The Charlottetown railway wharf presents s. busy scans these days when the loading of the steamer “Snar" is in full swing. She will take about 60.000 bushels of potatoes and 20,000 bushels of turnips for New, York, shipped by the Potato Growers’ Association. Prom long lines o1’ railway cars. from motor trucks, from teams, potatoes are be- ing discharged into the big railway shed and from there are put on board the steamer through five gangwsys. One hundred longshore- men are employed, and as these re- ceive 50 cents an hour of about $0 per doy, it will be readily seen that a consids ..bic ount of money is distributed among the laboring class.

Fruit Firm Opens Branch. In City

Mr. J. G. Willelt, President and General Manager of the Wlllett Fruit Co. Ltd, Saint John and Moncton, together with Mr. Chas. Morrison. Saint John, director, are now in the City superintendlng the opening of n branch warehouse at 71 Queen St.

Their firm is this year celebrating their thirtieth anniversary by ex- tending thelr services to cover the Island territory. Mr. Willett began business in Saint John as a com- mission agent single handed in Oc- tober, 1905, the business expanding from this small beginning until s. complete liiieof all kinds of foreign and domestic fruits were added to the varieties of local fruits and vag- etables usually handled by local commission agents. About fifteen years ago a Dried Fruit department was added, and in recent years a. new development was the packag- ing of Raisins under the fi.rm‘s own traclc mark.

The firm has kept up with the changing methods in business by installing modern machinery for washing vegetables and reolesning of dried fruits before being shipped out to customers. Specially design- ed rooms for the ripening of ban- anas and tomatoes scientifically and modern storage faculties are pro- vided in both St. John and Monctori warehouses, which were specially designed before being built for the fruit and produce trade.

Because of the health articles 1n leading magazines and the general belief that fresh fruit and fresh leafy uncooked vegetables are very essential for good health, the con- sumption has increased by leaps and ‘bounds in the lust decade, which calls for continuous supplies being always on hand to satisfy the ever increasing demand. The retail trade in groceries and fruits are cordially invited to inspect the fully assorted stock of fresh fruits and imported vegetables now on display, as the Company opens its doors for business this morning.

Mr. J. Pope Clark, Charlottetown, with several years experience in the fruit. Jobbing business, will be in charge of sales, assisted by Mr. Harold Partridge and Mr. Geo Stsmers. The Branch is being man- aged by Mr. C. Morrison, Saint John.

While I believe in democracy in preference to absolutism as a form of government, I am aware that a large number of people have lost faith in its efficacy, and it is on trial and challenged as 1t never was before.

This conditions recalls to mind Edmond Burke's famous cplgram "Eternal vigilance is the price oi liberty."

Democracy having stripped oer- tain classes of power and privil- eges it is natural that they should ever strive to cripple and destroy it. In discussing this question I in- tend to confine my remarks pretty much to the English world, because I bellcve that it has had a greater expresion lii

the United States and the British ,

Commonwealth of Nations. than in any other country, with the pos- sible exception of Switzerland.

The old saying “The King can do no wrong," was as fsfse and misleading as the modern expres- sion “The voice of the people is the voice of God." The King was capable of all kinds of wrongs, as the people are capable of all kinds of mischief. ' .

The rowth of democracy is very slow because education and social and economic freedom will need to

0 precede electoral freedom, or the

people mistaking it for licence ma. not knowl how to use it. Great riches and poverty arc alike the foes of llbertv. the former by creat- ing ‘uxury that encrvatcs; the lat-

o tor by depressing thc spirit of o.

people.

Though the Barons wrestcd the "Great Charter" from King John in the ear1y‘y.=ars of the thirteenth century and through the efforts of Simon DeMontfoi-t and others a Parliament was granted to the people of England, the growth of representative institutions was

o slow and was riot perfected until

centur‘ r afterwards.

Years would pass without the summoning of Parliament and Kings were not alone to blame. Evcn the great Protector who won his position by a. fight in defence of the rights of Parliament at last became a. dictator and ruled alone.

Agriculture was the basic in- dustry upon which their super- structure if greatness was built. The farmers were oppressed and impoverished l‘ke those on the Continent of Europe. People lived in hovels and the comforts of life were few. A tight roof and even a floor were mre among the lab- ouring population of Europe not very long ago.

