PROVINCIAL EXHIBITIUN

Tomorrow the Provincial Exhibition opens at

Charlottetown and if the \veather man acts as nicely as he has during the past two or three weeks it will no doubt be the biggest eidiibition ever held in Char- lottetown. There are many reasons why this should be our best exhibition. \\'c have probably the largest and best crop ever harvested in the province; our crops have been produced along more scientific and advanced lines than heretofore; the results of the ex- pert teaching which we have had the advantage of in the past few years will be looked for by our fHl'm€l'§ and altogether we have a right to look for great im- provement in our grains, roots, fruit, etc~

Our live stock also has been developed in recent

years as never before, so that in this line also we have good grounds for expecting a better show of animals- than in any previous year.

The Exhibition Association has been fortunate in_

securing additional attractions on the race track. Al fpee-for-all trot and pace class is an attraction which lovers of the turf have not enjoyed in several years, and this one feature alone is eagerly looked forward to by horsemen and lovers of real sport.

As to the other attractions which usually grace-

or disgrace, according tovfhe view of the spectator- the midway and the show ring, \ve have no doubt that ample provision has been made to amuse visitors. \\'ith clean, irliolesonie amuseinents no fault can be found and we have sufficieiit faith in the management i to believe that they will permit nothing unclean orl nnwholesonie on -the grounds.

There will be among the socalled attractions, no

doubt, the usual contingent of fakirs, professioiial, and amateur, that is, those who set up their standsf with the deliberate purpose of “doing” the uniiiitia- tcd, and those of ourselves who will deliberately go to those stands for the purpose of “doing” the pro-

fessionals. ;l`he chances are that some of us may get :i ten dollar bill and a cake of soap for a dollar, per- haps for a qiiarier, but there are many chances to one that llie other fellow gets the _dollar and we shall be more than ordinarily lucky if we get the cake of soap. li is his business to get the dollar; we are but ama- teurs at the game; our practice of one day in the year at playing the shell and pea game cannot be expected to inaich the experience of the nian who plays it at all the exhihitioiis. So if we lose our dollar, if we cannot “do” the fakir we must not be disappointed, or r get iiiad about, or go and complain to the police. We l iunst just pocket our cake of soap and get what con- 'solation we can from the fact that the fakiri did to,

US Wllilt we triedto rio to him~ \Vith a thorough`i.1`ll-N in the opinion that Washington has exhibited the

rlcrstanding of our relations to the fakir and his to us ' there should be nothing but goofl will between us.

The exhibition is a school, the farmers and house-'

kcepers’ examination (lay when prizes will be awar- ded to those who have done well in their classes and when others will profit by what they see, find out all they can about thc processes which resulted in the production of prize winners and prepare to be tliciu- selves prize winners at the next exhibition.

~ lu addition to the farmers’ and hotisekecpers’ ex-,

liibits thi.-ic will be ati exhibit of ivcol and eggs by the ' Live Stock Braiich of the Dominion Department of Agriculture. This alone will be an education to our farmers and one whicli they cannot fail to profit by There will also be the usual exhibits in arts, school work, etc., and altogether the i9i6 exhibition promi- ses to be a great success.

facts.

Following clofely upon the heels of this diplomatic

correspondence is the “rationing” of the neutral coun- tries, Norway, Hollu d. Swv' den and Denmark, that is the restriction of goods to these countries to normal quantities required for home consumption. The NH- nister of Wlar Trade, Lord Robert Cecil judtifies this action by explaining that these countries have re- ceived in seven months ‘what it would take them a year to consume. _ He cites the' case of one neutral nation which ordinarily takes 18,000 tons of coffee in a year and which in seven months of this year has imported 5o,oo0_tons. That this surplus found its way -into Germany would not be denied by the most ciithusiastic neutral in the United States.

There is now “grave concern” in Washiiigton over

this “rationing” process, and it is regarded-and very reasoiiably-as a strange coinciditice that it should have been made operative by the British go- vernineiit so soon after the retaliatory measures en- acted at Washington. The State Department will in all probability filc a protest and it will very likely' be backed up by the neutral countries whose trade is going to be affected. As to what elseniay follow it is useless tocoiijectiire except that in all human probability the llritish governmqnt will takc such measures as in its jiidgiiieiit will be the most effective in keeping contraband goods out of Gcrmany_

That the United States press is not unanimous

wisdom of Solomon in all its dealings since the war began, may be inferred from a recent editorial in the New York llerald which declared that the United States is now without a friend on earth. On the S0l1fll. it says, is Mexico, and there is nothing but hatred for Americans there. To the east is Europe, and the United States’ attitude toward Europe has been one of iiidiffereiiee except to sell goods- (Zer- inany hates the United States lie.,-;tu_;¢ it has sold intinitions of war to the Allies, and the Allies realize that but for the British ‘blockade the United States would have sold just as readily to Germany or Turkey. There is no friendship for the United States in Canada, says the Herald, “because Canada, feels more deeply than do England and France." Iapan is certainly not friendly. “l-low then," asks the paper, “shall wc flggw nearer to those great nations on whose banners vic-

The next step in the development of_this diploma-

itic romance was the reply of the British Secretary of \Var to the American note giving an unequivocal de- nial to the charge that the British authorities had made improper use of United States mails_ He de- clared that trade secrets were as safe in the hands of

partment as they were in the Post Offices of the Uni- ted States. The British Secretary of War suggested

HARD TIME FAULT ,

Sir.-The followinz editorial ls from

the Sentlndl-Orange-of Toronto, on the recent elections in B.C. and throws considerable light on some of the caus- es which brought about the defeat of the late: government. it is well worthy the attention of our Grit frlendsz- "HARD TIMES WON IN B. C." “Tho defeat of the Bowser govern-

Tho Patriot has a very peculiar me-

thod of advertising our suocoebful Islanders abroad. lf it happens to be a Liberal he is lauded to the skies; il' e Conservative he ie' ignored. Dr. W. 0. Rose who'wes elected in Nel- son, B. C., is 'certainly one of our successful leiandiorz. Entering the P. of W. College' at an early age. he graduated with high honors. He first taught school for a few years near hiir- home, then want west and taught in eeverel of the growing Cities of the Province of Manitoba.

There ls something very peculiar

about the Patrlot's idea of defeat or success in elections. As he remarks about Mr. McGowan, he was defeated. BECAUSE he was on the WRONG SIDE. Can lt be possible that the Ed- itor of the Patriot was' on the WRONG SIDE in each and every one of HIS defeats? Can it be possible
