^1 ■ New Wellington Coal is the best ROGERS & BUCK Sole At'ents Prota VOLUME 1 Published Twice a Week WILL ENFORCE LAW Aid. Mobley Says Bowser Act Will be Made Active Here. He Mas llvci-y Faith iii the License Statute Opposed to the Scott Act On Saturday evening there was a crowded gathering in .Mclntyre Hall at the meeting held in opposition to the Scott Act. The speakers for the evening were Mr. Blakemore, Thos. Dunn and Dr. Clayton, who all dealt with different phases of the question. Dr. Mclntyre presided and in opening the meeting referred to the new role he appeared in as referee from that of the evening before. He laid stress upon the pleasure it gave him to have both parties represented and all on such good terms. Thomas Dunn, the first speaker, said he had been disappointed the night before as he came to hear some thing new in favor of the Scott Act. He had expected to hear Dr. Spencer j but although Dr. Spencer was present and had been invited to speak, he had not the common courtesy to accept it. Dr Spencer the man who more than anyone else perhaps was responsible for this vote being brought on, should appear and state his reasons for it. It was a sign of weakness. Residents of this country did not require men from Fargo and Grand Forks to come here to tell them what they should do. The Scott Act was rotten to the core. Why should the vote be taken on such n list. Tlic< vote was brought on on a petition signed by only 125 people, representing one-quarter of wished a ruling on the point from the chairman. Dr. Mclntyre did not think that Dr. Clayton had transgressed the general rules of debate. His time was nearly up, however. Dr. Clayton, proceeding, said that it seemed to him there was a determined attempt that this campaign was to be run by newcomers. He did not know the person who objected but he bore all the ear-marks of "a tenderfoot." He had no quarrel with the minister taking the platform, but he did object to any one taking the stand that he had a heaven born right to dictate as to how people should vote. Mr. Blakemore dealt with the provincial liquor act. The act applied to the whole province. The first part of It did not apply to incorporated parts but the provisions of it could all be made applicable to the municipalities if these so desired. The act wasp repared by strong temperance men and found commendation not only in the province but elsewhere. It had had the commendation of Dr. Spencer. No hotel license in any part could be granted unless there (Continued on Page Five) o FIRST CONt ERT NINTH AVENUE ROADJCLOSING CAMPAIGN RED CLIFF SHOWS WELL Tenders Received for the Work by the Council is Referred to Committee. Prici 9 Submitted at Planking Will be Out Which Carried Ihe Prince Rupert Choral Society Will Put on Entertainment On Thursday evening the Prince Rupert Choral Society will give its first concert, the proceeds to be devoted towards the hospital fund. The society which is under the presidency of liis-. Worship the Mayor, with Wil- '.. Ham Manson, M.P.P., Judge Young, Bishop Du Vernet,'and .Major Gibson as vice presidents, is doing much to cultivate a love of high class music in Ihe communitq. There are about 35 members of the society and during the three months since it was those entitled to vote The vote was i organizea very frequent rehearsals to be taken on a list in which but | have be£m hel(J B0 tltat tne ooncert on about GOO votes would be cast. Under this 30} votes would decide the matter. If tho municipal list of about 2,100 wore used It would not be so bad. Why did Dr. Spencer and Mr. Farls not begin at home? Why did they not try it in Victoria and Vancouver? You had to have a strong majority if tl;e act w:'s to be enforced. How was an act to bo enforced on a vote of 301 in a population of 5,000? There was a good license law. All It required wns the police commissioners nnd the police to enforce it. If (hoy did not do It, new ones would be elected. He knew one man who sold 5,000 barrels of liquor to blind pigs. The laws could be enforced. 