THE MAIL-HERALD, REVELSTOKE PAQH THR-M PROVED TO THE HILT! It has been absolutley demonstrated that the executive of the People's Prohibition Party has been false to a trust. Now, upon the Defence, Messrs. Gibson, Hammond and Woodworth support the Party's parliamentary representatives and say that, although the Prohibition Act is weak, it is, nevertheless, the limit of provincial powers. They will not tell the whole truth, nor even part of tbo truth concerning this Counterfeit, wide-open measure It Is suggested that the following apology might properly be Issued by the People's Prohibition Party: APOLOGY The Prohibition Act does not prohibit tho sale or use ot linuor. It provides for wide distribution, by vendors and drug stores and the unlimited importation from without tho Province, to be consumul in way quantity in the home. The reason why this is permitted is because the Province has no power to rlo otherwise, that is, although we call the Act a Prohibition measure, such a thing is not possible. C. Woodworth (Political Adviser). People's Prohibition Party, The Truth The Doherty Act, passed by the Dominion Senate on May 8, is entitled "An Act in aid of Provincial Legislation prohibiting or restricting the USE OR SALE of intoxicating liquors.'" It does exactly as it says It does, and I which is within the powers of the Dominion Government, prevents any person sending liquor into n province against the laws of tbc Province Therefore, if tbe Provincial Government pass a law prohibiting the use of liquor, no person can Import liquor Into the Province. AUTHORITY - Hon. C. J. Doherty, Dominion Minister of Justice. The Falsehood (Daily World, Aug. 17)—"Prohibitionists deny that the Doherty Act gives British Columbia power to pass absolute Prohibition." AUTHORITY—C. Woodworth, Political Adviser People's Prohibition Party. Whom Do You Believe ? Hon. C. J. Doherty, K.C., Minister ot Jastice, a member of the lomlnion Cabinet Professor of Law in McGill University and one at the most eml ent jurists ia or The Vancouver World, the paid organ of the people's Prohibition Party, supported by the opinion of C.

A VOTE FOR PROHIBITION ACT is NOT A VOTE For Prohibition THE ACT DOES NOT PROHIBIT (Read Clause 57) THE ACT IS CLASS LEGISLATION (Read Clause 3) THE ACT IS UN-BRITISH (Read Clause 48) FIRST STEP TOWARDS BIG UNDERTAKINGS Keel Laid for the First Steel Steamship to be Built on Pacific Coast-Great Importance to British Columbia J THE B. C. Last week saw the laying ol tbe keel of the first steel steamship to be built on the British Columbia coast. The importance of this to BritiBh Columbia's industrial future may be very great. It is only a hundred years Since the brent modern shipyards and shipping lineB had their beginnings, nnd those beginnings were no larger thun tbis. lt is about tbe some length ol time since iron ships were brst mooted. The general introduction of iron and steel ships dates from less than fifty years ago, however, and the first steel ship to traverse the Atlantic sailed to a Canadian port. Tbis new firstling is commissioned lor a Japanese line from tbe Wallace Yards in North Vancouver, by a British firm of shipbrokers. Undoubtedly the order is indirectly owing to tbe war. Shipbuilding, and the control of seaborne commerce have always been influenced by war, and in turn tbey decide the issue in all great wars. The late Admiral Mahan traced the inevitable connection between sea power and world empire throughout the world's known history long before the present war furnished such striking proof of it. Being an American, he began his deductions at home with the observation of the fact that it was the sea power of the North that doomed the South. But there was reaction as well as action' the United States, which before the rebellion had been running England close as a maritime power, came out of the war crippled in her sea wing. Her merchant marine steadily diminished,1 until a few years ago there waB but one sea-going vessel registered under the American flag. The reason of this was that the great change from sail to stearr., and from wooden vessels to iron ones, began while the Civil War was being fought. The United States was too busy to keep up with tbe march of mechanical progress during four years, and then England's start was too great to be made up by an exhausted nation, with the task of reconstruction on its hands. No such fate will befall the British Empire during the present war. The rhipyards of the British Isles are working twenty-four hour shifts at full capacity, and adding to that capacity as (fast as possible. This ship is but a crumb fallen from their ta- j bles. Nevertheless, it is a rice, nourishing crumb, and may be followed by a slice. More and more ships will, be wanted until the end of the war., War prices for ship? are such that any shipyard can well afford to build without subsidies. Ships bave chang^ ed hands in the last year for more than ten times their ante-bellum value. Ships have been chartered at a year's rental exceeding their total cost. The conditions are extremely favorable for a young and tender industry. It is just promptitude in taking advantage of favoring circumstances that marks the inception of all great business undertakings. ^'■".e^.K^v^v!.......

