THURSDAY, JUNE 3, 1915.

THE KlN(i’S BIRTHDAY

Throughout the length and breadth of tlic‘ British

Empire this day will be celebrated in a manner never hithetro experienced in the world’s history. THE KING, GOD BLESS HIM. LONG LIVE THE KING! Klli§ George V. represents all that is best, greatest and most. glorious in religion, humanity and civilisation. Wherever his flag is unfurled tyranny and oppression vanish aud_ freedom. justice and mercy take their Dlfme- T045! U16 Empire and three-fourtlis of the civilised world are en- gaged iii a deadly conflict for the sole purpose of maln- taining the principles of right, truth, honour and justice, for which the flag at all times has stood and for ever shall stand. Right must_pi~evail, but right only can prevail when men are forthcoming to battle for the right. King George V. does not merely represent right and righteousness; he is the “defender of the faith "; and as the defender of the faith he practices what he preaches. George V. much more resembles in his -manner of life Queen Victoria the Good than even his father, King Edward, did. _He is a. family man, never happier than when surrounded by his Queen ,and royal family. Following Mark ’I’waln's advice, he ‘believes that the best way to train up a child in the way he should go is for the old man to go that way himself. There are three outstanding principles at the foundation of lthe King’s manner of living. lie never travels on Sunday, with him it is a day of rest and family reunion. He attends Church at least once every Sunday. He reads a chapter of his bible every day of the week. These are customs not now universally observed, but they are the basis of Britain's greatness, and it is pleasant to think that, however unfasliionable they may have become outside the royal circle, the King of Great Britain and Ireland and the Doniinions beyond the seas does not consider himself too exalted to neglect the precepts and example of his royal mother. Queen Alexandra, and his royal grandmother, Queen Victoria the Good. He has added to these virtues within the past few weeks the further one of total abstin- ence for himself and household during the continuance of the war. He himself has always been an abstainer since early manhood, and now he is a prohibitioiiist.

King George is probably more British and imperialist

than any king that has occupied the British throne. ln early life he spent much time in touring the Colonies and British possessions, becoming thoroughly imbued with the lniperialist_i_c spirit. He took as the partner of his joys and sorrows a British princess. and he settled down to all the comforts and happiness of home life in a manner clinracteristic of British donicsticity. There has been no gaddliig about the (fontineiit, sans wife, sans childrcii sans kingsliip, with George V. He has made England and Scotland his dwelling-placc, and when he has had leisure from his klngly duties hc has spent the time visiting the industrial centres of his kingdom. studying the social problems on the spot and interesting himself in all that coiicerus the joys and sorrows of the humblest and most hardworking of his loyal subjects. Hence he has attained the distinction of being known in the “black country" of England as “Aar Jarge" (“ Our George ")-not a. term of familiarity so much as of ciidearment. Elsewhere he is spoken of as “ The I’cople's George" just because he has of his own volition devoted himself to furthering and nilvaiiciiig the commercial and industrial interests of his people. His memorable words at the Mansion House on his return from his tour of the Dominions still ring ln our ears, applicable as they are sto the present conditions, “ Wake up; Eiiglandl "

To-day there will not lic the rejoicing and galety that

might have been under iliffcneiii, circumstances, as it is llis Miijesty's express wish that there should he no piibllc dinners. balls or other celebrations apart from the flying of thc Union Jack, the review of troops, and the firing of the royal salute. But the day will be none the less loyally and dcvotedly observed on that account, for the Kliig has set a noble example in sending two of his sons to the front. The Prince of Wales is in France. and Prince Albert, who visited this Island about eighteen months ago, is with Jolltcoe's fleet in the North Sea.

The heartfelt prayer of all loyal subjects to~day will be

"G00 SHVB U10 Kills. Send lilni victorious, happy and glorious, long to reign over us, God save our King."

LIBERAL EVIL DAYS

The once great Liberal party has fallen upon very evil

days. lt has no leaders iii whom it can trust. It went down to defeat on the reciprocity issue because these leaders were false to Canada and it has been reduced to a still sad- der ruin because these same leaders are false to the Em- pire. lt is hard to see in what respect the banner of Can- adian Lll>@\'BllHm C0\Ild be worse besmlrclied or the old principles of the old Liberal party more utterly abaiiiloned. The loss of office has been followed by an exhibition of party mismanagement and of a shameful opportunlsm in the face of a great imperial crisis which has had the lu- evitable effect of alienating thousands of dopent minded Llbemls fl‘°U1 U10 DHT-5' D! which-they were once proud.

