N OTED SPEAKER COMING

The (‘oniinittt-e of the Prince Edward Island Patriotic

§Sot-it-ly .are entitled to the thanks of the people of Char- tlottctoivii and of the province for having secured Solicitor- 'Gt-iicrul lion. Arthur Mcighen, K.L`.. to address a meeting ihcre. Mr Meiglien is one of Canada's foremost orators, and his addresses at many points throughout the dominion in connection with the recruiting campaign and the war generally are most highly spoken of. Of his address in Halifax last Monday night the Halifax Chronicle says cditorially, in part:

“ The splendid audience whlcli filled the Academy of

.\lusic last evening was an inspiration alike to the speaker and to those who were privileged to hear Hon. Arthur ,.\lcighcii's fine patriotic address. Mr Melghen is still a ‘young nian-altliougli he looks older than his years-but he 'has gnincd a high reputation as a parliamentary debater, ‘und is rogartlvtl as one of the ablcst speakers of the party

‘vxitli which he is so prominently associated. This is Mr

1.\lt1<_'licri's first visit to Nova `Scotia and the people of ,lialilax are indebted to the Canadian Club for the oppor- itunity of tendering a cordial welcome, in which all Nova iScoriaiis will be glad to join, to a distinguished young

icanadian. But it was, perhaps, the occasion, as much ins the desire of the public to see and hear one of the

ilcadcrs of the Government, which made the meeting sig- tiiiticant. The call is for more men, and as President Mackenzie stated, the response has not been as ready as the need demands. Mr )leighen's address was worthy of ,the occasion. ln a powerful, well ordered and reasoned appeal to the individual judgment and conscience, he brought home to (`anadians how vitally they are concerned

‘yin the issue of the great conflict on the fields of Europe and pointed out in impressive words the duty and the ,opportunity for service in this hour of crisis." I Mr .\lcighen‘s subject will be "Canada and the War," in siihjoct whicli wc t`anadians are only beginning to com-

iprcliclitl vaguely, now that we are beginning to pay itlic “price of atlniiralty." but it is one also which we must. iyct take more seriously to heart before the task we have

iiiiidcrtaken is completed. That the Market Hall will be crowflt-tl to the doors is a foregone conclusion, but the -Voliiiiiittce ,in charge will see to it that every inch of ispacc will bc available and that all present shall have the best possible opportunity of hearing the speaker.

lii addition to the address hy Mr Meigheii a musical

progrziiiinic will be given by way of variety, and every- thing will be done to make the meeting one of the most impressive patriotic meetings yet held in (Tlitirlottetown.

THE PATRIOT’S SLANDER

As a rt-ply to an editorial in yestcrday‘s Morning

Guarilian, under tho caption “Como to the Point,” the Patriot has hrokcn out in several new places with several now iliscovcrics. \\’c had pointed out that Mr Richards, i.cndt-r of the Opposition, admitted on thc floor of the House that hc was unable to find a solitary dollar in the expendi- tnrcs for thc past year that could, in thc interests of the province, he avoided. \\`c pointed out also that the vague and indefinite charges inade hy Liberal office seekers and prospective candidates go for nothing unless accompanied by soniething that thc people will regard as reasonably coiicliisivc and that the people are now looking for some i-iiibstantiation of all these charges, The Patriot, like the had boy who finds himself in the glitter after an encounter, gets mad about it and becomes abusive. While the Liberal leader, who of all men ought to know. could flnd no extravagant-c on the part of the Government, the Patriot in its wrath tells us that tlicrc was not only extravagancc and waste, lint that there was a deficit of $90,000 at the cnfl of the set-oiirl year. and another of $40,000 at the ond nf ill" DHS! Year. 'l`lii-so are samples of thc kind of vague and iiicaniiiglcss cliiirgcii which the people are now demanding Hilti-Slatlllotioii for and to which they will hold the pro- spective canrliilates and ollicc seekers. The Public .\i-coiints have been accepted by the people as correct; 'll".\' Wort' auditcil by some of our best informed bankcrs, :intl when thc Patriot undertakes to dis:-rcilll llp-so il is only giving a lniiicninhlc cxliihitiun of ignorance which our good natiircd people will laugh at. Willie we pity thc Patriot for its cxhihltlon, we do not purpose disciisslng this niattcr with it, as we have every confidence in the bankers who audited thc accounts. We feel sure that the people throughout the province are with us in this.

There is one matter, however, to which we will refer

in all seriousness. and if the Patriot has any decency or holiour left we shall not be obliged to refer to it again. In its ycsterday's issue it made this statement: “. , . at a time when poor people have to deny themselves to help provide for the starving Belgians, for tho patriotic funds. etc., when 30,000 bushels of the farmers' oats arc being devoured by rats on a public wharf through the negligence or delay of the Government."