'If he were .a police commissioner these license holders would disobey the law bul once and t.hej would lose their licenses. In Vancouver they were enforcing the law. They licensed not only the houses but the bartenders must be licensed also. If I these laws were enforced they would have no need for the Scot! Act or any prohibitory law. Dr. Clayton said he did not come as one who espoused the cause of the liquor traffic as conducted in Prince Rupert today. He was not a total abstainer. He was a temperance man. He was opposed to the Canada Temperance Act that was trying to be foisted upon the people. He felt that this question had been wrongly introduced. He did not. believe they had any need to go outside of Prince Rupert to get those who should deal with this subject. This applied to Mr. Blakemore as well as Dr. Spencer. He could understand how Mr. Blakemore was brought In after It was found Dr. Spencer was coming. He believed that the people thought the present liquor licensj law a good one, but It needed enforcement. Other parts of the province were getting along very well nn. der the present act without the introduction of the Scott Act. He was opposed to the present existing state of things In Prince Rupert. They were going to exact from the next council that the law was enforced to the letter. He could not understand why Dr. Mclntyre, a man of standing In the city, who had Invested here, should be criticised for what he said by Rev. Mr. Kerr. The latter had only been here two months and he could not see that It was very becoming to criticise a resident who had been ln the city as long as Dr. Mclntyre. Mr. Cowper, managing editor of the Optimist, rose to a point of order and stated that when he came to the meeting he understood that no personalities should be Indulged in. He e concert on Thursday evening should be a veritable treat. The society was fortunate in having for its conductor .1. E. Davey of ibis city, who has a thorough training in music. He is a pupil of Miss Leach, A.R.A.F., of Nottingham, nnd of William Foxon, A.R.A.F., of Sheffield. After a wide experience in the old land, where he conducted cliornses, Mr. Davey lias had experience as a leader of choruses in various parts of British Columbia, and as a teacher. Miss Froud, A.L.C.M., -who lias a very wide reputation as a pianist, is the accompanist and will lake a prominent part in-the programme. The proceeds of this first, concerl are to be to a very laudable fund, ! that in aid of the local hospital. The concert has, therefore, strong demands upon the public both from its merit and on account of the direction in which the funds are to be applied. Later the society will give concerts to assist, in the work of the organization. At present the hall of the Anglican church has been given Ihem for practices, but It will be necessary to secure a piano and a permanent place for practice. On Thursday evening the following will take part in the entertainment: Miss Holtby, soprano; J. E. Davey, tenor; W. H. Melliar, baritone; male voice quartette consisting of Messrs. Fletcher, Scott, Melliar and Frond; solo piano, Miss Froud, A.L.C.M.; selection, Gray's Orchestra, and elocutionist, Mr. Ellis. The Empress theatre should be crowded on the occasion. .—o PACIFIC SHIPPING Speaking at Vancouver of the possibilities of trade on the Pacific coast, D. D. Mann of the Canadian Northern, gave expression to his views on the subject of freight which has an important bearing upon Prince Rupert's future. He was not speaking of this port, but of Port Mann, but the words he used with respect to tnat port apply even more forcibly to this harbor. He said: "With the completion of the Panama Canal It seems to me that a considerable portion of the export grain fsom the prairies will seek an outlet by way of the Pacific Coast. It may not be generally known that Port Mann is nearer to every corner of Alberta than Is Port Arthur, the great wheat shipping port at the head of the Great Lakes." The same Is true of Prince Rupert and with the advantages which the G T.P. is to possess In point of equipment and In gradients, the harbor at this point should become indeed a busy place. At the council meeting last evening tenders were opened for the construction of the Ninth avenue roadway with the necessary excavation in connection with it. These were referred to the streets committee for report. ihe tenders received were as follows:— Sam Anderson—Rock, $1.50 a yard; earth, $1; 16 foot plank roadway, 3%c; hand railing, 4c. J. G.

