TUESDAY, JANUARY 19. 1915-

A suoossrlon

Mr. E. F. Gaudet of the firm of Arscnault and Gaudet,

Limited, Wellington Station, favors us with a sugg€Bil0ll that is well worth passing along. It is, that now. as the merchants generally are taking stock, they lay aside such

goods as they may be reasonably able to spare for the Belgians. Mr. Gaudet points out that in every 9f°°k't“k1“§ many articles are found which have been slightly shop- wom or which do not _conform to the latest requirements of fashion but which. with these apparent defects would be very acceptable 'to the poor Belgians who are actually suffering for the want of clothing. If all the merchants would bear this in mind and lay aside for this purpose any articles the giving away of which would not impose a heavy burden upon them, it would inakc an aggregate gift which would"iie a very considerable addition to the gilt already made by the province and would certainly be a most acceptable one to people whose need is great beyond any conception of ours.

We might add the suggestion,also,as it is not fair to ask

the merchants to bear all this burden. that thc generous hearted people of the province \vho have not yet done all they would like to do, make it a point to buy up for this purpose such goods as will necessarily be sold nt greatly reduced prices during stock taking. 0\1l` lllefcllallls would help the cause along and also help reduce their annual stock taking losses by advertising their stock taking sales. \Vc commend the suggestion. We who _arc living! in comfort and security, practically untouched by the war, either in pocket or personal safety, should not forget that some millions of our fellow beings have been rellllfrell within a few months. some of them within a few days, from affluence and comfort not to poverty but to starvation and suffering which wc. if we chose.

AN “AXE T0 GRIND”

We admire our Coiiteniporary, The Patriot. in many

respects, but we can hardly approve of its journalistic ethics. It gives the use of its columns to u correspondent who hurls unfounded chargesover a nom-de-gucrre, and then seconds his demand that correspondents who reply should do so over their own names! Consistency indeed! Vi/hen the pseudo-“.\lbertoli" summons up suiilcicnt cou- rage to append his real name and address to his cominuni- cations to “The Patriot," it will be time cnougli for hiln tu usk others taking part in thc controversy to do likcwisc.

ln ycstcrdny's issuc, thc pseudo “.-\llicrton" llisplllyil

his iglionuicc oi' conditions prcvuiling in Albcrioii and Elmsdale. Wcrc he al ull up-to-date, hc would lic awnrc that Mr. Barbour is acting prosecutor thcrc, und thc Mag- istrate has instructions to rcccirc complaints from him. \Vere thc Government guilty of u conspiracy to slicltcr any violater of thc law, tbcn Mr. Barbour would be n party to it. Anyone who knows Alberton and knows Mr. Bar- bour will apprcciatc the absurdity of the suggestion. As to Elinsdulc and the allegation that the man put out of business by the Government “never stopped until the nn- dertaker carried him ont," perhaps it will be news to “Al- berton” to learn that the ex-rumseller was very much alivc _-if not kicking-so recently as Sat,urda_\'.

it would appear from these veiled attacks on the Gov-

ernment that somebody has an “axe to grind." The Gov- ernment has done more lo advance the cause of tcmpcr- iiiice unll to’ i~nf'ort:c the Prohibition Act than any of its predecessors. 'l‘lic "lcprous spots" urc_ being wiped out, and thc various communities throughout the Proviiicc know that never in its history has it been so free from “rum-holes" and illicit rum-selling. There is still much 'to be done, and we have not the slightest doubt the Gov- ernment will continue its vigilance, and when the occa- sion presents itself, take means to strengthen the mn- cliinery at its disposal for making thc prohibitory law more effective. liicantimc, it must be as edifying to Tempcrnncc people to listen to the devil quote scripture as to have pro- hibition preached from "The Patriot Stairs."

SMALL CHILDREN OF EMPIRE

We have referred at different limes io thc muniilcent

gifts sent in from all parts of thc Empire to the Mother Country to aid her in the present war. in these gifts, gifts of men, money, food and munitions of war, the whole En pire showed its sympathy, its loyalty and its determina- tion to prosecute the coniliioii struggle with a single mind. This splendid feature of the war, so encouraging to the Em pire, soinexplica-ble to our eueniies, cannot bc emphasized too often or too strongly.

The London Times directs attention to another sig-

nif’ica.nt.incideiit of thc some kind. Niue, or Savage ls- land, is one of the (‘ook islands, which were annexed to New Zealand only thirteen years,ago. its population is only 4,000 and is of the same race as the Maoris of New Zealand. “This island,” says the Times “has sent 164 pounds ($820) of which 131 pounds ($655) was given by the natives. and has offered 200 men to fight for the Em- pire wherever they are needed. With the gift and the of- fer came a letter signed by twelve chiefs. in which tli`e islafidwipesks for itself:-'l am the inland oi' Niue.” it lays, ‘n' smallchild that stands up to help the Kingdom bf'George V. ,There are tw_o portions we are offering, (1) money; (2)"men.

'I'lie'giit of eight hundred dollars to swell a war fund

reokbneti ‘in billions. and of 200 men to swell an army that numbers millions, seems pathetically small. To the Ger- mans, with their millions, it would doubtless seem con- temptibly small, yet if they can read it they will find in it the secret of tlie power of the British Empire, the ele-N ment! of that power which they have been hoping so con-;

the British arms. 1, King Khama sends his best wishes to King George and

the English people.

