OUR RIFLEMEN‘ WIN

PRINCE Edward Island has every i reason to be proud of her Rifle- lmcn and their achievements. Al- ‘though vastly outnumbered by the larger provinces of Nova Scctia and New Brunswick, they, in competi- tion with them in the Utter Mari- time Rifle Match which was shot at Bedford, near Halifax, yesterday, achieved a magnificent victory and hung up a record score of 1'19 points, or an average of 97 points per man out of a possible 105 points. It will be remembered that Prince Edward Island won the Intermarl- ‘time trophy at Charlottetown ayear ago with 763 points. This replaced the previous record made in 191i of ‘762 points. also made by an Island team. ‘ n will be noted that there are ‘now three successive records to the dcredit of Prince Edward Island, a truly wonderful achievement. l The Guardian extends congratu- ‘lations to the Provincial Rifle Asso- ‘ciatlon, whom the team represented.

TIIE OPENING SEASON.

THE summer season is already open, than usual. and is developing satisfactor- ily. Already there are many auto- mobiles here bearing the markers of our sister provinces and of the Unit- ed States. Quite a number of our early visitors are menibers of the Canadian Medical Association whose convention here next week is no doubt responsible for the earlier than usual opening of the season. With such a favorable early start we have reason to anticipate n more than ordinarily busy tourist season. This is gratifying and our thanks are to the Prince Edward Island Publicity Association and the Cana- dian National Railways for the ex- cellent publicity given to the pro- vince ancl for which we are indebt- ed for the increasing tourist business enjoyed during thepast few years. It is gratifying to note that there has been a marked improvement in ‘the condition of some of our high- ‘ways. A most unfortunate begin- ning was made and conditions look- ed very unpromlsing but many of the early mistakes have already been ‘corrected and now there is good rea- son to expect that our summer roads will be as good as in former years. That this should be so is the desire of everyone who has any interest in the welfare of the province. Every- one realizes the difllculty of KWP‘ ing clay roads in good condition. and all are ready to overlook evi- dent difficulties but, for the present at least, most of our principle roads are in fairly good condition and,we believe, will help to make the stay of our visitors very enjoyable. Preparations are well advanced for the first important convention, namely, that of the Canadian Medi- cal Association which opens next

PLEDGING CANDIDATES

THERE are two good reasons why

a prospective member of parlia- ment, federal or provincial, should be pledged beforehand. One is that, without being bound beforehad he is not to be trusted; the other that, if elected, he shall carry out the be- hest of certain constituents, no mat- ter what other constituents may desire. The first is an insult to his intelligence, the other an insult to parliament and to the electorate generally.

If a man is at heart a free trader. a protectionist, a prohibitlonist, or whatever else, he may be or ought to be, depended upon to support the policy he believes in. If he needs to be pledged it is either because he cannot be trusted or because he is expected to advocate and support a policy which certain factions be- lieve in and certain others, perhaps a majority, do not.

Notes by the Way

HE problems of l- lion. l venue, expenditure, and debt are ever present and should be carefully con- sidered by the municipal, provincial and federal authorities that have to deal with them. How they shall be dealt with depends largely uponthe growth of population within the ter- ritorial Jurisdiction of each of these several authorities. This becomes obvious when we remember that all the revenue of a city or a. provlnco is derived from the people. And it follows that there is a wide dlfier- ence between a city or province whose population is increasing ,by leaps and bounds and another city or province in which the growth in population is stagnantor retrogres- sive. ’ ' . .

In our own Province we are face to face with the unpleasant fact that the number of residents is fewer than it wasflfty years ago, and in Charlottetown the increase in num- bers has been but a very few thou- sands within that prolonged period. within the same period, especially in recent years the province has borrowed and expended upon the highways hundreds of thousands of dollar_s, and the city in like manner has borrowed and expended many thousands upon its streets, sidewalks ' and sewers.

Let lt be admitted that these are valuable improvements, adding to the convenience and comfort of the

In either case the pledged man.

nor is he the man who should be in parliament.

We have had our experiences in pledging candidates before elections lll this Province. We pledged can- didates to oppose the introduction of automobiles on our roads. Some of the men thus pledged had their automobiles in their garages, others were looking forward to the day when they would own their autos but in every case the pledges became a joke. Later, and still well remem- bered, we had candidates pledged to support prohibition, some of them signing the pledge on condition that their constituents should not know anything about it as, if they did they could not be elected.

In every cascRhc pledge becnmcn joke and the pledged candidate a laughing-stock to their constituents and to the public.

