“ NOT ON TRIAL ”
The Patriot is feverishly anxious that it should ba un-
derstood throughout the province that "the Liberal D11"-Y is not on trial.” It is quite true that the Liberal party is no longer on trial. it has been tried, convicted and sen- tenced, and is, now serving out its sentence in obscurity. The Patriot is asking that it be re-instated and when the former record of the party is referred to, gravely informs us that “lt is not on trial.” Quite true.
What tlien? \Ve have asked The Patriot on what
grounds the province would be justified in re-instatlng the Liberal party, but so far it has declined to give a reason. it is customary, when about to entrust a. man or 11 DI1l'tY` with important interests, to look for credentials. We have asked for these credentials; they have been, and shall he, asked for at public nieetiiigs und the only credentials vo\irlisaf`e_d have been the most unsavory record built up by the party during its last twenty years' eiristence. So fair as we know, so far as The Patriot has condescended to inform tis, nothing has happened within the party, no new man has arisen in the party, that could possibly offer a hope for improvement over the previous record. Now camlidly, Mr. Patriot,-and we ask it in all seriousness- would not the people of this province be fools if they drop- ped the present cortaiiity for the bottomless hope that The Patriot and the other office-seekers of its party are holding up? Does The Patriot honestly think the people are such i`ools as even to think of doing it? It is quite possible that The Patriot itself and several others with little axes to grind are anxious for the re-instatenieiitof the party. But this is a matter for the taxpayers, for those who pay the bills, for those whose prosperity is interwoven with the prosperity ot' the province, not for the few who have axes to grind.
Why should the record of the past three and a half
years be exclianged for that of the previous twenty years with their annuiii deficits, with their continuous plea of po\'erl_\' its an ext-use for neglected public works, neglected scliools ami coiitiiiuous throat of bankruptcy? Will The Patriot give one solitary reason for such a. change? We halve asked this repeatedly; it, will be asked at the public ineotiiigs about to be hold and the people will demand a satisfactory answer before they decide to make the change.
The I’atriot‘s rot about deficits, its claims to have found
errors iii the Public Accounts which our best bankers have audited. its silly twaddle about extravagance and waste at this late date after the lender of the party had in vain liooii given an opportunity and been cliallefiged to lay his finger on a single dollar the expenditure of which was not justified, all these things are only ridiculous and the people are laiigliing at them. Let us have something tangible, soint-thing siibstziiitial. What would the Liberals do if eiitrusted with the Goveriinieiitl’

SIR RICHARD SCARES SLANDERERS
The cleaii-cnt, straiglitforwfird staleinent of Sir Richard
Mcliride br-fore thc War Contracts lnvostigiilioii Coniinis- sion disposes Finally of the so-called submarine scandal. lt confirms what had been already fairly well proved by the oflicial eorrcspniirlenco tabled in Parliament, that the scandal had its origin hi the minds ofa few suspicious Liberals, and that the wish to find a. scandal was father to the thought.
Sir_Rieliard MeI3ride’s statement puts those Liberals who
exploited the submarine scandal in a rather sorry position.
Hon. \ViIIiain Pugsley, It will be remembered, went vm-y far iii his efforts to poison the public mind in connection with the purchase of the two siibmarines on the Pacific. Ile did his best to create an impression that a very large rnkf'-oft' or elf-r~tion fund had been olitniiied out of the purcliaiso priro of the siibinai-ines, it price which was (lot-lair:-rl to have been excessive.
'l`lic liistory of thc traiistictioii is best told In the words
of the inan first roiiet-riied, Sir Rieliurrl Mclirldc. The two subiiiiirincs had boeii built in Seattle for the tlhilian Gov» ernnient. \’Vhnt they were Io have cost thc (`hlliaii (ioverir 1110111.

Sir Rlcliiird stated that “niy con- sideration at thc time was to get hold of the vgsglep., at any price."
“The statement has 'been made that the matter look;

Naval officers had declared the price to be reasonable
and the vessels ofilciciit. As to the charge that there was H l'1\l<<'-off. Sir Ricliard said this: “ Not one cent we/nt to any Individual or corporation or purpose save to the person "W “MPI were bought from."

Ilecently we have had several Inquiries regarding U16
fox industry and the prospect of investment therein. invariably we are asked for a list of companies that actually paid cash dividends in 1914. So far we hav9 been satisfied to send reprints from The Guardian of the list published hi November last. There may however, he other companies that have paid dividends the names of which do not appear fn our list. We should like if all companies would send us a statement of the dividend paid last year and the prospects for the current year. The following letter we received yesterday from a corres- pondent in Virginia shows that there is plenty of money to invest in the industry if the facts concerning it were only properly made known.
SIR: HAVE VOU ANY FACTS AT HAND S0 YOU
CAN GIVE ME A LIST OF THE DIVIDEND PAYING COMPANIES AND THE ADDFIESS_ OF EACH. I WANT THE ENTIRE DIVIDENDS PAID TO DA'T'_E AND WHAT THE 1914 DIVIDEND OF EACH WAS.
“I CAN USE A QUARTER OF A MILLION DOL-
LARS WORTH OF STOCK IIN COMPANIES WHICH HAVE PAID DIVIDENDS."
lt is up to the companies to take advantage of this
and other similar inquiries. Might we suggemt that a two inch advertisement from each dividend paying com- pany during the next' few months, setting forth particu- lars of capitalization, dividend, increase of young. and prospects would be an excellent and cheap method of keeping the industry before the public and supplying the information investors desire?
This week The Guardian is sending a copy of its
special Promotion Edition to each of 800 newspapers in (`anada and the United States, and a separate personal letter to each of the 800 editors drawing his particular
attention to the Editioii and to the Fox lndustry in par- ticular. We are also sending a copy `to each Board of Trade in Canaria, and to each Chamber of Commerce in the Eastern States, and to allthe principal Hotelsin (‘an- ada ami the United States. Thus during the next few weeks every city, town and village in Canada and the United States will have the Fox lndustry brought pro- minently before it. We have done our share in special publicity work. It is now for the fox companies them- selves to follow up our efforts with individual Duhlleity work on their own account. What is wanted is more optimism, more earnest conviction and confidence in the industry on the part of the companies themselves. Vile say, and invariably inform correspondents, that those who get into the Fox lndustry now will, three years hence, be in the same position as regards enhanced valu- es as were the Hon. Charles Dalton and the other pione- ers of the industry. But it is necessary to drive iliis home, and we cannot persuade people to enter the fox industry unless we put before them ilie brilliant pro- spects in store for them, even at pelt values, when thc war is over and "business as usual" is actually once more the slogan. \Vc believe in advertising and prac- tice what we preach- hence our Promotion Edition which has been distributed broadcast at great cost over the length and breadth ofthe great co iitlnelit.