The opponents of the act will meet in the Empress Theatre, when Mr. Blakemore will be heard for the last time. Aid. Pattullo and Aid. Hilditch will also deliver addresses. The supporters of the Scott Act will meet in the Majestic theatre. Two meetings were held last evening in connection with the Scott Act campaign. One was held under the auspices of the opponents of the act in the Empress theatre. A second meeting was in support of the Scott Act and was held in the Majestic theatre. Both places were crowded. In the Empress theatre W. S. Benson presided, to. Blakemore dealt with the points raised by Dr. Spencer and also with some other aspects of the question dealing with them in an able way. A systematic attempt al confusing the speakers seemed to be attempted from the. audience and a number of questions were asked. Air. Blakemore dealt with these as they came up and in a happy way answered all the questions. The other speakers were Dr. Mclntyre and Mr. Morrisey, who scored 1 many points. At the Majestic theatre Dr. Kergin presided, while short speeches were delivered by Rev. F. to. Kerr, Mr. Farls, A. to. McLean, W, R. Mor- ison and Rev, Dr. 'McLeod. All the speakers were given a very attenthe hearing and were all strongly favorable to the Scott Acl passing. Manaa 'incut i Results Well Satisfied With 11 New Tunnel The first samples of copper ore broughl down from the new strike In the face of the 1,40,0-foot tunnel on the Red Cliffe lias reached Stewarl and a considerable Quantity is being assayed. "When I lefl tiie mine we bad four feel of chalcopyrite in the lace of the tunnel and it showed every Indication of widening out," said Superintendent E. I!. Webster to the Portland Canal Miner. "We havt been traversing through a mineralized zone a distance of ISO feet, liming first encountered iron pyrite U'211 feet In. In places we rut through stringers of copper, but now we have a solid face of ore which I firmly believe is a continuation of the same ore body disclosed in the upper workings." Asked regarding the proposed upraise to connect with the Xo. 1 tunnel, he said that a continuation of the main tunnel to develop the new find would be flrst undertaken, but eventually the raise would be made. There are now 4 5 men on the property. The samples exhibited by Mr. Webster show a very heavy mineralization of coper, both of solid chalcopyrite and a very line grained copper pyrite mixed with iron pyrite. The ore closely resembles that taken out in the upper workings where the values ran some $lu In gold and copper 111 the ton, rhere being very little quartz. licensFSahS5n New Bylaw of City Will Likely Contain Such a Provision. \ ndlng Measure is Sow Before Council For Regulating the Traffic NEW ZEALAND TRADE Australian Government is Opposed to Including Sister Colony in Service.

In addition to that provision is made to license bar-tenders and only such as have licenses will be allowed to sell liquor, ln this way it is hoped to exercise more direct influence over the men who actually soil intoxicants and make them more careful on penalty of losing their licenses. When that section came up last evening it was provided that the license should be $5 each half year and that the bar-tenders should present a certificate from the chief of police of his fitness to serve.

Clarke, ex-president of the Alberta ft Great Waterways railway, Ihe Kansas City organization which had a charter and a bond guarantee for a railroad northwards from Edmonton into die unknown wilderness, has lodged a formal appeal at Ottawa against the confiscatory bill now before the Alberta legislature. He has also appealed to the authorities at Washington. The bill provides for the confiscation of some eight million dollars subscribed by Americans for the building of the railroad, the bonds having been guaranteed by the j Alberta government.

IN THE COUNTY COURT OF ATLIN HOLDEN AT PRINCE RUPERT Interesting Meeting Held in Mclntyre Hall on Friday Evening On Friday evening ln Mclntyre's Hall, the first meeting of the two opposing sections in the Scott Act campaign took place. The meeting was called by the opponents of the act, who invited the other side to be present, Mr. Parrls of Vancouver, and Rev. Mr. Kerr, of the Presbyter- Ian church, appeared as speakers in favor of the Scott Act, and with Dr. Mclntyre and W. Blakemore representing the opponents of the Scott Act, made up the speaking talent. Before the meeting closed, however, the unexpected developed, and Father Hartman and Rev. Mr. McLeod were heard on the subject of the Scott Act. A. Carss presided. The hall was crowded to the doors, many not gaining admission. Mr. Faris thought it would be a great advertisement for Prince Rupert to decide to close the bars. The liquor question had staggered many a man—who did not drink it. He took exception to the argument of Mr. Blakemore the evening before when he advocated the bar to train up the boys In self control. If the logical end was followed the bars would be wiped out for all would refuse to drink. They should expedite the work and wipe out the bar on Wednesday. From an economic standpoint he argued that the non-drinking man was the better off. The same rule applied to the community. He gave instances from his experience as to the result of prohibition. Grand stood as monuments as to the advantages of a prohibitory law, he said. It was not true that you had to have bars to have good hotels. Touching on the question of the enforcement of the law, the speaker said that in the Cnnad.i Temperance Act they had a law that was easily enforced. In-North Dakoti they had a similar act and it was well carried out. An enforcement commissioner was needed to do il 'le couid be appointed here and couid enforce the law. Why could they not enforce a law that the people demanded? If the people demanded the enforcement of the act it could be enforced. The brewers' association of Cincinnati stated that in North Dakota the sale of liquor fell off seventy pel cent. Dr. Mclntyre pleaded that he was net a debater. He had met quite a few North Dakota people in Palo Alto. He instanced a ease of a man coming to California to live because lie found thai for business reasons he couid not live in North Dakota. Palo Alto was a dry town. Berkley was not a dry town. Palo Alio, the home of Stanford university, j i 1 a delightful cllniiite, bi* it sro-i still. Berkley went ahead.

