MONDAY JUNE 7. 1915. '

OUR NEW (i0VERNOR g

- Mr. l<‘. K. Bennetts, Assistant Clerk of the Privy Coun-

cil, arrived in Charlottetown on Saturday night, with the commission appointing Mr. Augustine Colin Macdonald Lieutenant-Governor of Prince Edward Island in succession to Mr. Benjamin Rogers, whose term of office has ex- pired.

This appointment will be received with universal ap-

proval throughout the Province, as Mr. Macdonald has had a distinguished public career, and belongs to a family which has been long and honourably associated with the affairs of the Island. Mr. Macdonald first entered the local Legislature in 1870, for the third district of King’s, and in 1873 was returned as a member for Klng’s County to the Houseof Commons. He was again returned in 1878 and sat till 1887. He was subsequently elected in 1891 and 1896, sitting till 1900, when be was defeated. He fought altogether eight Dominion elections, being returned five times. Mr. Macdonald is the son of Mr. Hugh Macdonald, who immigrated from Inverness-shire, Scotland, settling in Three Rivers, and was born at Panniure on June 30, 1837. Mr. Macdonald is married, his wife being Mary Elizabeth, sixth daughter of the late Hon. John Small Macdonald, who will discharge the duties of hostess at Government House, assisted by their daughter, Miss Helena C. Macdonald. It is interesting to recall `that Mr. Macdonald’s brother, Sena- tor Andrew A. Macdonald. was Governor from 1884 to 1889.

The new Governor will be sworn in to-day, the oath

being administered probably by the Chief Justice, Sir W. Sullivan.

The retirement of Mr. and Mrs. Rogers from Govern- ment House will be regretted by a large circle of friends, MPS. Rogers €SDC0iH1ly having intimately identified herself with all movements of a charitable, benevolent and pat- riotic nature, connected with the Province.

i.i|n:RALs' iu:c3Ro or DEFENCE

The following record of Liberal policy ln the defence

of the Empire will be of interest at the present time:

ed not one solitary sixpence to the naval defence of the Empire.

In 1907 Sir Wilfrid Laurier told the Imperial Con-

ference in London that he was prepared to vote against a resolution urging the Overseas Dominions to take some slinrc in the burden of Naval Defence.

in 1009 Sir Wilt`rid's hand was forced by the Conser-

vative Party, and despite a declaration that he did not think (fauada “had been remiss in hcr duty to the Em- pire iii the past." he was compelled to acknowledge the I)ominion`s responsibility in regard to Imperial Naval Defence.

Sir Wilfrid moved a vague and`indolinite resolu-

tion, in which he promised action.

Several objectionable clauses in the resolution

were dropped at the earnest solicitation of Sir Robert Borden.

Six Liberals who discussed the resolution declared

flint Canada was under no legal obligation to aid the Motlierland: contended that Canadians were doing "all flint they were morally bound to do without tiontribut- ing towards naval defence; euloglzed the Monroe Doc- trine as the rczil protector of Canada, and litiitodfxft (fan- ailiaii independence.

Iii 1910 Sir Wilfrid Laurier refused to accept tho

Adiiilralt_y'g suggestion that Cainida establish one Fleet llnit on the I’nciiic. . _ _

instead, he decided to build two sets of light cruisers,

too weak to be elfectivc, one on thc Pltcific and thc other on thc Atlantic. " ' `

Sir Wilfrid Laurier insisted that tlicsc ships would

not he available for the defence of the Empire as u whole, that they would not necessarily take part in "all of l~}nglaiid's wars." ~

Several prominent Liberals openly talked of Canadian

lndepciideiice, and Laurier reiterated and emphasized his assertion that the Canadian navy might hold aloof from certain of the Enipire’s wars.

Laurier promised naval dockyards to four different

seaport towns; received tenders for the construction of

cruisers, but owing to_a fear of losing certain votes in Quebec pidgcon-holed the offers. and refused to let the contracts for his absurd and inadequate programme.

in 1911 the Liberals were turned out of office without

having attempted to carry out the promises they made in 1909. p '

in 1912 they sneered at and questioned the good faith

of the Admiralty when it' requested that Canada should provide for the common defence of the lihnplre three of the largest ships which "sclence could build and money supply. ' __ _ A fn-i`-.-il.

