. WELCOME!

TO the members of the Imperial

,Parliamentary Association, col-

lectively and individually, who are to 'visit us tomorrow, we extend a cordial Prince Edward Island wel- come. We trust that their regret-

tably short stay, little more than s. "hail, and farewell,” will satisfy them that, while known as “the

Little Sister of Confederationff Prince Edward Island is still amem-`

ber of the family of British sister Dominioiis and a loyal daughter of the British Empire. Although only .comprising one million and a quar- ter acres. the fact that ninety per*

cent. of that acreage is cultivabie!

and fruitful soil gives it ngrieuitur-1

al advantages and makes it a good-I ly land in which to dwell.

THE FARCE GOES ON.

THE Toronto Globe, leading Lib-

eral newspaper in Canada, coil-

tinues to demand action from tlic

Mackenzie King Government with respect to the stopping of rum- running at the international boun- dary line. Its concern, it points out, is not with the United States but with Canada. The immediate

reason for cleaning up the rum-

running situation is to enablc the Provinces to deal with their liquor

problems with some hope of suc- cess. It charges that thc greatest

factor in the downfall of the On-

tario Temperance Act was the ex- istence of this Federally legalized

traffic and it predicts the failure of

provincial attempts at control un- less the same demoralizing condi-

tion is corrected. Sentiments al-

most identical with those expressed by The Globe are cited from the

independent Brantford Expositor,

;the Conservative London Free Press

l The Globe suggests dryly that had ‘the Rt. Hon. Mackenzie King been

its attractions and has immense

possibilities. But there are others in the old land who would like

greater opportunities for themselves and for their families and who are

not prepared to face the hardships of. pioneer life, and for these oppor- tunities of a less strenuous exist- ence must hold out attractions. In the Maritime Provinces these at-

tractions present themselves. Toa very large extent we are settled

commupities with most of the ad- vantages of modern civilization at our door. The famis, are produc- tive and there is a. ready market for their mixed produce. Here in

Prince Edward Island we have an ideal agricultural Province. what

we suffer from is the “poverty of riches," that is, the sons and daughters of our farmers are edu- cated oi! the soil. The natural am-

bition of parents is to see that their children have not to labor so ardu-

ously as they themselves have done, and the temptation is to provide their offspring with scholastic edu- cation to enable them to enter the

professions or to take up business careers. When the old people are left alone they begin to think of

selling off their farms, and it is for successors to those that we look to

immigration. The class of immi-

grants we want here are similar to

those advocated by Premier Baxter in New Brunswick. Men with cap- ital of from £l,000 to £2,000, ready to take over and stock a good farm of one hundred acres or so. Immi- grants of this ell-ies from the old

County will find mo better land in which to make their abode than the Province of Prince Edward Island.

We welcome our distinguished

visitors because they represent eve

ery part of the British Empire; we welcome them as links ln the great

chain of fellowship which binds these possessions in the greatest Empire the world has ever seen. We welcome them because we need to know, and our sister dominion; need to know more of each other.

more of our common troubles, more

of our common advantages, more .of our cor|lmon` interests, more of our common ambitions, more of our common attainments. We wel-

Ily have escaped mixed emotioris. The Canadian Premier was largely instrumental in creating the favor-

able League attitudle for the Brit-

llseal of approval on that proposal. ‘But the same day saw the passing

,ofa strong resolution aimed at in- ,ternational rum-running. The re- solution recognized ‘that it was the .business of a Government to stop lcontraband trade that is carried on lin violation of treaties," and declar-

[ed that League members "would do

,well to study the terms under iwhich additional treaties_for pre- vention of smuggling might be

;drawn.". Premier King, it appears,

lwas absent at that particular meet-

!IT is timely to recall, on the occasion l of the visit of the British Empire

iParliamentary Association to this Province, the words of the Rt. Hon.

Stanley Baldwin at Albert Hall on Dec. 24, 1924, which expresses, we believe, the sentiments of all loyal British subjects, irrespective of race

|or creed :-

“When we speak of Empire, it is

in no spirit of flag-wagging. What we feel, I think, is this: we feel that in this great inheritance of

Iours, separated as it is by the seas. ‘we have yet one home and one

people, and we want the relization of that to be so vivid to our own

people that men may ask them- selves, as they come to manhood. Where, in this great inherited es-

tate, can I do best for myself? When the answer given is over-

seas, let us do everything we can t.o see that the path is made easy for those who desire lt, that we

|may help to spread the peoples of iour Empire, the ideals of our Em- pire, the trade of our Empire, from one side of the world tothe other.