It was being amended and be felt the conditions could be Improved. If the temperance people would lend the same support to trying to see that the license law was carried out, results would be much better. Was it fair to condemn the license law before a chance had been given to try it? Had those who wanted the Scott Act been the true friends of temperance they would have asked to aid In the enforcement of the act. Referring to the letter of Dr. Spencer he denied that he ever did anything to hurt a minister. He had the deepest regard for religion, 'tnere are many temperance men who believed in a license law rather than prohibition. Dr. Mclntyre said he had lived for ten years under the Scott Act. A prominent stipendiary matistrate wrote that drinking had not diminished at the same rate as the population. He felt that for Prince Rupert it would be a disaster to introduce it. The population of the maritime provinces was falling off. Did they want the Scott Act Introduced here? He would advise every young man to leave liquor alone. It did no good. He advised against the Scott Act as It would mean blind pigs, gambling 'Continued on Psgc Four) IN THE MATTER of the estate of Charles Henry Gilroy, deceased intestate.

NELoON, EDITOR. Tuesday, December 13, 1910 Till', VOTE TOMORROW Tomorrow the electors of Prince Rupert will decide the question of whether they will for the next three years try the experiment of regulating the liquor traffic under the Canada Temperance Act, commonly known as the Scott Act, or whether they will proceed to regulate it under the Provincial Liquor Act, which, according to amendments to the city bylaw now being put through, the city council will bring the more stringent provisions of the Bowser Act into effect locally. During the past week or two the public has had first class opportunities to become informed on various aspects of the drink question. The question of deciding how Prince Rupert shall regulate the business is one for the electors now to decide. The electorate is divided and men of good judgment are taking very opposite views of the situation. It is the boast of our country that every man is entitled to his own opinion, and we deprecate any attempt to forbid each elector acting according to his best individual judgment. The Journal early in the campaign felt that on a question of such far reaching consequences to the city, it should do what it could according to its light to assist the public in reaching the best decision on the matter. We believe the defeat of the Scott Act is the wisest course for the city. The argument is being used in the present campaign that in the very early days of this city liquor was kept out effectively and that therefore it can be done again. The argument is not a fair one, we think. In thei early days when but a few people were here and when the number of steamers calling was more limited than, al present, the situation was very much easier to control. We do not want to take away any credit that belonged to Mr. Vickers as an efficient police officer, but his task was somewhat easier, it is fair to say, than that which falls to the authorities today should they be required to keep liquor out under the provisions Oi the Scott Act. Anyone upon reflection will readily understand that. It is true, also, that the Bowser Act has never been given a test here. Through the mistake of someone the Act was not adapted to the city as it could have been when the liquor bylaw of the city was prepared. The Liquor Act of this province recognizes the right of each municipality to a very wide discretion in the conduct of its own affairs, and it is left to the cities to say whether it wants as stringent regulation with respect fo liquor as tho unincorporated parts. The new bylaw now before the council will call for an observance of rules that should take away many of the abuses of the liquor traffic as they now exist. Under the conditions and taking into account the prevailing sentiment on the Pacific Coast, we do not believe it would be In the Interests of the development of a true temperance sentiment to bring the Scott Act into force here. Unless the manufacture of liquor is prohibited the matter of finding i satisfactory method of regulating it is a very difficult one indeed. Semi, prohibitory measures of an exceedingly local character have nol been ■i marked success. This would be ■ill the more true in a community like ■•h:ii found in Prince Rupert where the sentiment is nol very strong ttgalnsl file use of liquor. We do not advocate what is known i will,, open city, in spite of the arguments sometimes heard that that is the only way lo have a new city prosperous, we do not believe it. We believe the day lias passed for unrestrained drunkenness and for that very reason we waul lo see the new liquor law strictly enforced so thai while those who may see no harm in the moderate use of liquor may have an opportunity to so use ii. At tiie same time