The appointment would merely be

SHUULD tXPLllH

Our attention has been called to a

statement alleged to have been made by Rev. Dr. Shearer at a meeting of the Moral Reform League recently held in the first Presbyterian Church in Edmonton. At the meeting re- ferred to he is reported to have said " at he was in possession: of a

sentatfve of Prince Edward Island” to the effect that 70 per cent of the voters there were "open for gi bribe." We are not told whom or what the "representative'»' represented in Prince Edward Island but, without mincing matters or wasting any words over it, we unheeitatingly de- clare the statement false and the man who made ft, whatever he represented se-putting it mildly-an irresponsi- ble ntatletlcian. We have ne, much authority for this statement as the "representative" had for his.

~ Alblrlill. lllllllr Ill ‘ll\lIUUe but umulungly ‘uhm

According to carefully Pl`°lN\l'€Il

onicial statistics Prince Edward Ie- land has tholoweet' record of crime of any Province in Canada. It is one of the oldest provinces in the Domin- lon, has more churches' and a larger church connection, per head, than any other province in Canada. If then, seven out of every ten of its voters are “open for a bribe," are ready to sell their principles for a price set by a corruptionist, it is a and commentary on the progress of Christianity and on the work in which the Rev. Dr. Shearer is engag ed. If Prince Edward Island is in this debased condition what of the ther Provinces? The falsehood of the statement is so pparent on the face of it that it will alarm no reformer, Little hart_n would result from the simple making of guch'a statement, even although "declared:’ over a signature, excellll to the.man \vho made it whom it would at once stigmatize as an irre- sponsible. It is from the revetiticl of such by men holding responsible positions, as Dr. Shearer does, that the real harm comes. In this case the Province of Prince Edward Is- land has been foully slandered; its sons and daughters, many of whom must have heard the unkind remark. were put to shame amcllg strangeml religious progress and moral reform were broughtvinto ridicule among the enemies of Christianity and morality. Foreigners pouring into Canada in thousands yearly and whom the Christian churches are endeavoring to christianize and to weave into a Ca- nadian nationality will form their ideas of both Christianity and Cana- dian nationality on statements rrrsde bv men in Dr. Shearer’s position. What will they think of their adop- es nation and of the offered Christ-

ianity when they learn that sev- en out of every ten in one of its oldest and most cultured provinces are ready to sell honor, country or

God for .1 price?

Prince Edward Island is not with-

out its share of political corruption. It is probably little better than if.s sister provinces in this respect. Why it should hc singled out for this pur- ticular insnlt in n distant province. a large proportion of whose people are Prince Edward Islanders it is difficult to imagine. It is onlv a few weeks since that the Guardian called in Question a statement made by Rev. G. Albert Moore to the effect thatseventy pci' cent. of thc voters in the Dc-minion were open to brib- ery. The statistician who figured out this percentage, although equally mistaken, was at least more consider- ate than the "representative" quoted

by Dr. Shearer.

Dr. Shearer has been entrusted

with a great work in connection with the Lord's Day Alliance. He

and his associates have done much for Canada and we cheerfully give them credit for it, but we are com- pelled to add that' extreme state- ments such as the one referred to ‘ whether in denouncing evil or in nd- vocating morality, are calculated to do irreparable injury. If Dr. Shear- er, as is alleged, repeated the state- ment referred to, it is up tc. him to let the public know who his infor- mant was or at least what he repre- sented in Prince Edward Island, otherwise much that he shall hence- forth say will be taken with .1 goo,-1_ ly admixture of salt. ............. __ . .

CllilDl\’S IHDEBIEDHESS

Assertions by Liberal journals that

the Borden' Government has been adding extensively to the net debt of the country are strangely inaccur. ate. The Borden Government in its two years of ofhce has reduced the debt by many million dollars.

What makes these accusations the

stranger is that they come from ‘ n uertv which in -its period of power greatly increased the net debt. On June 30, 1898, this stood at $254,. 000,000 and on June 30, 1911, at $340,600,000, the increase thus being some eighty millions. The net debt now stands at less than $300,000,000, having in two years been reduced hy over forty millions.

(Arthur Page in Bluckwood's.) “Those who go forward in the nat-

tle may be killed. Those who go 1 pack will be killed.”--Zulu Proverb.

l'olit.lcs and politicians are out oi

favour. The proporti'on`of the elect- ors who feel any real pride in either the matter or the methods of latter- day legislation must be very small. it may frankly be admitted that the dignity and character of legislators has in recent years undergone a change for the worse. This deterior- ation of calibre, such as it is, how- ever, has not' been caused, as short- sighted persons are wont to aver, by the possesiou of a salary of £400 a- year (for the payment of members is an effect' and not the cause of the change) nor by the desire of mem-- bers to make use of a seat in Par- liament for purposes of personal aggrandisement. The falling off /can be traced in the main to the Zrowiuil apathy and indifference of the elect- ors, and it is time that -the people took stock oi the position.