It SO THE PEOPLE MAY KNOW HERE IS WHAT THE PARLIAMENTARY INVESTIGATION INTO THE PLUGGING SCANDALS PROVED: , • | M|}|| JUDGE FOR YOURSELF, MR. VOTER. At the Parliamentary investigation into the plugging scandals forty* seven witnesses were examiued at twenty-seven sittings, and gave evldonce covering two thousand typewrittenpages of foolscap. The facts proved w ere as follows: John T. Scott was thc secretary ol tho Provincial Liberal Association. On the appointment of the Parliamentary Committee Scott skipped td Seattle and stayed there. Jerry Finch, Scott's attorney, was chief adviser to Macdonald during the Parliamentary investigation. Johnny Clancy, Jack and Monty White, prominent in the underworld ot Seattle, were the chief organizers ot the pluggers. The pluggers were gathered into groups of from ten to fifteen, eacti group in charge of a leader. Numerous rooming houseB in Vancouver were used for thc pluggers' ao commodatfon. Herbert Pearce, ex-employee of tha "Sun" and Scott's chief assistant^ hired the rooms. Pearce swore that Macdonald srr-Ugglfcd him out of the country. OVER 5,000 PLUGGERS'S CARDS WERE PREPARED BY SCOTT AND FILLED IN BY MRS. WILKES. The pluggers' cards read on one side: Your name Is Youa address ia Your occupation is You vote in Ward Your number on the voters' list is While on the other side was a sample ballot marked for Macdonald. Pearce stated that all of these cards had been distributed. Pluggers voted from six to ten times each. Scott gave Gosden $900 to hribe impersonators. All of the pluggerB without exception voted for Macdonald. Reddington, of thc Thiel Detective Agency, employed by the Llberala, swore that the Conservatives had conducted a clean campaign. Clements and Allen, two chauffeurs.said the autos used by the pluggcra werc hired by Liberal Association. Pluggers' autos were designated by blue ribbon. A gigantic impersonation conspiracy was proved to the hilt. All trails at the enquiry led to Scott, assistant secretary of the Organization Committee of the Provincial Liberal Association, of which Macdonald was chairman. The warrant for Scott's arrest was not issued ucitil the last week of tha investigation, and not until ho had failed to answer to the subpoena. Scott visited Macdonald in Victoria while the Investigation was ln progress. Macdonald admits that he suggested Scott's name ns secretary of the Liberal Association. YET DR. SUTHERLAND AND HIS FRIENDS ARE TRYING TO MAKE! THE ELECTORS BELIEVE THE WHOLE THING WAS A VILE PLOT ON THE PART OF THE TORIES TO RUIN MACDONALD. On September llth, Mr. Voter, you will have whether or not you approve of these actions. SCOTT WAS AVAILABLE. an opportunity of stating- In a recent speech at Vancouver, Premier Bowser stated as follows: If Mr. Macdonald or Mr. Brewster wanted to got at the higher-ups, they could havc placed Scott in the witness box at the Victoria investigation, when there was no warrant for his anest and when immunity was extended to him. They had him thcre in their room in thc House 15 feet from the room where the investigation was being carried on. Why didn't they put him on the stand? Now they nBk immunity for him. 1 am not here to make deals with the Liberals, so that they can wash their dirty linen. When the paper made the exposure about tho Vancouver plugging at Eustcr, what did Mr. Macdonald do? Instead of spending his holidays in Vancouver he went to Seattle, where Scott is, and thither went Mr. Farris of Revelstoke, a brother of Mr. deB. Farris, the Liberal candidate in Vancouver. Mr. Macdonald returned to British Ooluirihla about the time Gosden claims he received the $50 from him. I cannot bring Scott back here, but It he comes ho will be prosecuted, tho same as Annance was, and if Scott has nothing to fear, why does he not come back? Why does not. Mr. Macdonald get an affidavit from him in Seattle, if he wants to get at the higher-ups? If Scott, comes back here now he wlll face a charge of bigamy nnd a charge of making a fnlse affidavit, If his contention thnt he is nn Aimerl- eari citizen is tme. For he mnde an application prior to thc by-election tc have hia name plnced on the voters' list. Do you think, even if the war- innt wns Withdrawn, that he'd come back in the face of these two charges?