Llamcd for having turned down at' the last session of the legislature' and are favored by the Liberal op- |position. Alderman Cra.ig.liad also 'pointed out that the initial letters of the five opposition candidates in Halifax, (Byrne, Russell, Isnor. Craig, and Kennedy) spells the word "brick," a mighty weapon with which to smash the Rhodes Gov- ernment.

Premier Rhodes, in opening his

campaign in Sydney, on September 25th, is credited with having; refer- red to some Liberal journals in No- va Scotia in terms which they are disposed to resent. Quoting from one of them, he said: "I don't know ,if you've seen this-if you haven't. you are not missing much-it‘s a Halifax Chronicle of all the servile

'party hucks masquerading under the name oi’ a newspaper that YOU will find anywhere in Canada-with the possible exception of the Sydney Record-that's the Halifax Chron- icle."

Therefore babies who need new

In fact even when children get

into tiieTF`teens they can drink milk with great benefit. '

However as meat contains three

to six times as much proteid as milk you can readily see that for growing vigorous youngsters, meat, a gen- erous helping, at least once ua day, is good sense.

The objection to meat for adults

is that as they have their growth they do not need meat for this pur- pose, and as they do very little hard physical woi'k, therefore they do not need it for this purpose either.

And if they do .eat much meat, as

it is not used by! the body- for growth or work, t erefore the body has to get rid of it or its products in some way. and the kidneys, and the liver also. have that .much extra work to do. Some one has likened the products of too much meat to cinders or clinkers which clog up the kidneys, because the kidneys have to take care of much of the excess wastes.

So see that your growing young-

ster gets meat or eggs daily. He needs them for growth. '

I O U Mrs. F. S. Wilkins, with her mo-

ther, Mrs. Stewart, were at home

Wednesday afternoon for the first time since taking up their resi- dence at 28 Brighton Road. Al- though the weather was most in- clement a. steady stream of callers dropped in during the afternoon and readily forgot the rain outside, in the cordial welcome extended and a profusion of Autumn flowers and cosy grate fire. In the dining room tea was dispensed by Mrs. W. A. McLaren, who was assisted in serv- ing by Mrs. L. R.

One of the social events oi’ the

week was the double reception yes- terday afternoon, when Mrs. Regin- ald Pope and Mrs. Benjamin Rog- ers, Jr., received for the first time since their man'iage.at the beauti- ful home of their parents, Senator and Mrs. MacArthur, Summerside, which, with its quantities of Aut- umn fiowers made a. bowel' of love- llness to oilset the gowns wom by the hostesses and their assistants. Receiving with the popular young brides in thendrawnig rooml was their mother, and Mrs. Benjamin Rogers, Sr.. of Charlottetown, who

who called to extend their congrat- ulations. Mrs. Pope wore a very

chic navy blue and beige ensemble of georgette and carried a lovely bouquet of red roses, while her sis- ter, Mrs. Rogers, looked charming in a gown of royal blue georgette with hand-painted design on skirt and sleeves. She carried ii bouquet of exquisite pink roses. Mrs. Mac- Arthur’s dress was a lovely crea- tion of satin-bordered printed crepe in draped effect. Mrs. Rogers. S12- wore an imported french gown of beige lace. In the dining room and on the tea table the color scheme was very attractively carried out with ‘yellow flowers and softly

shaded llshts.

Presiding at the tea tqblswere

Mrs. A. C. Saunders and Mrs. H. T. Holman. The ices were cut by Miss' Mary Hunt. Among those dispensing hospitality were Mrs. M. F. Bohurman, Mrs. (DL) E. T. Tan- ton, Mrs. F. J. E.