They scolfed at Sir Robert Boi'den's declaration that

the Empire was faced with au, em' i‘gency.'-_" ` ‘

In the House of Commons theirfvoted for the following

propositions- . » _

(1) Against the construction of three Drendnoughts

to be placed at the disposal of the Admiralty for the common defence of the Empire, ' That instead $35,000,000 be voted iii"‘l.` lufllb num, to be applied over a series of yearn toward the immediate construction in Cana4fa`. "df 'two Fleet Unite, which would cost at least $100,000,000. That the money needed for naval expenditures be not voted in a lump sum, but by yearly vote. That Canada “should enter actively upon a perm- anent pollcy of naval defence,” and do so "with- out fnrther delay." That nothing ln the way of naval defence be done until after an election had been held. That the bovernment should be condemned for ‘not carrying out a permanent navel policy .et once. ' `

<7) " 'rust nothing siioiiid be acne in the

defence until redistribution bpd’ been

' and en' election- held. """'" ‘

» CITY 00V'ER)iMENT

A correspondent directs our attention to the follow-

ing article in a recent exchange: » . _ lt is very widely admitted that, if citizens take the trouble to elect the properitlnd of“nien', the Commission form of government is a vast improvement over cityf council methods of management. Some idea of tho

success of Commission government is got from ii. recent report of the State auditor of Iowa, as to tho .history of nine cities operated by Commission in the State. For the first time in history it is shcwii that these cities, last year, lived within their incomes. The Federal census has likewise collected figures, with regard to the opera- 1tlon of Commission government. and the results have been equally satisfactory. Of seventy cities so governed, sixty-one were found to be running at less per capita than the average head expense of one -hundred and nine- ty-five cities under different government. But even when the expenditures of Commission cities are higher than others, it is a generally conceded fact that the taxpayers of the former are getting more for their money than they ever received under the old system. "It may be true," is a comment in the Federal census, “that Commission governed cities are not an unqualified suc- cess, but neither is human nature an unqualified success. But the Commission form does furnish an opportunity for good citizens to get good goverunient if they are willing to work for it. The_Clty Council form does not furnish as good material to work upon. The Commis- sion form encourages good citizenship by making it easy for good citizenship to express itself.”

The main advantage in the Commission form of

government over the usual ward system lies in the fact that in the former the voice of the whole city gov- erns and there is a reasonable hope that men especially fitted for government will be selected. Another advan- tage lies in the fact that when so selected and paid a reasonable wage for the work expected and the _time expended, the appointee will have definite duties to per- form and may reasonably be expected to perform these duties.

We do not know any reasonable excuse for the

continuance of the ward system of civic government in any city. it is true that the best man iii thc city may be elected to represent ia. certain ward, but it is equally 'true t-hat he represents only that particular ward, not the city. When he undertakes to suggest improvements outside of his own ward he is liable to be told to confine his attention to his own business.

‘ 1 "If citizens take the trouble to elect the proper kind of

men," to quote from ,our excliaiige. and provided each 'ward has “the proper kind of men," men who canafford to give their time and attention gratuitously to their re- spective wards, the ward system of civic. government would probably be as good as any other. But this is manifestly impossible. Few wards iii any city can call out one or two men of thc necessary qiialiflcations for government and who can devote their tiino gratuitously to civic affairs. The usual result is that the honor and the duty are placed upon those whose chief qualification is their willingness to accept the honor.

Civic government should mean civic, not ward gov-

crnuiciit, and the men selected for thc duty should have a civic, not a ward, outlook. whether they bc paid com- missioners or self-denying city councillors.

These observations have no special reference to

Charlottetown: which is probably as well governed as any city in Canada, but the ward system, wherever adhered to, makes the, representatives the victlins of ward self- ishness and imposes upon the city or town a government ,wliic\hl,_ at best, lis more concerned about the welfare

of ~its'tieveral fwards than of tho city or town as a whole.

surance losses consequent upon the sinking of the “Lusitania” are as follows:-Life, about $650,000; accident, about $760,000; marine, about $6,000,000l; The British War Risk Bureau has $4,800,000 of ‘ the marine insurance loss. t ‘
