TIIE ELECTION AND AFTER ‘

The Mathieson Government is still at the old Stand.

in spite o' the “doom” which the Patriot held over HB head for the past six months. And the editor Of the Paul" is still ut his old stand, in spite of his fond anticillal-|011 that he "would have been “ dignifylng" the office of Premier by his august presence in the capacity of First Minister. It was fated the Government should be returned bY B SUD' stanlinl working majority, better than many DY Which the Liberals ran the administration for years; and it was fated `that the Patriot should prove once more a false Dl10D|\0t and treacherous guide. Not a few good Citizens Illliled by the l’ntrlot’s optimism into expressing Grit asDll`ati°“s are now bewailing their lack of diplomacy. It is wisdom not to halioa until one is out of the wood.

Our contemporary has no apology or explallal-1011 I0

offer for its misrepresentations; it simply just asks its readers to wait another four years and then-“ You will see what you shall see."

One statement is noteworthy, however. The Patriot

admits after the election that “ Mr Nash refused to sign thu anti-auto pledge."

What have our anti-auto friends to say to this? What

have the people of Belfast to say, who were led to believe

by the solemn assurance given by Mr Forbes lu Mr Nash's presence that he (Mr Nash) was pledged against the auto- mobiles? It is o point hardly worth referring to, were it not that it affords a flagrant example of the sort of canvas with which the Grits misled the electors. They

'made accusations and promises which they knew to be

false and intended merely to hoodwink the farmers.

The majority of the electors were not taken in, however.

and the Government has been returned for another four years’ rule. Much muy be done in the interval, and many changes take place, but we are safe in predicting that at the end of that period the Grits will have even less chance of attaining power' than they had on the present occasion.

Charlottetown and Royalty did remarkably well on the

ballot. An analysis of the votes shows that there was a drop of only two per cent on the franchise poll, and while the property vote showed a greater decline, that was an indication that owners, who are naturally aligned with the Grit party, preferred to remain at home rather than vote against a Government which had done so well by the Province.

In Georgetown there was a remarkable votc. Premier

Muthieson polled n majority of no less than 227 over his opponent, Mr Peter McCourt. who will probably lose his deposit; while Mr R. J. McLellan secured a majority of' 232. `lt is quite evident that the Fifth District of Queen’s has absolutely no doubt about the qualifications of Premier Mathieson and his colleague to carry on successfully the affairs of the Province. ' f

When all is said and done. the fact remains that after

__l,ll__c_Hnios_t strenuous fight in the history of tho Province the

Mathieson Government has been returned on its merits to serve a second term.

The Patriot did not expect this~or it lied.

The Grit candidates did not expect this-or they lied. The Grit orators, Messrs Brodie, Palmer and Bradly,

did not expect this-or they lied.

Therefore the whole Grit organisation was taken by

surprise, and now they are busy trying to find excuses ami explanations.

They Iwed llvli WOI‘l‘y: it was with them as Mr Higgs

foretold in his wonderful vision; they had already been weighed in the balance and found wanting.

_With other four years experience in the Opposition the

Grits may be able to fix upon a leader and draft a pro- gramme with which to go to the country. Menntlme the IUSS U10? have t0 Shy about "dooms" and "doomsday" the better will their disappointed fallowing be pleased, for they iiavebeen done brown and don’t like it.

MOST SOBER ELECTION RECORDED

asks Us l° state that ThUl`Sd8Y's election was " tho soberest, "mst Offlefly Und lluietest” in his experience.

Everyone, Grit or Tor will

The policy of the present Government has been to improve the social comlitions, to raise the standard of morals, and to extend the prohlbitary powers of the Gov- ernment regarding the liquor law and the Corrupt Prac- tices Act. lt was for this purpose it in 1913 strengthened the law regarding the sale and distribution of liquor at elections. Heretofore the law was such that a carriage and six could be driven through lt, and very often the

irlnrrlage was chock full of whisky. ln the present election

MACHINE GUN SURPLUSES

The Guardian has been instrumental in raising several

gun funds in the province, and the response has been more than geneious. As the result of our efforts there has been subscribed directly and indirectly about $15,000 for machine guns. We have two lists now on hand, one iii which there is a. credit balance of about $2.000 and the other, the roadmasters’, with a credit of about $130. ' Now Senator Lougbeed, who was acting Minister of Militia until last week, has issued the following to the press:.“ Donations for machine guns already have exceeded the expectations of the Government. The Govemment has placed an order for all the machine guns at present avail- able, and further donations would not result in furnishing

-any additional equipment of guna to our troops."

