The Sydney Post (Conser- enii-‘S of mer? flmily <1UHl'i‘¢1~‘i P01 vative) sees the result as -a Pyrrhic ically-spciikiill In LHMYY- whim victory for thc Prohibition forces in hopeless territory for Libvfelim c o . that the "dry" majority was th smallest ever recorded in the Island TNOHIDSOH. 15 11161118 W0 0Dll°H since the question first became a pub- lic issue. “Considering the intensive cam- paign conducted for prohibition and the entire absence of any Gov- ernment Control organization," says .the Post. “the relative closeness of the result ca/not but Le regarded ls significant of a. striking popu- lar reaction against the existing law, which, ten years ago. had the yupport of eighty per cent of the electors who then recorded their votes.” The Glace Bay Gazette (Liberal) is Xrankly sceptical of the result as de- gisiva of anything: "The plehiscite," it says, "leaves matters exactly where they were. It was hoped on the one hand that tht people would decide to fall in line with the upper and western provinfes of the Dominion and give Government, Control a trial; und on the other it was felt that a more pronounced expression of op- inion in favor of the existing dry law would strengthen the hands of the Government in its efforts to give it more edective enforcement. Neither object has been achieved by the result." The Acadian Recorder (Liberal) contents itself with quoting the views of the chsricttetcwn prcss. The Hsi- C lfax papers are shy of editorial com- ment ons way or the other. The Herald (Conservative) confined itself to covering the news of the prohibi- tion campaign and election returns, while the Chronicle (Liberal) sent B. special writer here to size up the sit- uation. The conclusion of the Chron- icle man was that the dry campaign- ers, despite strenuous efforts, failed in their object to secure a telling ver- dict, and that they would have to *change their act" if they hoped to Lanctot, the Liberal candidate Vin- cent Dupuls. was elected by scclnm- ation.

As a rule, by-elections in Can- ada. go with the Government, though this rule has not been much in evi- ea- ink ar- it- is the A. ents who belong to his own party, and who have taken the field fnprotut against the manner in which the nominating convention was called md conducted.

The records of these five rldings in 1928 show the following majorities for the respect- ive perties: Frontenac-Addington. dence in the past two and a. half create any popular enthusiasm in years. In these five constituencies both sides are merely holding their Nova Scotia. ' In the Forum columns of the Chronicle the fight over the Nova Scotia plebiscite has begun, and the Island "victory” is being discussed pro Ind con. F. H. Bell, replying to a prohibition correspondent. suggests that people are becoming indifferent lo the situation, not because the law is in any way efficient, but for a lompletely contrary reason. ‘ "The plehiscite in Prince Piiward Island," he says, ‘where apparent- ly less than 50 pei cent of the el- ectorate thought it worth while to go to the polls, is thc best proof of this. People no longer are keen to have the law repealed because it no longer is operative." "No doubt," continues Mr. Bell, “the result of the plehiscite in Prince Edward Island will be hnil- ed as a wonderful triumph. The people of the Island will smile and go on just as they have been do- ing, which, from what I hear, is so near the open and unrestricted sale of all kinds of liquor as to be almost indistinguishable from it." In other provinces press comment in the Island plebiscite is less in evi- dence. The Montreal Gazette pol- itely supposes the vote to mean that prohibition enforcement is meeting with more success on the Ieland"thsn would be possible in the other prov- inces.” The Toronto Globe. -ei strong l>l'°\\ibitiou organ. commends the vot- °" "_!_°f dieiinins. minhsbiy. to in- 0Wl'l. QUITE SO. The Review of Reviews, it United States publication, says "there is no public man anywhere who is more highly esteemed at Washbgton than Mr. King, the Canadian Premier." "This is all very nice' of course, fm' Mi'~ Kimi.” comments the Moncton Times; “but as the head of the Government in Canada he might well run the risk of being less highly esteemed in the United States by legislating in the inter- ests of the people of this Domin- ion. Canadc is the co ntry in which Mr. King should st;1ve to be most popular." EDITORIAL NOTES Last evening's band concert on Queen Square was n reminder of the time when public concerts were given twice weekly throughout the sum- mer. Let's hope'tlie'band-stand will be kept in use during the remainder of the present season. One doesn't indignantly bowl out s guest who spills tes on the tablo- cloth, says the Hamilton Spectator. which adds that neither does a hos- pitable city prosecute visiting motor- ists who innocently fracture minor 100% the disturbing element of boom into their life for any iilusivo com-` pensltion."'_ The Mail and Empfref on the other hand, suggests that the Ieiewierl. being in s position to sci. plenty of smuggled liquor at lower prices than if purchased through Government stores, are content to suck to s law which is prohibitcry in name only. . w IIVI Bl-ELECTIONS | .~!1._- , .-..', -'__ l 9 There were nominations for by- ollctlonl this woekinflve Rdenl ciunesin .mais previous fierkv llkiillioe.

Notes By The Way, The restoration of the Hebrew peo- ple and their re-establishment as a muon in the homeland or their sn- oelbotn has been I. hope cherished for ages past. The same hope has spread widely among Christian peo- ples. The conquest of Palestine by a British Army, and the British man- date over the some which followed the conquest, led many to think that fulfilment of ancient prophecies re- levant thereto might now be-near at hand. It is true that the Zionist move- mcnfhu led to L migration of Jews from many puts of the world to the Holy Land, but its volume has not been large. It comes far short of a majority of the present population. An official statement shows that the population of Palestine in 1919 was made up of 51,900 Jews and 643,100 other races. In 1927 there were in the country 148,100 Jews and 752,400 non-Jews. What is of equal importance in utimuting the future is the fact that the natural increase by propagation among the non-Jewish peoples in Pa- lestine is 30 per 1,000 among the Ar- abs and other foreign tribes, against 24 per 1,000 among the Jews. This does not support the present impres- sion of early Jewish dominance in their own land under free institu- tions. The price of bread has been ad- vanced in Ontario, following the rise in wheat. It is explained in The Globe to mean that “the house wife will pay 8 cents for the 12-ounce loaf for which she formerly paid 7 cents, while the 24-ounce loaf, which for- merly sold for 10 cents, will cost 11 cents. This statement may not be quite intelligible to Maritime read- ers. I-low it is that in Ontario the house wife gets twice-as-large a loaf for 11 cents as she can get for 8 cents is the puzzle. That the birthrlfe in the United States fell off by one per cent last year, while the deathrate increased is announced from Washington. The total population of the Republic grows. by immigration, almost as rapidly as crime increases. In the Maritime Provinces of Canada there seems to be no doubt that the pro- hibitory law increased the exodus of our native people and hindered the coming of immigrant settlers who would otherwise have made their homes within our shores, Hay making has begun in Char- lottetown as well as throughout the country districts of the Province. A moderately large field north of Long- worth Avenue was cut on Wednesday afternoon, yielding an excellent crop ' of best quality. The United States Senate Commit- tee appointed to consider the Tariff Bill passed by the House of Repre- sentatives, have now the bill before them. The majority members of the committee will re-draft the bill, sit- ting within closed doors while they do so. About 14th August the new model of the bill is expected to be completed. Republican leaders are holding fre- quent conferences with President Hoover over the matter and rumors are without official confirmation. Our little Province is prosperous in many ways, but the exodus which has continued during a quarter of a cen- tury paet still goes on. The Bureau of Statistics estimates that during the past year our Province has lost. 200 people in addition to the entire natural increase among _the 88,000 who remain. _ ' Surely something might be done t0 check this serious drain and bring back the days when the number of our people increased from year t0 year. Something should be done, more than hu been dons or attempted. f»°- 'wsrd that end.
