As WN Perhaps to be expected

the turn-over of the Premier from be- ing an opponent of liquor license t0 becoming its advocate and defendcry has been followed, not only by his supporters in the House and largely by the provincial otlicials,bnt- by the party organs as well.First the Patriot, and now the Pioneer have become full-fledged license organs. The lat- ter devotes one of the long columns of its latest issue to a defence of the License Act and misrepresentation of Tn: GUaamasi.We pass by the misre- presentations. The large and steadily increasing circle of GUARDIAN readers are too intelligent to be deceived by what the license organs say!

But for one thing we will thank

the Pioneer, and that is its franknoss in stating the object of the license tax bill. It was not the promotion of temperance, as Mr. Farquharson and the Patriot have contended. The Pioneer says.:-

“'We fully admit that the object of

“the tax is to raise more revenue and “so endeavor to make ends meet.”

It is for a like purpose that the

It was for a like put pose that the

state of Louisiana for many years chartered and derived a yearly revenue of hundreds of thousands of dollars from the Louisiana state lottei y. The money so derived was Ilargely devoted tocharitable and .benevolent objects, hospitals, asylums and educational uses. And when the orginal charter had expired, long after the conscience of the Republic had .been aroused against the gigantic evil, when the promoters oiered a million dollars yearly for a renewall of the charter there were found preachers and churches who advocated the granting of a new charter I So -_corrupting is the influence of gold deriv, d from such an unhallowed source.

Why not license gambling? It is

a’most as prevalent as drinking even in English speaking countries. Bad as it is, it is probably less harmful than the liquor tranic to-day. Yet there is not to-day an Enilish speak-

either tax or license a gambling saloon. Prohibition is _the law for all such places and practices despite the fact that the law is constantly being

broken. - .

Think what respectability would be

given to gambling, and how much more influential for 'evil it would be- come were the Legislature to substi- tute the tax principle. Couple with it an inspector and pay his salary out of the tax. Hedge it about with re- r~»--i~°i~in.s as to hours and days, and sal. gambling would be tenfold the power for evil that itis under prohibi- tive laws. It would be legally re- spectable then; it is unlawful and dis- reputable now. _

But worst of all, the state that re-

ceives money as the price of permis- sion to sell liquor or to gamble finds it hard to part with the ill-gotten gains- That fact maintained the Louisiana a lottery long after the sentiment of the majority was ageing; .it. What is today the strong-hold of the liguor traffic against prohibi_ tion in the Dominion 'l It is the eight million dollars that the Dominion receives from the taxes on liquors and the thousands which the provinces and municipalities receive in license taxes.

This broid fact is felt by the meg

in the liquor trade and by temper- ance men alike. Once the stream of gold is flowing into the state treas- ury »rn the rumsellers’ coffers and it is hard to divert or renounce it, When hereafter prohibition or Scott Act is proposed for Charlottetown or the Province every dollar of M;-_ Farquharson’s license money will be a silver-tongued pleader on the side of ruin. The cry will be raised that we cannot do without this money.

For the deplorable lapse of the

legislative conscience by which this advantage is given to the liquor we cannot blame so much the lion. who were all along believers in _ani advocates of the license system Wehave to blame the men who,l¢d by Premier Farqnharson, were elected as ¥»em_p__srance and anti-license men, but
