.The great majority of. farm homes in this pro- " vince‘ could afford all these or most of them; they ' have all the modern machinery and labor saving cic- vlices in the barn or elsewhere on the farm; why not in the home? _” It is generally conceded, and with good reason. . thatthe woman on the farm has the hardest end of the load to carry; that she works longer hours, has . fewer holidaysand-gcnbrally a harder time all round _ than her husband has. Possibly man’s inherent self-

ishness and’ woman's inherent patience are jointly responsible for the difference. In any case the con- dition is not wholesome, is not conducive to the health or happiness of the home nor to the keeping ' at home of the children. If the boys and girls are going to remain on the farm, their home must be made dearer to them than any other place. This dearncss must include ' the mother and her comfort, her enjoyment, her pleas- ures and a large sympathetic share in her trials. Are we doing as much for the comfort of the home as for ' labor saving in the barn?

“ i ' The Patriot quotes an allegedchallenge issued behind the sheltering defc-nces of a Liberal conven- tion at O’Leary, by Mr. A. C. Saunders and Hon. Bell- ‘Jamin Gallant, to Conservatives generally and the - Guardian particularly “to an open discussion on the , legislation ‘passed at the last session.” To ‘this the Patriot adds its own personal challenge in the clas- dc words “Bah! we too challenges the .1 Guardian”

(The “Bah!” is probably intended as theroar of a liong—but- voice and skin betray the species.)

_ l But to the challenge. A discussion on a public ~ platform would no doubt suit these gentlemen and

, the Patriot much better than a discussion in per- manent black and white. In the former they would have the privilege of saying things which they could " afterwards deny—as has s0 frequently happened dur Ting‘ and since the last election campaign. This is why the Patriot has declined the perpetual challenge q of the Guardian to come down to facts on paper.

, To begin at the beginning then probably the fnost damaging charge made against the Bell govern rnent, not only by the Guardian but by the people throughout the province, is thatit came ino power on. false pretences; that is, it made promises tothe elec- tors which deceived them into giving it their support F/this is not the most damaging charge it is,at least

undamental, as truth and honesty and good gov- ernment cannot be built upon a foundation of false- . hood. We have repeatedly challenged the Patriot to‘.

disprove this; we repeat the challenge to itself, Mr. l Saunders and Hon. Benjamin Gallant, collectively and individually to discuss it in cold print which may be kept for future reference, not in platform

_ vatory which may be repudiated after its echoes

. , ave died away.

F As a starter in this “discussion” which we trust f’? will be historic, let us begin with this statement » from Mr. Bell’s manifesto ublished in the Patriot of July 18, 1919 :— “With proper economy out of their additional revenue of approximately $2,000,000 this govern- ,» fnent should have been able to apply considerably ~, more than $30,000 towards the increase of teachers’ salaries.” . . , The people want to know what Mr. Bell meant

b ‘this. Did he mean that the then revenue was sufli clentor did it convey any intimation that, if elect- d, he would take means to increase the revenue?

‘ To save time and circumlocution a brief reply will be suificient, as we have other ore-election and oat-election utterances to discuss. We admit in ad- ancothat-the P. E. Island sky is beautifully blue,
