FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER 3, 1915.
HIS CON TION SEVERED
NEC
Japhet in search ot’ a father had no more dlflicult task
than Mr. W. E. Bentley in search of an excuse for trans- ferring his political allegiance.
Mr. Bentley announces he has 150110 0V9l` 10 me Grits'
body, soul and spirit. Of course he protests that he Ll still a Conservative and that it is the Conservative parli' that has gone astray. That is usually the way withde-
taulters. Now Mr. Bentley will be in the congenial coin- pnny of that stalwart “temperance" reformer and "proin- bitionist", Mr. J. J. Johnston, wilo so ably Bild 910fl\l¢D\lY
defends the rum-sellers charged with contravention of the Prohibition Act. Henceforth it will be Johnston, Bent- ley & (‘o. lf you vote as Mr. Bentley is going to vote }'0\1 support the drink traffic. The drink traffic has declared war on the Mathieson Government and Mr. Bentley has rushed to their assistance. Of course, there is no personal or pecuniary matter at all in Mr. Bentley’s change of politics. So long as Mr. Bentley was drawing rich rewards in tees from the Mathieson Government, fees for services rendered, but which the Patriot describes by terms not altogether flattering to Mr. Bentley, Mr. Bentley had nothing but contempt for the Patriot and its Grit sul)- porters. When the Temperance Alliance, for which he is counsel, were financially well off, Mr. Bentley also shared in its prosperity, but these days also are past and gone. and Mr. Bentley’s paid services being now no longer re- quired either by the Mathieson Government or the Al- liance, l\lr. Bentley announces he has gone over to the enemy. They, he is shrewd enough to diagnose, are badly in want of a. leader, and he is the very man to fill the bill. Mr. Rogers is only a stop-gap, Mr. Bell is irn~ possible, and Mr. Johnston too erratic, so here is Mr. Llentley's chance. Desertion to the enemy on the field of battle is a traitrous act for which a man would be shot in active warfare. ln politics he is merely despised by all right~thinking men of both parties. Mr. Bentley is after the loaves and fishes. lie has _no chance of picking up any crumbs from the Conservatives, so he makes a bid for what may perchance fall from the Grit tables when, in u distant future fortune once more favours their political pretensions. l-le is welcome to them and the Grits are doubly welcome to their latest recruit and newest leader.
WHAT THE GRITS ARE (i0lN(i T0 D0
In the official programme of the Grit Party there is
very little to which exception might be taken; virtually so fur as it goes it is the Conservative platform of 1908.
But the unoiiicial programme as outlined by such
leading lights as the deposed Grit leader Mr. Palmer, the rising Grit leader, Mr. Peter Brodie, and other Grit orators is quite revolutionary.
Some of he planks are as follows.
Disband and dismiss all Agricultural instructors.
Dismiss Professor J. A. Clark.
Abolish the Experimental Station.
Disniiss Professor Ross. ` Abolish Farmers’ institutes and Women's Institutes. Disniiss Professor Benson.
Abolish Egg Circles.
We wonder how the farmers of Prince Edward Island
like the prospect. ‘
Ot' course it may be argued hy the opportunigt Pat.
riot. that neither Mr. Palmer ttor Mr. Brodie nor any other Grit orator is authorized to promulgate an unofilclal pro- gramme.
But they are thc men who are put up to represent tho
Grits. and have as tnllch authority and weight as Mr. Nash or Mr. J. J. Hughes.
NASTY FOR THE GRITS
Mr. Fcelinn rubbed it into the Grits at Winsloo over
the reduction of debt. Various Grit speakers took the liberty of doubting the reduction of the debt of the pro- vince under Mr. Mathieson‘s regime, and one of them re- ferred to the alleged increase of interest paid by the Gov- ernment. Questioned as to his authority for his asser- tion. tho orutor hesitated and then adpiitteri he had not the authority at hand. Mr. Feehan speedily supplied the figures front the Blue books as follows;

The Grit orators were dumb and hastily demanded the
close of the proceedings.
They could not bear to take their medicine.
