BEAR YE ONE .»\.\'()'l‘lll*lR'S BURDENS

Today the call opens for the annual contribution t0 the Anti-Tberculosis Society and the Charlotte- to\vn Dispensary. Of all the calls upon our people—

or rather, of all the privileges within reach of our!

people to obey the Divine command, to bear each other’s burdens, none appeals more worthily than that of assisting the institution which is fighting the dread white plague and which is caring for its vic- tims and for the poor and needy. The District Nurse Miss DeBlois is doing a work that is probably un- epualled in any city in Canada. Her duties are mani- fold, to dispense medical aid and to visit and nurse the poor whom the hospitals can not care for. In her good ness of heart she hadadded m:-in_y' other voluntary tasks; ﬁnds or provides work for the poor; she visits incessantly among the poor, instructing them in mat- ters of sanitation and health and worthily sustaining the reputation with which they have crowned her, “the Angel 0f Mercy to the poor."

This work of hers and the institution under whose auspices she is laboring is asking today for the annual contribution to help along the work. Who

can refuse to give out of their abundance, to share, S folloyvcrs, or many of ihem, |'eel , iihai a \vliite elephant is on their

with her the privilege of helping the needy? Let thi year's gift be more than ordinarily generous. “Freely ye have received, freely give.” ,

Another privilege is afforded citizens in the Y. M. C. A. campaign, which was ushered in yesterday by a mass meeting in the Prince Edward Theatre for a fund to help carry on the work of this excellent in- stitution. If there was nothing more to commend the Y. M. C. A. than the work done_ for the boys of the city that alone should elicit generous help from every home and we feel assured that when the can- vassers call they will be given a cheery hand with as generous a contribution as the worthiness of the ob- ject entitles it to. Every city in Canada has its well equipped Y. M. C. A. The Charlottetown Y is doing splendid work with inadequate equipment. Give them a chance to carry on for the sake of the boys and the future of the city. '

Still another and none the less privilege of help- ing on the good work will be afforded in the Salva- tion Army Jubilee campaign which opens on May 15th. The Salvation Army during the war won a name

for itself “llilCll has established it as one of the Wor-

thiest of all benevolent institutions. What the Army did for the absent sons of Canada duringthe days of weariness and death and glorious victory is best known to the fathers and mothers of the boys who were helped and cared for on the battleﬁelds. No greater tribute to the work of the Salvation Army. could be given than the fact that the returned sol- diers have undertaken to conduct the campaign for the fund which is now needed to carry on the great work. The Salvation Army has a work to do during the reconstruction period which no other institution can do. They need help for this work, the world needs the work and it is our privilege as well as our duty to lend a helping hand. The campaign opens on May 15th and we trust will meet with the response it merits. ‘

.\ (i001) PRPXWCDEN 'l‘.

The Northern Electric Company, Limited, of Montreal, at a record meeting of the directors set aside the sum of $150,000 to provide a pension fund for their employees. It is the intention of the Board to credit the fund with interest at the rate of four per cent on the unexpired balance and also, at the end of each year, to make such additional appropria- tion as may be required torestore the fund to its or- iginal amount after deducting the yearly pensions. The provisions of the plan do not call for any con- tribution by the employees ‘the whole dost being borne by the company.

This is certainly a commendable move. The com pany is large and wealthy. It has a large number of employees and this splendid recognition of their loy alty and devotion speaks volumes both for the em- ployees and the company. It is a provision against ill- ness, accident or infirmity and will unquestionably make for more faithful service and more content- ment among the employees. When the relation be- tween employers and employees is on such a magna- nimous foundation as this there is little danger of strikes or lock outs. The generous act of the North- ern Electric Company may well serve as a precedent for others to follow.

The esteemed Pioneer, the pocket organ of the leader of the government, in excuse for the political mess its leader has got himself and his party into makes the candid admission that “it is easier to an- nounce policies than to carry them out.” As a plain announcer of policies Mr. Bell probably has few eq- uals nor can any leader of his day and generation be found to equal him in not carrying them out.

At . this time. ho was living in a suburb -ot‘ Budapest, and seized the oppor- itunity to organize n secret society ion the Russian pattern. The plan was to introduce soviet govern- ment in Hungary. Friedrich edited an anti-millturist paper with this end in view. It wauithis organiza- tion that decreed the assassina- tion oi‘ Tisza: and if Friedrich was not one of those who‘ slew the premier lie provided them with _ihc weapons for the not. It was Fried- rich who organized the Officers‘ Council of Eleven and presided ov-

inn between their leader when in opposition and on the stump, and the same mountebanks- when they pitchfork them into position which they are not in honor ﬁt to ﬂll.

There ls letlirngy and calm at Ottawa, some think it the calm that precedes it storm. When the budget comes down there is no knowing what will follo\\'. A ripple of excitement is about certain.

Some failures in the line of party aspiriitloiis are being record- ed. lion. W. l). Mchenzio King, tho Liberal leader‘ of whom so much was expected, is not measuring up

hands. Ilia explanation as to his personal conduct during the wnr has been accepted, as far as it went, but he failed to even refer to the real ground of offense, that when Canada's sons were at the mercy of’ a horde of German but- chers, when the fate of the world was quivering in the balance, hel strove might and main to prevent} our sending them the much needed’ aid. But they have made him lead-i er and until his uselessness is demonstrated by two or three de- feats at the polls they will be luird up for fl sufficient excuse to dump hini overboard. _

Another drawback is slinilar to that of liberalism in our own prov- ince. It is their total unreliability: Like the island product they just open their mouths and anything which in imagination is of party advantage is allowed to flow out. it doesn't make two straws differ- ence whether lt is true or false. so long- as there is prospect of a temporary impression. Because they cannot back up their words with deeds or offer the daintest proof of the reckless cliarireu of incompetence and extravagance they make ,the clouds oi popular contempt hangs heavily over them. They had not sufficient conﬁdence in their own charges tn call the public accounts committee togethq
