It will be remembered that one of the
nection with the enforcement of prohibi-
tion was the fact that the law, before being
amended. permitted the sale of beer which
contained less than three per cent. of alco-_
hol. As the alcohol in all beers was the
principal attraction'vendors of this bever-
age naturally` went as near the percentage

Preinier iViathieson’s i'eply. We do not wish;
to be unfair to the Opposition they have
a difficult task to perform in their endea-
vour to find cainpaien material from the re-
cord oi’ the Go\‘ermneiit., but we do com-
miserate with them in the spectacle l\li'.'
licll has made of his party thi'ouf.;'hout the
leiig_>,'tli and breadth of the Province. Sure-
ly no Opposition Leader in thc liistoryof
the l.eg'islatin'c has left himeslf open to, or|
has received. such a deserved ti'ouncing'
from his political opponent as Mr. Bell re-.
ccivcd from Premier hlatliicsoii. In mea-
sured, calculated la|i_e'iia_e'c the Premiei'
took up each point \vhich Mr. Bell had’
sou_c'lu to make, and proved coiicliisively,
not onl_\' that Mr. Rell had no c'i'ouiiil for
his ;-.llc;i'ations but that he had.;_»'one out of.
his way to niaiiufacturc "facts" with which
to back them up. As the l’i'eniiei' put it.
.\ir. llcll "builds his rotten foundation and
lhcn crccts on that a fabric of slander and
_t'als<'lioo=l and \\'oiidci's wh\_' it shoiild fall."
No leader who attempts deliberately to mis-
lead his own people can possil_\l_v attain vic-
tory with honour. He may steal a chance
victory, make a tcmpoi'ai'y advance but
the moment he comes in contact with the
l"orccs of tratli '_irmcd and equipped with
solid fact and sabstaiitial arg'tinient, tli'.it|
and niisrepresentation fails hini and disas-
ter and dishonour are his just recompense.
Mr. _lflell inaugurated his leadership
with low-down, contemptible tactics. We
need hzirdly recall that, against the better
_iti<lg'incnt of many old-time Liberals, he
launclicd a disgraceful and entirely unwar-
ranted slander against the fair name of
Hon. James McNeill, (`.omniissioner`of Pub-
lic Work.-:_ The result was the biggest vic-
tory for the Go\'ei'nment ever recorded in
'Souris district. At the Special »War Ses-
sion last summer Mr. Bell predicted that
the people would rise against the war tax
and that voluntary contributions would be
killed. _ The very reverse has been the
case. l"roni every disti'ict reports show
that the _people-liave ‘paid their taxes more
rc;i<lil_\' and willingly than (ver bcf`f\i"i=. and
_c'a\'e as their explanation their desire to pay
the wai' tax. Far fi'oni cli'jfiiig' up the wells
of charity, the voluntary response to the Pa-
triotic Funds has been more generous than
ever before. Mr. Bell’s essays on prophecy
have thus proved lameiitable failures. As
Premier Mathieson put it, in order to inter-
pret Mi'. Bell, one must take his nieanin_f; to
bc the very reverse of what his words con-
vey. '
Now in the present session, at its very
opening, Mr. Bell has been proved to be a
totally unreliable critic, one whose state-
ments cannot be accepted without verifica-
tion. How possibly can the Opposition in
the House and the Liberals in the country
have faith or confidence in following' such
a leader? Surely the first essentials of lea-
dership are i'eliability, trustworthiness, the
placing of the public weal before the grati-
fication of personal animiis and petty am-
bition. lVir. Bell on three occasions has had
the opportunity of rising to the heights of,
statesmanship and has failed to respond tot
the test. We may now assume he is con-
st itutionally incompetent to do so, and that
opportunity will not knock at his door a
fourth time. f

Elsewhere on this issue we publish the
rcpo1't of the meeting of Prcsbytery held in+
Charlottetown on Tuesday last. In thc,
body of the report. there is a resolution on
thc temperance question which will be read
with mingled sympathy and surprise-l
sympathy with the great cause which this,
the executive of one of the largest religious
bodies in the province, is seriously endea-
vouring to promote, and surprise at the
criticism offered regarding “the law as re-
cently amended.” _
To quote from the resolution, Section|
4, “Resolved that we regret to discover
that, under the law as recently amended,

cribed three pei' cent of alcohol could be

i;'isti'a_te that in every case that came beforei
him for beei' seeli-ng a conviction was secui'-,
ed when proof was adduced that beei' was-
sold. There was no question as to ho\v
much alcohol it contained; if it was beer
and was sold the seller was convicted . The
result of this has been that today there is
n‘ot a beer shop in Charlottetownso far as
the authorities can find out. These are
facts i'egardin_e,' which the 1'evei'end gentle-
men who adopted this resolution must have
been misinformed. , -
_Another portion of the resolution, the
purport of which is somewhat vague, is the
conclusion of clause 3 which, after stating
that neglect of the enforcement rests large-
ly upon the officials and must “in tu1'n restl
upon the government-tliat has appointed
them and is responsible for seeing' that its_
officials do their duty whether these ofii-I
cials are acting directly under-them or ull-
dcr ai coinniissioii zippoiiitvil by ilicm."
ln anticipating' the duties of a commis-
sion or even the appointment of one, are
not these gentlemen a little “previous”?
Some time ago The Guardian suggested
that. as the temperance question had been.
made a political football of and as every;
amendment made by the government, even
at the instance of teinpe1'ance woi'kei's,
was being; politically criticized, the admin-
istration of the Prohibition Act be placed
in the hands of a commission, independent
of the e'overnment, independent of politics
and with a free hand to administei' the law,
as they saw fit. So far as we know this has
been the only i'efei'eiice publicly made to
the matter. It has been discussed privately
no doubt and very favourably by many sin-
cere friends of temperance, but the govern-
ment hasnot yet expressed any opinion as
to the advisability of such a course or whe-
ther it is the intention to appoint such a
commissio_n, The commission would cer-
tainlynot suit the purpose of those who
have been and are making' political capital
out of the enforcement oi' alleged -non-en-
forccment of the Act-and it may well be
suspected that the after thought in this re-
solution emanated, unconsciously to these
reverend gentlemen, from this source.
As to the “enforcement by oui' officials
   of the recent Dominion legisla-
tion which has hitherto been allowed to re-
main a dead letter,” it is only fair to state
that as “the recent Dominion legislation"
was enacted since the last session of our
provincial legislature there was no other
course open than to allow it to remain a
“dead letter” until legislative action could
be taken upon it. ,
. We feel assured that the members of
the Presbytery had in view the best inter-
ests of the province and of temperance in
passing this resolution. but it is to be re-
rgretted that before taking such 'action they
had not enouired more minutely into the ac-
curacy of the information upon which their
resolution was based.
