During the celebration in ‘Pictton last summer, commemorating the arrival in 1773 of the "Hector" wit-h the tine body of Scotch High- landers who came out from Scot- land in her, the claim was made

that. they were the first Scottish " -' immigrants to come to she Mari- " time Provinces. ‘Pictota has inst cause to ‘be proud of the tmen who came in the Hector, ‘but the olaim that they were the first. to come is not historically correct. Captain John McDonald of Glenaladsle in Scotland brought out three thund- red immigrants the previous year.

The Honorable P. J. Veniot. Pre-

mier and Minister of Public Works. is doubtless the most conspicuous

figure in New Brnnswlcks provin- cial affairs. He is of French Aca- dian parentage and was born in Rlchlbucto sixty years ago. He has proved himself to be an astute and versatile politician, a fluent speak- er in both the English and French languages, and us n member of the Liberal government and head of the Public Works Department bus gained nn extended knowledge of provincial affairs and a wide ac- qualntance with the people. In the seven or eight. counties along the north shore of the province and at the head of the St. John river, where his compatriots are either numerous or dominant in number, be ls especially popular.

When he took over the premier- ship a year ago from Hon. Walter E. Foster. of Si. John, Mr. Veniot retained the great spending depart- ment of Public tVorktr. His politi- cal critics charge hrnr with extra- vagance and it seems to he true that none of his predecessors in ofllce ever expended so much money within a like period. im- proved road building and hydro- electric development. account ibr smre millions of this expenditure, but the provincial debt has in the meantime grown to alarming pro- pcr-tions. Taxation is lri.',h,‘with no prospect of reduction, while ever-growing interest charges in- crease the dlfliculty of finding‘

In order to render effective the in- tention of the agreements refer- red to, Mr. A. W. Campbell.

We note that in trhe classifica- tion lry provinces iPrince Edward island is credited with only 170 ‘miles of "improved Earth Roads" with 3.468 miles of "unimproved" as at October r31, 1922. This is a slightly different calculation from that given during the exciting days preceding the‘ last provincial eiiec- tion, when we fondly imagined we had 400 miles of improved, greatly improved, in fact perfected roads. The merciless accuracy of tirese of- ficial bulletins has more than once caused trouble with pre-election statistics.

Construction byi the government is believed to be] favored by the party in power. Thci cost must run into millions. and where is the money to come front? In the eager search for new sources of much needed revenue the possi- bllity of the government taking ov- er the control of the liquor tratTc after the manner of Quebec has not been overlooked. Recently Premier Veniot was reported as having givenva public intimation ill New Brunswick, but he promptly denied the published statement.

Notwithstanding his explicit de- nial of what he was reported :0 have said. the St. John Globe, a and candid supporter, frankly admits that “for a long time the New Brunswick Premier has been credited with admiration of the Quebec system." lt remains to be seen whether he and his gov- ernment will adopt the syitern that he is admitted to admire and op- peal to the country thereon. Hith- erto the prohibition sentiment has been strong and firm in the Eng- lish-speaking sections of the pro- vince, and if less so in the Acadlnn

sections, he would still be a bold '

lender who would stake the fate of his party on the repeal of the prohibition law in New Brunswick.

The Vsniot Government has a sufficient majority in the present legislature. And since the with- drawal of Hon. Dr. Baxter from the provincial to enter the federal fleld the Conservative opposition has not found a leader of equal ability. influence and experience to succeed trim. This fact is 1o the advantage of the government, but the crush- ing Liberal defeats last summer in Ontario and Prince Edward Island give warning that governments which spend the public moneys with s too lavish hand, piling up debts and multiplying deficits, can no longer count upon public sup- port or forbearance. There is good confluence in the Conservative ranks in New Brunswick, ably sup‘ ported by influential journals in _Moncto_n and- the smaller towns. but sadly wanting in Saint John. the chief commercial and intellec- tual centre of the province.
