PRINCE CUUNTY HOSPITAL

The annual report of the Prince County Hospital. just

issued, is a. document of more than ordinary importance. showing as it does the growth of one of our youngest institutions. For many years the need of a hospital in the western capital was recognised by the few, scouted by the niaii_v and by practically all regarded as financially im- possible. Through the generosity of one of Surnmerside's citizens. Mr Thomas E. Ramsay, the financial difficulty was partly removed by the donation of a. site and a building which at a measurable expense could be fitted up as a firstclass hospital, large enough, it was considered, to supply the needs of the county. By means of generous contributions from citizens and from people throughout the county the building was fitted up and converted into a modest. modern hospital with many of the conveniences known to larger institutions. Patients were admitted, ,lives were saved, the fame of the hospital spread and what had only a short time previously been regarded as unnecessary as well as impossible became an indispens- able necessity, not large enough to meet the demand. At the annual meeting held the other day steps were taken to build an additional wing, which will cost $3,000. This lwithin the short space of a little more than two years!

The Hospital buildings and land are valued at $14,000;

ithe furniture, $1,809; surgical instruments, $1,000. “At ,the close of the financial year in May." says the report ;of the President, “the unpaid liabilities exceeded $3,000, ,and your trustees decided to make a special appeal for '$3,000. so as to pay off the indebtedness and have a balance .available for future necessities." This appcal, it is grati~ lfying to find. resulted in contributions sufficient to pay ion" au the iiaiiiiiiies.

’ 'l`iie hospital has accommodation for only eighteen .patit-nts, but as many as twenty-two patients were being cared for at one time, necessitating the procuring of accominodation outside for the nurses. To meet this ‘growing demand for accommodation. the building of the new wing above referred to was undertaken.

The number of cases admitted from June 1, 1914, to

,Var si. 1915. was aint. of wineii 92 were medical. 197 surgical and 14 obstetrical. Of these 19 were admitted *free 0l`<'l1i1l'8e. 13 by paying part of cost and the remainder paying actual cost.

* lit-sides being a charitable institution. when charity is necessary, it is undenominational and is supported by all religious, denominations. Of the 303 patients treated dur- lllg ll1f'.\'€'ar 113 were Roman Vatholics, three “ no rellgion," and the remainder belonging to the dingrgnt Protesgam denominations.

As is usual in all worthy institutions, much of the

success that has attended the Prince County Hospital is due to the efforts of the ladies. There is a Ladies’ Aid. and the President in his report makes special mention ,of the "untiring work anti financial assistance given to lille Trustees" by that organisation.

Prince t"ounty is to be congratulated on its splendid

llUSDllHl and on the self-sacrificing efforts of those ladies “Nil gentlemen who have overcome what not so long ago appeared to be insuperable difficulties and have provided lllf‘ll` <`0UY1!!»' town with a hospital that has become a distinct credit as well as an indispensable necessity.

C0-OPERATI AIRYING

The series of successful meetings in connection with

cooperative dairying concluded at Dunstaffnage on Sat- urday shows a renewed and vigorous interest in scientific dairying. From 1909 till 1912 interest in the subject flag- ged, and dairying associations led it precarious existence. Now all that i_=i changed, and Mr. George li. Barr, (‘hief of the Dairy Division, Ottawa, and l\lr. Harvey Mitchell, Supervisor for the i\iariimc Provinces, are in the happy position of being able to report phenomenal progress. This is especially evident in the demand for cow-testing, upon which so much of the success of dairy farming depends. Mr. Mitchell has now no need to urge farmers to have their cows tested, the demand is general on the part of all progressive districts. A few years ago Mr. Mitchell never received a voluntary application for testing, now applica- tions flow in from all quarters. As zt result many farmers ‘ have doubled the returns per cow from the creamery in a few years. The instructive. practical addresses delivered at these <lairymen’s picnics are bound to have it beneficial effect on intensive farming in the province. There is no reason in the world. now that the car ferry is all but ati accomplished fact, why this Province should not become a secthid Denmark.

ELECTION PREPARATIONS

Saturday‘s Patriot gravely informs us that the "political

signals are multiplying" and makes the poetical deduc- tion thaf. "the provincial elections will be called before the leaves are autumn tinted." On tliestrength of this pre- diction it warns the Liberals not to be “caught napping" and to place their men in'tlte field as quickly as possible.

iilaving thus delivered itself of the prediction and the warning it gives an excellent demonstration of the truth of the old saw "the less ope has to say the oftener he says it." "The contest this time will be on an equal footing, not a one-sided contest like that of 1912," it purs. “Then the Liberals, after n record of twenty years, had many things to contend with that will not face them on this occasion."

