GRITS ENDURSE GOV’T POLICY

There is a history in all men's lives, _ _ Figuring the nature of the time'_s deceas’d, The which observ'd, a man may prophesy,

With a near aim, of the main chance of things As yet not come to life, which in their seeds

And weak beginnings lie intreasured.

These inspired words of the Immortal Willla.m`leap

instantly to one's mind upon reading the manifesto of'1_»1r: Benjamin Rogers, the newly appointed leader of the Oppos- ition candidates. lt is the speech of one desperate as the wind. He and his party have no record of things ac oni-

plished with which to appeal in justification of _t-liiir present candidature. Their past is as barren as th ir promises are vain. After many days' cogitation the Grit candidates have succeeded in bringing forth a programme which is published over the name of Mr. Benjamin Rogers and it is probably the most wonderful document ever dig- nifled by the name manifesto, for it contains not one item that- is new, and consists of, for the most part, but an en- dorsement of Premier Mathieson‘s policy. We have gone

over it carefully and this is what it amounts to:-

1. We endorse Premier Mathieson's pledge to place the

resources of the Province at the disposal of the Empire for purposes of defence.

2. Wie approve of Premier Mathieson‘s policy of doing

away~with needless and vexatious impositions and making taxation bear equitably on all classes-making Government supporters as well as opposition paytheir just and lawful taxes.

3. We approve Premier Mathieson’s policy of elim-

inating waste and extravagance in the administration of the affairs of the Province.

4. We endorse Premier Mathieson's action in endeavor-

ing to obtain the lowest possible rates on the P. E. I. railway and especially for the carriage of mussel mud as fertilizer. _ _ ~

5. We approve the continuance of the policy of the

Mathieson Government of constructing our bridges and the needed public works of permanent materials.

0,. We approve of the policy of the Government in

gradually improving our roads and hope that when the Liberal Senators remove their embargo on the $30,000 offered us by the Borden Government, to be able to con- struct highways of a permanent and enduring character.

7. We endorse the policy of the Mathieson Government

in reasonably assuring that all pupils should receive xi sound and thorough grounding in the three Rs.

8. We agree with the policy of the Govemment in pro-

viding for practical agricultural education. but we would dismiss the present ofliclals and substitute men of our own choosing and color of politics.

9. We endorse the policy of the Mathieson Government

in enforcing the Prohibition Law, and on the plan of ser- iing a thief to catch a thief, we have included among our candidates two violaters of the Prohibition Law.

10. We support the policy of the Mathieson Govern-

ment regarding oyster leases, especially with regard to its

same.

adjustment the outstanding and still unsettled claim

so ineffective in this respect during the twenty years w were previously in power. _ »

12. We approve _of the present Automobile Act. but

in order to catch the votes of the anti-automobilists, while not endangering those of our automobile friends, we may be allowed to express the pious opinion that it is a pity Charlottetown and Union Itoad should have unanimously petitioned in favor of the plaguoy things. We need say no more on this subject, except that the Managing Editor of our organ, the Patriot, is an enthusiastic automobllist and enjoys every spare hour he has get joy-riding with the Manager of the Patriot, in his magnificent auto along the road to the Cliff. lt is a cardinal principle of the Grit candidature that the will of the people should rule except when it interferes with the success and pleasure of Grit candidates and their editorial exponents. Do you want an autocratic or democratic Government? We are pre- pared to give you either, if you will only give us a look in. It is the jobs we are after, nothing else counts. Signed (in the name. and by command of all the other longing 'office-seekers) Benjamin Rogers.

lf any elector can find anything in the manifesto

that would warrant him in voting for the Opposition nom- inees rather tha._n the Government candidates, we should like if he would point it out. i

.is wsu. orr wiisiu: riisruuuz,

The plight of Prince Edward Island Liberals at .the

present juncture reminds one forcibly of an incident which is said to have taken place at a ferry on the Alabama River. The ilarkey who was running the ferry was accosted by a dejected-looking stranger who wanted to cross but ha.dn't the wherowithal ' _

" l~laven’t you any money at all? " a sked the ferryman.

" No." was the dejecterl answer. "But lt will only cost you three cents"to cross," ln-

sisted the ferrymun.

"l know, but l haven‘t got three cents," replied the

dejected one.

After a thoughtful pause the ferryman remarked: "l'll

tell you what. stranger; a man that hasn’t get three cents ls just as well off on this side of the river as the other," and the ferryboat moved off, leaving tho centless msn where he was. ' -

The Liberal office-seekers who, in three and a half

years, were unable to find either s. leader or e policy. are just as well off where they are. and that is where they. are going to ho left. _