We are moving at a very rapid pace these days of feverish world regeneration. We no _longer trust each other to use the brains which God has given them or has denied them. To do the bidding oi‘ those of us who see only one way towards civilization, and that way ours, we must pledge them before- hand to do our bidding- like automa- tons whose only. prerogative is to jump when we pull the string!

The people are still the rulers, the creators of the powers that be. It is up to them to choose as their lav:- makers, men who have minds and opinions of their own and who may be depended upon to act upon them, or mechanical figures to do what the string we have attached to them compels them to do.

But improved roads and streets

Many believe that our civic govern- mcnt has been more prudent and economical than the provincial, and even the provincial less extravagant and wasteful than the federal, but we need not discuss that aspect of our financial affairs.

Our point is this, that vast sums have been expended by the various taxing and spending authorities, which expenditure produces no rev- crlue in return, and which in future will be as barren of revenue as it always has been. Meanwhile pro- vincial deficits and new borrowings are being added to provincial debts and increased interest can only be met by increased taxation.

More revenue must be had if ;we' arc ever again to have a balanced provincial budget, notwithstanding what has been gained under the re- commendations of the Duncan Com- mission. The people have by their votes shut out a lucrative source of revenue which seven of tle nine provinces have opened up to their financial advantage. Here the pro- fits of the liquor trade, which Iare‘ elsewhere fllling the provincial tress- urles are absorbed by the smugglers and the bootleggers; and the cry of alleged prosperity is raised to cover a swelling deficit.

We must face the facts. We can- not go on incurring new obllgaltons for works that produce no revenue. Taxation, federal and provincial, has grown too heavy and burden- some for the remnant of a people that have diminished by 20,000 in twenty years. Heavy taxation swells the exodus. Rotrenchment and cc- onomy must supplant reckless bor- rowing and spending. And some new source of revenue must be found that will not add to the burden of taxation. -

TREATING STOMACII AND IN- TESTINAL ULCEB

Therearé now so many cases of

ulcer of the stomach and ulcer of the first part of the in e (duo- denal ulcer), that all over the world the treatment for same is becoming standardized. . 4 As you know it is now agreed that ‘it is‘ the hydrochloric acid of the stomach Juice getting into the little ulcer that causes the pain. That when digestion reaches a certain point and the hydrochloric acid gets a certain strength in the stomach juice, a definite time in most cases, usually two to three hours, the pain commences and remains until more food is eaten. The food eases the pain until digestion gets to the de- finite point again, when it comes on again.

Now as it is definitely proven that it is the acid Juice that causes the pain you would expect the natural treatment to be the use of alkalies; and such is the case.

For many years now baking soda has been the great standby for these patients. _ - Working from the standpoint that if enough soda or alkali is given to neutralize the acid and prevent pain, some British physicians are advising the use of huge doses of the alkalles daily. thus giving the ulcer a chance to heal. They use a powder with baking soda 1 part; magnesium carbonate 2 parts; bis- muth subcarbonate 2 parts; and the! dose is a teaspoonful, level, every two hours, taken in water or milk. If in addition to these powders the patient restricts himself to a liquid diet. he loses his symptoms and the pain ceases within a day or two. If after a few days of treat- ment the patient still complains of pain it is probable that it is not an ulcer. This is of help in the ding. nosls.

These physicians recommend that

this alkaline treatment with these powders be kept up even during the night if possible. flhd so give the patient. a double dose immediately before retiring. Also a couple of powders are left at his bedside and he is advised to take one if he has any pain during the night.

After a few weeks the amount of Dowdcl‘ reduced until it is grad- ually left off.

That stomach and duodenal ulcers are now being cured in this man- ner, thus lessening the number of surgical operations, is only too true, nevertheless it means care in cat- ing ever after because it is not dif- ficult to start the trouble again.

Of course there will always be some cases that will rcquireyoper- atlons.

FOR BETTER ROADS

Sir,—l am not in any sense l1"- frlendly to the Government. but I am certainly with you in the demand for highways fit to travel upon. Our summers are very short, and unless something is done, and done quickly to smooth out those handicaps to travel, a season of pleasure will be lost to our people—and a black eye given, to our tourist trade.

When a. man of Mr. J. A. Dowar‘s travel and experience, a. supporter of the Government in the last election. declares them “the worst roads I have seen this time of year," it is useless for any one to try and pro- claim them as gilt edged —common knowledge declares that they are nearer to an engineering disgrace.

You say rightly that it "does not matter a hoot whether the bad roads originated with or through the fault of any political party." In one sense or another they have all had a fin- ger in the pie. The substantial fact ls, we want roads to travel over, and

department to give them to us, or to hand the supervision over tosome one who will.
