NICE FAMILY PARTY

It is becoming more and more evident every day that the Saund- ers aggregation is determined to provide their own relatives while the going is good. We have already record- ed the fact that the Hon. B. W. LePage was in the forefront with a Job for his son-in-law in ‘the tax office. The Hon. J. P.

w . EDITORIAL NOTES

The statement made by The Guar-

police court reports. these the number of convictions for drunkenness in September, 1926, was 10. In September, 1927, when the Saunders Government had got fairly under way, the number of convic- tions for drunkenness was i8. And the downward pace was not confin- ed to drunkenness alone. Convic- tions for other causes, crimes of various kinds. in September, i926, numbe ed l2; in September. 1927, the number increased to 25. If we go on at this rate of increase we shall land somewhere.

According to

HE explanation given by the Pat-

riot for the increase of doctors‘ prescriptions for alcoholic purposes, namely, that a larger staff of offl- cials, "six inspectors and three spe- ciai Prohibition magistrates were to be appointed" (they have not yet been ligpblntCd) is, at least, ingeni- ous. Doubtless the increase of drink- ing through the increased issue of prescriptions will necessitate in- creased watchfulness. But the idea ts not original.
