SATYRDAY FEBRUARY 16th, 1918

I" I If’S'l‘ 'PIIINGS FIRST

Everybody in this country- knowS that

the oi§1'y thing worth while in the world to- day i fto win the _wai_'. ln the -face _of the possilhlities involved in a Ge_rma_n triumph nothing else matters. Nothing in the way of individual coinf01‘t, individual SUCCQSS, or iiidividual' failure can weigh for a mo- ineiit`against` the consequences to the ivorld, to civilization, to human freedom, if Germany should win, if Gerinanlsm should not be utterly and absolutely crush-

ed. _

This tlimielit should be the underlying.

motive iii all our endeavors and it would be 'ii' we looked the situation fairly and sqiiareljv in the face, if we looked at it as we really believe it to be. Unfortunately there are cross currents, there are person-

al ambitious, there are partizan aspira--’

tions that take precedence of thethings that are vital, the things that so many are d_ving for, the things upon which the future

of the world and ofcivilization depends. i

In this province, apart from what we

have' done and are still doing in giving of our best manliood and of 'our means, the _‘greatest help ive can give novv is to add to the 'food supply. 'l"o\vards this every possi- ble ellort should be directed by word and dee<l: a very fever of enthusiasm should be created iii the press, from the pulpit, from the platform. The slogan should be Pro- duction and _Coiisei‘vatioii. Produce any- thing and ever_vthing that can be produc- ed for iood; save everything that can be cxportetl as food. To carry on such a cam- paign would be real patriotism, f

‘.‘Whai, is the use of putting forth extra

eilort for the sake of production if prices are going to drop?" asks the man whose eye is fixed on the dollar bill. “Why should we help on a campaign inaugurated by our political opponents?" asks the little politi- cal partizan. “Why should I save up my flour and beef and bacon while my neighbor is ‘gorging’ himself with these?" asks the covetoiis one. And the answer to all is “It doesn’t matter what price you get or what 'political party wins, or what your neighbor eats or i°ei‘_raiiis from eating; thething is to produce more food and to save more food and win the war or let these things go and lose the war. Should this happen our little selfish interests would look very small ,under the new light that Germany would sliedovei' the world.

We _are producing now in _this country

less than halfof what could be pi'oduced even with the facilities we have; many are econoniiziiig on food either patriotically or oi’ necessity. Many more are doing neith- er. We need an epidemic of production and economy; we need to create a patriotic at- mosphere and this can be done only by patriotic effort on the part of all, an edort at encouragement and mutual stirring up to good works. It is no time for haggling and hairsplitting distinctions as to why or for whom or by whom. It is°everybody‘s iight for life and evei'ybody’s responsibili- ty. There is nothing to fear from the en- emy if we are true to ourselves but there is everything to feai' if we fail in our duty.

As if this old world did not contain en -

ough to worry over some cheerful pessim- ist has now discovered that great men die 'comparatively young. He reminds us that Alexander the Great died at thirty-two, having conquered practically the whole world of histday; Julius Caesar was dead at fifty-five. Napoleon died at fifty-two, Oli- ver Cromwell at fifty-nine, Shakespeare at fifty-two, Charles Dickens at fifty-eight. Nearly all the men who made the French Revolution were dead before they were fifty; many of them before they were forty. Robespierre was only thirty-six when he died, Desmoulins thirty-four, Danton thirty-live, and Mirabeau forty- two. The ordinary pessimist looking for trouble could add to the list almost indefin- itely: Robert Burns, Lord Byron, Robert Louis Stevenson and inanyothers

"`m'm "m(`h"" At a time like the present when “great

ment on the very tiiisubstaiitial foundation “it is said," that “bran is selling today in some places in this province as high as $48 a ton; and that a gentleman in the city yesterday bought bran at the rate of $45 a ton." These “quotations” are given by the Patriot to prove that “farmérs, and others, probably, are paying more for their bran than previous to the order ofthe Food Con- troller."

In a recent issue of The Guardian we

quoted, on the authority of the dealers in Charlottetown, the prices charged here for bran and niiddlings. These prices were $2.20 a bag for bran and $2._50 for middl- ings. This of course was the spot cash price. .Enquiring again last night we were assured by three of the largest dealers in the city that the price has not varied a cent from the quotations then given, nam- ely $2.20 and $2.50.

Now if the Patriot wants to get at the

truth why not ask the dealers, who are in a position, to know? Why base an accus- ation on the “it is said” of some one who

may or may notbe as disinterested as it appears to be? If the authority of t complainant is indisputable why does not the Patriot find out who is selling' these

feeds at illegal prices and apply the re- medy.'_ No ealer can legally make the charges quoted by the Patriot.

Yesterday’s Patriot makes the state-i

men - are bobbing up almost every day this is not encouraging. It puts a sort of wet blanket on the great incentive to greatness for it is everlastingly true that “all that a man hath will he give for his life.” even his greatness. After all, perhaps, as the term “great” in this connection is not clearly de- fined, including as it does, tyrants and re- volutionists as well as literateurs and philanthropists there may be less to fear than we think. In any case the fact that

a man has outlived the age specified in the above category does not necessarily imply.

that he it not great.

NOTES . l

Kind words are never lost-but they arev

frequently mislaid. _

The loss of 200 American troops by the

torpedoing of a transport will bring home to the United States the realities of war. If this loss imbues the nation with the need for urgency, the death of 200 soldiers at sea may save the lives of thousands of sol- diers on land.

Mr. Dewar, says a Toronto exchange,

should be the last man in the Ontario Leg- islature to object to an extension of that

body’s legal existence, for Mr. Dewar is'

humanly certain to be a member -of the

House until there is an election. Y _ _ ‘

Mr. lioover has asked the people of

the ilnited States to substitute corn for wheat as t`ond wherever they can. lint. in niaiiy parts of tlie_Eustern States corn is `ilearer than wheat, and much liai-der to get, notwithstanding that tht-re is more corn in the country than ever llitre wus. 'l‘her.e are not cars to carry it froni the corn krilis to the eonsuiiicrs. The people have been asked to out less beef and more iisli, but fish has been dearci' in New York and \\’ashiii;:ton than beef. Luck of cars again, Eggs are 'plentiful in thc Middle West and on the Pacific Coast. ’l‘lie_v \voiild be comparatively cheaper in Neiv o\’rk if the irniiie were not congestctl. The potato famine was largely a iiiatter of transportation. To- day we eaiinot get the .surplus potato crop of l‘riiico Etlward Island ann New Brunswick into the markets of Quebec and Ontario because even with suilicieiit ft-i'i'_\' facilities the rail- way at thc end ol' the ferry cannot handle tlieiu, Une. of the factors of rlieapi->i' food is cusy aiid quick dis- triliutioii. Added to shortage of cars and cqiiipiiieiit this winter has been the had wcutlier. in coinparison with freiglit rates, cillcieiit traiisportation service is :ill important.. _ ~:°--------.__________'---~ ___._. ,..:"-"<\\\\\“|~.