This is li direct and absolute falsehood, and if thc

Patriot does not know lt. it ought to know. ’I‘he‘wholc story of the contribution of 100,000 bushels of oats for the Army Field Service Fund is known and has been told in the island press. The whole matter of transportation and storage of these oats was placed in the hands of a Com- mittee, of which, among others. Messrs W. H, Aitken, Nelson Rattenbury and Charles Lyons are members. These gentlemen, and their associates, with great difficulty' secured the “ Morwenna." which was represented as having capacity to carry practically the whole quantity subscribed and purchased. Her capacity proved. however. to be some 20,000 bushels less than her owners had estimated, but no other ship being available she was chartered and she landed her cargo of something over 60,000 bushels in France. Arrangenietils were subsequently made to have the balance of the cargo carried by the winter steamer:-i and shipped via Halifax. This proved impossible owing to ice conditions and afterwards to the want of suitable shipping at Halifax for no small a cargo. This spring arrangements were made to have the balance shipped to France along with a cargo of hay now being prepared for shipment. Meantlme the oats were stored, not on a public wharf, but in bag! in the new warehouse on Rail- way Wharf, where they are an safely and securely housed and watched as are the stockii of any merchants in Char- lottetown. The instnuatlon that tlfo sentlemeii above

t l

tlharlolleliiwn lluarilian

named would give less attention to the oats thus collected than they do their own is unworthy of a Journal claiming respectability. and one for which the Patriot will receive little credit. '

it is true that the “people have to deny themselves.”

and have denied themselves. to provide this contribution of oats to the Army I-‘leld Service Fund; it is true that they are denying themselves in many ways to help the Empire in its hour of trial, true that many of them have made heart-breaking sacrifices and many more are ready to do likewise, but to prostitute these sacrifices for the -sake of a little political capital is beneath contempt. All that the Patriot needed to do to find out the facts. if it did not already know them. was to ask either Mr Aitken, Mr Rattenbury or Mr Lyons or any of the Committee, any one of whom would have assured it that this balance of the lslaud`s contribution was just as safely housed and protected as were any goods of their own. If the Patriot has any honour or decency left lt will hasten to retract its unfounded allegation and to apologise to those whom it has so grossly insulted.

The Patriot may be Dardoned for extravagant and even

ridiculous representations and misrepresentations on political matters, but when it undertakes, at a time like the present, to drag our patriotism through the political mire it has stirred up it is time to call a halt.

LAURIER AND THE TARIFF

In a sketch of Sir Wilfrid in the London Daily News

and Leader Mr A. G. Gardiner, a famous British Liberal journalist, declared that Sir Wilfrid Laurier was an oppor- tunist first of all. No one who has read our parliamentary history, or who follows current political events, can doubt that that will be the estimate of history. During the forty-five years that he has been ln public life, the Liberal leader has embraced at some time or other each and every ddcti-ine within the realm of political economy. When he entered the House of Commons he was an ardent Protec- tionist. lie was a strong Protectionist just previous to joining the Mackenzie cabinet. But that love of office which has been characteristic of his whole career tri- umphed-over his economic principles, and as Minister of inland Revenue under Mackenzie he blossomed out as a full fledged Free Trader. In the long march in the wilder- ness from 1878 to 1896, Sir Wilfrid was something new often, hilt notlilng new very long. Like the drowning man grasping at the proverbial straw the party iioundered about, reckless and despalring, ready to grasp at anything or everything that suggested a return to the flesh pots of office. “(.‘oniniercial Union," “Unrestricted Reciprocity," and “ Tariff~for-revenue~only" were taken up and dropped in turn. Protection was denounced as “ legalised robbery ” and “ bondage." In 1893 when the party chiefs met in Ottawa, a new plank was hewed out and labelled “Free- Trade-as-tliey-have-it-in-England." In a famous speech in Winnipeg the following year, Sir \\'ilfrid solemnly vowed to wipe out Protection and establish Free Trade.

.Two years later he found himself in office; and the

following extract from a letter written the Manufacturers’ Association shows how well he kept his solemn pledge:

"As to whether or not Free Trade would be injurious

to Canadian industries is a question I will not stop to discuss here, as lT lS NOT AND HAS NEVER BEEN THE INTENTION Ol" THE LIBERAL PARTY TO ESTAB- LISI-I FREE TRADE IN CANADA.”

This right-about-face of Sir Wilfrid on the question

of Free Trade has been bitterly termed the "Great Bc- trayal." Certain it is that politics has never disclosed a more cynical disregard for the professed ideals of half a lifetime. In oflice Sir \Vilfrid became frankly Protec- tioiiist. The interests of the manufacturing classes formed the keynote of his every budget. Ile introduced the system of bounties. lie increased the height of the tariff wall. This lasted for fourteen years when the Liberal leaders thought they discerned a cloud on the \\'estcrn horizon that was hostile to high tariffs; Sir \Vilfrid, the Opportunlst, bowed before the threatened storm and pre- pared to sacrifice the fiscal independence of the country to retain his hold upon office. The story of the infamous Reciprocity Pact and the fall of Laurier from power as a result of its infaniy, is current political history, and need not be repeated hero.. Ousted from power the Liberal party has once more gone hack to Free Trade, to its old habit of stirring up opinion against manufacturers, of setting class against class. The old political catchwords flint did such valiant service in the days of ('art\vriglit, are being heard again. The old ghosts are being paraded once more. “ Free Food,” “Free Trade," "Tariff for revenue," Direct taxation,” and “Economy and retrench- ment" are inscribed on the banner of Laurier, after all absence of fifteen years. The picture of (`obdcn has had its face turned from the wall.. But the people have grown weary. The hand of the clock has moved.. The gill shiholeflis and catchwords do not make the same appeal as in days of yore.

NOTES

The Mexican situation daily grows worse. Ilalf-way

incasures have proved useless, and thc factional leaders refuse to reach any basis of agreeiiicnt. lt is difficult to seo how energetic action oil the part of the Anierican government can be delayed much longer.