This being so, it has occurred to us that it would be a

wise ami patriotic movement to transfer the amount at the credit of our Machine Gun Funds in the Royal Bank and Canadian Bank of Commerce to the Canadian Patriotic Fund, which is greatly in need of funds.

The Canadian Patriotic Fund was incorporated in

August 1914 for the purpose of collecting, administering and distributing a fund for the assistance, in case of need. of the wives, children and dependent relatives of officers and men, residents of Canada, who, during the present War, may be on active service with the naval and military forces of the British Empire and Great Britaln's allies. _ The Charter of the Fund was afterwards amended so that temporary assistance might be rendered to the widows of men killed in action or dying on service, and to men lnvallded home to Canada by~ reason of wounds and sick- ness.

Help is accorded to soldiers’ families through the

medium of local branches which act in accordance with principles and suggestions laid down by the Executive Committee at Ottawa. By this means it is possible to secure n satisfactory measure of uniformity throughout Canada and reasonable immunity from imposition or over- lapping to ensure that no families, no matter in what part of (`.am1da they may be living, will be neglected, and to effect an equitable distribution of the large subscriptions made by national corporations.

for further assistance for this laudable object, but before making another direct appeal we wish to ask permission to transfer the sums already in hand for guns to the Patriotic Fund.

The Govermnent does not want more guns. To hand

thc money to the Militia Department would mean to lock it up indefinitely, if not for ever. By transferring it to the Patriotic Fund we would be giving immediate relief and assistance to many of our brave people who have already suffered by the war. We think every contribiitor to the Machine Gun Funds will gladly assent to the proposal we make, and if we hear nothing to the contrary before Thursday, September 23, we shall take it for granted that it is unanimously agreed that the transfer be approved.

UNLUCKY “Tamron

The Patriot is busily trying to find reasons to discount

the Government’s victory. One of the many suggested is that one or two of the Liberal-Conservatives returned are “ independents." Like other of our contemporary’s state- ments this is wholly untrue. Every member elected has been constitutionally nominated by the party Conventions, has accepted Premier Mathieson as leader, and has prom- ised “of‘ his own free will and accord" loyal support to Premier Matbieson_ The seventeen Governn_1ent_ gupportcrs are "united and whole-hearted in their allegiance to the party and in loyalty to its bend.

The same cannot be claimed for the thirteen-unlucky

Hllmber-Grits, for they have so far no party and no leader

zo _whom to he obedient. *Already there is n strong canvas 9-'HE H1208 flu' leaderslup, four competitors being in the field. We may safely nropllesy that the Unlucky Thirteen

will “OL make il IIHDDY family. for three of the four

or-ERMAN r°aEAcEEiir `

A recent edition of the Belgian Grey Book contains a

dramatic account' of the conversation at Berlin between Herr Von Jugow, the German Foreign Secretary, and Baron Beyens, the Belgian Minister, over the demand of Germany that her troops be allowed to pass through Belgium to attack France. It is related that Von Jagow said: “We have been compelled by absolute necessity to make upon your government this demand. It is for ‘GU‘Illany a question of life and death. In order that she may not be crushed, she must herself first crush France, and then turn against Russia. lf the Belgian army does not \_>|°W UD bridges and allows us to occupy Liege and itself genres t0 A“tWel`D» We Promise not only to respect Belgian ndepenrience and the life and property of the inhabitants, but 3150 10 PHY YOU indemnity."

To this base appeal to greed, Baron Beyens replied:

" What would you say if we were to yield to o. similar menace on the part of France? You _would say that we were cowards, incapable of defending our neutrality and of leading an independent life."

There was expressed the whole nut of the Belgian

gallantry. No wonder the German Secretary could find no adequate answer to lt.