So? In 1912 the Liberals had to face their previous re-

cord and that was what knocked them out. They are the same bunch still, and the record they built up in twenty years still stands to be faced, for it was too big a thing to he forgotten in the short space of three and a half years. The electors who pronounced them incapable, incompetent *and unworthy of conhdence then are the electors whom they shall he obliged to meet at the next election. whether lit come with or without the accompaniment of autumn leaves.

Will The Patriot point out anything the Liberals have

done during the past three and a half years that will con- vince the electors that they are not the same, discredited bunch that was turned out bag and baggage in 1912? Will ‘ The Patriot give one solitary reason why the Liberals

`ll;‘~wolId it, to take a big `

should be expected to succeed now after having mlserahlY tailed for twenty long years! Have they developed a new M0593 who might b6 ¢iD6C(€d '.0 lead them? Are U18! not infinitely worse oi! now than in 1912? Then they had a leader; today they have not a man in sight who is eve!! sure ol his election; they have never, either through their organ, The Patriot, or from the platform given a hint as to how they propose to remedy the things they have found fault with in the present Government.

Leadei-less and policyless. with a twenty years r9C0l’d

of mismanagement and incompetence which brings the blush of shame to the face of every Liberal to whom it is

put up, and without even n pretence of conversion, The Patriot has the tetnerity, not to say the audacity, to ea-- denvour to persuade its readers that there is a 8l\_0Sl 0! I. chance for the restoration of the Liberal DUIY- Tl\f2'PB¢'_ riot forgets that the people of Prince Edward Island are not only intelligent but have memories that will carry them hack over three and a. half years and beyond, into the region of perpetual deficits and mismanagement.

Autumn will assuredly tint the leaves asain. b9f0f€ 01'

after the provincial elections. but even the crimson glory of a Prince Edward Island autumn is mild and colourless in comparison with the variegated tinta, from political im- hecility to actual guilt that stain the twenty years record of the party in whose interests the esteemed Patriot is whistling to keep its courage up.

THE MANITOBA DEALS

The Liberals are cutting a sorry figure in the Manitoba

deal. Ex~Attorney General Howden of the Roblin Govern- ment in his evidence before the Fullerton Commission detailed how he gave $25,000 to William Chambers, a Liberal politician representing the Norris Govemment, with the promise that “ you fellows will get the other 825.000 if you are good." Something subsequently went wrong in the plans, and the new Attorney General com- plained that the agreement was not being fulfilled to the letter. lfltimately-and since the inquiry opened-the $25,000 was retumed to Howden and forwarded by him to France for Red Cross purposes.

Interviewed by a Montreal Star representative, Premier

Norris did not leave a very favourable impression of his innocence regarding these negotiations. He blustered, pro- tested. and called liowtlen a liar, and said he would apply stronger language wt-re he in the habit of using profanity. But whether or not Mr Norris was personally ignorant of the $50,000 deal it is quite apparent that the arrangement between the leaders of the Liberal party and ex-Attorney General Howden was made, in proof of which we have the fact that the $25,000 cash “ spot down " was paid over, and returned only when the Fullerton charges were made and under investigation. It may have been a “ plant " on the part of the ex~Attorney General, but that does not relieve the Liberals from the charge of being susceptible to bribery and corruption of the very worst description.

MOM;

SPREADING UNTRUTII

in its issue of Saturday The Patriot attempts to justify

thc discredited report tiiat 12,000 new appointments had been made in the civil service of Canada since the present Government came into power. We have already shown that Professor Shortt, the originator of the report-which he gave at 10,000-subsequently admitted that he had not taken into account the resignation, deaths. etc., when he made his statement based on a newspaper report. The Patriot now submits an alleged analysis of the returns brought down by the various departments which, it says, shows a net increase of 12,147. Who is responsible for this analysis? Mr. J. H. Sinclair, Guysborough, submitted an analysis which showed 'an increase of 11,045. As we stated on Saturday, the Government did not accept this analysis and stated that the increase was 4,000. Subse- quently Mr. Sinclair asked leave to amend his analysis, stating that he had made a mistake in the addition of 1,000! What reliance can be placed on an analysis by people who confem they made mistakes of one thousand in the matter of simple addition? People will prefer to take the authoritative statement of the Government as was done at the time even by Professor Shortt, a dyed in thc wool grit, who confessed that though Chairman of the Civil Service Commission he relied on a newspaper report for his information. The newspaper in question proved to be no more reliable than The Patriot, and this the Professor had sorrowfully to admit.
