THE COMING‘ SESSION

Charlottetown will

elconling to

Tomorrow have‘ the pleasure ot‘ temporary citizenship the members of the new legislature. This wel- come is always a warm one and is extended without. regard to party or creed or nationality. The mem- bers are representatives of their respective uJnBUIUODCIGS, selected by them as their fittest and will be so received by our citizens. To our visitors from within and with- out the province our legislative sessions are a measure of our people as a whole. These are our repre- sentative men, the men by whom the stranger at least tries to ascer- tain what manner of men the rest of us are.

We anticipate no adverse judl- ment on account of our ‘present re- presentatives. Taken as a whole we believe they will measure up very favorably with any who have preceded them and that their delib- erations will be conducted with dig- nity and intelligence. _'l‘hey will have much to guide them botll in the matter of following and avoid- ing. They have the experience of former legislatures to guide them, some experiences which they will do well to follow, some which they will do well to avoid. Their immediate predecessors, it will be remembered, were short lived. They‘ came into. power with a strong majority. Like many indiv- iduals they were unable to stand the strain of prosperity. They re- garded their unusual success as an evidence of unusual wisdom and ability and spent the greater por- tlonlof their successive sessions in singing their own praises- So con- vincing, to themselves, was this self adulation that they succeeded in convincing themselves whereas they were worth only $200 when they into pow- cr they were now worth $500 each and proceeded to take it. The measule their usefulness throughout the country was un- changed however, and those who elected them discharged them. This, We feel sure, will be avoided.

As to the ability of the present House to grapple with the present problems before it we have no doubt. Nor have we any doubt that there shall be difficulties. These naturally will depend upon the financial position left by the former government and which very properly, has not yet been made public. It will come in good time snd until then all speculation is as

' useless as it is absurd.

Tomorrow the legislature will open with the usual ceremonies and thereafter the work of the session will gradually unfold itself. In the meantime wo cordially welcome our representatives to the city and trust that their short sojourn smon our citizens will be inn- tuslly pleasant ahd their ilgiglatfve- efforts successfull

esty is a jewel to any calling or profession. To have tho dishonest adventurer making laws for your government, handling the taxes of the IIBODIe, fixing the standards of public morality and controlling the education of the boys and girls of our homes is surely a more serious matter than any other vocation we can think of. Such a person should be above the status of a public mountebank and above re- proach. Public life demands at least as high a standard of honesty and uprightness as the best in private life or in business, and the man or woman should be satisfied with nothing less than this in our law-makers and lawlgivers."

Notes by the Way

We rsgrst that an error crept ln- ts this column tho other day and we hsstsn to correct it. We spoke of the salary of Mr. Gongh as one of the National Railway Directors as $10,000 instead of $2,000, which was the fact. The error was in mistaking Mr. Gongh for one of the several Vice Presidents of the Rail- way Board of Directors whose sal- aries are $10,000 each.

Sir George Foster, a former Fin- ance Minister, now in the Senate, has suggested s reduction of the Dominion Cabinet Ministers from 17 to 12. To get rid of five lliinls- ters zit 810,000 each and us many Deputy Ministers at proportionate '0.;i uouid indeed be an economi- cu] uchie\'eil1el1t but what are the prospects of seeing it effected llIl- dor the King Government. wilich

nco it collie to power increased the pay of all the seventeen De- puty Ministers by $1,000 each‘! Not much! ' ' '

An Ottawa dcspatch to the Lil;- orai press states that Premier King Acid the Board of Control that the reduction in tho Civil Service will be effected gradually and with such consideration as will involve the minimum of hardship. Ally that were made will not be effec- tive until the beginning of the new fiscal year, on April 1. And Mr. Murdock added that any of those laid off would get two luouills pay. which would carry them ovcl" llutll Julie 1. The relief of the taxpay- ers who are now supporting a Fifty Million Dollar (livll Service will therefore collie very gradually, if it comes at all. Meanwhile the public debt does not increase grud- ually, but by great leaps and bounds oi’ 80 luillions a years!

