Our genial contemporary, the Watchman,-coinmentsl

retrospectively and prophetically upon the regrettable fact that the population of Prince Edward Island is dim- inishing, basing its observations on an article which re-- cently appeared in the Guardian.

The Guardian had stated _that_th_is is the only pro-

vince in Canada that shows a diminishing population and ox ressed regret that a country so highly favoured agri- culturally was not able to retain its people. The Guar-_ dian ventured`the opinion that with a more intensive system of farmingand the utilization of lands now un-_ occupied or less than half cultivated_we should be able to support a population of half a million. - _

The Watchman in its wisdom sees nothing in our

argument and proceeds to tell just what happened and why. The people left the province, it declares, because the unprogressive and otherwise qualified‘Conservatives-~ have been in power during the past nine years and_nevei° ' moved a finger to encourage the establishment of indus-_

tries 'in fha province. . . _Un ortunately for this argument the greatest ex- odus, infact the only considerable and continuous ex-‘ odus from the province occured during the late Liberal
