By-Election Thursday

The seat in Third Queens, vacated by the appointment of former Premier J. Wal- ter..lones to the Senate, will be filled as a

Liberal candidate or all independent farmer. there being no candidate representing the, official Opposition. The seat is that of ai councillor and consequently subject to at property vote rather than the popular fran- chise.

At the General Election of April 26. .1951, Senator Jones went ill with a inajor- iiy of 219 over his Progressive Conserva- tive opponent. He polled 1,149 votes com- pared with 930 for Mr. M. W. Wood, less than half the majority enjoyed by his run- ning mate, the Hon. Dougald MacKinnoli. At that time the former premier said that it would he the last election he would con- test.

The two candidates in tomorrow's elec- tion are both farmers and livestock breed- ers. They have made their personal appeals to the electors and, apart from personalities, the question now is whether an additional Government supporter will be returned to a llouse in which the Oppositionare heavily outnumbered or whether a critic who will not be identified with the official Opposi-

tion will be added. g The Belfast district, in any case, will

make its own decision for its own reasons. Nothing that friends or enemies of the

likely to influence the result one way or the other.

Power Interruptions

The disruption of light and power ser- vices over a large section of the city, re- sulting from a few fallen trees and broken branches in Monday's storm, was the worst experienced by our citizens for a long time. In several cases it took nine hours, and in one case almost twenty-four hours. to effect urgent repairs. It appears evident that the repair crews were too few in num- bers, and inadequately equipped to do their work as expeditiously as was required.

No reflection is intended here upon the workmen: but a big plant like that of the Maritime Electric Company, with large re- sources to draw upon-and in this case with due warning from the weather forc- zasters that a storm was in the offing,-- should be prepared to meet emergencies of greater efficiency and dc- spatcll. in other ccntres the most up-tc- date facilities are available for such pur- poses. and interruptions, when they occur. are of very short duration.

While making every allowance for con-'

ditlons of emergency, Charlottetown light and power patrons are not inclined to ex- cllse a moment's unnecessary delay in re- pairing linc damages. They pay a high rate for the facilities they enjoy: A large number of them now depend almost entire- ly on electrical power for cooking and other purposes, and repair facilities which might have been adequate twenty or thirty 3'93”

to that in urban industries, which can gauge overtime to the demand for the pro- ducts and resort to it when it is economic- ally justified. Seeding, haying and harvest! are not things which can be left over until the next month. The seeding just has to' be done in the proper time, the hay mustf be brought in when mature, and the grain harvested when ripe. This makes long hours essential especially if rain should impede progress. And cows must be milked on. Sundays just as on other days. Indeed. much of the farm work is done on what in cities would be regarded as "overtime". With modern machinery farmers, says, the Star, can get more work done in less time, and this has reduced somewhat the late hours. But it still is impossible to regulate work on the farms in the same manner as it is done in factories. Farmers are working with nature, and the climate and other natural forces aren't amenable to arbitrary rules of man. Nature sets the pace and farnlers must adjust themselves to it I

Honorary chiefs

At the next session of Canada's Parlia- ment two distinguished Indian Chiefs will;

tface each other across the Commons flooru

”The other day," says the Winnipegi Free Press, ”Mr. John Diefenbaker bowed his head to receive from Chief Snake of Starblanket Reserve the symbolic feathered headdress of the Cree Indians and the loftyi title of Chief Eagle. i

”It: is hardly two years since another paleface of the Saskatchewan plains, the Rt. Hon. J. G. Gardiner, was initiated into the mysteries of the Blood Indian tribe.

Mr. Gardiner, on suitable occasions, is pro- l

perly addressed as Tsikum-Ina, Thunder Chief.

"Chief Eagle and Thunder Chief, when they doff their ceremonial feathers, swear allegiance to very different and opposing totems. On the election warpath and across the floor of the whiteman's mighty council chamber, they have been known to swing their political tomallawks with enthusiasm and dexterity.

"There may be paleface members of that council who will think it inconsis-tent that these Indiali chiefs, whose tribes, for well on ii hundred years, have smoked the pipe of peace, should shout their battle cries across the Commons floor. But it is in just this sort of verbal combat that the strength of the white man's pow-pow lies. Chief Eagle and Thunder Chief may be blood brothers of the plains, but as in- heritors of our democratic traditions of free :and vigorous Parliamentary debate they iwill continue to do honest battle for their own distinctive concepts of the public good."

EDITORIAL NOTES

Armed robbery, such as that of a service station in Summerside, is foreign to this relatively peaceful Island. A number of crimes of violence, however, have taken place recently and represent. a most un- fortunate development.

Because. they never have received a share of the national income, even in good years, proportionate to their numbers. farmers have had difficulty competing with urban industries in wages. During the past few years, notes the Windsor Star, this discrepancy in income has been less than formerly, and farmers have been able to pay better than usual. But there are other factors, such as hours and the hard labor which prevails on farms, which make many men prefer city work. Too often farmers have been compelled, unless they can hire a neighborhood man who is experienced and gdept, to get along with inferior labor. And a.fsrm hand is almost useless, except for slmple tasks, if he doesn't know how to handle animals and machinery.
