CITY vs. COUN'l`RY CANDIDATES

Our Contemporary isvery much concerned about the

occupation of the Conservative candidates and tries to show that there are more business men than farlnorll among them. lt is a casa of the mote aild the beam. We have taken the trouble to go over the Liberal list and find there are only seven bona-fide farmers among the 30 can- didates. Tlle other 23 are mostly lawyers and professional men with a sprilikling of five merchants. But the most curious feature the analysis brought out was that the city of Charlottetown which can elect only two members has no fewer than nine Liberal candidates in the field. Four

arc running in King's County, one a newspaper man against a local representative farmer, a city lawyer against s-l°°=1l___bl\-slvssll.marl_yill°_has was 1“_lsrssl=-lr\_tl1_s _dis- trlct, and the former's partner against another local can- didate in Murray Harbour. A newspaper man from the city is running against a local merchant in Belfast. A re- tired merchant in the city is opposed to a local business man; while in the West River District a Liberal city drug- gist is attacking the seat of a Rustico farmer.

It will thus be seen the Patriot machine has manipu-

lated matters satisfactorily to its friends, but not in the interests of the various country districts.

.i_l___0l___i_

WHY DIDN’T THEY?

It is certainly rich to see the Patriot and hear Liberal

orators declare that the Mathieson Government had a larger revenue than the Grit Government and therefore had a right to have it surplus, while the Grits, because of their small revenue had a right to have a deficit-a right which they unquestionably exercised with painful persis- tence, year after year, What the people want to know is why did not the Liberals have a larger revenue? Why did they not avail themselves oi’ the opportullityaiforded them at the inter-provincial conference of 1907, when the pro- vinces were asked to present their special claims for con- sideration? The Grit delegates, as pointed out by Premier Mathieson, remained culpably silent and allowed this gold- en opportunity to slip. Premier Mathiesou did not wait for an invitation; he asked for the opportunity to present thc Island’_s claim, was given the opportunity and so well did he make use of it that he succeeded in securing for the provincefor all time to come lin annilal subsidy of $100.000. NOW the Gl'its are crying because they did not get lf- We lied as much right to it in 1907 as we had when Premier Matliiesoli got itand had he been Premier then we would have received it and would have had the use of it ever since. The trouble was the Grits were incom eten

p t

mill they have done nothing since to show that they have got over it. _

“LET Till: l>l‘3oPl.l: lull.l;” y

On almost every platform throughout the country the

Grit caiidillates or their supporters have denounced the Governmenton the automobile question. But in Char- lottetown the Grit candidates had not one word to say on the subject. It is a policy of running with the hare and

want to he in with both parties. They would like the votes of the automobllists in the city and the ahtlhulolslg 1" the 001lllll`Y. The chances are they will get neither. The G°V@l`"m9l1l'S D0liCy is clear and above board. It has given the power to the people of every district to say whether or not they shall have autos, and no permission will bc given unless seventy-five per cent. of the people

THE PRACTICAL vg. THE VISIONARY

Probably there never has been a more bitterly con-

tested election than tlie present and for. what? Merely because a few men want_public offices. There has not been a single principle challenged by the Opposition. They have no platform to submit. They have no fault to find ‘Vllll anything that has been done. The one and only ex- "U50 limi' Offer' for being in opposition at the present time is that in their opinion the reductionlin public debt and the Sllfllluses are not what the qualified, independent “Gill”-fl€B -Elly they are. Now that is wholly in the air, as MF- Higgs W0Ulf1 BUY- FOI' good or ill the public must de- Dellll “P011 flllly Qualified auditors, the stand between them “ml the Public ofllclals, and if the public cannot depend llpon the reports of such qualified, independent auditors

argl there is an end to democratic government and the

om s knocked out of the policy "trust the people."

Bul We are Deffeffily satisfied that nine-tenths of the people belle

sms. To be candid were the Opposition half as prac

_ GRITS LOSING HEART

The Grits are quite evidently losing heart. The Patriot yesterday metaphorically thanked heaven

that thc Grit candidates were not howled off the platform in the People's Theatre.

