N the Stats of Ohio there iivsd a bunch of boys who had this trapping business down to s science.

They each sent for separate price lists sv-r‘; year and then sent all

best quotations. After flve years they decided they weren't so dread- ful y wise because they didn't have enough profits to make their efforts worth while.

One day they met Tom McMillan driving a new car to town. Tom Inid he made the price of his swcll outfit shipping pelts.

it is refreshing to follow a lead- er who goes to the root oi the evil and applies the remedy there rath- er than attempting reform by lop- ping oii the occasi l branches which show symptoms oi disease. There can he no doubt that a large proportion, if not all, of the Juven- ile depravity oi today originates either directly or indirectly in the homsntihsi. the parents are direct- ly or indirectly responsible. His Lordship's recommendation that the Judge oi the Juvenile Court be empowered to punish the parents, by tine or otherwise, for the offenc- es of their children would, if acted upon, go far towards teaching men and that they must not, either through ignorance or carelessness, permit their chil- dren to drift into criminality.

Canada drives a bargain with us and cannot be heard to say, "it will cost too liiuch to live up to that bargain." Was Canada bound by the Constitution to build the Grand Trunk Pacific. or to take over the Canadian Northern? Was it obliged to build the Hudson Bay Railway? And yet bow many mill- ions and hundreds oi millions were spent on these our share of which we are paying with little corresponding advant- age to us. ' What then is the remedy? Does it lie in Capt. Reed's defence oi the service or in “Travellei"s" critic isms and abuse oi Capt. Read? Does It lie iii the Boards oi Trade preparing llleliloranda and present- ing them to Sir Henry Thornton’! Sir Henry Thornton alld the Rall- way management are daily receiv- ing dozens oi complaints: they can- not possibly begin to remedy them all and it is possible that many of the important ones are plgeon-llol 0d.

in the face of all this and these, the electors oi Halifax City and County and of Kent County, N.B., are calmly told by the Liberal ma- chine that they must elect the sup- porters of Mackenzie King or lose everything!

pel their children to steal coal from the railway or wherever else they can find it. Much also might be said about the general attitude to- wards "stealing from the govern- ment." Many respectable and oth- erwise law-abiding citizens consid- cr it no wrong to cheat the govern- ment uut of n customs charge by smuggling a few articles oi dress or jewelry across the line. This Is on a par with sending the child out at night to steal coal from the railway, the only difference being that the former is sufllcientiy res- pectable to be boasted oi. But that is another story.

The need oi a reiormatory‘ oi some kind has long been admitted. Unfortunately the present finan- cial posillon of the province to- gether with our inherent dislike oi taxes, probably precludes title ad- vlsabiilty of establishing such an in- stitution in the province but. as pointed out by His Lordship. there is a possibility of establishing one jointly with the other maritime provinces.

What has the Liberal party done for Canada or for Prince Edward island? We are told that...“i.lboral governments accomplish things." The Laurier government did ac- complish something. Thcy built a railway across the continent. from Moncton to the Pacific which in ten years _past has not paiii half tile cost of its intermittent opera- tion. if anybody knows wliut else the Liberal party has donc for the Dominion. or for this Province. let them speak oi it. it would be a valuable news item. Twenty ail- nual deficits without a break was the Liberal provincial record iroln 1890 to 1911. And yet the local Liberal organ ventures to speak of debts and deficits!
