LET Tll PEOPLE JUDGE

E .

lil view of the possibility of a provincial election in

the not distant future, and in View HlB0 0f me cmms inade by representative men of both parties for and against.. the present administration, it would be well for the masters of the situation, the electors, to look the whole BllU8»ll0ll fairly and squarely in the face, independently Hlwgelller of the claims made by those who wish to retain or to regain control of the Government. No d0l1b\ the 619°'-0" are doing this, and that, independently of all claims. they know exactly what they are going to do about it. The electors' in this province, taken all ill all, are as intelligent and far-seeing us those of any country in the world. They are not gullible and are not likely w be stamlisded into hasty action by any gold brick devices or flowery futures held up by aspiring oflice seekers. They know the past and the present by actual experience and they will use the lamp of experience in laying out their future course.

Two parties are seeking the suffrage of the electors.

Each has a record. \Vbat each has done in the past it is likely to do in the future. The record of the past four years is still suiiieiehtly fresh to he remembered la detail- The leaders of the party are still before the people. What they promised to do, if elected, is so well remembered that any pre-election promises broken could be held up at a lnoment’s notice as a warning to the people not to trust them again. On follr different occa§i0llS they h8V€ Sal in annual parliament and on each occasion their pre~election promises and their yearly stewardship were publicly re- viewed in the presence of their political opponents and publislled broadcast before the people. These animal reviews are remarkable for this: That neither the ad- lllillistratioll as a whole, the Premier, nor any of his fellow-members were charged with having broken a single promise made to the people either before or since the election. Premier Mathieson has prided himself on the fact that he never made a definite promise nor permitted one to be made on his behalf that was not reasonably certaill of fulfilment, and at each of the four sessions held during his administration this record has been held up as a challenge that was never disputed.

What was done under Premier Matliieson's administra-

tion ill the development of agriculture, in looking after our public works. in improving our school system, in pro- viding cheaper school books, in getting the people together tllrougllout the province, in improving our telegraph and telephone service, in securing our rights from the federal government, and ill the many other ways in which the gloom and discouragenlent of twenty years of Liberal mal- adniinistratlon had been converted into optimism and hope- fulness, all thesc things are fresh in the nlinds of our people. Revenue and expenditure. which had never met for fifteen years became acquainted witll each other to the advantage of the former and for the first time in all these years there were surpluses to our credit without having had to increase taxation. Expenditure was neces- sarily increased, as expenditure must be increased in every growing, progressive business; as it has been increased yearly in all our mercantile and industrial undertakings. Tllat sucll expenditures were not excessive, that they were within the bounds of economy and prudellce we have the word of the Leader of the Opposition wllo, when challenged on the floor of thc House, admitted that he could not place his finger oil a single dollar of expenditure tllat could have been avoided in the interests of the province.

T'hc Liberal party also has a record, a long one alid

a sad one. For twenty years it kept itself in power by promises of “ doing better next time," of securing the rights of the province fronl the dominion, of making revenue and expenditure meet "next year." Every “next year" saw only a repetition of the past year's bungling; lim revenue of the province was squandered -_in Datching ilp the grievances of dlscontented followers, public works were neglected; the schools became ii disgrace and the _vcarly debt of the province increased until bankruptcy stared us in the face alld the long suffering people, dig. gusted and not to he again gulled, tumed ollt 'the wllolc party, leaving only the Leader and one lone follower,

This party is also seeking election. lt has at public

meetings denounccd the “extravagance” of the govern. ment because its yearly expenditures have been in excess of those of the bankrupt regime of former years. It has no leader and there is none in sight; it has no policy* except to abuse aild denounce the Mathieson administra- tion; lt has no plans for the future except rage; into power.

The D€0i>l0 will in all probability be asked shortly to

choose between these two parties, what are they likely to do? We have already referred to the intelligence of

the people, and in that lies the doom of the Liberal aspirants.

No doubt meetings will be held during ths campaign

The one question that the people will demand a definite answer to ls, What would the Liberal party do if ihtrusted with the government that they. did not do before, that the present government has not done? The peopie will

vote blindly. They will want something definite Wzgi do the Liberals propose? '

A cleaning up was bssuii olsvioiis to lm. Ministers

afforded facilities for the investigation, of the`McGreevy and other scandals and the offenders had to psy the penal- ties meted out by Parliament and public opinion. As a result prominent men disappeared from public life, never to return. .

