EXHIBITION OPENS TODAY. i Guardian extends a hearty

welcome to those who come to- day and those, who have Sh!!!“ come to attend the Exhibition. The formal 096M118 by H15 Hm“ the Lieutenant-Governor will take place in the Exhibition Building t0- nlght when a number of other speak- ers will also address the people- The prospects for a good attendance and for a full exhibition are already 88- sured, providing the weather main- tains the good name it has won for itself during the past week. The whole show this year is expectedto be the best yet held in the Province and the management is to be com- mended for the extra preparations made. The whole Exhibition pro- gram has been practically revolu- tionized, and everything will be on a comparatively new scale. Interest throughout the Provnice has been kept on the alert during the past few weeks, and it is confidently ex- pected that there will be a larger attendance than usual. The history of Prince Edward Island's exhibi- tions has been yearly improvement, it being determined by the manage- ment to surpass each year the achievements of the year before. This continuous improvement has been well maintained and this year with a practically new equipment in grounds, in midway, in a larger racing program and in a larger list of entries in every class there is nothing to prevent the Exhibition being far ahead of any that has preceded it. ; The invitation to be present is extended to the whole Provnice, and to our sister Provinces as well, and we look confidently forward to one of the most enjoyable as well as

have cver held in Charlottetown. THE EVERLASTING IIONK.

GHARLOTTETOWN is, we under- stand, the only city in Canada, worthy of the name of city, which demands by law that autoists honk their horns at every street cross- ing. From the almost continuous noise one would imagine that this honking is perpetrated on approach- ing and leaving the street inter- sections with a few extra blows be- tween. The noise is deafening and no useful purpose. With several cars honk- ing together and coming in different directions it is impossible for the pedestrian to know which side the danger is coming from. There might be some sense in honking just be- fore knocking down a pedestrian, it would give the latter the melancholy satisfaction of knowing that he is about to be hit, and might even give him the chance to jump aside, otherwise their appears no good reason for keeping up the distracting noise in season and out of season. Car drivers should remembe that their business is to so drive at street intersections and elsewhere as not to endanger the lives or limbs of others who are legitimately using the streets. In any case the con- tinuous scream of autos day and night should discontinue and the law demanding it should be repealed and made more in keeping with modern requirements. The new owner of a car may find it pleasing to announce that he owns a car, but this is not of interest to the people. Citizens want safety and peace.

——<-O}-—--—— PABTIZANSIIIP IN POLITICS.

T has frequently been remarked that the people of the Maritime Provinces take their politics too se- riously. The trouble complained of would perhaps be better expressed by saying that they take their par- tinnahip too seriously. Many people re party bound and can see nothing of value or of hope in the party to which they are opposed. This is a nanow and contracted position to take. To be free to express an

At present the com- mon custom is to stand by the party right or wrong regardless of the merits oi the questions upon which the parties differ. We have had many instances of this in our own Province as W911 I15 in our sister provinces. Policies which even the most unsophisticat- ed of electors know to be detrimen- tal to the interests of the country are blatantly upheld by m6 Toni-W‘ ers and supporters of the party which has inaugurated those poli- cies. Those who criticize such pol-

disloyal to their party. We must get over this partizan method. lWIIGII policies and actions of a gov- ‘lerrunent in power are clearly not in the best interests of the country no honest man or woman will uphold them. When methods are employed lto secure election which are not ‘honest, upright and unselfish then it is the dutyof every honest elector to express their disapproval both by word and by vote. Sacred and moral issues are frequently dragged through the political mud for the sake of securing temporary support and the ruse has often succeeded simply because the majority of the people do not take an independent and intelligent view of the situa- tion. Instances might be multiplied of a stampede towards alleged better-

sense and intelligence should make it clear that such proposals are out of harmony with conditions asthey exist. Men and women entrusted with the sacred privilege of the franchise owe it to themselves and to their country to know what they are supporting and why they are supporting it, to weigh carefully the logical conclusion which is to be expected from a. certain course and to vote conscientiously. Wholesome criticism of governmental action and a merciless exposure of deliberate, wrong-doing is one of the great duties of worthy citizenship. In time we hope the unreasoning ad- herence to party for the party's sake will have been discarded by the people of this Province and all Can- ada as a. whole, and questions of public and vital importance will be judged exclusively on their mer- its in their relation to the good of the whole country.

-——-<-o>i__ EDITORIAL NOTES.

The holiday season is now drawing to a close and the best possible use should be made of what remains of the Summer. The Exhibition this week will afford an excellent oppor- tunity for prolonging the enjoyment.

This is Prince Edward Island's great holiday week. and everyone is coming to the Exhibition. The Ex- hibition spirit, like that of the Christmas season, becomes domin- ant, and everyone goes in foragood time, beginning this morning and continuing, to the end of the week.

While our sister Provinces and our neighbors to the South have been sweltering in killing heat, the Garden of the Gulf, during thepalt week has been enjoying the most comfortable kind of warm Summer weather, with just enough rain at night to keep the dust down.