The esteemed Patriot evidently fears nothing so much as that Con- servative Government may rcstorc the $200 lndcmnlly- .lts best hopes are that by some weak compromise that restoration may be averted.

o-omoooo-oo-oa-o-oooa-oo-o-oo DAIRY INDUSTRY, TRANSPORT- ATION AND OUR CAPITAL CITY

Slr,~l alu very sorry to see in a publication of our city a flagrant injustice to a local dairy supply house. As an experienced hand at the business of creamery opera- tion I consider a good supply house on P. E. I. a prime necessity and cannot believe that tile 100% profit supposed to exist is any more than a not 10% true. Yet possibly it would be good policy on the part of prominent interests in Char‘- lottetown to consider the Dairy producer slightly and -take a some- what larger view of production than making determined efforts to undo the (re-operative movement in dairy production initiated here some thirty years ago and which has managed to survive in spite of the opposition at present only tilin- ly veiled emanating nlostly from interested combinations in our city. it is quite possible. and it seems to be fostered by Federal lll- terests. to have n large share of P. E. l. produce so by Charlottetown. or at least give it only ‘a. passing nod. l for one cannot see why this is necessary or desirable and fial to see any good reason why facil- itlcs for cheese storing and sale on a more extensive scale cannot be provided here. We have i1 good butter storage now. and it. might he well to remember that we have water transportation as well as a railway and that. our harbours may ivell lln oi’ the most importance in carrying away our produce. W111’ should we not provide enouitll cheese and butter ito induce cars" steamers to call here for it and save m». freight rate to Montreal? it should be wortll as nlllcll F.O.B. here graded and ready for the old country as in Montreal harbor. and our local nlevcilants should be competent tn ilandle the business n5 well as Montreal firms.

I The Conservative party n; wgl have known it for a quarter of a century past ln this Province has a record to be proud of. It was mighty in achievements such as ilie Car Ferry and the $100,000 sub- sidy- lt refused to be led, or bull dozed by Round Robins into provid-

It will be well to keep the word of prom. 1119 l0 the hope as well as to the e"- Fvr party purposes and to ef- feet the downfall of the Stewart Government The Patriot and the “"111 Ollllosltion would like to have it otherwise.

It is not too much, we trust, to hold up to the Conservative psrty tho best traditions of ltg png-ghe days of its strength. There was o Cabinet containing three gularled Ministers then- There are the some now. It is well thus far. But the Salary Grab had no place un der tile Conservative regime, or two such lessons neither should be ififgotten.

THE OUNCE OF PREVENTION

A physician of Long Island stat- es that he has been able to in- crease the white corpuscleg ill the blood by from fifty to one hundred per cent. by injecting a nlercury solution into the body.

The wllite corpuscles are the little bodies ill the blood that give battle to any harmful substance entering the hotly.

This would nleun a tremendous onward step ill our battle for health, both as a wonderful sup- port during illness, and a de- pendable ally fol: the prevention of illness.

l)llring u severe illness of any kind tllo first thing the physician is anxious about after the heart, Li the lzunlbcr of white eorpuscies ill tile blood. Ail increase. shows that the body is trying to put up a flghLA trenlenilous increase shows how strong the invader is.

During the war we had in our ilospltui u young physician Jikflll dorm suddenly with pneumonia. lie

The consulting physician was doubtful of the result right. from

tlu- beginning.

Whyi’.

ileuause there was no increase in Ill-1- Ilillllllllil‘ of white corpuscles in tile blood.

What did this nleau‘).

'i‘bul this young physicanls body did not put up lluy fight. for him. it just didn't. have the ability to create more white corpu-scles.

in other words no defence was put up against the pneumonia, and he died In four or five days.

You can readily see that n body with no more fighting ability than this, would always have a burd tinle, no lnattiw whut form of iil~ lu-ss attacked it.

A chap with thut type of body is usually pale and listless, and is often accused of being actually lazy. . ‘

So wido- sprcad is the disease that the dis- covery ranks close to that of In- sulin, in the relief of millions of sufferers the world over. Like Dr. Banting, Dr. Box has offered his discovery freely to the dental’ world, making a gift of it to hum- anity. Offlclal endorsement has been given his work by the govcrn~ mcnt of Ontario.
