FRIDAY, AUGUST 13, 1915.

siii iioinnirs i.oNi>oN wiziconi-:

The visit of the Prime Minister, Sir Robert Borden, to

England at this time is of unusual interest Mid 1mD0\`UmC° to the Dominion. Few men in the British Empire are more welcome in the imperial ctillifal than 15 Premier Borden. Events have more than justified his naval nid policy and have proven the far-seeing 911118sm11“s111D Of his itttitude toward imperial affairs both in QDD0Bm°n and lutterly as leader of the Government. British states- men were quick to appreciate the change which the fall of the Laurier Government meant to the destinies of the Empire. The change itself was exemplified il the meas- ure of naval aid which the Borden Government DTODOSGG. and which Canada would have given, but for the misuse by Laurier of his majority in the Senate.

British statesmen are able to discuss Imperial matters

with Sir Robert Borden without reserve. The conduct of Sir Wilfrid Laurier at the various imperial Conferences when Imperial co-operation in one form or another was under discussion, did not encourage an absolutely free communication in regard to matters of highest llnperiill importance. Fortunately the Dominion is now represent- ed by a man of quite another type. 'l‘he word and prin- ciple of co-operation have replaced the word autonomy, while thc principle of autonomy continues to be as sacred and as well-protected as ever it was. The unwillingness of Laurier finds no place ln the attitude of Sir Robert Borden, who goes to England anti to London, a real leader of the Canadian people, able and ready to express truth- fully and clearly their uims and their aspirations, able by reason of his great ability to contribute thoughts and suggestions of real value to ii discussion of inter-Imperial affairs. ..,.. _ .. , __ ..._ __

With Sli' Robert Borden the British Ministers know

tlicy can speak fully and freely on all sulijccts of Imperial moment. It is good for Canada that there is at the head of (laiiatlinn affairs it niiiii who has never forfeited his right tu speak for all Canada, and to expect the fullest share of confidence in imperial deliberations.

MR. BELL AT MALPEQUE

Mr J. H. Bell has recently bobbed np serenely in local

'politics nfter having been duly slated for the Senate by 'thc Grits ol’ Prince who wished to shelve him. He is in- tlustrlously acting as his own press agent and utilising both the Qucen’s and l’rincc Grit organs for his own particular eiids-not the ends ol’ the party, be it remembered.” `

The Farnier gives what purports to be Mr;Bell's speech

at thc Malpeque meeting, and it differs somewhat from the Patriots report. lt states, moreover, that the hall was hull' filled. As ii matter of fact, we ure assured, there was a full hall. What the Farmer neglects to report is that Mr Bell appeared there without invitation, but by courtesy was invited to speak. it also neglects to say that in his attack on the Goveriinierit on the Oyster lensing question, Mr Bell mot with scant sympathy and if the Premier did not devote very much time to this phase of Mr Bell's speech. it was because lie was speaking to nn audience who could take the weight of Mr Bcll's assertions and who knew, as we have already shown. that they were exaggerated and n perversion of the facts. As we have previously stated, the whole oyster question _was fully thrashed out over a year ago at zi joint meeting of the representatives of the Fisher-

meii's Association and representatives of the Federal und Local Governments held in Charlottetown. At that meet- ing, the fisliermeii's grievances were reduced chiefly to (1) that a certain quahaug bed was leased to an oyster company; (2) that the bay did not have sufficient protec- tion. As to the first grievance, it turned out that at the time the quuiiaug bed was leased, it was not known to be in existence, and the fishermen were assured that it would be opened for fishing, which was accordingly done lost year. As to thc second grievance, the Superintendent ol’ Fisheries, Mr Found, who was present, took notc of ths complaint and gave assurances which have since been carried into effect. To take this matter up ugiiiii and follow Mr Bell's second and extended report in the Farmer and expose his many exaggerations would be going over ground which has been many times covered. To refer to only one, it may be suid flint the Government has already intimated that if the fishermen will agree to have the public fishing season opened on September lst, the Local Govern- ment ls willing and always has been ready to make the re- commendatlon.

At 9- meeting of fishermen held some time ago in Char-

lottetown, the large majority voted against such a recom- mendation. It is well known that the oysters shipped by private companies in September do not interfere with the liiter market, but simply take the place of oysters that used to be brought into Quebec, Montreal lind Ottawa from the United States, thus helping to keep the American oyster from our market. ,

As to the l~‘armer's statement that thq Liberal party is

the friend of the oyster fishermen. we would Mk the Farmer to explain the leases of oyster. gound given to political supporters by the Liberal Government and the 450 other such lessees, some ol' them the best oyster ground in Grand River, which would have been conceded only that tha Liberal Government found out they had no power to grant them?

