What Price Liberal Pledges?

The Summerside Liberal press contains two _, ements issued on the authority of Premier

(,‘,t;\.\l1=13El.L, both of which reveal flagrant viola-

t1:6§ns of Liberal pre-election promises. . '3 It is unnecessary to remind the electors that

tfie first and foremost Liberal pledge was to bal- ance the budget “withoiit additional taxes, \vith- oflt a cutting of salaries, without even a serious curtailment of any necessary service." The bud- gfit remains unbalanced, but salaries except of

Government members have been cut right and left; and now the amusement tax has not only

bfien increased, but the enforcement has been

tightened up to include “all amusements, with- 0|}/c exception, including amateur plays." which usually are put on without remuneration to the p§rformers, in aid of hospitals or charitable or- g§iii7.:1tions. The tax increase, says the Premier,

“is not a tax on production of any amusement, b§t is on the person attending the amusement, and the act allows of no exception whatever. ufien the admission price is more than 25 cents.”

2 Another prominent Liberal pledge was to afiilish the system of furnishing Ministers and ofiicials with motor cars. Now, according to Iiemier CAMPBELL, an exception has been made iri-‘the case of the Minister of Public Works. A bus has also been purchased for Falconwood, btjt “flat denial" is made of “the current rumor that the Government has purchased or is pur- cfiising any automobiles for officials.”

:‘ Instead of dealing with “riimours" it would hive been more to the point if the Premier had efgalaincd on what principle lion. Mr_ Mc- Ii4'l‘\'RE should be allowed to retain a govern- rrlent motor car when his colleague, the l\linister of Agriculture, and the officials of that import- all department, are deprived of the same priv- iEge. Are agricultural interests of less import- arjce, or is it just a case of ;\lr. l\lClNT\’RE'S azoirclupois necessitating vehicular accommoda- tiim to and from his office? [n that case, the Iiberal election platform provides that he should bay his own car.

This shabby treatment of Mr. DENNIS is an ifsiilt to the agricultural industry over which lie pysides. It was bad enough to make him sit as azbaclt-bencher in the Legislature, among the 11311-portfolio members while the seats of the " ig Four" were moved up into the spotlight; bfl this latest manoeuvre strikes at something nfbre than the Minister's dignity—-it definitely rgegates his department to a mean and con- t ptible position in the public service.

3 Judging from the federal uneinployincnt gmnts which the Premier enumerated recently tlfere will be little doing this year in the matter ct new road-work; and the best thing Mr. l‘v£cIN'r\'R1-: can do with his car is to hand it over ti Mr. DENNis and let the farmers get the lien- efit in frequent visitations from their Minister. This, of course, would not save the Liberal elec- tion pledge from being broken but it would rep- resent a fairer distribution of the spoils of office.

Beauhariiois paid the late Mr. Sll-‘TON $50,- 000 as lobbyist on its behalf.

‘ Bordivs was en fete yesterday in connec- tion wit-h the dedication of the new Boy Scout Hall, the fruit of the loving labour of Mr. CEREIT1 and Mrs. RODGERS in the interest of Scouts and Cubs.

LE'l".I'lNG THE MENTAL PATIENT TELL HIS STORY AND 80 SEE HIMSELF

When a patient: consults is physic- fan. the physician is not satisfied with what the examination reveals. but asks the patient 3 number of questlons and encourages him to tell all about his symptorns—where the patn is located. whether the pain is sharp or dull, just when it comes on. what seems to make lt. worse and what seems to relieve or at least. make it easier to bear. If it is not 8. pain then lt may be a “heavi- ness", 9. discomfort, or other feeling that, should not be present.

By putting together the objective symptoms, the symptolna he found by the examlnatlon—the tempera- ture, the pulse, any sounds that shouldn't be present, any lumps that are not nonnal, the blood pressure, the richness of the blood in iron or lime or both, and then learns the subjective symptoms from the piitlent, as mentioned above, the physician makes up his mind just what. ailment. ts present, and treats the patient accordingly. But this, until recently, has not been the method of examining a mental patient. The usual physical examination was made but if the

talk about his fancies, his difficul- tles, his desires, he was not en- courngcrl to any extent to tell every- thing that was on his mind. To- day however the physical examin- ation is made as usual but the pat- lcnt. ls encouraged to tell everything. If he seems to be “sl;lesteplng" or avoiding B. certain subject. he ls kindly but flrmly questioned along these subjects.

This means that the patient really does most of the talking and once started will "let loose" and speak about conflicts. dlfllcultles, and other subjects he has heretofore kept. hidden.

Dr. W. W. Peek in the New Eng- land Journal of Medicine says that while this method requires patience and skill on the part. of the phy- sician “it brings out things which the patient wishes to talk about but is unable to put into words, and also what he does not wish to face squarely and tries to avoid. These things, by his telling of them. straighten thernselves out to a great. extent, in his mlnd. The patient has seen something of himself instead of having been told something about lilmself. by the physician.

Dr. Peck further states that the general practitioner, the family doctor, can help a consldei-able number of these cases, without the need of calling the mental special- ist lnto consultation.
