Patriot, which had no defence to offer for pression by the government of the minority of the Public Accounts Committee and the r’s report, for its sensational and false char- ncerning the management of F alconwood al, its and the governmenﬁsright about face question of taxation, the government's breach th with the school teachers, their salary grab he countless other somersaulting transactions the (iuarrlian has for the }>astfe\v months ed upon it, has awakened stiificientiy to offer k and water reply to a recent editorial in the rdiaa on the (itivernment and Prohibition. As al the Pat-riot evades every point of importance the tu-ticic referred to and ‘raises a number of raw men for the purpose of knocking them down. In the first place we made no charge that the vendors are receiving "an enormous revenue from the business" but we did charge enlphziticztliy that the government, which had promised to "have all liquors sold at actual cost" have, instead, increased the price “to the extent of lifty cents per bottle and instead of a paltry} $7,400 of revenue they are going to fleece the poor and sick out of $60,000, to $80,000 a _vear.” We are justified in this charge by a return ibrotight down to the legislature showing that in the

, / our months of their management a proﬁt of about

$30,000 had been made. The Patriot tries to squirm out of this with the deliberately false statement that liquors have advanced 100 per cent (luring the last year. As the increased cost of liquor does not ex- ceed fifteen per cent, the Patriot's statement is its own refutation. The Patriot claims that “liquors have been properLv innspected.” Who is the inspec- tor and when was he appointed? Were the seized liquors of unknown qualitfy, which the government procured for the taking, inspected and by whom? As to the Patriot’s statement that “the re-ap- pointment: of the commission on the expiration of their term is the EiITIDQOSt proof of the present government's non-political attitude towards the prohibition question,” we have only to say that we cannot see where this is “strong” proof or proof of any kind of non-political action. The Commission ‘is made up of clergymen who take no part in politics. although the Liberals when in opposition charged that they were being manipulated by the then gov- ernment for political purposes. It further says that “the promises made by Mr. Bell and his party to remove the Prohibition Com- mission out of these regions have been carried out to the letter." 'l‘his is true in another sense than that in- tended by the Patriot: the Commission has been re- moved so far from “these regions” that they were Liiable to induce the government to pass amend- ments proposed for the better enforcement of the prohibition act.

'l‘tiiTltil'l‘fi\\" (‘aaada celebrates its fifty-third birthday’. lts history front July i, 1867 to July 1. lil2tl_ is one of marvcllotis growth from a childhood that was almost primitive to full grown adult nation- hood. Its population of between three and four mil- lions in 1867 has grou/n to over eight millions; its railway mileage from 2,529 to 40,000 miles; its ex- ternal trade from $120,000,000 to nearly three bil- lions; its manufactures from practically nothing to over three billions.

For us in the provinces by the sea it is a source of pride to remember‘ that we have been and still are the seed bed of t‘aaatiiaiiism. llcre in the hlaritimc Provinces the earliest British imaiitrrziiits settled; here they established their homes, their schools, their colleges. In our neighboring province of Quebec the earliest immigrants from France did likewise and from these the makers of Canada have gone forth to colonize, to develop, to build the great (lominitm. The history of the first century in (lanada is the bio- graphy of men who received their education and their training in citizenship in the schools and homes of Eastern (lanada.

In later years the tide has been flowing west- ward and it has carried with it much of the best blood in the east. And in this there is for us both inspiration and warning. The British motto “What we have we hold,” should be ours also. We must guard well our homes,- our schools, our, colleges- otherwise we may awaken some day to find that the privileges handed down to us have been transferred to a younger, more ambitious and more agressive people.

Looking backward over our fifty three years of nationhood we have much to be grateful for, much upon which to build our hopes for the years to come. In the past (lccade our country has been redeemed by the blood of our sons. Over 50,000 C£ill_;'_l_(1_i_£l_l_1§__i_3_j,d,_ down their lives for liberty’. That dear-bought lib- erty is now ours to cherish and pass on to future generations. Let us guard it as they did, holding high the torch which “from falling hands” they pass- ed on to us, that our Canada may be a (ital-fearing nation builded in righteousness. l Lord of the lands, by thy mysterious power,

, In wisdom guide, with faith and freedom dower; Be ours a nation evermore That no oppression blights, Where justice rules from shore to shore, , ' From lakes to northern lights.

CURRENT COMMENT

Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty, and preparedness u safe- guard against surprise. We do not desire, and are not expecting a Federal election within the pre; sent year. But it sometimes hap- pens, in i911 when parliament was actually sitting. and no one. not even close supporters of the Government had .the slightest ex- pectation of such, like u. bolt from ‘the blue Sir Wilfrid Luuriens aa- nouncement of dissolution and ap- peal to the people came to the Home. There are strong reasons why it should not be. The Union (IOVPTnllhlll wcrc elected for a s-pet-ial work which cannot yet he tronsitleretivas completed, and from their knowledge and experience of and in that work they are the best quitlillt-tl and the safest with wholn to entrust its completion.
