Number of Senators.

(Frdm Our Own Reporter)
OTTAWA. April 10.-Sir Robert
Borden_ia_the Commons Saturday on
behalf of the Government accepted
the amendments made by the Seville
to the resolution praying that an ad-
dress be sent to the King providing
for andncrease in the representation
of the Upper House in Western Can-
ada and that the representatioll ot' li
province in the Commons shall never
be less than the number of senators
to which it is entitled. This means
that Prince Edward Island will now
get four representatives.
'Sir Robert in the course oi' ll. short
speech said that the senate amend-
ment was practically the some as the
one of last year and which had not
been accepted by the Government. The
only difference was that it did not
'refer to the representation of the pro-
vinces in the Lower House. He re-
gretted tbe attitude of the Upper
House, remarking that it had again
insisted on passing this amendment
for reasons which were quite obvious.
While he had not changed his opinion
he was disposed on this occasion, in
view of the necessity of getting this
legislation passed, to accept the
amendment and he accordingly moved
flbat it be concurred in.
Hon. Robert Rogers said that never
in the history ofthe Canadian Parlia-
ment have the representatives of the
people been faced with a more humi-
liating condition. Although elected to
represent the people, he said, we are
not allowed to carry out a democratic
form of Government as provided for
by tho constitution, which has been
set at defiance. The statement that
the Senate and House of Commons in-
creases should coincide hc said was
not according to the law. The Gov-
crnor-General, ho says, has rl rigllt to
say who shall be named as senators
ami when the appointment shall take
place. The amendment to this mea-
sure has been madc by the Senate
simply with the idea. of helping the
Liberals. Mr. Rogers then proceeded
to charge the Opposition with bad
faith. At the last regular session of
Parliament he said the Liberals had
promised that if a reasonable redis-
tribution bill were passed they would
not oppose on increase in the Senate
representation for the West. The re-
distribution hill was of a kind in re-
gard to which the Opposition could
make no complaint. The Opposition
had failed to keep this agreement-. Mr.
Rogers declared that Sir Wilfrid Lau-
rier was more autocratic than the
Kaiser. in closing he stated that
wherever one goes the cry comes in
tones louder than thunder that Parlia-
ment should dissolve in order that the
people could put an end to the present
condition of affairs.

Large audiences attended all the
services yesterday. The church was
beautifully decorated with potted
plants. and the music was a very
special feature. Last night the pastor,
Rev. Mr Whiteliearl, preached on the
subject: “ What is Wrong with Chur-
lottetown Churches?" He said, in
part: This question can be answered
with one word, “Worldliness." Church
members are too neglectful of their
duty and arc continually allowing the
things of'the world to keep them from
the House of God.
There are some places where the
spiritual germ cannot live. Men and
women may go into questionable
places and engage in questionable
things as Christian men and women.
but sooner or later, if they continue
in this poisonous atmosphere, the
germ of spiritual life will be destroyed.
The Cllrlstian life is one ot’ warfare,
wc "wrestle against principallties and
powers. against the rulers of darkness
of this world. against spiritual wicked-

He wished to indicate the danger they
were in in putting through any re
striction that had not the full accord
and approval of that House. Rather
than allow such a difficulty to arise he
would be prepared to let the clause
stand over to give the leader ol the
Opposition an opportunity ni’ reconsill~
ering his position.
Mr RICHARDS said he had merely
offered his individual opinion. As
far as he could see the proposed
amendment would strengthen the Act.
He was willing to admit that thc Mag-
istrates were the best judges of what
was necessary for the successful ell-
forcement of the law. In offering his
opinion he wished to state that he was
not opposed to the amendment, but
merely wished to suggest that there
were difficulties which even this am-
endment would not remove. He re-
cognized tllat it was not good to have
divided opinion upon such a. point. and
he wished it to be understood that he
was not opposed to the amendment.
Mr A. P. PROWSE said the only way
was to adopt the recommendation of
the Magistrates who had a great deal
of experience in eudeavoring to suc-
cessfully operate the law.” These of-
ficials had been naked their advice
und that and other clauses in the
amendments were the result. He

FRIDAY, April 9, 1915.
When the House resumed at 8 p.
m. the Premier moved the second read-
ing of the Bill "An Act to further
amend An Act to Consolidate and
amend the various Acts relating to the
prohibition of intoxicating liquors;"
and the House in committee, Mr. Fee-
han in the chair, considered it clause
by clause.
THE PREMIER said that the am-
endments that were now before the
committee were amendments that llnd
been recommended by the Stipendinry
Magistrates and prosecutors. The Stl-
pendiary Magistrates had pointed out
that one of the greatest difficulties
they had to deal with was in regard
to beer, that it was made a cloak for
all kinds of invasions of the Act. and
that were it not for the protection af-
forded hy the "3 per cent,” in many
parts of the country there would be no
trouble in absolutely wiping out the
last remnants of offences against the
Act. There was one matter that they
would have to consider before they
finally disposed of the Bill and that
was that under the law as it existed
quantities of beer below 3'pcr cent.
might have been bought and paid for
or contracted for so as to
continue an obligation. Those
people who had bought in that way
and put in stock without any intention
of breaking but abiding by the law,
it would be proper for the Committee
to determine whether or not there
should be some provision made so as
to suspend operation of the clause or
in some other way to avoid doing all
injustice to any who had honestly con-
tracted llabllltles. He put this for-
ward as a proposal that the Committee
would be able to take fully into ac-
count.
HON. MR. ARSENAULT thought.
with the Premier, that some measure
should be adopted whereby those who
had beer in stock under li per cent. or
who had contracted for supplies.
should be secured against any injus-
tice by the amendments. He knew of
u. case in which a man had a lot. of
beer below 3 per cent., alld it would be
a hardship if it had to be left on ills
hands without any means of disposing
of it. When the Prohibition Act was
ou ht into force the eo lc who had

off the other. He considered there
was sufficient tempcrnnce opinion to
throw aside party allegiance so far as
making effective the operation of the
Prohibition Act. and he did not think
anything was to be gained by expres-
sing doubt or suggesting difficulties
when they were acting upon the best
advice that could be given them.
They also wanted to he fair and just
alld hc thought it right that compensa-
tion of some kind should be given to
those who had in stock for sale quan-
tities of the beer which it was now
intended to make illegal.
l_VIr J. A. DEWAR said he would be
quite willing to take the opinion of the
stipendiary magistrates on this sllb-
ject. They were the people who were
up against the difficulties to be en-
countered and he felt the Legislature
was secure in following their advice.
In the matter of compensation they
would have to be fair and just.
it would be all arbitrary not nn their
part to make the sale of three per
cent. illegal without giving tile retail-
ers all Ovnorlunlty of getting rid of