It is fi profound n".1.xim that n na-

tion is no better than its women; it is equally true that members of Par- liament are seldom better than those who elect them.. In n word, the per- sonnel of thc House of Commons is what the people want it to be, no better and no worse. If the electors are indiderent whether politicians conduct their business in accordance ‘with high principles or not, and are minded to give their votes to the man who is most lavish with his promises, or with his subscriptions regardless of cdect which the per- formance of such promises may have upon the common weal, the result will be that Parliamentary business will not be carried on with n scrup- ulous respcct for the good name and traditions of Parliament, and politi- cians will be found less ready to support legislation framed in the in-

., terests of the community at large,

than measures which will ba. good electionecring business when they have again to ask for the confidence cf their constituents. On the other hand, if the electors are determined that their representatives shall be men of ability and honour, they will elect men of high character to man- age thc affairs of the nation. Presi- dent Woodrow Wilson has some pert- inent observations to offer on this subject in dealing with the Senate oi the United Statesl "The Senate is just what the mode of its election and the conditions of public life in this country make it. Its members are chosen from the ranks of active politicians in accordance with thc law of national selection to which the State Legislaturos are commoulv obedient. It is probable that it con tains, consequently, the best men that our system calls into politics. There cannot be 9, separate breed public men reared especially for the Senate. It must be recruited from the lower branches of the representa- tive system of which it is the top most part. No stream can be purer than its sources. The Senate can have, indeed, no better men than the best men of the House of Represent- ativc, and if the House of Representa- tives attructs to itself only inferior talent, the Senate must put up with the same sort .... ..'l‘hus the Senate, though it may not be as good as could be wished, is as good as it can be under the circumstances. It contains the perfect product of our politics, whatever that product may be." It seems to be clear then, that the

main source of the superficial think- luz and the weakness of moral char- acter which forms so large 3 part of the stock-in-trade of present day leg- islators will be found to be the’ crass indifference and selfishness of the neonle. .

From a cable to Summerslde from Paris, on 'the lilth-the birth of A _daughter to Prince and Princess .vfichel Murat is anuutraced. The r-'x-incees was formerly Mies Helena lrIcDonnld Btallo and well knownr in

it seems almost incredible that the l .-lectorsiehould expect from their ‘ representatives so meagre an account l of their stewardship, and should ex- ercise so slender g control over Par- liamentary proceedings. Yet so it is! rvhv was it that the Swansea School Case was allowed to pass almost un- noticed and wholly unrebuked by the' electors? Where could be found nl .note flagrant abuse of administra- tive power by a Government depart-

ment- an abuse, too, which thai .aw officers were instructed to per- sist in, and to attemt to justify up co the highest tribunal in the land?

Again, did the _electors fail to real- _

.ze the crowning treachery of thc Government in seizing the preroga-r .ive of the Crown to secure the pass- age of the Parliament Bill, or were. .hey merely indifferent to the con-~ atitutionnl outrage which had been :om~mitterl'.’ Suflicc it to say that iothing has yet been done to bring .he perpetrators of the outrage to, look. On many other rccent occasions the ' lpirit and tradition of Parlialrlentary irocedure have been flouted at West-I ninister. Two instances will demon-5

itrate the point. What can possiblyi Je urged in extenustion of the man-_ ner in which Mr. Lloyd George drought the doctors to heel? Everv_ me was agreed that unless local doc- _ tors could be induced to join the ' a

Lloyd George for the purpose in hand I was in cflect to say to the recalcitr-I ants, “You had better ‘ come into ine or I will send down Government blacklegs to ruin you, and deprive you of the chance of earning H livlihood

for yourselves and your families."

Wherein does the chancellor of thc

Exchequer diller in his methods from .he Inquisition in olden times? The `ack anolierl to torture the mind is io less painful-than when it used to :ortnrn the body, in each case the :xtrn turn of the screw will bring all out the most courageous spirits to the point of submission, and our mo- dern Inquisitor did not flinch from reins: to the full the instrument in his hands. Who caved? What steps have the public taken to show their ‘ismvnroval of this administrative in- tolerance? M‘r."L1oyd George and his adherents appear accurately to have summoned up the temper of the elect- orate. Vnrily they are not without

wisdom 'in their own Eenerationl.

Again. how many neople have even

heard of the shameful breach of faith in which' the Government were at one time 'prepared to acquicsce in respect of the railways (No. 2.) Act re-` zently before Parliament? It may -rove useful to recall the facts. In August 1911 the Government were anxious to bring about a settlement of the railway strike upon ifues of which they had approved. "We were pressing' the railway companies very hard," said Mr. Buxton, the Presi-| dent of the Board of 'l‘ratle, in mov- ing the second reading of the Bill, "to agree to proposals very dis-_

tef 1 th ` l '

tas u to cm in many ways, ani to accept also a position which would undoubtedly lead to increased :xpenditure on their part. It seemed fair to the Government that if wc forced them to comply with that pressure that that should be accom- 1snied by reconition of their mor-

certaln extent, for that engagement. That is how the undertaking of the Government arose. The Government having given this undertaking, the representatives of the companies there-upon agreed with the represent- atives of the men to accept to thc full any recommendations made by the Royal Commission, even though they might involve recognition, and even although pecuniary. liabilities might be thereby involved .... ..The un

at whatever cost to themselves."

On furyher consideration of the Bm
