There is trouble brewing among the aL'.'El`€88l~i0“ Of
Grits whom the Patriot machine thrust upon an unwilling electorate. Every machine man almost had his Dl'lC€ be' fore he consented to risk his name as a chamDi0!\ ‘lf H 103° cause. Now that the election is approaching it transplres more than one Grit was promised the same ofiice in the un- likely event of the Grits being returned to power within the next twenty years. One candidate bargained as his price that he should be made leader _of the Opposition with thc reversion of the Premiership at some future date. Another was definitely promised the attorney-generalship; while it third was solemnly assured that when "the day" came for a return of Grit rule, his services at the present juncture would be remembered by the bestowal of the Gov- ernment Secretarysliip. But there are more constituen- cies tlian there are portfolios, and there have been more promises than possibly can be fulfilled. So certain gentlemen have kicked, and kicked to some tune. A de- mand is now being made that all the Grit candidates should enter the .contest on even terms, with notlilng but the “rustle of the hay" to attract their ambitions. There niust be no binding promises made beforehand, say certain laivyers. There is only one attorney-generalship and why should one man have the promise of that in his pocket while another, equally incompetent maybe, goes into the fight without a stivcr as a retainer or even the prospect of reward?
Complaint is hitter in certain quarters against the
'l‘nti'iot and the Pioneer for pinning their faith in Mr. J. H.
Bc-.ll as the comng leader of the Opposition, Mr. Bell is not slow' to profit by his opportunities, Every other day ho bobs \ip scrcnely in the editorial columns ol' the Patriot and Pioiieer-always in juxta-positloii to Premier Mathie- son. We have been told again and again the vriliunt ser- vices hc i'oiiilci'eil in bcnrdiiig the lion in his den at Mal- pciiiic, or wus it. the tiger' in his lair? Aiiywuy it does not matter niuch; ull that docs matter is that Mr. llcll is proininciitly stairrorl in opposition to the Preniicr to on- llil" llllll N1 the Vlléllt. of lli.st will siifiulil the electors of l-‘oiirtli Priiicc so -far forget tliciiisul\'f¢¢: ns to return liiin

A NATl0N’S SOUL
We learn through our exchanges that the railroad men
of Rome and Milan, italy, have declined to accept pay for extra work entailed in the mobilization of the Italia" army. ln the course of a statement of their reasons for declining the special remuneration the workers declared. “We would feel ourselves humiliated if we were not willing to give our toll while others give their llvel for Uilll' country."
The soul ol’ the Italian nation ls awake, and when the
soul of a nation speaks thus through the lips of those on whom devolves the task of continuing with as llbtle dis- ruption as possible, the civil life of the nation at war, friend and foe must recognize that this nation isa force in the field not to be despised.
Italy is at war; so are we. italy may be actuated by
motives that arc more directly semtimental than those which actuated us, She has a long score to settle with Austria and the settlement of that score has for genera- tions seethed in the Italian blood. There is n. compound of patriotism and revenge, and the Italian blood is up. Now everytlilng else must be subordinated to tha~dQor-i minatioii to snatch the “stolen” provinces from the enemy.- Whiit matters the few hours of extra work that the rail- road men can give while others are giving tholr lives? What. matters llie temporary sacrifice of luxury and com- fort so long as tho hope endures of gaining buck those provinces, of driving out the enemy, of being once more masters of their own land? Everything that the Italian has, his time, his energy, his labor, his life, is thrown into the effort to win his country back. And what a force such an awakened country must prove in the struggle. A nation whose soul is afiame with the determination to save itself is a tlilng to be seriously reckoned with.
We in Canada, in our little province _of Prince Edward
island, have not yet taken to heart the position we occupy in the war. it is only as our sons are taken one by one, only as we pay our share of the “price of admiralty" that we become really awake, that we fully realize the part we are to play in thc struggle before us. And we are slowly awakening, but only slowly. ‘ Few of us have yet thrown In our extra hours; few have sacrificed any of our com- forts or even our luxuries; few have thrown up our posi- tions in order to give our service to our country. To many of us the war is yet afar off; it is someone else's country that ls in peril, someone else’s business to save lt; someone clse that must go to the front, give their money. make sacrifices.
And yet we have more to lose than Italy has, should
the ~Sfl'\l88le go against us; we have our liberty and our °°“"t"Y 1° I°9°» 118|? Only a few provinces; and the end
Entry] no means in sight. The "men and more men" that
c ener called for have not yet all come in and they are
needed. The machine guns. the motor ambulances, the aeroplanes needed to prosecute the war succefully have not yet been provided and the funds are open to receive contributions. We still have men and money and time and labor to give and we are not all giving of them. When "W" ‘V9 "°l"¢@- ll lilly has realized, as the are real

