l A FAREWELL VISIT.
The Honorable W. L. MacKenzic King is paying what. is probably I farewell visit to Prince Edward island. iiis visit. it is worthy of passing remark. ls of considerably longer duration than any or those paid us when he was actively repre- senting lib as the member for Prince . County. Notwithstanding the strenuousness of the campaign Mr. ‘MacKenzie King evidently has plenty of time on his hands; he is
j spending nearly a week in thisK I
province whereas the Prime Min- lister can afford us only a day and a half. The explanation no doubt is that. while the clientele of the latter extends from coast. to coast. the Honourable MacKenzIe King‘s good offices for his party are con- fined to Quebec and what he can pick up in [the Maritime Provinces and in Ontario; be has been prac- tically ostracized from the middle and the farther west. His North York has been abandoned as absolutely hopeless and the fact that he has hurl “no time" to devote to it duri mg be campaign so for may do duty—latter the election to account for his defeat there.

Altogether Mr, hftit'Kenzic King's tour has in it allthe minor cadences of the Swan lSong; 'll is a farewell visit and withal a pleasant one. lie is a pleasing speaker and can talk entertainineg to the galleries. but no one takes him seriously as a leader of men or the leader of what was once a great party. in absolute weakness he sought as- sociittion with the Wood-Crcrar or- ganization and that party “has lift- ed up its heel against him." They have placed candidates in the field in oppose him; they have turned him down flat and today he stands at the head of a remnant of the Liberal party.

Even this restricted leadership is now slipping out of his grasp. Tim Fielding-Gouin aspirants for leadership couupelled him to "walk the plank" into North York where political death awaited him rather than Into Prinre (‘ounty where he liad a hope. And now Mr, William ll‘uzsley is resigning the governor- shlp of New Brunswick to enter the. lists against Mr. Fielding as leader of the Liberal party.
anr the present the Liberal Iparty is dead and is not even a ‘measurabln factor in the coming Velt‘t'lirm. The only real opposition in the Meighen government is the ('rerar-Wond combination masquer-

w ' CRIMINAL STATISTICS
The report of Dominion Criminal Statistics for 1920 has Just been issued. Regrettably it shows no
limprove-ment over previous years; lin fact. it shows the reverse. The following extracts speak for them- selves:
“The total number of convictions for the year ended September 30. 19:10 is 162,708. being an increase of 25 per cent over 1919. The in- crease of 1919 over 1918 was but 5 1-2 percent. The report, however. snows this heavy increase to be all most entirely in the non~indictable or minor offences which increased from 111,623 in 1919 to 144.205 In 1920.
In 1920 there wore 57 charges for murder as against 79 for 1919. 26 convictions 1 against 28 for 1919. Total convic-
for murder in tions for 1920 were 2.901 as against 2.614 for 1919.
Summing up. the report Rays in conclusion:—
Thc most notable changes shown in the above table are the large increases in breaches of municipal liquor drunk- enncss. The dtecreasc in Militia Acts
by-laws. acts and is due to the cessation of military
operations. The increase in breach
es of Municipal bylaws which is almost 50 per cent is principally In cases relating to highway ni‘ftmees of various kinds_ The. increase in offences relating to the temperance legislation is 39 per cent over 1919. and convictions
for drunkenness
have increased 64 per cent. since the previous your. The munber of cases of drunkenness for 1920—39.« 769 is the highest since 1915. when it was 41,161.
The number of persons fined for drunkenne"s ‘n 1920 was file/33'), .111 the fines paid amounted to $315.- 099. unpaid fines. totalled 305.291, The figures for 1919 were 21.975 persons fined. $186,176. fines paid and $31783 unpaid. Forhbrcachos of prohibition and other liquor regu- lations the number of persons fin- ed in 1920 was 9.674 who paid $1,- 4¢2,754. In fines and refused to pay $244,676. The figures for 1919 were 7.079 persons fined. 3930.947 paid fines and $247,995 in unpaid.
w JUST LIKE THE PATRIOT
in
Mr. Maclgenxlang‘s speeches read like a political editorial in the Patriot. all denunciation of poll tlcal opponents, glorification of self 1nd part” but nothing specific. in dead the Patriot has slightly the advantage as it has declared It- self definitely in favor of free trade .going and coming. whereas no one has yet discovered where Mr. King stands on the tariff pol- Icy.
w MAKING No PROMISES
it Is undertsood that the Hon. Mr. MacKcnzie King Informed one of his supporters who interrogated him with reference to local matttera. that they were making no pre~clec» tion promises. “Elect us to power." "then we‘ll what. do. This recalls the old game “shut your eyes and open your mouth and see what. drops In!"
he said. 309
W0 can
m THE PATRIOT ADMITS IT
f‘Of course.“ says yesterday‘s Patriot. "there are two sides to every question. frequently the right and the wrong side. and we be- lieve that Mr. King and Mr. Me- Mustcr ,also Mr. Duff (ovI-lentll an aftertlioug'htl
have got the
right side of the political ques- tions.“ This places the Patriot. by its
own admission. «iian has said
where the Guar- all along it belong ed. on the wrong side of the ques- tion as its policy Is the exact op- pnsfte of that of Mr. King.
