AH "r0 4--Ii'.\‘TlI-‘l(‘.»\TlO.\'."

For a number of‘ days past the Patriot, no doubt imagining that to ‘challenge’ sounds brave, has‘ been lrepeating its bombastic "challenge" to the Guardian to ~"jliSIl'f_\"-' the action of the teachers of Prince of Wales College. In our earliest reference to this un- fortunate matter we stated that “a strike is or is not justified by the causes which lead to it" and in this lconnection we stated also that “the teachers did what any self respecting men and women would have done under similar circumstances, what ex- Superintendent Campbell did when he was given sim- ilar treatment.” .

Is this stifiicient “justification" on the part of thc Guardian to satisfy the Patriot? If not it will find, if it places its ear to the ground, equally‘ strong Justification of the teachers’ attitude and equally strong condemnation of the action of the government throughout the length and breadth of the province.

And now as to what the Patriot has attempted ‘.0 “justify? It has attempted on behalf of the gov- ernment to justify the causes which led to the clos- ing of Prince of Wales College with all that it means l.0 the students and to the province; it has, by impli- cation, accused Dr. Robertson and the teachers of fa] sification of‘the circumstances leading to their, ac- lion ;'it has denied the direct statement publicly made by Dr. Robertson that Hon. F. J. Nash and Hon. Premier Bell specifically promised “on or about June 1st” that the teachers’ request for increased salaries would beﬁgranted before the beginning of the next scholastic year, September 1st; it has denied the spec ific statement made by Dr. Robertson that the gov- ernment was positively informed that, unless their request was granted, the whole staff would discon- tinue teaching at the end of September.

Is the Patriot so blind as to imagine its bombast and its “challenging” and its bluff will be accepted by the people of this province in preference to the specific statement made bv Dr. Robertson and corro- borated by his whole staff over their signatures? Does the Patriot imagine that the reputation for ver- acity or the reverse 0f it; which it has built up for itself during the past year or more Will justify it in adopting such a ridiculous attitude or does it imag- ine that the Guardian is going to demean its columns by entering into a controversy’ as to whom to believe, the Patriot or the teaching staff of Prince of Wales

The Bell Governmentlmnn sure- ly by this time have awakened to a full realization of their total in- capacliy for the position which ihey have assayed to fill. Blunder “D011 top of blunder, stupidity piled moun talus hlgh upon lop of suipldlly. bungling and mismanagement sirewn along every avenue or path wuy in which they travel, should surely pe so sirongly evident l0 ihem now as l0 fix the convicllon that ins only good turn they ‘are capable of doing for ihe country la by gelling our before the ruin of provincial aﬂslrs in accomplish- ed beyond recovery. The Pnlrloi- lis official organ, has acknowledg- ed rim ii has lost ihe confidence of the couniry. and because of this losi confidence and lo escape the unbearable yoke.

They have ever been busy hunl- liig up scape-goals upon whom lo load their accumulated sins. The criminal at llie bur of justice cull- ed l0 answer for his crimes is ever ready l0 place the blame upon the shoulders other than his own.

You scarcely ever see a murderer on lriril willing lo admit his crime ind lake 1h:- punishment. So for lhree days in succession the (‘har- lolielown Patriot labors with all us genius of evasion, prevaricailon and coillrlvance to lay the respon- sibility for the follies of the Gov~ ernnienl at the doors of the Guar- diair lLs altitude recalls the slory of llie profllgale Ahab at lhe meet- ing with Elilah.

On Wednesday we asked the Patriot, as the organ of the government to. state what salaries are paid or . proposed to be paid to théprjincipal of the new tech- nical school about to be opened, to the Director of Agricultural Education and to the Professor of Ag- riculture recently appointed for Prince of Wales C01 lege, also when the latter entered or is to enter on his duties. The Patriot has not seen fit to ’replv.

In any case nothing can be gained by concealment which only adds to the gen- eral suspicion now disturbing the province. If the Patriot, the organ and the apologist of the govern- ment, would devote a little more attention to shedd- i mg some light on the government's doings instead of

foolishly trying to cover their tracks with meaning- | less and senseless bombast which, instead of conceal i mg, only intensifies, we feel sure its respectable read