sacrifice there shall be disaster? Are we sharing equally ln the sacrifice or are we carrylnz so many parasites as to endanger the life of the Empire?
The machine gun fund is still open; the recruiting
books are still open and our national salvation depends upon every man doing his duty.
' THE UNKINDEST CUT '
At Montague Premier Manhieson, having no Grit plat-
form to criticize, naturally asked what had the Govern-
ment candidates to face at the coming election? He did not hesitate to speak the truth when he said that their opponents' were the most disorganized rabble that ever presumed to iight an election. The Liberal party of the past has been completely swept away, and merely an ag- gregation of ofliceseekers has taken its place-with not only not a leader, but without a man out of which a leader could be made. The Opposition has no party, no pro- gramme,`and is without anyone competent to draft a political programme that would be worth the paper it was written on. What should be done with such a rabble? One cannot treat it seriously, for there is no one to voice the views of the motley crowd, and if there were, the others would dlsown his leadership.
Yesterday the Patriot took exception to the Premier-'s_
criticism, and published a list of Rabble candidates but- most significantly enough-`-omitted the name of Mr. F. J. Nash! , Surely the unklndest cut of all, when the editor was taking exception to the Premier's charge that there were more records of defeat and failure in the so-called Opposition than had ever before been presented to the people of Prince Edward Island. Why Mr. Nash himself received the greatest defeat ever administered a candidate in Belfast, and followed this up with a record crushing de- feat in Charlottetown. So unequivocal were the defeats 'that the Patriot confessed that it was satisfied neither the country nor the city had any use for its editor’s services. Since then the Patriot's principal delight has been to vent its spleen on the party that brought about Mr. Nash's downfall. Personal revenge and dire mallgnity have char- acterized tlie policy of the Patriot during the past three or four years until spleen is the only word to describe its editorial attitude. It has no word of reasoned criticism to offer, no constructive policy to advocate; all it has done ‘and evidently can do is to appeal to the petty, the mean,- the splteful element ln public life and to cater to that by suggestolns and innuendo, betraylig a low standard of public life and a poor opinion of its readers. No aggrega- tion ever succeeded or ever possibly could succeed whlcli had as its nioutli-piece an organ appealing only to the baser, the coarser, and the degraded element in tho com- munity.
“GOD SAVE 0UR MEN "
The Earl of Dunraven writes as follows to the London
Daily Mull, and we have been asked to publish his lord- ship's letter, which we do with pleasure:-
in what is rightly described in your issue of Saturday
as "a stirring and touching” letter to the Australian wounded the following words occuri-
Every Sunday now we are singing the following lines
after “God Save the King" in Church ami Sunday School. They appeared in the "Argus Extraordinary" with tht- first honour roll in it:
God save our splendid nieni Send them safe home ugiiiii!
(lod save our men.
Keep them victorious,
l’uticnt anti cliivalronfi,
'llicy arc so dear to us;
God save our nicn.
l wish to say that the lines quoted were written by Mrs
Niiiitzi Iilcniierliiissi-tt, one of tliv Rcd Cross ladies uttaclicti lo my liospitirl carrier yacht Grianalg, at the present nioinent at sen, and appeared with the suggestion flint they should be sung with “God Save the King" in it letter published by the “Morning Post ” on March 14.1 I uni glad that the suggestion fell on fruitful soil in Australia, and regret that it has not been more widely adopted. We and our Allies are engaged in a flght.to a finish in which the forces of good and evil are at deadly grips.
Waiting the other day in the anteroom of a " person-
age" “ somewhere in the War Office," I noticed in large letters, "Vlctory comes by prayer." ln a struggle that may he almost termed "cosmic" all of the forces of the Emplre~those that can and those that cannot be physi- cally expressed-should be brought into action.
The lines quoted above do give expression to our
aspirations. our admiration, our gratitude, and our syni- pathy. They can be used anywhere, at any time; but “God Save the King" echoes perpetually throughout an Empire on which the sun never sets, and they seem singularly appropriate in connection with the National Anthem. ‘
NOTES
,‘-"T79-"`d§f’“`iU,iIl. 5.
By an oversight we neglected to reply to an enquiry
directed to us by the Suinmerside Pioneer, and are re- minded of our omission in yesterday’s issue of our Con- temporary. The Pioneer wants to know how we made up the $14,500 we gave as the cost of the Agricultural Hall, Summerslde. Our figures were wrong. The cost of the Agricultural Halls at Sumnierside and Charlottetown should have been given as $14,000. The cost of the hall at Summerslde was $8,500 and $691 has been expended on repairs, making $9,191 altogether.

THE VOICE.
Christians are not exempt
from clouds. Their path is not always bordered with
sunshine. .
Those who seek the
heights must tread difiicult trails, and painfully climb preclplces and lonely peaks. and when they are on the summit they are more than ever exposed to clouds and storms.
But out of overwhelming
clouds on mystery and sor- row God spealu to loyal and loving hearts.
The vllldest storms are
prfvflons of Goth presence, and trusting hearts can hear
at 25 p. c off.