Mr Benjamin Rogers in manifesto (explanatory) number

three mournfiilly proclaims that " the will of the people shall rule." which. means the order of the boot to Mr Rogers in the First District of Prince. `

_ As there is no earthly prospect of the Grit candidates

being returned, and consequently no chance of their becoming hons " after the 16th, the Patriot is lavish in its bestowal of the "hon" as an encouragement to the dis- hearteilcd candidates to continue their sacrifice of time, money and energy, not to say " gas," in a lost cause. Thus we have the " Hon " John McMillan, "Hon" Geo. E. Hughes. "Hon" Benjamin Rogers, "Hon" H. J. Palmer and

peradventure, " Hon " Peter Brodie.

Such a galaxy of political talent has never been seen

in the history of the Province as the Grits have provided

entertainment of the electorate in the _present cam-

triumvfrate par excellence, of course, are the “Hon”

Peter Brodie. “Hon " H. J. Palmer, and the “ Hon ” John J. Bradley. The entertainment these performers provide is always exhilarating if rarely educative or instructive. * The Patriot says the policy of the Liberals is to give ,the farmers' children merely “a good ‘ common" school education ‘ commonly’ known as the three R*s." Exactly! Good enough, in the opinion of the Patriot and its "blue- blooded " orators, for " common i' farmers' children. f" The

fancy subjects and d'vers educational frills ” must he reserved for the children of tlie'*‘ blue-blooded " ariatocrlti. of which the Patriot is the servile organ.

~ The Patriot is new .so used to' bespattering mud and spreading false reports that it is hardLv worth while noticing all of them. In its edvitol-ial columns it never fails ,to cast reflections on the bonu-fide; of anyone who mei' oDl>0se the Grit candidates. it is always looking for ulter- ior motives, and where they are not discernable does not l1esitate.to manipulate them. Amongst the latter was a charge against Mr. Donald McKinnon that he had received $402 for services rendered the Government. ~ This is wholly incorrect. The $402 referred to are the taxed costs- in- curred by Mr. Lowe whose case was submitted to arbitra- tors, an amount that would have been taxed against the late Liberal Government, only they were afraid to allow Mr. Lowe to bring his action in Court. This amount and' the $7,000 award should rightly have been charged against the late' Government and not the resent administration. The Liberals abused their privilege in refusing to allow

'l'o~day the Mathieson Government stands higher in

public estimation than ever it did, and there is but one opinion regarding the result of the election. The Mathie- son Government will be retained by an overwhelming majority. lt is doubtful whether the two seats oi' Mr Richards and Mr McWilliams in the Fourth District of

Prince will be retained by the Opposition..

During” the past week those who were a little lukewarm

in politics have begun to realise what the insidious cam- paign of the Opposition really ls. They want to replace Premier Mathieson by Mr Benjamin Rogers, and no decent- minded Liberal will tolerate such an insult to' his intelli- gence and patriotism. The Patriot also realises that the bottom has gone out of its campaign, and is now busily whistling to keep up its courage, and that of its candidates. As the 16th September draws nearer the people are show- ing their appreciatlon of the work of the Government by rallying to the support of the Government candidates: and it is questionable whether a "corp0i'al’s guard ” of Oppo-

sitionists will be returned to the new legislature.

.HAND BOMBS AND BODY ARMOUR

At the outbreak of the present war, many people of

experience were convinced that fighting would be con- ducted at exceptionally long range, the armies being miles apart and hardly visible to` each other, even in large bodies, by the naked eye alone. High power long range infantry rifles and ordnance of from five to fifteen miles range made it seem nearly certain that one army could not advance openly toward the other to any point within the range of fire. The great development of the aeroplane and other air-craft made surprise. attacks, in force, next to impossible. So, altogether it seemed certain that this war WQUU1 be f0llEl1t out at long range. But, one very im- portant element entered into this war as it has entered no' other war before, and completely reversed the.sltua- tion. Instead of being fought at far greater range than any previous wars, it is to a very great extent, being fought out at ii far shorter range than any previous wars except those of decidedly ancient history. Before the war had been many weeks old the slippers developed their science to a point where it brought two contending armies literally face to face at distances measured by yards or

hunting with the hounds' oppommists ever' the Grits ' even feet instead of miles. The science of trench digging

has been developed to such an extent that each army WONHS llS WHY. illvieibly. through the ground toward the other, until their foremost trenches parallel the enemy at Only a few yards. When such points are reached, the men ill the firing trench of each side resort to the only prac-

ticable kind of warfare-the ancient and antiquated war- fare of thr in b
