lei that no government since Con- fedlration has done more for the befifit of the Province. in a time of unflrecedented economic difficulty, tail the outgoing Macllilian ad- miiistration. The tragedy of the eleitien results of July 23, however. is not that the Opposition has won but“ that the experienced Conserva- tive members of the Legislature. W110 have held office in the MacMiilun Government and in the preceding Stewart administration, have been 10st to public life for some consider- able time. The Province will be all the poorer. and the new Govem- ment correspondingly handicapped, in being without the services and advice of men of the calibre and ability of Dr. MacMilian, Mr. Sharp.

one, And fruit of thy loins, O Bun. whence first was the seed outpoured. To thee as our Father we bow. Forbidden thy Father to see, who is older and greater than thou. as thou Art greater and older than we.

Postal Tercentenary

(St. John's. Nfld.. Telegram)

This year brings the tercentenarv oi the Royal Proclamation which instituted the first State postal service for private letters in Great Britain.

The only cflicial postal per-vied that existed under Queen Elizabeth was aimlessly limited “for her Maj. cstielr aifairca." The general pub- lic were only affected by such mad traffic provisions as that "the poste" 01' 1111 postbov. must "blow his home so oft as he meets companic. or passeth through any towne. or at least thrise in every mile." Even in James I’s reign the duties of the Master of the Posts for Eng- land and Scotland and for Iibreign Parts in the King's Domlrlions were not sumcienty comprehensive or wall defined.‘ "or "sufficiently safe- guarded against abuse. for the ser- Irioe of that time to be considered a true ancestor of the present sys- tem. James created. among other doubtfui monopoies. a further office pi Master oi the Pests for Foreign Parts out of the King's Dominions. which in the next reign infuriate- iy fall into honest and competent hands. A joint holder oi the latter office. one Thomas Wltherlngs, turned his eyes to the mismanage- ment oi the borne service under Lord Btanhope of Harrington. His
