TlllE LATE MAJOR lf.\lf'l‘lil<l'l"l‘

The passing hence of Major Arthur Allison Bartll lett removes from our midst one of the best type of; citizens and one of the most public spirited in the; province. Of a quiet, unobtrusive disposition, never| thrusting himself ‘to the front, Major Bartlett pur- sued the even tenor of his way in our midst for the. past forty years. He was always the same--bright,| optimistic and kind hearted. The amount of good hel and Mrs. Bartlett did amongst people not very well. situated, so far as this w'orld’s gear is concerned, will' never be known; but the number and ‘amount of- their chari-ties in this respect is very considerable

indeed, and appreciated by those who benefited| from their bounty. He had an especially tender hearti where children were concerned, and many a poor| family had their Christmas brightened by thought- ful gifts which SantaClaus, at his instigation, sent them. He never failed to support any movement in the public interest and when called upon to take an active part, only his diffidence kept him from being

prominent in public affairs- Anything he could do "behind the scenes, anything he could do in execu- tive capacity he gladly undertook, and anything. he did undertake was always thoroughly and efficiently carried out. Major Bartlett was not a self-seeker,- nor was he one to shirk his share of responsibility. Never an active politician, yet he consistently sup- ported the Liberal-Conservative cause and strongly favored the National Policy. As President of the Guardian Publishing Company he was most devoted to the duties of his office, conscientiously discharg- ing them, and loyally supporting the party in season and out of season without thought of reward. We

miss him as the wise counsellor and head of this publication; and we shall miss him as a-l-eal-heaictetl friend who always had a word‘ of congratulation when things were going well, and a word of eii- cotiragement in times of difficulty. .

In their hour of sorrow, the sympathy of every‘- ‘one who knew the Major will go out to his widow ‘and tither bereaved ones who have been so suddenly land so unexpectedly deprived of a devoted husband land father. -

The revelations in connection with the admin- istration of the Federal road grant in Nova Scotia are no doubt partly responsible for the suspicion ‘that more money has been expended on the Prince Edward Island roads than the amount of work done ‘would justify. In any case members of the govern- ‘nient have been indulging in suspiciously extrava- 'gant adulation of the amount and quality of the work done. Such roads they tell us, had never be-

l It has been a habit of the Bell government to prepare the public with a little propaganda when something special was about to be launched- Before

dripping with tears over ‘the awful financial condi- tion of the province and it even went so far as to publish a one sided financial statement showing al- leged indebtedness far beyond the limits of truth and reason. Then came the big Taxation Act. Now a few patches of turnpiked road on which gangs of men were working all summer, have been glorified into a monument for the Bell Government. Possibly this is because they did nothing else which would furnish an excuse for crowing; possibly the cost is beginning to loom out of proportion to the size of ‘the monument, but it is a fact that when the Patriot rooster takes a fit of strained and discord- ant crowing there is an egg somewhere in the vici- nity ready to be hatched.

How often must u lle be repent- ed before the uttorer conylnces himself that tho hallucination fs true? For on or about tho huii- dredth time the Patriot has got on’ again its old gag about the fin- aginary “deflclt of two hundred and thirty thousand dollars under the late Government." and with as much sungfrold as lf ft really be- lleved its own fabrication. If such a deficit ever dld exist how quick- ly and how willingly the combina- tlon of decelvers would have rush-

ed to the records and exposed them to tho public gaze to blacken the re

puuitlon of their opponents‘ lf there was a syllable or a. figure of fact upon which they could show n. foundation for this base charge, with what speed would they have responded to the repeated demand ior an honest and independent nud- lt of the piibllc accounts, as practi- ced for many years back. upon the lnltlatlve of Hon. Fredk. Peters.

Why dld this custom cease at the first year of the Bell Governments

reign’! Plulnly because by cooked accounts they premeditated to de- ceive the people and libel their predecessors, and still more pliiln- ly because even the four short months of their own mismanage- ment was of such a bungled char- actcr that they dure not let their record be exposed to the light of flay.

They were equally noisy and blatant over the Bank Overdraft at the time they assumed olllce,

It ls ‘not dry but BenulnelY moist humor from unusually dry source when the Patriot undersl its heading. "FAULT FINDERS A1‘ HOME." says, “What the Belli Government has accomplished ln u‘ little over a year, the Consorvstlve Government would nevor dare to undertake." There ls iin old say- lng that “there is many a true word spoke in a joke, and whether as a joke or fn'the spirit of banter lt is the first substantial truth wc. have for a long time to place to the credit of the Liberal organ.

continues. It says. "The teachers‘

‘school districts have failed to respond It cannot be ;that such failure is due either to penuriousness or lwant of sympathy with the hospital and the work it lS doing, or the work it may be called upon any day to do for them whether they are able to pay, for it or yIlOlZ. Some districts have done splendidly; the others, we feel sure, would do credit to themselves ~ if songone or more live residents would take the - matter in hand. Our province has a name for ge- ‘ nerosity in every good cause; the name belongs to the province generally and no section of it would knowingly place itself in the black list if the cause were brought to it personally. .We trust this will be done at once for the credit of those districts that c so far, doubtless through neglect, have failed to re- . port. eThe burden of maintaining the hospital should be equitably borne by all. Those able to pay for treatment in the hospital do so but there are many

j-who cannot- pay. Their lives are just as precious p as those of the fortunate who can

(payand it would be an everlasting disgrace if the oqst of our life- saving institutions should be closed to he poor.
