The following review of The Golden Future appeared in The Recorder and Times of Brockville, Ont:

“Prince Edward Island is the smallest of Canadian provinc- cs yet it is probably at this moment the most prosperous of all. Sales of_ life insurance have fallen during the last twelvi- months in most of the provinces of the Dominion, but ll' Prince Edward Island they were 14 per cent. higher than dur ing the year immediately preceding. And Sir Henry Thornton not long since declared that “Prince Edward Island is at pre- sent the most prosperous province on the Canadian National Railways system. Prince Edward Island is the only part of the system which has shown an increase in business this

iioned the establishment of a divorce court for that Province, Prince Edward Island from 1868 to 1927 had only one divorce granted. This in spite of the fact that a divorce court for Prince Edward Island was authorized as long ago as 1835, and has never held a session. One also learns upon the same excellent authority that Prince Edward Island has a smaller percentage of juvenile delinquency according to population

The 00LEN FUTURE of

PRIME EBWABD ISLAND

I Read What thelHalifax Star Says : PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND

HE Charlottetown Guardian has recently Tissued a souvenir edition published in, book-size form, with the optimistic title of "The Golden Future of Prince Edward island.

it is an interesting edition. It is one that the native ofPrince Edward island, far irom home, will read with a special glowof pleasure. for in poem. and story, in attractive illpstiéla. tion, and advertisement, it tells of the lsjih S glory, of its progress, and of its contribution to the life of this coiltillellf-

There are many excellent articles, but_one of the best is the impression of an American ._ journalist who visited _'lhe _“Carden _0f the , Gulf,“ and who tells vividly his impressions of its people, their traditions, the well kept homes, "the splendid churches, and his amaze- ment at the practical absence of divorce and

__ crime.

His observations are worth noting. ‘“Tl'llS same little Province, which_ has no divorce problem, is also without a crimerproblem. its crime rate. as indicated by convictions for ser- ious ol-ienses, is lessthan one-tenth the rate for Canada as a whole, and the Canadian rate is low. The island hasn't had an execution in forty years!

“Unemployment? There isn't any on the Island.

“Po ve rty ?

“This Island has, per square llllle. iWICB 3-5 many people, four times as many cattle, and eight times as n-iuch poultry, as any other Province of Canada. It has more railroads per square mile, more post offices, more telegraph llhPS, and more churches, and its people have more money in the savings banks, per capita, than have those of any other Canadian Province."

The publication is one worthy of that en- terprising dailyhewspaper, The Charlottetown Guardian. Price 25 Cents.

li; is almost non-existent there.

than any other English-speaking area in the world. “No wonder the criticism is sometimes made of expatriat-

cd Prince Edward Islanders that they indulge to an excessive extent in boastfulness about their native province, its people, its activities and its resources. They have good reason to chant the praises of the Island and to regard it, wherever they may be, as “the veritable Garden of Eden” that Sir Henry Thornton recently described it.

“The Prince Edward Islander is usually regarded as somewhat slow and backward about making the most of its opportunities. He does not go in very much for manufactur- ing industry nor does he form very many contacts with his neighbors on the Canadian mainland, with which the sole con- nection is by car ferry. But in spite of that he is happy, con- tented and prosperous. His wealth (it is perhaps more evenly distributed than in other parts of Canada) is based upon de- velopment of the agriculture that the rich, red soil of the Island makes possible, fox ranching and fishing. The Island knows little of poverty or hardship or crime. The presenta- tion of white gloves to presiding judges of the Supreme Court is such a common occurrence that it is rarely mentioned in the newspapers. The people are well educated and the Isl- and has probably contributed in proportion more professors to the universities of Canada and the United States than any other part of the Dominion. And, as we have already said, divorce is such a rarity that it has never been found necessary to summon the divorce court that was authorized almost a century ago.

“But this souvenir edition of the Guardian also demon- strates that the Islanders are commencing to become dissat- isfied with their isolation. They are beginning to yearn for a larger share of the tourist traffic that now goes to other pro- vinces of the Dominion. They think that they might support more manufacturing industries than have already established themselves in their midst. They are starting to think about future prosperity in terms of tourist statistics, improved high- ways, smoking chimneys, with a tendency away from the three F’s--Farming, Fox Ranching and Fishing-that have hitherto lain at the basis of Island activity. And since the people down there have a little habit of getting what they go after. their hopes will probably be realized.

“This promises to be particularly true of the tourist busi- ness. A new car ferry to cost over $2,000,000 will greatly im- prove the means of approach to the island and the construc- tion of a Canadian National Railways hotel in Charlottetown to cost $750,000 will furnish better accommodation than has been available. When one considers the salubrity of the Island's climate. what Lieutenant-Governor Heartz calls its “ozone-laden salt air” and “cool nights conducive to restful slumber," the Island's numerous sheltered bathing beaches. the surpassing beauty of both its landscape and seascape._its fishing attractions. and the numerous other things with which the province is prepared to welcome the tourist. it seems only right to conclude that, with the improved facilities that are being provided, more and more people from the mainland and from the United States will make their way in that direction.

“Prince Edward Island may well look forward to “The Golden Future" that the Charlottetown Guardian anticipates, but every person will express an ardent hope that in attaining such a future, the Islanders themselves will not lose that strength of character, that love of law and order, that devo- tion to education and to religious activities that form so mark- ed a feature of life in this Canadian Eden."

pirate and the Amazonian bandit have become iplace figures in the picture of present day China's turmoil. Reports of armed women being among the msrauders women have attacked e. vessel or looted a village have become so frequent that they excite little more interest than is aroused by the monthly reports of the rlckslha ooolles’ union.

Many women have become leadem of bandit or pirate gangs,‘ ruling with as much ferocity as any herd- boiled Chlnxe male who ever led a gang of cutthroats in-to a defenseless villlce or sci-ms the deck of a cap- tured merchsntman. Some reports indicate in fact, that the women ou- laws, true to the traditions oftheir sex when they "go bed,” outdo the men in the ruthless treatment of vic- tims.

A newspaper investigation into re- cent activities of u. gang of outlaws made up mostly of women has thrown some interesting sldelights on the way in which the Chinese female outlaw operates. 1n one instance this band sacked the flourishing village of Woo- chung in South China and kldnaped more than 100 persons, holding them for ransom. Ordinarily n. band of captives of this size loses one or two of its members en route to the outlaws’ lair, the escaped persons giving clue to the route and Drcb- able whereabouts of the marauders. But police and military authorities reported that no trace could be found of the Wooohung raiders and inquiry disclosed the reason. Surviv- ors of the affair recounted that eaeh woman bandit appeared with a. sling on her back and after maklzii: good use of her club, pistol and o'.her weapons, departed with a Jrusscd- up orisorer in the sling. the cap- tivcs being carried in much the same inaiuier that babies are parked about by Chinese mothers.

None of the prisoners taken in this i'aid returned to give a clue as to the direction in which the bandits had fled. But word was sent hack to the village that the price for release of all the captives was $30,000 gold. Relatives of the victims, although knowing hat failure to pay meant the almost certain execution of the prL<- oners, could only say that this was more money than the entire village could scrape together in a year. The force that tumed the women of this particular band to loriganii- age was the same that has prompted many other lawablding and peace- lovlng Chinese to take up lives 0i crime. Civil wars, famine, collapse of the country's currency and other emnomic factors have driven thous- ands of men and women to seek a living wihere they could find it and from whoever happened to have any- thing worth taking.
