. Theliprinciple is wrong and most of the fault lies with us who are looking on with the interest either of parents 0r spectators. We are sugar coat- ing the pill of study for the children, smoothing away difficulties which it would beimuch more wholesome for them if obliged to smooth for themselves.

T

i

' , a hniciin Liberal ranks is assuming an amus- ing as we l as an ugly aspect. To put a stop to the in- dignation meetings and smooth over the ruffled feel- ings throughout the country is now the great and only aim. The condition is fittingly portrayed in that old and familiar picture entitled “Keeping out the Tide,” in which a few Lilliputians are frantically ply- ing their pitchforks against the rising flood.

. The“ Patriot, with one hand, is stroking down the ruffled feathers of the deceived electors, with a ‘Fsteadv now, you are happy, the sky is beautifully blue; the flowers are lovely, just be quiet and,you’ll feel better when we have bled you,” and with the other abusing, cursing, threatening the “anarchists," the “Bolshevists,” the “agitators,” of their own par- ty who dare tell them they have deceived and are de-

The Patriot’s efforts, however, are only amusing but an‘ ugly feature has developed in the organized effort,being made to throttle the indignation meet- ings which are being held throughout the country. The affair at Sturgeon last Wednesday night, a" re- port of which appeared in yesterday's Guardian, was a disgrace to the province as well as to Liberalism. That “member of the Liberal party, or of anyparty should be permitted, with the assistance of a gang of kindred spirits, and a conveniently deaf chairman,

to doiffiiiate, insult and bulldoze a meeting and pre- I

vent the carrying out of the purpose for which it was called, is surely adding insult to injury.

, Little better perhaps could have been expected from Mr. Hessian but, following as it did, a similiar occurrence at Cape Traverse when Hon. W. M. Lea did, the honors, and by occupying the platform for

an hour and a half and with the aid of a sympathetic '

chairman, succeeded in frustrating the purpose for which the meeting was called, it looks very much like, concerted action on the part of the scared gov- ermnentfi r = "

Itis a species of action, however, that, if we mis- talqe not, the people will not tolerate, Deceived and duped before the election, shamefullv wronged by subsequent legislation, they are not likely to permit those who wronged them to prevent, by bullying arld intimidation, the free expression of their opinions at public pipetings.
