THE CITY CANDIDATES

With tho nomination last night of Dr. S. R. Jenkins

and Mr. James Paton as the Liberal-Conservative can- didates for Charlottetown and Royalty, the list of can- didates forthe ensuing Provincial election is complete- There will be a contest in every constituency. ii10\lSll ill many of them it will be but a half-hearted aitair. There is no burning question before tho electorate, the 01111051' tion has no leader, no ll0li'~'y. H0 Dl`0Sl`“mm°» and me fight

has therefore resolved itself into it qpestion of men rather than measures. »

In the city how do we stand in this respect? The Grits

have put forward two young slid 0I10I`l-ZOUU Candidates- bmh of whom have their spurs to win in politics. Mr. E. T. Higgs has taken a prominent part in comnierclal affairs and has occupied the position of president of both the Charlottetown Board of Trade and of the Maritime Board of Trade Association with credit both to himself and tho Province. Mr. C. Gavin Duffy, his running mate, is it rising yound lawyer, who has not hitherto taken much part in public affairs, and it shows considerable pluck on his part to tackle the constituency of Charlottetown in his second bid for political honours. These two "rising hopes" are pitted against such tried and proved public stalwarts as Di'. S. It. Jenkins and Mr. James Paton. both of Whom have a large and successful record of public work behind thcni. Dr. Jenkins has been the pioneer oi' public health reform in the Province and was chiefly instrumental in getting the Government to take action in the matter of tubcrcular patients which resulted in Mr. Dalton's munifi- ccnt offer oi’ a Provincial Sanitarium. Dr. Jenkins has been prominent in all movements which have had for their object thc advancement of the Province, and especially of thc City of Charlottetown. Mr. James Paton has long held a foremost position among our public-spirited citizens. llc has been a leader of men, tried and trusted, for many years. and has been, long and honourably associated with civic affairs, being an ex-Mayor. In an editorial comment on Mr. Paton’s election as Mayor, The Patriot, among other nice things. said this about thc Liberal-Conservative candidate of today: “lt is not too much to say that Mr. Paton has been an alert and singularly successful business man, ranking with the mercantile princes of Prince Ed- ward Island. While devoting the greater portion of his time to business, Mi'. Paton has not been unniindful of his duty to his fellow-citizeiis and to the city in which he carries on his business * * * We therefore heartily con- gratulate Mr. Patonviind feel that he will bring to this oilice that dignity, ability and patriotism which should characterize such a position.”

All ths is as true to-day as when it was first written.

In addition Dr. Jenkins and Mr. Paton support a Govern- incnt with zi record of things accomplished second to none in the history of tlic.»1’rovlncc. 'l‘he Opposition candidates have no policy, and the most they promise to do is to support Premier Mathieson in thc measures ho may bring forward for the good of the Province. The Government candidates may be more readily depended upon to do that than any candidate who seeks admission to the Opposition benches.

DOOMED TO OFFICE

Judging by the rousing enthusiasm of the crowded

incctlng in the Board of Trade Rooms last evening the Mathieson Government is doomed to hold office for just as long as thc Matliicson Government chooses to offer lisoli' for election. 'There was no mistaking the candid opinions of thc large an representative gathering. The Mathieson Government is the best, most business-liko, most progress- sive administration the Province ever enjoyed. There was not a word of adverse criticism offered. Everyone was jubilant over tho magnificent rocord of the past mid thi- prospocts for the future under thc Mathloson regime, Mr. Paton neatly turned the tables on Mr. E. T. Higgs with regard to his opinion of thc state of prosperity of the Provinr-c, Mr. lliggs had stated tllai the l’rovlucc was a itillfi i|0\\/itll! with milk and honey. To whom, asked Mr. Paton. was due thc credit for sucli s. happy stain nf affairs? Was it the Grit party? Whatever did the Grits do to brim: optimism and contentment to thc land? They ran tho Government to bankruptcy, and vi/'imp thoy jam flown the reins of ofllcc, it was because they had reached the end of their resources and had oxhaustcil the patience and tolerance of tho people. Tho Mathiogon Government siiccccdeil to a legacy of gloom, despondcncy and--a doht of one million and seventy-two thousands of dollars. ln little more than three hrlof years, Premier Mathleson and his Government have succeeded ln completely changing the face oi' affairs, and now instead of despondoncy, donclig and despair, we have optimism, surplusses, and unbounded hope. ln a sentence we have, as admitted by Mr. Higgs, a land flowing with milk and honey, whore every progpmt p"’“9°“' and "lily tl few dist-rruntled Grits and cnvlous oilico-seekers are vllely ungrateful.

tions of unbounded enthusiasm ln support of the Govern- mont and the prosp_ects are that there will he oven B creator sweep in suimori of Mr. Miithiomn and his coi- leaizuos than there was at the last election. The country appreciates good, honest, stralglitforward government run with ii. view to efficiency and economy, and we have got if

_Erin-: nrioiir or MEANNI-:ss

Probably never in the history of the political iifo of

any country has there been such contemptible meanness exhibited as that shown by a certain section of Grits ln the First District of Prince. The Hon. Charles Dalton. the Government candidate, him not only represented the district satisfactorily and well, but as a member of the Government has devoted much valuable time and attention io the furtherance of the public health of the Province. In this connection Mr. Dalton has presented A Sanltarlum

and probably will entail another $4,000, or $5,000 before

A I

Qcompletion. It is 'expected-that this ,magnificent gift will

bg ‘_|-émry for .formal opening and handing over to the people of this province for all time within the next six weeks or two months. Never has such generosity been ex- pei-longed by the people of this Province; never sympathy more adequately expressed lor the suffering in our midst than by this philanthropic and beneflcent gift.

