l A LEADERS’ SINCURE

The l’atrlot has been complaining that $125 por month

is too tnuch to pay for u Premier, so it has with its usual iiicorisisteiicy selected ti. man to lead the Opposition who for five years has been drawing $583 per month for merely endorsing the acts and policy ofthe Premier .during the past three years. Whose services have been more valu- able te the Province-Mr. lllatliiesotrs at $125 per month or Mr. Rogers at $583 per month?

For unforgotten niotiths the Patriot has been wrestling

with the l’ublic At-couiits in an endeavour to prove to its readers that the balance shown nt 'tho end of each year ol` tho Matliicson adniitiisiratioti was a deficit, not a surplus. l‘rovt-il wrong even to its own satisfaction iii every iti- staiico, it in its yi-stcrda_v's issue. with cheerful idiocy, goes at it again with the introduction. “Let us look at it in another way ns follows,” rind pi'ot-cr~tls with the same uiiwcarying and asiuino persistence through nearly two voluinns of “looking at it another way." The “ other wa_\"' provns to be the same old way and through the sutnc political s|ict'tncles that long ago irrcvociibly twisted the l’alrioi.‘s vision. Our esieeined contemporary is hope- lessly iuipossililc. `

$100,000 per annum for all time. The car ferry and direct communication with the main-

LIFTING THE MORTGAGE

\\llu.~ii thc Matlilcsoti Gov_ernment came into powor it

was faced with it million and seveniy-two thousand dollar mortgage on the Island.

’l`hero was no prospect under tlto Liberals of reducing

this niortgage; on the other hand tho Island- was ticcuin- ulatlng ii. further liability of $45,000 per annum.

Ruin! Stark, staring ruin faced us. No farmer could call his farm his own, for thoro was

tho lion of ono inillloit and scvonty-two tliousiiiid dollars on ovory fiirui in tho Island. ~ The Mathieson Government t-unto into power :intl in three short years reduced the mortgage by $90,000.

Tho prosper-ts now are that in twenty yearn of (‘onsorvii-

tlvo rule, the whole of the indebtedness of the Province will be wiped out, and cvory fnrnior will bo free and uu- traniniollod by Government for public debt.

Who would go bark to the Dreadful Days of Liberal

Maladminlstratlon with tho mortgages, debt and financial ruin?

No intelligent farmer would dream of it.

ONE OF THE ISLAND

A good story ls going the rounds in Vancouver at tho

expense of l’. IC. lslnnd. A short time ago a (lhlnaman who resides ln the ward represented by Alderman Frank Woodsitlr- in the (Ylty (`ouncll, was arrested for gambling and he nt once sont for Mr. Woodside. The Alderman ever retitly to do a favor for a constituent, even ll' he did

not have a vote, responded to the call and was asked to fuse his influence to assist the Chlnk to light and llhi-.rt_\'. lThe (‘lilnainan was asked where he crime from and ro- 'piferl "ilong Kong, mee workee laundry Summernldt>." A bright itlcti occurred to the city father and he advised his Chinese friend when he came up for examination lu the (‘ourt to tell the t‘hlef of Police and the Police Magis- triilr- tlint he crinit- from Prince Edward inland. ll is a

platter of record that the Clilnemsn followed instructions and was given his liberty. The point of the story le that _the Chief of Police as well as the Police Magistrate claim P. E. island as their home. Who says the Scotch are the only clannish people?

While the Grit office-seekers declalm vaguely about the

fextravagance of the Mathieson Government, they have not yot indicated where they purpose cutting down expenses. ,Mr John Richards, the former leader of the party, was ‘given an opportuiilty on the floor of the House to specify ‘some one item of extrsvagance and he candidly confessed ‘he could not do lt. “ There was an impression throughout) the country." he said, " that there was extravaganco.” Tho Grit office-seekers have been working on this “lui- pressjon" ever since, but the farmers and the business people ure demanding to bo told just where the extrava- ganee came in and they must bo told before election day. The Patriot tipologises for Mr Richards' inability to be specific “ou the spur of the moment." The Patriot has liud three und a half years in which to think it out. Why .'.iot say now where the pruning knife is to be applied? Is Mr Rogers to have a salary when the party arrives at the stage where it will need ti premier?

