DOMINION DAV. I

This is Canada's fifty-fourth blrtbtiuy and we have good (‘H1188 to celebrate the day with grati- tude and thanksgiving. we iuen and women of today have seen our beloved country plunge- iuto l. world shaking war, freedom and

civilization threatened ;and we have seen her emerge a full grown nation, scarred and wounded. it is true. but victorious, holding her head proudly side by sine with the greatest nations in the world. This we have seen within tne past six years and we have soon the word CANADA written in Setters of gold on the pages of history- We are justly proud of our country. proud of its. growth. proud of ls sons and proudcr still of th-a mor- al and spiritual strength it llll\ de- veloped in the severe test from which it has emerged.

Do we, of today, many of whom have witnessedthe birth or this dominion realize the development achieved in ‘these fifty-four years"

In 1867 when the provinces of today were colonies, when the whole country west of the Great Lakes was an unknown viilldernoss inhabited iqy Indians and wild animals ,tihe settled p‘)?- tions of tbolcountry had IIGIWQEIJ them 2.278 miles of railway; tn- day we have 88.896 miles.

At Confederation the paid up

separate

capital of our banks “'08 r little‘

over 30 millions: today it is 12s 1-4 millions. _

.At Confederation, we had less th ’4.000 post offices; today we biz‘; 1.2.251.

At Confederation the capital in- vested in manufactures was 78 millions; today it is over three billions.

At Confederation the agricultur- al exports of all Canada amounted to $12,871,055; last year they amounted to $416,122,771.

At Confederation our mineral 0X- Dvrls were aibout $10,000,000; today they are valued at $217,000,000.

iAt Confederation we had no tele- phones; iast year we had 724500

Canada produces 90 per cent. of the world's cobalt. 88 per cent. of its asbestos. 85 per cent, of its nickel. 32 per cent. of its pulp- wood 20 percent. of its lumber, 20 per cent. of its cured fish‘, 18 per

cent. of its oats. i5 if)" ‘Jem- “I “S

‘potatoes. 12 per cont. of its sliver.

11 1-3 per cent. of its wheat 11 per cent. of its barle)! 4 DB1‘ 99m- Ug its gold, 4 ‘per cent. of its c011‘ per.

'l‘his list could ‘he extended 11'- mnst indefinitely and would Show the similar growth all along the line, '[‘hc point however is not so much the ilevclopment that has been but the limitless possibilities Yet in store. We have but touched the fringe of our natural resources and what has been done is but of

yesterday. Thc past ten 1'9"“ have seen more growth and more development than .thc previous forty years and greater things are

yet in store.

We have good cause for Jubil-ant- ly celebrating this our fifiY-ffiilriii iiirtiiuiiy. Let it iie i1 day of tiliiflk- fulness and of rejoicing for we are yet in our early childhood as a nation and iWe have unlimited op- portunities and resources yet to be exploited.

—-—- SERIOUS INCONVENIENCE

iA serious inconvenience ls being imposed upon the travclling public through the contractors neglecting to indicate what roads are imPHS-‘i- ‘able on account of bridges or cui- verts being open. On Wednesday last several auto iparties from Cliar- lottetown on their way to Muipeque to attend the unveiling of the monument there were obliged to

‘retrace their joumey in some cases

a. distance of five miles because there was nothing t0 indicate that the road they were taking was im- passable.

If the contractors are negligent in this matter it is the duty nf the road overseer of the district to see to it that the travelling llllbll’! are protected. and if the overseer Ilfifzlects his duty the (‘ommisislon- er of Public Works should see to it. Complaints are being received every day with respect to bridges

being left open. some of them for weeks at a time, to the great in-

convenience of the public, and es- pecially of strangers who have 11o

lmeans of knowing what roads are closed.

‘We trust this matter will ho at- ‘tended to at once as there arc many complaints and many good ,causes for complaint.