The Blackfoot Indians assure the Empire of their sup- fi

port, and subscribe £240 "to be used in whatever way the E

it was attacked. They had the same idea about British a credit; and here they may see that the British Empire is founded upon credit of a different kind. if it be true, as they say. that it is maintained not so much by our own strength as by the consent of those whom we rule,then it is more secure than if we had an army twice as large as the Germans or a navy twice as large as our own. And its security is a hundred times more glorious than any based upon force. “i am the Islaild of Niue, at small child that stands up to help the Kingdom of George V.°’ These are touching words and might well be taken as words of warning to Germany if only she were allowed to ht-ar

them.

'int NArioli’Ai. ANTHEM

The following, clipped from a recent issue of the Can-

adian Gazette, London, will strike a responsive chord in other places as well as in the Old Land, The respectful and reverent attitude of all audiences during the singing of the National Anthem, since the war began, is in pleasing con- trast to the rush for coats and the general preparation for getting outuwhicli was so evident only a few months ago:

“Among the many effects oi’ this terrible war, l notice

in the Old Country an increased respect paid for thc Nu- tional Anthem. We Canadians have in previous timcs been rather shocked to soc, on our visit to London, the Na- tional Anthem frcntcd us thc signal l`or thc putting on of coats nt lhcutrcs. l’c-opic did not oven wnit lo hcur it

church at the opt-ning ol` each service, while the audience, standing up sing it with fervor. This reminds me of (Fan- uda. lil lialifax there stands a large wooden church -St. I’aul's-built in 1750, u ycai' after the foundation of thc city. The frame of the bulding is built of pine and onk brought from Massachusetts when that state was still a British possession. It is it tradition with that church that the National Anthciii should be sung every Sunday, as it has bccii froui thc time when it was first consecrated. This public singing of “God Save the King" appeals strongly to us Canadians, especially in war time."

NOTES '

The Boston ’l'ranscript‘s Wasliiiigtoii corespondent

charges that the Government systematically suppresses all information concerning the Philipines and Mexico the color of which it does not like. Secrecy and censorship are find-- ing favor in strange places these days. -

M. Gauthier, of (Ilagny,(d former member of the

Parliament of Franco, has been appealing for an early be- ginning on the work of constructing a tunnel under thc strait between England and France. Fear of France in England has been a strong obstacle so for to all such schemes. lf recent events have helped to destroy thc f`ear, it will be some compensation for all the evil they ' have created.

in yesterdays issue ot’ Tl?e Patriot Dr. Livlngstoli' T.

Mays, American Consul. states that the Guardian “always refused the Consul‘s reply" to our "editorials in regard- to him." \ye.sh¢>_uld like nr. Mays to indicstewhén the Guardian refused his replies and in connection with what editorials they were sent. So far, we have received no lettcr from Dr. Mays in reply to any editorial article ap- pearing in The Guardian.

The splendid patriotic gift of the Masonic Lodges of

this province, to which reference is made elsewhere in this issue, is characteristic of that fraternity. Their good works are done nnostentatiously and continuously. This gift of $1,025 from the Prince Edward island brethren to assist ln the grand work which originated with Canada Lodge of London is a credit to the brethren and to the ef- ficient Grand Secretary, Mr. W. P. Doull, through whose untiring zeal the excellent result has been attained. No doubt this worthy fund will be still further augmented by the brethren.

PRUHIBITION IN SUMMERSIDE

Sir,-As you cluim that the Prohibi-

tion Act is being effectually enforced, i wish to plucc heforc your readers some facts i'or their verdict on this question.

As Suinincrsido has been iiunied us

one of tho principal points in thc Province wlicrc liquor is sold, thc statcnients l give have only to do with Summerside and the Sumnicrside Police Court.

From Feliriiary lst to December 31,

1014. llicrc were only four cases brought for scling liquor contrary to the provisitiiis ol' the Proliibitioli Act. (lm-. of those cuscs wus dis- liiissoli, lwo ru:-iullcd iii convictions for first offense, und' one for third offciisc. but so far as I' can learn from the Town Clerk and the juilor here, not one of these convictions was enforced. `

From February 14th to December

17th, 1914, under thc charge of drunk, incapable and disorderly there were forty-seven cases brought before the Court, resulting in forty-six convic- tions and one dismissal. Many of the offenders in this class are from country districts, and our police are very considerate for these unfortun- ates. Many \vlio were drulik and incapable have been allowed to go to their homes and in some cases our police have used means to get men to their homes rather than arrest them.

when \ve consider these facts and

take notice of the number of men who frequent, often in groups. places where liquor is known to be sold. the conviction is forced upon us that so far as Surnmcrside is concerned the Prohibition Act is not enforced. I am.

sir, etc.,

J. A. BRACE.

Summersidc, Jun. 10, 1915.

[Note.--Witlrreference to the above

\vo learn on enquiry at the Magl- stratc's ofllce in Summerslde that there were in all during the year, eleven prosecutions, including two search warrant eases. Three cases stand over for the attendance of witnesses. Five convictions were secured. in three of which conviction has not been enforced. In one of these the party left.t1ie _ inland before a warrant could issue; another was for a thiild-Jilftinco. and the party is under suspepded sentence, on condition that he does not asain offend. Should he "Ollie lllll Promise the conviction will be enforced. The third was a case of 'procuring." said to have been an unintentional offence. and the penalty has not been exscted, but the convic- tion stlll stands against him as a bar to similar offending in future.-Ed.
