Subordinate Division enrolling the most members of the Order, and pledged total abstalners outside the Order, during the current year. The fact that we are more “1onely" than ever today in the dry column ought to be an incentive to do more faith- f fully the primary task of our Order and win men and women to total abstinence. It is to be hoped that even more interest will be taken during this closing quarter of our year, in this contest, and thus in our vital task. Individual Responsibility For the encouragement of our Grand Division realizing the im- portance of having all temperance forces consolidated, urge all mem- bers who can to attend the Temper- ance Federation of Prince Edward Island annual meeting and support I it. The evening meeting opened at 8 o'clock in the form of a. public meet- ing with a large attendance pres- ent. An exceptionally inspiring program was rendered as follows‘: Chorus, Cherry Hill "Division; Re- marks, by Chairman, Rev. A. F.

Address Officers and members of Grand Division, visiting officers and mam- bers of subordinate divisions, of the Sons of Temperance. When about a year and nine months ago I accepted from this court of our Order the honor and the responsibility of the office of Grand Worthy Patriarch, I had the feeling that Prince Edward Island was one of a glorious trio standing in defence of the principle of pro- hibition as the only reasonable way of dealing with the liquor irofflc. We could stretch out. one hand to the United States on the West, and the other to Finland on the East, and feel sense of comfort and dc- fence in being in the ccutcr. Today that sense of defence and comfort. and support 1s no longer possible. We stand alone. In the language of the milltarist "both wings have been rolled back," and worse. Finland has returned to tho "wet" column. And it is not neces- sary for one to be a prophet in or- der to say with truth, the United States has followed suit. The re- peal of the 18th amendment to the Constitution of the United States seems but a matter of the formality of voting on the part of the neces- sary number of states. The prob- abilities are that when the voting has been completed we shall find that Prince Edward Island will have as its companions in the prohibition field only a. small number of States of the union, if any. That fact must serve to give our Order in this province serious thought. What of the future of the prohibitory law in this province? Does anyone doubt that it. will be attacked by the minions of the brewers and the dlstlllers? surely not. As we reported last session, the "wets" of Ontario say, prohbliioti has been "discredited and abandon- ed in every country and province on the American continent except Prince Edward Island, and, even there, steps are under way to pre- i110 ground upon which we have taken ‘ and in England the forces of tem- Jlmhw victory. When there are none ‘fit in the business there will be members we would point out that the temperance battle has lately mung, in very definite fashion, to ~ our stand-that of the attitude of the individual in his own private habits, towards the use of alcoholic beverages. Both on this continent. perance are seeing that it is upon 1111s plane that we shall gain the ul- Lo-clrink, there will be no profit in selling. And when there is no pro- none to run it. But so long as there is profit in it there will be found in every community some moral pau- per who will be willing to sacrifice everything else for what he can make in this business, Consequently, in the future, less stress will be laid upon prohibition laws, and more stress upon total ab- stinence by thclndividual. Not that we will totally neglect the one for the other, but. we will return to put- ting first things first. We have had enough of experience with men. and women who vote dry and act wet. That foundation has given way be- heath our building. We are going to lay a foundation now that will stand. ‘That is the avowed policy and the future task of temperance forces in the light of recent events in the battle. Again I point out to you that with our ninety-one years of experience in this work, there is no organiza- tion or group of temperance work- ers, more fitted for the task of lead- ership than the Sons of Temper- ance. But never mind thinking of the honor of the possibility. or abil- lty, io load. Get down to service with every ounce of strength and ev- ery degree of enthusiasm that you possess. 1t is for such a clay as this that this Order has been called in- to being. It is ours now to justify our existence. If we are not willing to attempt that, then let's call in the undertaker and have a decent burial. '.l‘he interests of oll our leaders ought to be centered upon the 01145- tion of, what will assist us in tho task of securing an attitude of total 1 abstinence on the part of the largest number of individuals. If you can set n. trawl, then hand line work be- comes unprofitable in comparison. Hand-line work will always be ne- cessary, and by some, particularly fitted by temperament and disposi- tion for the task, it is made very ef- fectual. Hovccver, there are methods cf influencing people in the mass that ought lo be pursued. In this connection the publicity work, so effectively and so ably car- ried on by our brother, the Rev. J. W. A. Nicholson, M.A., of North Bedequc, and of Excelsior Division. in the name of, and behalf of this Grand Division, is making a valu- able contribution. An attitude of public mind and conscience will yield an abundant harvest cf in- s-_ PAGE THREE ter headed ‘ A nos Education uAlamna..--...l..a..nea... summifls] BE the name of H. S.

JOHN WONNACOTT One of the oldest and most high- 1y respectcd citizens, Mr. John Wonnacott, passed away in Char- lottetown at an early hour yester- day morning at the advanced age of 95 years. Mr. Wonnacott had been up and around Sunday, so that his sudden death came as a. shook to relatives and friends. He formerly conducted a boot and shoe business on Queen Street, but retired many years ago. In his younger days he was o prominent member of tho firo bri- gade and captain of the Sflsby Bose Co. ‘There are left to mourn one son. Harry, in St. John, and three daughters, Mrs. Huestis of Mone- ton, Mrs. Harry Barr of Charlotte- town, and Mrs. L. Weatherbis of Winnipeg, The latc John Wonnacott was a Son. cod the late Mrs. S. A. Mao- Donald a daughter of the deceased . He will be laid to rest in thf‘ People's ' Cemetery this aftornoon. the funeral service to start at I p.m. From Japan there comes c. report of a. method of "trawl fishing" for total abstainers, that imprcues on! with its possibilities. In one of thl prefectures a number of young wo- men have pledged themselves not to marry any man who drinks alcoholic liquors. , Lf this sort of movement were started here it ought to win ini- mediate enthusiastic support. Surc- ly no young woman of ordinary common intelligence would know lngly marry into a family afflicts‘ with mental infirmities, or with o history of T. B. for generations Yet, it is all too true today that young women look leniently upon the alcohol habit. And that despite the fact that the experience for can- turles, clearly set forth in modern temperance information, teaches that liquor has wrecked more homes, caused more unhappiness and mis- ery, made more orphans and wid- ows, than even war itself. The result in Japan has been that young men are bidding_ for wivel with such principle and character, by pledging themselves against the use cf alcoholic beverages. Whatever methods we use, let Ius see to it that we impress upon our people the fact that moderate drink- ing means moderate drunkenness; and the moderate drunkard-thc moderate ‘drinker - is the social menace today. Temperance in the use of alcohol, is total abstinence. The Grand Scribe will report the state of the Order, in our Jurisdic- tion, for the past quarter.