The name of Laurier, once a name to _conjure with, has

become a hyword in Canada. The instinct of true leader- ship does not exist in any of the incn who are striving and jostling for first place in the party at Ottawa. The party has tumbled to pieces and those who should have rebuilt it have brought upon it s more complete destruction. Sitice the close of the session, a session which brought the very name of Liberalism into disrepute. there have been numer- ous evidences of the hopeless condition in which the party finds itself.

Sir Wilfrid Laurier has been spending his. time vainly

seeking by explanations, promises and persuasion to get the party together and to satisfy them that a continuance of his leadership does not mean it still more dipmpl wreck in the future. The tragic part of this situation is to be found ln the fact that Sir Wilfrid Laurier is compelled to do this sort of work since this man had merely to lift s finger and iobring to his door all those leading party men whom now he has to go a seeking, hat in hand, wherever they happen to`be. ` 1 \ . ll \.

chance of his life, a chance to rehabilitate himself with

extent at least, a chance to

prove himself a great Canadian and to give to the world an illustration of Cnnadian_ur_iity in support of the Empire ln a critical time! Liberals from all over Canada urged him to take this high statesmanlike course. He did not listen to them.

Little Canadian course, to make party politics out of a great Imperial question and to shame Canada in the eyes of the world. lt will be a long time before Canadians for- get that injury. It will require a lot of missionary work by ‘Sir Wilfrid Laurier before that slain is worn away.

WHERE THE MONEY’S SAVED

ln its yesterdays issue the Patriot gives another inspir-

ing comparison between the present Government and the biuikrupt clique which served as a government pre- vious to 1912. This time it has chosen the Department of Public Works for its demonstration, and here is the result: The Liberals, in 1911, spent $3,971.96 on this Department in ,salaries and travelling expenses, according to the Patriot. According to the Public Accounts their annual average expenditure on capital account and permanent works was $10,934.41. In other words, th¢ir salaries and travelling expenses amounted, in round numbers, to 33 1-3 per cent. of their outlay on permanent works.

The Conservatives in 1914,according to the Patriot, spent

'$9,080.56 on salaries and travelling expenses. According to the Public Accounts their annual average expenditure on capital account and permanent works was $51,290.50. In other words, their salaries and travelling expenses amounted, in round numbers, to 17'/2 per cent. of their

Or, JUST ONE HALF OF

WHAT THE LIBERALS HAD SPENT.

Wfhat the Patriot fails to grasp is that it is comparing

a going concern with a concem that " went broke ” after twenty years of deplorable mismanagement. The Patriot does not appear to understand this, but the great majority

of its readers sec it and \vc are indebted to our esteemed contemporary for bringing the points to their notice. Nothing can do the Matliieson Government more good than to make these comparisons, and certainly notliing can so effectually save the country from ii repetition of

_ A remarkable passage occurs in "The Life of Beiijainin

Dlsraeli," iii an extra ct from aletter written by him on the probable result of the dispute between Germany and Den- mark over Sclilesing-Holstein. We quote:

“But Germany,whlch possesses almost every other nd-

vautage, is not a great naval power, and Germany wants af coast. This is the real reason why Denmark, supposed to be weak, is to be invaded in this age of liberty on the plea of nationality. It is to gain the harbors of the Baltic, and to secure the mouths of the Elhe, that thc plea of German nationality is put forth. . . . in -order that Prussia may suddenly appear as a great maritime power. I do not wish to argue this case with respect to thc interests of England.

about whether it is or is not

for the interest of England that n new naval power should spring up among the nations of the Baltic or the northern seas. But this I wish to lay down as a principle-that it is for the interest of England, and not of England alone, but of all Europe. that peace siiould be maintained. And peace cannot be maintained if the policy of Prussia be permitted to pass unnoticed and unccnsured."

Disracli was att his time ln opposition. , Prussia pre-

vailed and when Lord Salisbury in a moment of weakness gave her I-ieligoland she soon became a formidable mari-

time power. Disra oil was well iiciniaiiited with foreign affairs and his observations on them were always sngaclous

PRAYER OF HELP

"O Lord. support us all

day long of this troublous life. until the shadows lengthen and the evening comes and the busy world is hushed and the fervour of lilo is over, and our work is done. Then in Thy mercy grant us a safe lodging and a holy rest, and peace at the last, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen."

The words of this prayer

are like gentle dew drop- ping on the patched ground. They speak of rest and peace and the passing of li_fe‘s troublous hours. Such is the comfort which comes to those bereaved to~day. They think of those who have gone, as having given

,thpir lives for the cause of
