VWEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 1. 1915.

THE PROVINCIAL DEBT

The Patriot, which has, during the present campaign.

specialized in an endeavour to create public opinion un- hainpered by the restraining influence of facts, has de- voted considcrable attention to the Public Accounts. it claims to have convinced itself that the Mathieson Govern- ment has not reduced the debt of the province and wants its readers to acquire the same opinion.

Now, it is quite possible to juggle with figures in such

ii way to make them misleading, and this has been the l’atriot's aini. But there is one measure that the in- telligent electors of this province cnniiot be mystitied in; that measure is interest. The amount of interest paid on a debt is a very fair measure of the size of the debt. The debt itself may be separated into classes; there may be notes, mortgages, bills of sale,'etc., etc., and the poor debtor himsclt' may not know where lic is at. When, how- cvcr, he reckons the interest he is paying Will' DY yelll' he knows exactly whether hc is going behind or gaining. This measure every farmer in the province can apply for himself to the debt of this province on the two periods which the Patriot is foolishly trying to befog, namely. when the Liberal party were turned out of otilce, and today, after three and o. halt' years of Liberal-(7oiiserva.- tive adininistratioii. The figures showing the interest paid at these two periods are given in the Public Accounts. llere they are:

ln 1911, according to the Public Accounts of that year,

the amount of interest paid was $39,041.63. In the same gear there was received in interest from sinking funds. etc., $2,960.76, leaving the net interest paid for the your $30,080.87.

ln 15114 the amount of interest paid was $38,629.18, while

tlic interest rcccived t`roin .sinking funds, etc., was $5,798.69 leaving the net Interest for the year $142,830.49 as against $36,080.87, the net interest paid in 1911, or a' difference of $21,250.33 in favour of 1914. ln other words the interest paid on the debt of thc province in 1914 ws $3,250.38 less than that paid on the debt of 1911. (Tapltalizlng this $3,250.38 at 4 per cent., the rate paid both in 1911 and 1014, it would represent a principal sum of $81,259.50. This is the reduction of the debt of the province since 1911, without taking into consideration the investment in creo- soted piles, etc., and no amount of juggling by the' Patriot r-an niakc it otherwise.

Is it not unfortunate that thc Patriot. in order to hood-

wink the electors into believing that they are not any bcttcr off under the present administration than they were during the period ot’ perpetual deficits, should endeavour to inisrepreseiit figures which as they stand in the Public Accoiiiits are as plain as two plus two make four? what do the electors think of a party which must be bolstered up at thc cxcpnse of truth?

TRADUCINO THE ISLAND

Yesterday we received the following letter which

speaks for itself:

Vancouver, B. (‘.., Aug, 21, 1915.

Sir,-A dclogatioii of Vancouver and Victoria business

men waited on the Premier of this province ii few days ago to urge that the interests concerned should be com- pensated in the event of a proliibitory liquor law being enacted during the war. Mr. R. A. O'Gilvie, who claiins to have been a resident of P. E. Island for some time, is reported in the daily papers to have made the following remarks before the delegation: "He referred to what he knew about the Province of P. E. Island. They were sup- posed to have total prohibition there, but he was sure tliat the members of the tcinpcrnnce delegation who had niet the Government the other day, could they have seen thc iniquity in Prince Edward Island under prohibition, would not \vaiit it in force in British Columbia."

There is a large number of Islanders in this city, all

of whom have a warm spot in their hearts for the place of their birth and they resent Mr. 0'Gilvio's statements, This is brought to your attention in the belief that you will bo able to counteract the impression caused by Mr. O'Gllvie’s remarks.

I have not had the pleasure of visiting my old homo

fm' mflfly Years, but I have always had the impression that NSS "illiqUilY" and as high, if not higher, standard of “U7-0HShlD existed on the Island than elsewhere and my observatons in other provinces in Canada and States in the Union confirm this view.