The typical Liberal is happy, ex» "beriilllly 111111111’. or pretends to be, 118911018 out from hie hldin-g place to the distant fields oi‘ the West where in the good old days he was “monarch of all he surveyed. and his right there was none to dis- pute." In i-lic (lays of the popular Laurler, when the name or word Liberalism was the unfailing talis- man in those regions, and when theirs Premier Sifton of the Pro- giram in which they did not fear the confidence of the people, the Great North West with its free trade doctrines was politially theirs. Permler Siftnn oi‘ the Pro- vince of Alberta, an able and strong man. could at that time enter into Ulmost any constituency and carry the Liberal standard on to a deci- sive victory. When Union Govern- llke a great many other noble Liberals, rising above his puriy and party interests on behalf of his country, he was elected for Medicine Hat, as a sup fitter of the Union Government by an overwhelming majority. He was not opposed by a Conservative Indeed even under ordinary condi- tbns it would have been foolhardy tn have done sn. the riding being preponderatingly Liberal. He was however opposed by a Laurier Lib- oral and a third independent candl- fllte was also in the field. over which he was elected by a plurality I 3,1101 votes. it QQ pronouneedly Liberal was l constituency thsLin 191i, when Robert Borden swept the coun-

A Parm- ers candidate. craving for free trade, free wheat and free every- thing l'or themselves, and no work or profit. BUT THE WHOLE LOAI) OF NATIONAL TAXATION FOR THE EAST, was bidding l'or the farmers‘ vote, of which tvro thirds of the riding consisted. Besides them, as their allies, they had the whole Liberal forces whom they had deposed from their prestige and position’ to oppose the Govern mont candidate whose policy could nut be made sectional to meet their wishes. and so the expected hap- pened in the election of the Grain Grower's candidate. Apart from the natural conditions, embodying the fact that the riding was always strongly anti-Government, the cam paign carried on by the Progras - sive leader, Hon. T. A. (‘irerir was most vicious in its misrepresenta- tion 01' the Government. of which Premier Meighcn was unable to be present to give answer.

The feature of the thing is in the pretended satisfaction oi‘ the Liberals over the situation. True enough it wus the Conservative party that put them out of business in 1911, but since then another change has taken place. The Bor- den Government did not wipe Libe-

The King and Queen of Spain are soon to i|l‘l‘l\‘8 in London. They‘ are immensely popular with all sorts and conditions of men. and the women, of course, ad-oro the Royal couple especially Alfonso, says a London uu-itcr. There is a [itissibiliiy of a Royal polo team being arranged for an afternoon at lHurlinghaiu. it. would consist of the King of ‘Spain. thc Prince of Wales, the 1)u.ke of York and Prince Henry. Alfonso 1ilays always at lllurlinghtim, whiic Prince Henry is especially good at the game. lie is plucky sportsman, and the best horseman among the King's sons. The Prince o1 Wales is not so good at polo as he is riding over the hurdles.

Few people roalizc that King Al- fonso is now the stiuior monarch of the world. Ho. has been King for thirty-five years-An fact ever since he vrns horn. mina has been ruling llollnnd ior thirty years, otherwise the few crowned heads that remain in [Europe arc more "infants" in tho number of their “ruling” years to the Spanish iucnarclx. King Alfonso is very kocn on seeing the Amcri~ can team play in the test matches at Hurlingham and it is one of his special ambitions to play against them during their stay in London.

Although "postponemcnts" arc thc fashion just. now, it seems like- 1‘. that tho yachting season will bc a fairly immovable event. in yachting UIITIOS in London lhc King's cutter Britannia is in race at. the Southend Regatta on July 15 and 16. The course on the first day will be in tlic Thames estuary

to Harwlch Royal Yacht

sail from Southend and then join the club for the regatta.

King Gcorge is expected to take part personally in both races’ and the excitement concerning the events is at fever heal in both these waterside towns. if ‘His Majesty attends, the races will as- sume historic importance. for it is said that it. will be the first occa- sion ‘on which a reigning monarch has taken part in a yacht r1168 ill the Thames since King (Jiiflriefi ll and then Duke .of York raced between Greenwich and Gravesend.
