Maine Is Playing tha Role Before the
Canadian Parliament.

Ottawa, Ont, February 25.-1n the
House of Commons yesterday. Mr. Flint,
opposition, resumed the debate on his
motion for prohibitory law which he
introduced on Wednesday last. He went
into history of prohibition in Maine,
which he said was great example for
Canada to initiate.
The loss of revenue he maintained
would be more than made up for by the
direct and indirect benefits which would
follow from prohibitory law. In hi
opinion the law would be enforced. The
debate is unfinished.