GNASHING HIS TEETH
Messrs F. J. Nash and J. J. Hughes little expected
the roasting they received at Vemon River on Tuesday
might. They were literally dumbfounded whdll 'Premier
Mathleson appeared on the scene, for though -fhey_ had advertised ln lhn Pan-lm rm- 11.0. n..» rv,......~.n..`. -.tan
'at their word. Mr. Matliiesou concluded a most successful campaign in the Fifth District of_Kings by s. rousing meet- ing at Red House on Monday night. Instead of returning
to the city, next day he thought he might look in at Mr. Nash`s opening meeting-just to keep Mr. Nash within bounds, if possible. So he drove over to Vernon River, and if a bomb had dropped from the skies greater conster- nation could not have been caused in the Opposition camp. Mr. Hughes’ courage and bombast dropped to aero. Mr. Nash smiled a sickly smile looking as though he wished the earth would open and swallow him. At the
'meeting Mr. Nash and Mr. Hughes had the first say, and , made the most of their opportunity in the circumstances.
But their oratory lacked flow and conviction. It could easily be seen they were"‘reciting a story” in the DFSBBUCG of a master they could not hope to deceive. So they spoke and sat down. The meeting expectantly waited for some- thing erfective from Premier Mathieson in reply. And they were not disappointed. The Premier, in excellent form after u successful campaign in his own district thoroughly roasted Mr. Nash and Mr. Hughes, but especially the for- mer, ss Mr. Hughes wisely refrained from displaying to any great extent his ignorance of local politics. Mr. Nash writhed while the audience roared with laughter. Never in the political history of Belfast has a. Candidate made such an exhibition of himself’ as did poor Mr. Nash on this occasion. The Premier proved not only that Mr. Nash had grossly misrepresented facts and figures and the Govern- ment‘s record, but that he had been a traitor to his party and his own past. What is to be expected of a man who to 'serve the needs of the moment tramples truth, justice and righteousness under foot? That is the position of Mr. Nash, and that is the character the Premier gave him to his face before the Belfast constitutents, and that is the -character Mr. Nash accepted as his true description with- out a single word of protest.
Mr. Nash truly said four years ago, neither the
country nor the city had any use for him. Ho may amend that opinion today by adding that the people of Belfast loathe his political tactics as much as they despise his despicable opportunlsm.
HYPOCRICY
Nobody has any objection to Mr. David Scliurmnn, ltev.
W. D. Wilson and Rev. Mr. McVie taking the stump and carrying on a political campaign against Hon. Murdoch McKinnon or any other politician for or agnnst the Gov- ernment, but for the sake of common decency, for the sake of what the Temperance Alliance and the churches stand for, for the sake of all that is sacred in morality and reli- gion, they should drop tlte hypocritical whine about telli- perance and should hold their meetings elsewhere than in churches and with other accompaniments than prayers. People can tolerate politics as such in almost any form. If it becomes ridiculous they will laugh at it; if serious they will think it over. But a political campaign under the guise of temperance and religion, rabid and malignant Dl\l'l)'lSl\l Il'l1=\Sfl\1€l'll<llr1g as righteousness, are so utterly beneath C0“le111Dt that we would not notice it but for the stain that it places both upon tenlperauce and religion.
A (iR';_DEl"lNlTl0N
The Deposed Grit. Leader says the Government ofllci-
als-who by-tlte-by were for the most part appointed to their present position by Mr. Palmer and his friends and
ernment-do nothing for their salaries but 'sit in their offices with their feet on their desks smoking big cigars and looking out at the windows longing for four o"clock ‘° arriva that they may be relieved of their cnnui. \Ve i10De the officials likei the description of' their dny’s routine.
On the other hand tho Dcposed Leader says the oillci~
als run about the country piling up travelling expenses unnecessarily to the loa _and detriment of the country. What do -the farmers want with new tangled notions of agriculture? asks the Deposed Leader. What, indeed? Tile farmers will let the Deposed Leader know on September 16 and it will prove ample reason for ills deposition.
DEPOSED LEADER AND BANKERS
The deposed Leader of the Grit party is sore that
three skilled and independent bankers have declared that he and his colleagues plied up a huge debt of $1,072,000 for the farmers of this fair Island to shoulder. He says ite does not care the snap of his lingers for the actuarial rc- ports of these skilled officials. He and his party know how to cook accounts for the edillcutlon of the farmers better than any skilled bankers can expose them. We have not the least doubt upon the point. Only it is the people oi’ the province who had to shoulder the burden, while the deposed Leader and his successor merely pocketed their -salaries for letting the province run to bankruptcy. Why should Mr. Palmer care? He was allrlght anyway, and would be again were his friends returned to place and power.