that law provides very effective means of dealing with the abuses of the traffic. From Ihe standpoint of those who favor prohibition tiie Bowser Act does not offer all thai they would want. The same Is true of the Scott Act. On paper the latter Act may look more In line with their view. In practice we believe It would be disappointing. Men who would not think of attempting to violate an ordinary statute would feel no compunctions about attempting to violate a law against the use if liquor. It is useless to argue that ;t should not be so. Conditions must be faced as they are. Prince Hupert now boasts a considerable population. It is a very cosmopoli- 'an people who have pitched their enls here. There will be a large influx of population in the next few years and many will be transients. To deal witli such a population will :ax the police authorities to the fullest. It will be a population that will make if an easy matter for such a law as the Scott Act to be rather 0] fiily violated. The police authorities would require to enlist the co- ,K-ration of men who would be obnoxious to them and to the decent element In Prince Rupert to effect convictions. If the law was not to be a dead letter a continuous campaign with objectionable types of de- lectives and with features connected with the courls in the way of perjury and kindred offences constantly coming before the public which would not be conducive to settled conditions nor calculated to promote the best type of public opinion. Under all the circumstances we believe the defeat of the Scott Act would be in the best public interest at this time. o A CORRECTION In the last issue of The Journal in an editorial referring to the visit of D'Arcy Tate, the solicitor of the G. T. P., we stated that Mr. Tate was coming on the invitation of the city council. When we wrote it we were under the impression that that was the situation. Mayor Stork has informed us that we were incorrect in that statement and that Mr. Tate was not invited by the council. We do not wish to wilfully misrepresent any one, and accordingly we take the first opportunity to put the position in its true light. At the same time His Worship has shown us a message dated December 1st in which the information is given him that Mr. Tate is coming. In view of the fact that this information was so given the point which we raised against the attempt to stir up feeling stands in the same light as it did even though an invitation might not have ben sent Mr. Tate to come. o BOTH SIDES HEARD (Continued from Page Three) dens, etc. Capitalists avoided a dry town. It seemed strange but it was true. Rev. W. F. Kerr said he had never heard of the city of Polly Wolly before. (Laughter.) Dr. Mclntyre had discovered that the sweep of prohibition and local option in the United States had been followed by an increase in crime. It seemed that Dr. Mclntyre had been inspired. He advised that Dr. Mclntyre be sent down through the United States to reveal what a fraud was being worked upon them. Quoting from Dr. Mclntyre's writing he pointed to the fact that he admitted that sobriety was increasing but he ascribed it to social and business reasons. Touching on the point that people were leaving the east the speaker received loud applause by asking in a genial way "Now Doctor, why did you leave it?" The speaker said that he had come to regard the Scott Act as one of the best prohibitory measures he had seen. The east was going strongly temperance. The Scott Act was not an extreme measure. It was a very temperate one. The law made drinking hard. The open har with its allurements was the great difficulty. If this law Is asked for by the people the municipality will have to enforce It. If there was a desire by the People for such a law why should the municipal representatives not enforce il? For an alderman to stand up and ask iin- council in enforce tho license law was a disgrace. Aid. Mclntyre said he did not say this, lie said they should come and 'Her their moral support, Mr. Kerr apologized for haiing misinterpreted this. Nexl year's council would not mater so much, because half of the year would bo under license. They would just have half a year to test it. There could never be in the city a blind pig regime. Mr. Bennett, the [■resilient of tiie league, said he wish- • il he could have every member iwear not to erst as long as a blind nig exlster in the city. He argued against the claim that >as put up that bars should exist in order to strengthen manhood, There • ere times when men could not resist these temptations and the open bar should be removed. W. Blakemore in taking up the ar- ■,omenta made by the previous speak ers, said that capital was afraid of dry cities, and in Prince Rupert investors had suspended the closing of deals until it was assured that the Scott Act would not be carried. The premiers of the maritime provinces were going to Ottawa to endeavor to get increased financial aid and to allow