It was not however the absence of creature comforts, even the simplest that constituted the great- est hanlshlp of medieaval life. Thlers has well said: "Man's greatest possession ls himself and this is a very modern possession,

which may not endure. The right ~

to one’s self, to use one’s own fac- ulties, physical arid intellectual; one’s own brain, eyes, hands. feet, in a. word to his sou! and body, is an incontestable right. Under the old regime in many parts of Eur- ope the individual had no such in- contesteble right. It was a time when the prying eye of the gov- ernment followed the hatcher to the shambles, and the baker to the oven. When the farmer could not take the produce which he raised to market until he had bought leave to do so, nor consume what remained of his grain until he had sent it to his rulers mill to be ground, noi- full his clothes on his own works, nor sharpen his tools on his own grindstone.

Pmgrem Delayed

If them had been more oppor- tunity for individual endeavor. if a. man could have had nu own field, his own cattle, and the in- dividual right to use his property and his own faculties as best he might, political liberty would not have been so long delaycd- Intro- duction of new methods, with the seeding of grasses and clovers, was slow, but it was not until these new methods were practised that improvement of agriculture first became possible. Enclosures of the open fields which had slowly begun long before made lr/ge increases in the eighteenth century, and with separate ownership came individ- usl opportunity and private In- itiative. Lord Charles Townsend and Iiord Ieicester introduced the four course system of agriculture. which made turnip and clover, or grass important crops in English farming, and thus taking advant- age .of private ownership of fields crested one of the greatest and most beneficial revolutions in hu- mm conditions which mankind has known in the last two thous- and yen-s. By creating an era of prmperlty and a. lofty spirit of in- dependence the masses. Britain hes built ub a system of democracy that challenges the ad- mlretlon of the world. When it csnbe truly said "the King can do no wrong." and better still who would not want to even if he could. A realm in which the scales of Justice are justly held between all dull.

rich and another for the poor. Where crime is punished and merit brings its own reward. On this side of the Atlantic we are in- clined to pride ourselves on our democratic institutions, but I think they are somewhat overworked. It is to the credit of the United States that they have developed under republican institutions, the richest and one of the greatest nations of the world, in a. material sense at least. But as the years roll by the making of government and law is not functioning too well "in the land of the free." Forces have arisen which will have to grappled with. the subduing of which should not be beyond the resources of so great s. country.

Across the front of the court house in Worcester. Mamachusetts, runs in great letters the inscrip- tion: "Obedience to Law ls Lib- erty." Harry Emerson Fbsdick, one of their noted writers, makes these comments 0n this inscrip- tlon:

Fundamental Truth

“That truth is the foundation of the democratic experiment. 'I‘hat idea, not a wild and wayward disobedience is the true basis of democracy.”

There 1s no magic by which the democratic experiment can be saved, if mad insistence on in- divldual liberty continues to crowd out sober recognition of social ob- ligation.

That lawlessness is rampant needs no long demonstration. Con- sider the fact that in the last thirty-five years we have lynched over three thousand people.

We would like to nlead the dif- ficulty of dealing with the colour line in this country, but over a thousand white people have been lynched in that time.

Or consider our criminal record. 1n one year Chicago with its two millions and a. half of inhabitants hnd twenty more murders than the whole of Great Britain with their thirty-eight million people. And the City of. New York had six t'mes as many culpable homicides as the City of Imidon. I look upon war as one of democracys greatest foes. While it is true that after the Great War some of the smaller nations lflChlEl/Cd liberty, on the whole the world has not been made safe for demnzracy. On the contrary it has given rlsc to three important dictatorships, holding sway in three great countries, Russia, Gcnnany and Italy. And while Stalin, Hitler and Mussolini have been of some benefit to their respective countries their danger looms up in lurid colors in the passing of the years. The Italian dictator struts across the stage of modern history as if he imagined that he has been invested with the proud mantles of Caesar and Napoleon. In his desire to grab a neighbour's country he has let slip the “Dogs of War," he has en- dangered the peayc of the world. and has led Italy to the brink of a. precipice.