I am, Sir, etc.,

A. M. POUND.

Prince, Edward Island holds a record unique in the

history of Governments of the world. in so far that every member of it is a pledged total abstalner. <

If our correspondent discovers anyone traducing the

Island, he will tlnd on investigation that the libel emanates from someone who has a personal or political spite against the Government, or has some ulterior inotlva_.t.o serve- which is not the best interests of the Province.

' AS OTHERS SEE US ,

The Toronto News, of which Sir John S. Willlson is

Editor, has this to say about Premier Mathleson:

“The general election in Prince Edward Island should

result in the return of the Mathleson Government to power by an emphatic majority. During its three years of office it has given the Island much better administration than was previously enjoyed. The Premier, Mr. John A. Ma- thieson, is a man of character and ability.

“A definite .success as Oppositon leader, his capacity

for public affairs did not fully develop until he became First Minister. During his visit to Toronto, two or three years ago, he impressed himself upon all those who heard him speak and met him personally as a man of parts and force. Gifted as a serious speaker, he has also a lighter vein which delighted his audiences.

“None of his bearers will soon forget his interesting

talks on the oyster tisheries and other Prince Edward Is- land industries. Whenever be travels he is an active and effective advertising agent for the attractions of his native Province. A staunch Canadian, with an under- standing of National as well as Provincial problems, Mr. Mathieson is .a worthy representative of his part of the Dominion and may easily, if he chooses, have a career in the Federal arena. Though the poll is to be taken on September 16th, the Liberals are reported by the Island press as unable to settle upon a leader."

THE NUMBER OF THE BEAST

An esteemed correspondent writes: "Revelation XII :18. Here is wisdom. Let him that

hath understanding count the number of the Beast: for it is thc number of a man, and his number is Six Hundred three Score and Six.

"The solutions here attempted are mainly by letter-

numhers, giving to eacli letter a numerical valno corres- ponding to its place in the alphabet, from A 1 to Z 26.

"Nothing should 'oe admitted that is not D€l`U1\@|\i 0'

dwcriptlve of thc man. Thus William the Second, Gor- man Eniperor. King of Prussia, (in German, Wlllielm ll., Deutscher Kaiser, Konig Proussen) is of the House of Holienzollern, the ninth of that family to wear ii. crown. and came to the throne at the age of 29 years. Ho has six sons. Berlin is his capital. Any of these facts may be considered as properly a part of the description:

Dear Madam- »

The other night my wife remarked that Iwould have to

take our boy down to the store and lit him with a »_suit to wear during the coming school ,term. I was surprised to learn that school _would re-opeii_ so soon (Sept. 7). and rem. embering that it is but a short time since the boy_had a new suit, I asked whether he_ did ‘not already-have a slut he could wear, “Why” she replied, I wouldn_t think of_ett1ng him wear that new sui_t to school. _Get him something that he can knock_ around in_ar_id that will stand any amount of rough usage. His other suit is good, b_ut it wouldnt do for school.”

It then occurred to:the writer that quitefa number of

Egrents would be glad to obtain a specialschool suit for their

ys if they knew_how well such a suit would wearand what,

true economy it is to have him wear a suit_that he cannot make shabby! in a few weeks time, saving his more dressy clothes fort e occasions for which they are better fitted.

We have now in _stock a fine assortment of boys' school

clothes. 'The materials from which they are made give extra good wear and he will have to _be a very active boy who can pull them out of shape or rip the seams. These suits look well on the boy too. The_patterns are all_ good, -the only difference between these suits and others is that these are made for extra heavy wear.

Your b_oy will need such a suit within a week or_so and

we would like to have you see _how well we can fit him out. You have probably been thinking about a _new suit for him before this, and we would suggest that you see these special suits at your earliest convenience at $3.49.

Yours truly,

JAMES VPATON & C0.

In France now it ls being charged that men niiide

improper profits ln connection with the purchase of wheat for the army. Every country breeds the kind that would cheat the soldier. The country that punishes the crooks reduces the extent of the shame it should feel. Canada has unearthed a few of these crooks and compelled them to dlsgorge. Other countries would do well to follow ber

example. '