the continuance of the great bounties to the iron industries. While he did not contend that the Scott Act was not responsible for this falling off of business, but it was fair to say il had not prevented it. If the Scott Act carried any one wishing a drink would not find it possible to go to an open bar, but to a closed bar which was just as well known and more dangerous. The conditions in an old established city like Fargo were not the same as in Prince Rupert. What applied to Fargo would not apply to Prince Rupert. If the Scott Act. can be enforced it never has been enforced. It said little for the intelligence of the people of the maritime provinces and of Ontario, and little for the energy of the temperance people of these provinces if the act can be enforced. The act was so unfair in some of its provisions that he believed that the council of the city would not take the steps to enforce it. He could respect a community for wanting a local option law under certain conditions, but the Scott Act was in no wise such a law. Would there be such a change In conditions or in sentiment from what there was a few months before as to prevent the opening of blind pigs again? The cosmopolitan population, the fact that It was a seaport, made it very difficult to carry out such a law as the Scott Act here. Why did the Local Option League not swear not to rest in their beds until the license law was enforced as was suggested they would do with respect to the Scott Act. The churches, concluded the speaker, were losing their grip upon the masses largely because they were losing the methods of their forefathers in advocating prohibitory methods rather than the Inculcating of principles of correct living. Upon Mr. Blakemore resuming his seat amid applause, Father Hartman of the Roman Catholic church rose in his place to speak. He was called to the platform. He said as a Catholic priest he stood against the Scott Act. As a Catholic priest and a man he stood for temperance. What was wanted were temperance men. Taking issue with Mr. Kerr upfin the point on which the latter was dwelling when he closed his speech. Mr. Kerr explained that he had not had time to fully present his views on that point. Father Hartman said he felt sure tbat Mr. Kerr would stand by the old principle, a man should stand in spite of temptation. The right, use of liquor was all right, the abuse of it was all wrong. "Let us oe fair," he said, "and do not impose laws upon those who think they are right." To a man who could not overcome temptation, he always said never touch liquor. Education was what was needed. They wanted men to be able to stop drinking when they had enough. All that was asked was the principle of British fair play. Rev. Mr. McLeod, of the Baptist church, rising to speak, was called to the platform. He said he stood for British fairplay as well as any one. He had been reared under the Scott Act In the maritime provinces. There was no-better country than the maritime provinces. Men left there just for the same reasons as they went from any country. Referring to what Father Hartman had said, Mr. McLeod told of his experience with other Catholic priests who advocated that the people of that church should do just as they liked on such a question. Amidst considerable uproar Father Hartman returned to the platform and a dispute arose as to how the meeting should proceed. Finally Mr. McLeod said he would withdraw from the platform and lean. Father Hartman to explain. The latter said he did not say thai the Catholic people should vote against the Scott Act. lie gave his own views and then left every Roman Catholic to decide for himself how he would vole. (Applause.) The meeting closed with the singing of God Save the King. o ■ EGERIA IS IKiM'i The crew of II. M.

This was in line with the sentiment of the province which was in favor of a "White British Columbia." After outlining some of the main points of the law the speaker said it was about as good a one as could be obtained. There had been, some doubts as to whether the act could be enforced. Mr. Blakemore then proceeded to show that the act had been enforced. He referred to the, list of licenses cancelled or refused. There were sventy-four of these. The cause In many Instances was "not in the public Interest." Was it not reasonable to suppose that the present liquor act could be enforced here to the satisfaction of the most exacting If it. could be enforced elsewhere? If the supporters of the Scott Act were not going to sleep until the law were enforced should the act pass, why should they not show the same zeal in enforcing the license act. It was the duty of every Britisher to see that law was enforced. If the license law after four months trial did enforced however, and It would soon be tested. The meeting closed with the singing of God Save the King. Pop (looking up from the paper): I see there's a new baby hippopotamus at the z-oo. What are you laugh ing at, Johnnie?