It is quite evident Mr Bell is feeling sore nt the disas-

trous effect of his first appearance before a mixed audience in Malpeque and ls attempting by press agency report; to minimise its effects.

Both the Farmer and the Patriot wisely refrain from

mentioning the ciistlgatlon suffered hy Mr Bell at the hands oi’ Hon. Mr Mathleson, to the great delight of the audience. who saw Mr Beli's many inaccuracies and mls-~ representations pillorled by the Premier. Mr Bell, instead of again coming out in the open, seeks to serve his pd;-pose by Uiilliiiis f0l‘ reporting purposes the editorial columns of the Patriot and the Farmer: to such depths have ‘our

, contemporaries fallen. < 1

act as a shield. It is made to be readily detachable from its handle. A 'little to one side of its centre it is provided with an opening slightly larger than a riffs barrel. Through this the soldier can thrust hisrifle, the hole being sufficient- ly large to enable .him to aight- it. With the blade driven vertically into the ground, the rifle rests on the lower wall' of this opening and thus has its weigtli easily supported. While crouching behind the blad¢"iii firing the soldier is amply protected. - ,'_,\' _Q __ \ _

This device is continually-in use.on the firing line in large

numbers. it is one of the' few inventions made since the opening of the war and almost immediately and extensively put into use.

The army and navy officials of Britain, France, Italy,

Canada and the United States, as well as the patent offices of these countries are being continually flooded with thou- sands of inventions for ull possible uses in this great war, and it is highly probably that one result of the war may be the production of miiny really- valuable inventions which would otherwise never have come to'llght.

PATRIOT MQREPRESENTATIUN

Wltli its usual disregard for accuracy the Patriot comes

out yesterday with a challenge to the Guardian based on gross niisrepreseiitations. Our contemporary says: “The Guardian states that'the land tax and the road tax paid under the Conservatives amounts to $47,-131," and having put this assertion into the mouth of the Guardian it pro- ceeds to demolish it. The Guardian did not muke any such assertion. Our contemporary knows this as well as we do, but lt does not suit its purpose to acknowledge the truth. In our yesterday's issue we dealt with the revenue account and stated what the farmers contributed last year to revenue compared with what they contributed to revenue under the Grits. With regnrd to commutation labour the farmers are pnld $1.50 per day, tin increase of 50c. per day on the rote for labour 'under the Grit regime. The farmers prefer this system of maintaining their roads, as it is work they can very well do in the off-season, and it has resulted in very much improved roads as everyone, biirriiig the Patriot machine, admits. The farmers were never better oil’ than they are to-day, never had better roads, never better markets, never better prospects. Not one of them would go back to the rotten system of the Grit Government, when they were compelled to pay road taxes which went into the exclieuuer nt Charlottetown and never returned to the districts from which they were taken. The Grits pursued the Turkish method of grinding money out of

be rolling in ill-gotten gain, at the expense of the honest' farmer who paid his taxes as it matter of course. i‘hc

farmers know exactly how these matters stand. and iilt-i't-ly,

laugh at the attempts of the Patriot to misrepresent the facts.

PREACHING AND PRACTISING

The following is one of the most effective sermons we

have read for some time and it is from “Wall Street Journal:"

“A preacher in Brooklyn, the Rev. Dr. Newell Dwight

Hillis, the successor of Henry Ward Bceclicr and Lyman Abbott at the ugly old Plymouth Church. which is almost a national slirliie, gave letters of recommendation to two

lumber company they floated, and ills liability was of course limited to the amount of’ his stock. The enter prise was i1 failure. No one knows exactly how much was involved, but Dr. Hlllls, over it period of four years. paid off the stockholders to the extent of $55,000 and two notes, the amount of which is not specified.

“Sir Waiter Scott and Mark Twain did likewise, and

Dr. Hillis, with a publicity he-probably docs not desire,

joins the company of two very brave and lionortiblc gentlemen.

10| not laboured, the text not elaborated, yet

A woiui or WARNING 1 '

We would respectfully direct the attention of the Patriot

and other contemporaries to the fact that the War lliexis- ures Act and the Orders-in-Council passed in iiccordinice therewith provide for it penalty of $5,000 fine oi' imprison-

ment for any term not exceeding five years, or both, for _ contraventions, and that provision is made prohibiting thc publication of certain specified kind of news and reports. We submit that the Patriot‘s renewed attack on the coni- mittee, coiisistliig of Mr Aitken, Mr Rattenhury, Mr Lyons and others, having charge of the lsland’s gift of oats. comes . under this ciitegory. There is seemingly no object in view other than to cause internal disaffectlon, and this is liornc out by the fact that the Patriot calls for information about the gift of outs which has already been asked for and laid over in the Legislature. This is too serious ti matter for our contemporary to attempt to make political capital

out of.’or about which to stir up internal trouble.