While yet in his teens and before

and portralture at the Slade School

erslty of London. ,One of his fellow

students in the University was Jacob

tice; and at the same time he was engaged in land surveys and ac

proceeded to Boston where he made copies of e. number of the best por- traits on ‘exhibition in the Boston Academy and illustrated Haw- thorne's Twice Told Tales. Subse- quently he painted portraits of the Speakers of the Legislative Assemb- ly of Prince Edward Island as well as of the l-Ion. George Coles, the Hon. Edward Whelan, the Hon. William Garvie, the Hon. Joseph Howe, Sir William Young and other prominent politicians and citizens of the Maritimes. Then he went to Paris where for some time he stud- ied _ under the direction of the famous French artist Bonnatt, and had the satisfaction of seeing his pictures hung in The Salon of Paris and in the Royal Academy of Lon- don. _

Upon his return to Canada he

proceeded to Montreal, where he opened a studio. There his ability as a portrait painter was soon recogniz- ed; and there he painted in suc- C€€dl!18 years the lJ0rtraits of many of the citizens most prominent in the educational, commercial and.

piolitical circles of our metropolitan c y.

In the year 1880, the Marquis of

Lorne, then Govemor General of Canada, with his wife the Princess Louise, founded the Royal Canad- ian Academy of Art. Harris was, ‘from the first, a, leading spirit in its Directorate; and, not long after- wards, he was elected its president. In that high office he remained for thirteen years. Recognition and ap- preciation of his services were shown when in 1902 he was created Com- mander of the Noble order of St. Michael and St. George.

Painted Confederation Fathers In the meantime, his reputation

as an artist increased and extended. He painted portraits of sisters in Toronto, Ottawa, New York and. indeed, in all the principal cities of Canada and the United States. One of his chief works was a large pict- ure of the Fathers of Confederation, €l1EB8€d in their deliberations at the Convention in' Quebec. It was paint- ed by request ‘of the Govemment of Canada and hung in the Railway Committee Room of the House o

distinguished statesmen and pol- iticians of the Confederation period. Unfortunately this sreat historic picture was burned in the fire by which the Parliament Building was d9S¢l'0Yed: and unfortunately the smaller lithographed copies oi’ it now extant are very imperfect represent- ations of it. Beveral portraits painted by him hang in the art galleries at Ottawa, Montreal and Toronto, of these a. picture of the Countess of Mlnto. hung in the gallery at Mon. treal. attracts the attention of every visitor. The portraits of the Mayor; of Charlottetown and the first Re. corder of the City, hung on the wan, of the City Council Chamber, are ¢KBmPles of his earlier work.

His frequent visits to the beat

art galleries of Great Britain. France. SWB, Germany and Italy inspired hir later efforts md se- celerated the continuous artistic im- provement of his work.

Spelling Reform:

(Written specially for the Guar- dian)

The English language, as far as

its spelling is concerned. is a chao- tic jumble, and it is calculated that a child who has attended school for six years, has lost one year in mastering that subject. If spelling were phonetic, a child once it had learned the revised alphabet, would be able to read any b00k correctly, even a highly technical work which it could not `understand. There have been advocated, at various times, two systems of obtaining this desirable reform in our spelling. The one proposes to use the pres- ent alphabet, but re-arranging the vowels (whcih usually cause the

sound and spelling. Thus, if we agree that b-o-a-t spells boat, un- der thls system n-o-a-t spells note. In addition, all silent letters, such as “gh” in night, are discarded. The other system would provide a new alphabet, with special signs for each vowel-sound, discarding the silent letters also. There arc. however, objections urged against both systems. The painfully un- couth appearance of the former, with such words as “thru," “noat," "spel," is sufllcient to condemn it. There is, by the way, a perfectly legitimate contraction for through already: viz: ‘thro." Why then use "thru"-A monstrosity originating in the U. S. A. where, says a. form- er Scottish writer (Dr. John Nichol Glasgow University) "ln order to avoid walking like Englishmen, they (thc_Americans) have gone on ali- foursl"

The objection to the second syst-

em (which is certainly the better) is more practical. If it were ad- opted. say its opponents, au the millions of books in our libraries and homes. would become, in the course of agsingle generation, as diiiicult to understand as the old Anglo-Saxon literature of C - mon. It is also urged against-ggllli systems. although the objection is more or less sentimental, that the etymologlcal values of words would be lost. ‘

The author of the appended hu-

morous poem is unknown. It dates from a. time when the Educational-' ists of the U. S. A. endeavored to enlist the late President Roosevelt in the ranks of the Spelling Re- formers. Matthews’ "Simple Llfe," was, I believe, a favorite book- of the Preside:\7’s and advocated the getting back to Nature in the way of living. (The 'poem' gives a fair representation of the spelling pro- duced by the first mentioned syst- em of Spelling Reform.) _