A referendum taken in New South Wales quite recently and reported by Reuter's Agency, gave the following results:— Constituencies In favor of the continuance of the present licenses 75 In favor of reduction 15 In favor of Prohibition NONE The full significance of this result becomes apparent when it is remembered that New South Wales is governed officially by the Labor Party, which is stronger and more dominant there than in any country in the world. A delegation of Labor men waited on Mr. Blakemore at the Citizens' League rooms this morning, asking him to make it clear tonight that in Prince Rupert there Is no "organized" vote on the Scott Act among Union men. Some are for and possibly some against, but in no sense is the statement of Dr. Spencer correct that "Labor" is in favor of Prohibition in any form. not succeed as might have been expected, was It reasonable to suppose it could not be enforced. There were honest differences of opinion on this subject. Were the people of Prince Rupert prepared to saddle the city with an act with a record like the Scott Act for three years? This was something which each citizen would have to decide for himself. The meetilug being thrown open to any who might wish to speak to do so, several availed themselves of the opportunity. " One speaker stated that his home had been broken up by the bar. The free lunch restaurant and other features of the Old Country were alluded to and the evil effects attacked. There were thousands of young men who go into a bar that would not go into blind pigs, he said. A. Phllllpson advocated an anti- treating league in the city as a means of overcoming the evils of the drink system. He was a tetotaller himself. He did not advocate barrooms but barrooms were a long way ahead of the blind pigs. The day was coming when drink must pass. He felt the day was coming when they were sure to have home rule for Ireland, done away with. Liquor was going to come in, he said, and it would be better to have it sold In properly licensed places (laughter); women suffragettes given the vole, and the liquor traffic than In blind pigs. Aid. Frank Mobley said there bad been a lot of criticism with respect in the enforcement of the law. The law had noi been enforced as he would have liked to have Been it. The Bowser Act was not applicable to Prince Rupert. As soon as it was found that 11 was not applicable, steps were taken to make it applicable. This was now being done and the law would be enforced. He was opposed to the Scott Act. He would not take an active part in this campaign as he was an opponent of the law. If the Scott Act carried he would use his best efforts to enforce it. If it were not he would endeavor to have the Bowser Act enforced. With respect to the way in which the liquor business was not being carried out, he did not blame the public for kicking. He kicked himself. If he thought the law could not be enforced he would vote for the Scott Act. He believed it could be A A A A A tjt »Jt ♦;* tjt tjt A tjt A A t$t »jt A A, A tjt tjt **« ♦*■» »*» tjt »Jt MARINE NEWS t * To Arrive Wednesday, Dec. 14.—Prince George from Vancouver.

VALVES Pipe and Pipe Fittings ■ ^~' PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL Tuesday, December 13, 1910 FAVOR SCOTT ACT Dr. Spencer and other Speakers Advocate Voting for the Measure. Crowded Meeting Held in the Empress Theatre on Sunday Night The meeting held in the Empress theatre on Sunday evening by those in favor of the Scott Act was well attended. The place was crowded to the doors. Early in the proceedings Rev. Mr. Kerr, from the body of the meeting, ticked if any opposition speakers would lie allowed to speak. lie suggested that as it was Sunday evening nothing of a controversial nature should be Introduced. He thoughl 11 would be unwise lo have any opponents of the Scott Act speak at the meeting. The chairman agreed that this would be the course, more especially in view of the fact that the meeting on Monday evening was to be open. After Dr. Spencer concluded his remarks, Mr. Blakemore, from the audience, rose and addressing the chair, wished to know if he was to be allowed to speak. A negative answer being given, lie wished to know if it were fair that while Dr. Spencer was given a chance to traverse all the ground that had been opened up by liim (Mr. Blakemore) at previous meetings, he should not be allowed to answer him. He did not wish a controversial meeting on Sunday evening. The chairman said he was not going to allow Mr. Blakemore to make a speech, and amldsl some little confusion that prevailed, called for tbe singing of God Save Hie King, which brought the meeting to a close. The meeting was presided over by Aid. Naden, and a number of clergy and supporters of the Scott Act occupied places on the platform. Mr. Naden, in his opening remarks, said he wished to say a word or two on the financial bogey in connection with this question. How did Prince Rupert get along without the bar In the early days? When he came here he was somewhat surprised to find John Houston advocating an no- ltcense town. John Houston said he was doing it because of the advantages of a no-lieense town. The speaker said that he lived in Prince Rupert as a no-license town before the days of the blind pigs. The greatest real estate sale ever held had been when property in a nn license town—Prince Rupert—was put up for sale. The real estate values continued lo increase. Today there were more men employed than any time before in its history. Few would say that prosperity had followed very markedly with the giving of licenses. C. to. Peck denied that only