THE PATRIOT’S PERPLEXITY
lu these days of stress and political turmoil The Patriot
does not know whore to tum for comfort and consolation. Every inan's hand seems against it. including those of its own household. Bitter and long have been the cries of dissatisfaction with the machine nominees sent to the din- tricts by the Liberal headquarters, somewhere in the vicinity of the “Patriot stairs," and recently. llavllig H0 friends of its own, The Patriot attempted to make friends with The Examiner by patronizingly patting it on the back, and commending it for not being too hard upon a poor editor ploughing his lonely furrow through a field of sand. But The Examiner naturally resented any DHU'°““59 of that description, and smartly brought The Patriot to book for gross misrepresentation. The Patriot returned with more soothing syrup and made half-amends, hoping The Examiner would be satisfied. But our vlrile evening Coiiteniporary was not to be thus iniD0S9d “D011 Mid DT0' duced facts and figures to demonstrate beyond a shadow of doubt that The Patriot had been deliberately mislead- ing its renders. The Examiner called upon The Patriot to inform its readers of the facts and thereby save what was left of its reputation, even at the eleventh hour. -
Yesterday, after two days’ cogitatlon--lt usually takes
The Patriot forty-eight hours to make tip its miiid-our Con- temporary casts discretion to the wind, ignores the appeal to its reputation. and roundly abuses The Examiner for suggesting that it should speak the truth or for ever hold its tongue.
Well, well, after that, of course, there is nothing for us
but to take The Patriot at its true valuation. , '
We have shown that it declines to accept the word of
the Public Auditor, the opinion of the Superintendent of Schools, or the evidence submitted by The Examiner. It has skilftilly avoided the issue with ourselves. We must therefore come to the conclusion that 'l`he Patriot is a Mr. Knowall, who when coiivlnced against his will, is of the

TDURIST SEASON .
l
What preparation are we making for the accommoda-,
tion of visitors during the coming tourist season? For
been increasing and this year, owing to the war in Europe and the consequent deflection in other directions of the_ stream that has constantly flowed in that direction. there is no doubt that we shall have more visitors than ever before in our history. Heretoforc we have been complain- ing, and there was some room for the complaint, that we were not able to accommodate all who came. How shall we handle the larger number?
There are many things that could be done to meet the
increased demand for accommodation. There are many private boarding houses in the city and throughout the country in which accommodation could be secured if the need were made known. The present trouble is that there is no organization in touch either with the demand or the supply. We need a Tourists' Association with a bureau of information which could keep constantly in touch with the stream of travel and which could intelligently direct visitors to such accommodations, in town or country as they might desire. Through some such means as this, with the literiiture that is constantly going out, our pro- vince could be made a veritable Tourists’ Paradise.
The Charlottetown Board of Trade, the only organiza-
tion in our midst that has done anything to promote tourist travel, has done an excellent work in circulating literature abroad with reference to the province and its attractions. lf it wete' now to go a step farther and tabulate definite information with reference to available accommodation in city and country which could be placed at the disposal of visitors it would greatly extend the good work it has begun.
The thing we wish to place before our visitors is the
fact that we have accommodation for all who`can come. but they will want that information to be definite. .This is merely a hint for the beginning of the tourist season.

WILD BEAST LODSE IN THE WORLD
The New York Tribune, in an editorial article of re-
cent date says: "Let no German mistake the temper of the American people; let no German high or low misunder- stand the new vision which has come to our citizens ln the days which they have stood beside their murdered fellow citizens. Whether we now join in the war, whether we now draw the sword henceforth and until the destruction of those who today dominate Germany, the American people will look upon the nations who are fighting the Germans as allies. They will hope and pray for their success. Many millions will regret that no American soldiers are in those lines doing America's part in the battle to defend civilisation. “Let none mistake this fact. A wild beast is loose in the worI°, a creature combining the ferocity oi the animal with the lust of the degenerate human. Tho! struggle is not a struggle of nations; it is a battle between civilisation and barbarlsm. A German victory would mean the destruction of all we hold beet In our national life."

A Montreal judge has -seen fit to reprove from the
Bench those persons who take it unto themselves to -denounce others who do not volunteer for war for various reasons. Perhaps the reproof will do some good. In the, connection it is worth noting that the objectionable critics do not include in their number the men who are going to the front. Those who ,wear the uniform recognise that the enemy is the proper 'person to attack, not thelr` own countrymen. V _ )
The entrance of K Italy into the war leaves only`. one
neutral State of influence still outside the' ring of hostili- ties-the United States. Of the twenty nations of Europe ten are not at war, but the fighting half represents 'three-` quarters of the area (2,i'20,000 square miles out of 3,800,- 000), and nine-tenths of the wealth. Spain is now the most important country ln Europe--certainly the largest- that has uo°t been drawn into the vortex.
In his new play Mr. Stephen Phillips represents the
German Emperor as a reincarnation of the spirit of Attila. The parallel has often been drawn (first of all by the Kai-
ser himselfi, but nowadays we are as conscious of its inade- quacy as we are of the impotence of superlatlves in de- scrlbing an unlmagined conflict. We have a good deal of sympathy with the writer in the "Sphere," who thinks that the word “German” is now a term of greater obliquy than "Hun" ever was or ever could be. Attila and the Huns did after their kind without taking any airs about it. They did not boast of their “kultur"; they did not cry aloud to the Vlieivrtairs to witness their high moral virtues; they did not -claim the Almighty as a patron of their barbiirltles. They 'were just plain murderers, anti did not set up to be mis- sionaries. `