Notes by the Way

THE complaint of Captain Walsh's

widow and daughter deserves in- vestigation. No British subject should be allowed to be molested without just cause or charged, dir- ectly or indirectly, with an offence without their accuser being brought face to face with them. This snoop- erism favored by the Saunders Gov- ernment is ran-British and unfair. Under cloak of its protection the reputation of honest, hard-working God-fearinfl PBODIe may be mined. The legal axiomishould hold good in Prohibition cases-which are not. criminal oflences-as in’all other cases — it is better one hundred guilty persons should go free than that one innocent person should be wrongly nvicted.

A commission of investigation in- to the working of the Prohibition law may not be necessary, but the Attorney-General owes it to his de- partment and to his Government to himself make a thorough inves- tigation into the operations of these secret complaints on which raids are made. Under no circumstances should such raids take place with- out the consent and approval of the Attorney-General. Notwithstanding anything the Prohibition Law may say to the contrary, a British sub- ject's home is his castle and may be defended by force from intrusion by law oillcers or any other one, without legal warrant. Coke laid it down in his 'I'hird Institute that “A man's house is his castle,” and repeated it in Semayne‘s Case that “the house of every one is to him he his castle and o. fortress,” which may be defended by force from at- tack or intrusion without legal war- rant legally procured and legally served upon the occupant. Raids without warrant’ are not only liable to the utmost abuse, but an en- croachment upon the liberty of the subject held so dear by every true Brltcn, sustained in every instance by the highest law courts of the Empire, and protected by force of arms by the -British Government when interfered with by a foreign foe. Under such circumstances, the Attomey-General owes it to the widow of a gallant sea captain to in stigate the violation in her case of this inalienable right of protec- tion of her home, and to see that there are no future violations.

The Prince of Wales was the first Englishman to enter his vigorous protest against the adoption of “Safety First" as a. slogan for gen- eral application. That such‘a pro- test was necessary shows how easy the particular application of a prin- ciple may be adopted for general application, and then what was reasonable and good advice in a limited sphere, become detrimental and wholly unmoral in a general sense. When “Safety First" was or- iginally promulgated it was in the interests of the operating of rail- ways and was advocated on the common sense understanding that it “is better to _be sure than sorry" in carrying out the rules and regula- tions of such undertakings.

But what was particular and per- fectly sound advice in the public in- terest when applied to railways was subsequently adopted as a slogan for all circumstances in life, and to- day "Safety First" is urged by un- thinking people upon everyone re- gardless of circumstances and con- dltlons, reducing life here below to one of inate selfishness entirely op- posed to Christian ethics and British morale. "Safety First" should never be applicable to saving one's skin, one's fortune, one's country, when principle or the safety of others are concerned. It should never be used or applied when the spirit of ad- venture or discovery is affected. It should never be applicable when science is attempting to put a the- ory to the test, or when religion is endeavoring to carry the Gospel to heathen lands.

~ Ell lonm W. DANGER 0F DEAD ITETE

Sometimes dentists get very much annoyed when a patient cornea to them and asks to have certain teeth extracted because the family phy- siclan has advised it as the root can- als which had been flilled showed changes in structure.

The dentist tells the patient that no artificial teeth can ke the place of his own teeth and that the teeth should be treated instead of extracted.

What about this?

Unfortunately, or perhaps fortun- ately, dentists do not agree on what should be done about these “dead" teeth. .

Dr. A. G. Gould of Cornell Uni- versity, commenting on this, says that "there appear to be among the dental profession three groups, the hundred percenters. who extract all dead teeth; a second group who be- lieve that some abscessed teeth can be saved; and a third group who apparently believe that all abscessed teeth can be treated, and rendered safe and serviceable without danger to health or llfe."

In examining Cornell students, he suggested that they get an X ray of all teeth that had root fillings, at least every two years. /

Many of those with these "dead" teeth, as they are called, because the root has been removed, had no pain. no swelling of the gum, or no pain when cold or hot water was taken into the mouth. Yet the X ray show- ed that in about thirty per cent of these cases there was definite evid- ence of trouble in or about the root canal

Many of these teeth were ex- tracted and were found to have in- fection at top of root.

Most dentists have come to the conclusion that there is really not much use trying to save the grind- lng or molar teethat back of- mouth, once abscesses have formed there. In the bicuspid, or teeth between the front and back of the mouth, they are successful half the time, and n the case oi’ the front teeth they are able to save almost all of them. _

Now the point is. as pointed out by Dr. Gould, that “a mouth with- out any natural teeth is perhaps more hygienic and safe to the indi-. vidual than several questionable teeth among sound teeth awaiting a lowering of resistance or an ovq- load of poison or infection, which may be followed with a permanently injured heart, a stiff joint, or chronic rheumatism.

If you have any dead or filled root canals, talk this over with your dentist. Get an X ray taken and show him the films. '

Don't stop your boy's ad- venturous tendency, for it will make a better man of him than will han- kering after a. government job, the motor bike and the jazz band." To the boys the General said: "It is not the spirit of safety first that is wanted. but the spirit of adventure. with a will to see the world, tohelp to keep our heritage, and do noble work in different lands where a car- eer full of interest and variety awaits the man of spirit." All of which is good advice as applicable here as elsewhere.
