Jun. 14th, 1927. __4__4-o-§-—--- ALLEGES AND BETRAYALS

Sir,-In your issue of Friday a writer, signing himself “Brutus". is in evident search for public sym- pathy. In adopting the nom-de- guerre, he omits to declare which "Brutus" he personates-w ether the Roman patriot Lucius unius who overthrew Tarquin, or the Marcus Junius who assassinated Caesar, and then committed suicide. The tenor of his letter and the story behind would indicate the latter. \

There is no mystery as to his identity-the father's image is im- printed on the offspring-there is only doubt as to the foster-father of his literary product. '

I-ie is “waiting for a reply from Dr. J. F. McNeill." A reply implies a previous letter. Why not. publish that letter, and give us 1m inkling as to what he is after. Following this comes _a side thrust at “our ‘political parsons,' are they defend- ing the ‘Temperance Alliance’ or are their sympathies with the Gov- emment." I can understand. though I cannot commend this for- isaken feeling. But the clergy. and leading members of the Alliance will not defend the undefendabie.

Ho says—“We hear much today from Liberals that Rev. A. A. Mac- Leod is a ‘Traitor?’ The writer hos met very many Liberals, and as yet, no responsible Liberal 6r temper- ance man has even hinted that he

even thought, much less expressed himself in such language. He has been considered as impetuous and wanting in diplomacy, but never looked upon as wanting in fidelity to tl1e Alliance and temperance.

nu. next. question is,—-“Are our Christian Ministers going to stand buck and say the Alliance have done wrong?" Emphatically they are not. But some of them may, in fact in some cases do, assert, that the judgment of some individual members. in minor details at least, is not of so perfect a character as to be proof against improvement.

Running amuck onhis subject he runs broadside against the good ladies of the W. C. T. U., alleging cowardice and ‘infidelity on their part to the sacred cause, “because the wives of some of our politicians are members and close friends of the so called society?" "Well might it. too, be called a political organiz- ation." And this coming from the man who dares charge Liberals with using the word "Traitor." ,

In another broadside against Dr. John McNeil, this particular thorn in his side, he reverts to “promises and p-l-e-d-g-e-s." Here, as in Al- liance addresses and other places, he shows upon which leg the boot of calling others "Traitor" is worn. It. is on the foot of "Br11tus"--and ‘there only. Herc it isF-"How much better is the man who be- trays all classes of the people than was ‘Judas’ who betrayed our Saviour. "Let him that is without

sin cast the first stone." He then says-"Publish the pledges." Yes! why not? At

best they are inocuous, why not give them to the public, word for word, and relieve himself of this suspense. They are at his command-why withhold them? It. is not becom-l ing in a pLOIGSSCCI moralist to cir-l culate inference which are without

warehouse in that town, but, ac- cording to the Patriot as soon as they reached the Capital they turn- ed around and worked for a. ware- house in Georgetown: and the Pat- riot commends Lhem for this breach of trust. We have a higher opinion of Messrs. Boulter and Thompson than to believe they did anything of the kind. The Patriot has placed these gentlemen in a very mien- viable position, and they owe it to themselves to make a public explan- ation. We sent Mr. Leith Poole and lvl-r. P. A. Scully from Georgetown to Ottawa and in the vernacular of the day "they brought home the bacon."

' Another thing that strikes us as being very peculiar is the state- ment. of the Patriot, that Mr. Mc- Lean of Prince, Messrs. Sinclair and Jenkins of Queens, Mr. J. J. John- ston and itself all worked for Georgetown. Then how did it. hap- pen that with such unanimous and powerful support Georgetown was left out of the main estimates, while Charlottetown - and Summerside were put in? What were the inter- ests waking against Georgetown to cause this discrimination?

Georgetown, Charlottetown and

Summexsidri were equally recom- mended by the Duncan Commis- sion for potato warehouses.

plementaries some months later and all the time everybody in the three, counties were working for Georgeq town! It is most extraordinary. Nowf I wonder if the Magdalene islanders opposed us? Do you know I would] not trust these beggars down there!‘

The trnth is the Patriot is a fail-, ure as a story teller, and its antics; in this matter are a good‘ illustra- tion oi the old adage that the pre-l varicatoi’ should have a good mem- ory.

LIVE STOCK N OTES,

George L. Boswell of Frenchfort.’ recently shipped a young brood sow to H. N. Nielsen, Waterloo, Wiscon- sin. This is further evidence that the breeders of the United States are becoming interested in P. E. Is- land as a center for high class Yorkshire breeding stock.

When the Maritime Live Stock Board began business August 1st. i927, it was estimated that. the ﬁrst annual turnover would amount to $500,000. Flor the first ﬂve months of operation the total value of stock‘ handled has reached the surprising- ly large amount of $420,000, which. gives promise that at least $750,000: will be the first year's business. The‘ volume of stock handled by the‘ Board for Prince Edward Island was 10,000 hogs and 8,000 sheep and lambs. During 1926 the Island

i tion of an increased demand at bet- ' '

c1065 handled 0.000 hogs. This year ‘ I I

volume shows an increase 01' 4.00- head. Every Club in the Province showed an moi-ease in volume over

26. . The hog market is beginning to show signs 0f recovering some 0f its lost ground. An advance in price was noted last week.

It is unfortunate that the vellum of our hogs are shipped during the ‘ months when prices are usually low. We should have more hogs ready , for market during mid-winter and , mid-summer when the market is , usually at its peak. s

The fact that the hog prices are 1' now low does not warrant the ll- l sumption that they will be low six 1 months or a year hence. "r116 breed-

ers should bear this in mind, and l L;

hold their brood sows. At present there is every indica-

than those of the would-be oppor- tunist, who invariably is found trailing along with a low tide vol- ume of production when prices ire , < scaring above their normal level. j