“ TEMPERANCE ” ON THE STUMP

That portion of “The Temperance Alilance" consisting

of Messrs David Schurman, Rev. W. D. Wilson and Rev. W. 1'. McVic has taken the stump in the Fourth District of Kings in Opposition to Hoti. Murdoch McKinnon, Com- `nilssioner of Agriculture. These gentlemen. according to the Patriot of yesterday, addressed a meeting at Beach Point on Tuesday evening, and the theme of their speaking was-not teniperance, but Hon. Murdoclt McKinnon. It. has been said, with what'truth we know not, that the Rev. Mr Wilson declared recently that he would give $2,000 to defeat lion. Mr McKinnon. Whether lie said so or not matters little.; the thing that will amaze the conscientious members of the Temperance Alliance is that he and Mr Schiirnian should prostitute their official connection with the Alliance to the extent of using it as a. barrier from behitid which iliey might attiick a gentleman, who hap- pens to br a candidate at the forthcoming election. Mr McKinnon has been a sincere and lifelong advocate of teinpernncc and tnucli of what is best in -the present. Prohibition Act is due to his. efforts. Thathe has incurred the wrath of the gentlemen who used the sacred precincts of a Baptist (lhurch anti the official position given them by thc Teniperaiice Alliaticc, to make a cowardly and liypoeritical attack iipoti him. is their misfortune, not his.

“Mr Scliuriniin," the Patriot report of the meeting

informs us, “quoted front the letter of Hou. B. Rogers respecting st:-itcinents of lion. Mr McKinnon, which said. “l beg to say that Mr McKinnon was either niisinformed, or wilfully stated what was absolutely untrue, when he said at a meeting in Montague that the Lleut.-Governor had released three offenders from jail who were there for offences, against the advice of the Attorney-General and of the fiovernnteiil."

When Mr Schurmau read this quotation he knew that

he was quoting what was untrue. He knew it bccaiiso at `a"previoiis"s'tagoofntlienpolitical"campaign_wlilch he waged in the name of tenipcruncc and in which he matic the sauio charge on the same authority, the Guardian had exposed its falsity. lti the Guardian of Nov. 21, 1914. thc official record of I‘roliibition reprieves was publlslied. taken verbatim from the official jail records. The three cases referred to are entered on the jail records as foilowsz-

“Mi-irgarct McKinnon. committed Nov. 19, 1913, par-

doned by Lieutenant-Governor Nov. 26, sentence three mouths. Wliy discharged, on payment of half fine in response to a nurnerously signed petition by lending citi- zens. Note, contrary to opiulbn of Attorney-General."

“Robert Stanley, comniltted Jan. 2, 1014; pardoned by

Lieiitenant-Governor March 14; sentence, four mouths. Why discliarged, purdoned for ft-iniiiy reasons as set forth in petition. Note, contrnry to opinloii of Attorney-General."

“Ernest White, committed Feb. 4, 1914; pardoned by

i.icutenant~Govcrnor May 2; sentence, four mouths. Why discharged, piirtloned for family reasons as set forth iii petltioti. Note, contrary to opinion of Attorney-General."

Those who heard Mr Scliiirtntin's quotation from Mr

Rogers' letter can find out for thi-inselves by looking over thc jail records whether the above excerpts are true and what reliance is to be placed upon Mr ilavld Sr-liurmau, who knew, or upon the memory of Hon. Benjamin Rogers. who might have forgotten.

lt is a comparatively easy matter for ti man. prtivirlcrl

lic is permitted nntl gets ri hearing in a chiircli, to call another man ti liar when he is not present to tlefetitl hini- solf, but we do not suppose for a moment that the people of Beach Point or of any part. of the Fourth District of King's County are going to bo lnimliiigged by any siich hypocrisy and iuiiirepresentatlon as was inflicted upon tlicni on Tiicstla_v night under' the guise of temporaiicc.

Hon. Murdoch Mt-.l(innon is known lhrouglioiit tho

district. There ls no man in public life in this provin<-c who has ti cleaner retforrl ciilior as it rnan or an ii politician and his supporters will, we feel asiuircd. stand clnst-.r than over to him becaiiso of the t-tinipalgii now waged iigalnst liittt in personal spite and unlmus.
