The Royal lBank of Canada's let~ ter for July is an exceptionally in- teresting and informative one. Dis- prospects, it says that the outlook in the west- ern provinces is distinctly more favorable than was the case at seeding time. The effects of un. satisfactory weather conditions in early May have been counteracted by the ample rainfall of the latter Dirt- of May and early June with the result that conditions compare favorably with which existed at the same time last year. in all three prairie provinces the crops have been singularly free -from insect pests with the excep- tion of certain points in southwest- ern Manitoba where the presence of grass-hoppers is reported. Labor shortage existed ‘in various dis- triots but this condition was not acute or general and did not mater- ially reduce the acreage.

On ‘the whole tho prospects ln the West are very good and it is expect- ed the total crop will be much larger than ordinary.

Notes by the Way

All will regret the Illness of Hon. C. W. Crosby. Minister of Public WOPKI. at the present terminal stage of the election campaign. Ho would no doubt desire to take an active part in the political discus- sions of the hour, and the Opposi- tion candidates in his district would be pleased to have ‘nlm pre- sent at the meetings. it would facilitate discussion, especially‘ in regard to matters relating to one of the great spending departments of the Government, if its official head‘ could he alblc to meet the opposing candidates face to face before the electors.

i

Mr. Crosby’: lllnou and the nb- sence of the Attorney _ General, who‘ ls not Melting reelection, create a very unusual and what is believed to be an unprecedented situation in the Government camp. Within a week of polling day only two of the four salaried Ministers are personally taking part in the public meetings, and these two, Hon. Messrs: Bell and Lea, are both contesting a single district in which they are so hard pressed that they apparently fear to take the risk of absence beyond the dis- trict boundaries.

if report tells truly, these two most potential elements in the Government are simply begging for votes, each for himself. All in vain the Macedonian cry, “Come over and help us," is raised lby hard-pressedpaupportera from four- teen other districts, while the two champions, the most voluble if not the moat persuasive of all the cot- erie, reserve their eloquence or the home market. And the home market is dull just now ‘for the goods they have to offer. Poll taxes, levied to pay salary grabs

"Telegraphyl- A P. E. Island

FIRST CABLE LAlD.—D-EVELOP- MENT OF THE SERVICE, ETC.

(By W. I... Cotton.)

en Gray discovered that a wire seven hundred feet long could be so changed as to make it attract light ‘bodies at a distance. an since the year 1T49—-the year of Franklin’s successful experiment with ‘the kite. many great and wonderful things have been accom- plished by means of electricity. One of the first of these was the send- ing of messages by wire over con- siderable distances. it is stated that, early in the nineteenth cen- tury. Francis Ronaids constructed a telegraph line eight. miles long and offered it to the British Gov- ernment——and that ‘the offer was rejected with contempt! Not. until the 21st day of November, 1852 was the first submarine cable laid in America, and ft was laid between Cape Toronentine in New iBrunswick and Cape Traverse in Prince Ed- ward island.

l-‘or the information here suppli- ed concerning the development of Telegrapliy in this ‘Province, l am indebted, for the greater part, to Mr. T. C. James, who was for many years Superintendent ofythe Anglo- Amerl-can Telegraph Company, and to Mr. A. ‘E. Morrison, now its highly competent Superintendent hcrc.

Previous to the introduction o! the telegraph cable laid in 18-52. the Hon. -W. H. Pope was the act- ive promoter of “The Gull‘ Express and Telegraph Company." In the charter obtained from tho Legisla- ture there was a provision that no other ‘Company should trade thc right to tpiace telegraph lines with- in three miles of its lines. As the dit-itunce between Richmond ‘Bay and Bedeque ‘Bay is loss than three miles, the Gulf 8r. Express Company obtained u monopoly of all thc telegraph service and business West of Travellers’ Rest and Sum - men-wide. .

This was the situation when Mr. F. N. (lisbortie, in 1852. obtained from the Legislature thc exclusive right to land telegraph, cables on

Good Bye, P. E. I.