There followed fifteen years of Liberal rule. lllldef

which it was impossible to get charges of wrongdoing investigated. Time and again, from 1900 onward, the Opposition presented to Parliament the cleareilt evidence against members of the House, members of the Cabinet and their political co-workers 'outside of Parliament. But always Sir Wilfrid Laurier used his majority in the House ' of Commons to burk enquiry and refuse adequate or proper investigation. '

The party machine stood between the malefactors and

the country. It was impossible to secure an inquiry of any kind, and as a natural consequence corruption was rampant and men became millionaires in g season. In the absence of light and surgical action the sores festered. Public resources and the' national treasury were exploited as never before. Public opinion was dulled and somnolent because uninformed by investigations that should have been forced.

y With the accessiomof another Conservative Govern- ment, in 1911, it again became possible to pursue the wrongdoers. Again, as prior to 1896, Ministers disdain _tomobilise their Parliamentary majority to shelter ras- calities. ‘As sooir as it appeared that graft had occurred in the hurrygof getting the First Contingent tothe front, the Prime Minister made the path clear for the fullest investigation, --A powerful maiorlty in the House of Commons was no't‘emp`loyed to burk inquiry. No obstacle was placed in the way of the Opposition investigators,

Instead of defending the rascals, the Government helped

toprobe their doings. Instead of following the approved practice of the previous Government and delaying the inquiry before the Public Accounts Committee to the next session of Parliament, Ministers waived all technicalltics and assisted in showing up the wrongdoers. When it became evident that two of his followers in the House were involved, the Prime Minister publicly condemned theni in the presence of their fellow-members and before the country. In addition Sir Robert Borden has got a second investigation under way befoi-lei a Royal Com. mission with a view to punishing the offenders and secur. ing a refund of such money improperly obtained as has not already been retrieved. The inevitable conclusion is that while grafting and rascality have obtained more oi- ie" under the rule of both parties, it is under Conservative governments that nialefactors are hunted down in and outside the party and courageously punished. And surely it is only the duty of Ministers, as servants of the people, to protect the people’s interests.

PATRIOT WRON(i AGAIN

Yesterday's Patriot, under the caption “ Mr Hughes and

the Guardian," gives an exhibition of riglltcous indignation over the fact that in publishing a letter from Mr Hughes in the Guardian we had " emasculated at least half of lt.” As usual our erratic contemporary is wrolig. We “emiss- culated ” the whole of it by simply cutting out the vitupera- tive aild fishwife language which made it characteristically Hughes-like, but which in no way disguised or disfigured the twists. lf points they might be called, which Mi- Hughes had endeavoured to make and which we answered to the satisfaction of all right-thinking men in the same issue. l Mr Hughes’ letter in its un-“emascula,ted" form is pub- lished ill yesterday‘s Patriot, the portions “en'iasculated” by the Guardian being printed in screaming capitals. Those taking the trouble to read and compare it with the' ex- i' purgated version in yesterday‘s Guardian will see that wc deleted no argument or statement made by Mr Hughes. As already stated, we doletedtlle fishwifo and irrelevant - language, and had the Patriot done likewise it would have dolle Mr Hughes a greater kindness than it did in publisll- ing the whole dirty diatribe. We have no intention of following Mr Hughes into the gutter or of lending him or ~ anyone else oilr columns for a mud-throwing campaign. 1' When he has any argument to offer, any definite statemcntf' to make we sllall gladly publish it, but without Hughcsisms.

NOTES

It is strange how many cranks happen to bo Germans.

'l`lle man wllo shot Mr J. P. Morgan knew that hc was striking at an cfiicient friend of the Allies, however.

During the whole war no hostile government has

approached Germany. directly or lildiroctly, with peace proffers.-Norddeutschc Allgemeine Zeitung. Of courso not. All the talk of pcaco tllcre has been has como from German sources,- That heard at Washington emanates from no less a personage than Count Von Bernstorff. The pronouncement of the social democratic leaders at Berlin published in Vorwaerts must have the quasi-approval of the German. government-or it could not have been pub- lished. Nofsuggestions of peace at this time have come from the Allied governments or from anybody wllo is not. consciously or unconsciously. "playing Germany's game." A pro-Kaiser-peace would be at best only all armed truce- as the Kaiser himself so aptly put it in a letter to one of the lllgli personages of the Bavarian court, a. peace that .would serve " as ‘preparation for the futurc"! No intelli- gent friend of humanity wants any such pro-Kaiser peace. --N. ~Y. Herald-. - ~