lean fanatics were in favor of the Scott Act. lie was not a lean fanatic, neither was he a fal fanatic. He refused to be bound to the belief that the prosperity of this city was bound up with the liquor traffic. He did his best to allow the people to have a say in the mater of whether they should have licenses or not when he supported a candidate for mayro of the city that incorporated as a plank of his platform that a vote should be taken to decide that question. The speaker believed that the people of this city should take a stand as they saw fit on that subject. He did not believe that it was a cardinal sin to take a drink. He believed in restricting the .;ale of liquor ns much as possible. The people of the city did not come here to live on the profits of the liquor traffice. Winn Prince Rupert had "Billy Vickers and one constable to help liim they had a dry town," and the lu-st town it bad ever been.. Rev, Mr. lies Barres referred to Nova Scotia with which province his family had been Identified for 140 years. He said Nova Scotia w>as not in any way com rclally dead. He had Investments there and these had increased their dividends, There was HO pall hanging over Nova Scotia. He fell some one had insulted his family «hen he heard thai statement made on Friday ntghl thai Nova Scotia after having years of the Scotl Act had a pall hanging over it commercial]}. Dr, Spencer said lie could not feel thai lie was an outsider in Prince Rupert. He belonged to tiie whole province as the organizer of the local option league. The Bpeaker denied thai he ever said thai Chilliwack was chosen as a place to lest the Act because It was the best city in the province, and Prince Rupert because it, was the worst. It bad been intended to have the vote taken In Prince Ruperl before any licenses were granted. He looked upon Prince Rupert as one of the best cities nn the continent. The speaker traced tiie history of the local option vote and said he believed they had men in the government, men in the legislature, who felt that they should have local option, and it was coming. He denied that he ever thanked tiie Premier for giving a plebiscite. The Local Option League had nothing to do with the plebiscite. Some members of that league never wanted to take part in it. The decision was reached to take part in it. When a deputation complained to tiie Premier that they had not been consulted on the plebiscite vote Mr. McBride had said: "The Government does not consult persons outside, and therefore it did not consult you." The Premier was probably right on that, He did thank Mr. Bowser for the new liquor act. He would do it again for a still better act. The leagues were there to help the attorney-general lo carry out Hint law as far as it was felt it was good. On tiie plebiscite a majority of 3,700 was gained, They fell short 500 of the demands of the government. He would not say what he thoughl of that demand at this time. The work he was in was not Conservative nor Liberal. A convention of the league decided then to ask that the Dominion Government should adapt the Canadian Temperance Act to British Columbia.

S30 "•■&- _ Tuesday, December 13, 1910 THE PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL FAVOR SCOTT ACT (Continued from Page Six) speaker said that Prince Rupert had had far greater investments before licenses were granted than since there were licenses. Licensed bars did not control the Investments here. There was no more necessity for blind pigs than bars. Law enforcement was what the cities of Canada wa ited more than anything else. Last week In aVncouver sixteen blind-pig men were fined and they have licenses there. Dr. Spencer argued that in Kansas the piohibltory law had been a decided benefit. It was true 400 places were emptied after the law passed, but these were saloons, brothels, gambling places and drinking clubs. On the question of the enforcement of the act, Dr. Spencer said that In the early days the Scott Act was difficult to enforce. But amendments had been made and it was now enforced. Liquor could only be Imported for medical purposes, sacramental purposes, manufacturing purposes and private use. As to the unfairness alleged that a vote of perhaps 301 might decide tbat the Scott Act should be ln force, the speaker suggested that "the boot be put on the other foot," and asked if it would be fair that 301 should say that the license system should not be wiped out. He pleaded that no one had a right to put a temptation in the way of any one else. Prince Edward Island had a population of 103,000. There never were more there. There was not room for more. Prohibitory law had not depopulated It. After Mr. Blakemore made his request to be heard, the meeting broke up with the singing of God Save the King. Marvelous Dividend Achievements The Mutual Life Insurance Company of New York paid in dividends in 1909 the sum of $11,005,914.96, an amount without precedent in this country or In any other. The company has also apportioned for payment of dividends in 1910 the enormous sum of $12,401,752.11, an amount greater by nearly two millions than any other company has ever paid In a single year. Indeed, of 157 companies doing business in the United States, only 12, including industrial, had, up to aJnuary 1st, 1909, paid during their entire existence as large a total in dividends as the sum apportioned by The Mutual Life for 1910. "I think I have discovered a system to beat the bookies," remarked Mr. Ounson, looking over the top of the morning poper. "What you need just now is a system to beat the carpets," retorted Mrs. Gunson, decidedly.