Sir,—‘*No Wonder what John D. McIntyre says. Every day whole families are saying the same, for we are drifting back to the form of government we had before Coles and Whelan fought and freed us from the slavery and-tyranny of landiordlsm and rent, and gave us responsible government that the representatives were responsible to the DGODIB to see that their wants were safeguarded by them. While we had that form we improved and prospered in any and every way equal to any other country with any form of government. but. now the people are responsible to its members for they commit tyranni- cal acts and uphold such by what is called ‘brute force. for they will not listen to the demand and argu- ments of the people even to resign for not fulfilling their promises.

Now ltllerc is the worst elephant placed on the people's shoulders that was ever placed there in tho highway grant. There were tenders called for sections of eight mile lengths and the tenders were to he sent and approved by the govern- ment as they were. But as soon as a ‘tender is accepted thc road overseer goes with a gang of men clearing the sides of the road of whatever seems objectionable to the contractor. Now is this not aslsting tthe contractor and robbing the Government of the amount puitl out ‘for this work? To show you that there seems to be silent part- ners ‘in the combine here ‘is what the contract culls for, and accepted from him by the Government: Removal of Debris: -

uws A HOUSE-THE VENTIL- ATION

When they were building up a new building at the University the architects kept stressing the point of a “double fan system for ven- tllation."

You can see what this means to the air of the building. A huge fan to draw all the impure air out, and another huge fan to drive the pure air in.

1S0 many places heretofore had been ventilated simply .by the ex- haust fan which drew the impure air out.

And so I thought of that body of yours and of the tremendous need‘ for ventilatingall its parts~every organ-—every tlssue-—l realised how wonderful the Creator had fashioned your ventilating system. As you know your system of ven- tilation is by the lungs.

iif you are an adult in ordinary health you will breathe in and out aibout seventeen tlmcs in the min- ute,

And what happens breathe in?

Why Nature sends in about thir- ty clxbic inches of air almost pure, rich in oxygen-Abe life giving ele- ment.

luud what is breathed out?

Thirty cubic inchcs of air, rich in carbon dloxitlo which contains the poisonous ilfilducl-B 0i U18 5Y3- tem.

Thus Nature since man's creation has been using the douiblo fan sys- tem to ventilate that body 0f yours. Now -l‘ve spoken of the lumf-fl 115 the ventilating organs 11ml 0f course they make the bulk or largo exchange from the outside world

that We pay ‘four-fifths of all the poll taxes’! is it true that you in- tend to continue it? is it true that under the ‘Bell Government five times as ‘many of the voters pay poll taxes as pay it in another dis- trict’! These are hard questions to answer truly without losing votes. for if answered truly the answer must. be YES in every case! And it is hard to evade making an ans- wer. There are so many who will insist upon an answer.

Of course, Messrs. Duffy and Hlqgs tell us ‘how much was done to help the returned soldiers, who are exempted from this taxi What a boon it is to our brave boys that. they are exempt-from a tax that 1101106)’ in Prince Edward island ever paid before! Also they are exempt from being sued and hav- ing to pay costs in addition to the tax. They should be very than-k- ful ‘for that great ‘mercy. Nut a Single ooldlcr was halcll to court, or oven served with a demand for payment. except. by mistake. Surc- ly every returned soldier will vote for the Bell Government candidates who showed such noble considera- tion for our heroes.

Tho women voters also are ex-

Government candidate: that they are also exempt. The Bell Gov- ernrnent gave women the V0l0~0f the haif-vote-withoitt any bend lax! What gallant generosity was here. Ladies! Thank Heaven. flfiil the ‘Bell Government for so grczii a boon. Not u. single woman (or n married one) paid a poll tax, or was sued, or put to cost. or had to hog to ‘be ‘let of! from paying poll tax. Think of what might have occurred if the Government had been less merciful and consider- ate!

lt is true that Mr. J. D. Stewart. K.O., the Leader of the Opposition promises. if he and his party not into power, they will repeal the poll tax. And then not only the brave soldiers and the fair ladies, but mere men, also, will be exempted from this tax. Some of these men are your fathers, husbands, sons or brothers. They help to provide for the household. Most of themlwork daily for your living and their own. in some cases, as The Patriot tells us. they find it pretty hard to "make both ends meet." Three dollars less in taxes means three