Yet it is thepublie services of this generous donor

which a, few mean. eontemptlble Grits challenge in the First District of Prince. And who is the standard-bearer of these small-minded, ungrateful Grits? '

Mr. Benjamin Rogers, s. man who has taken more from

the public treasury in the way of salary than any other man living in the Province.

Mr. Benjamin Rogers, at man who stepped from Govern-

ment House into the active arena of party politics.

Mr. Benjamin Rogers, who in his long public career

has nothing to his credit, except what he has attained through the gubernatorial office.

Mr. Benjamin Rogers, who has so little regard for the

fitness of things. that after attaining the highest ,public ofllce his King and Country can confer upon him, steps <l1l'0Ct|Y down from that high and dignified office, to iight on the hustlngs for some other petty office, and to oppose a man who has given as much to his country as he (Mr. Rogers) has taken from it, `

The action of Mr. Rogers does not meet with the

approval of right-thinking Liberals. If the Liberals of tho First Dmtrict had really desired to contest Mr. Dnlton’s seat. and this is generally denied, the opportunity was not for one who has already sucked the fruits of office dry~and still greedily thirsts for more.

WHY WE SHOULD RECRUIT

We are in receipt of a recruiting sermon preached in

St. Andrew’s Church, Ottawa, recently by the Reverend W. T. I-lerridge. M. A., D. D., from the text “He that hath no sword, lot lilm sell his garment and buy oue.” The ser- mon was published by request of the ,Minister of Militia and Defence. The following extract, which will give an idea of the tenor and excellence of the whole sermon, is especially applicable at the present time:

The critics of the British Navy should be reminded of

the fact that, but for its existence. our home waters long ago, would have been menaced by hostile battleships, and our seapoi-.is subjected to fierce bombardment. When we think of the suffering of brave little Belgium, and read the gruesome tales of pillage and rapine, we have reason to thank God that the worst horrors of war have not visited us at all.

Yet this fortunate escape may, perhaps, make us more

slow to recognize that this is our war; and even though we do not hear the actual clash of arms, the issue oi' it must needs be of far-reaching consequence to every one of us. We have given some proof of the belief that our privilcges as British subjects cannot be separated from grave responsibilities, and thousands of Canadians are now across the sea, or making ready to go. But I fear that many of our youth have not yet seriously considered the qucs,t_ii_ip__wl_ie_t_he_r they cannot do something, directly or indirectly, to strengthen our national resources in this epoch-making hour. Why should we not have at least it quarter of a million men in training for such emergen- cies as tho future may unfold, not all of them necessarily in the firing line, but fitted to serve in some useful way wherever duty calls them? We should then have barely done, in proportion, what the Motherland has dono al- ready. And in view of the splendid valour which will make Ypres, St, Julien and Langemarck immortal names in our history, I nm persuaded that, apart from the martial rc-enforcement which would thus be brought to our cause, such an awakening of Canadian manhood, such an im- pressive object-lesson in the unity of the British Empire would be bound to have its effect in shortening thc dura- tion of the war. - '

lf we hope for a pence that shall endure, and that shall

usher in the dawn of aiiewcr and brighter day, we must not shrink from thc sacrifice which the stern needs of the time demand from us. No llfo, surely, can bo just the same during this war as it was before it. We are forced to postpone mcrc personal concerns in the face of public duty, and toylift our eyes to the wider horizons which no\v, tlninder-rivcn, are presented to our view. It is sad, no doubt. to see our sons Holm-2 across the sea, and to know that, in all likelihood, some will not return. But it would be far sadder to risk the loss, or cvcii the transient in- terruption of the blessings which we have come to regard as our inalienable birthright; it would be far sadder lf, one by one. the lights of liberty wont out around the world.

NOTES

_ W .,_ __ __., ,

The London Daily Chronicle says: Sir Robert Borden`s

presence at the Cabinet meeting can have few, if any. pre- cedents in modern times. The Canadian Premier was there as irprivileged spectator and partieipator in the proceed- ings. It is true that the present Cabinet is itself an abnor- mal body; it ls composed of leaders of different parties. and is more a War (Zomniittce than a Cabinet ln l_hc usual sense. gcvertlielcss. the preccdciit crcaicd by Sir Robert Borden's participation ls one which deserves alteri- tiou, especially in its imperial bearings. and it may not bo without consequences ultimately.
