A IEABTY WELCOME.

BORGETOWN and King's County generally are holding out wel- coining hands today to the Hon.‘ R. B. Bennett, K.C., Leader of the Conservative Party, and his scarcely less distill! ' ‘ " sister, Miss Mil- dred Bennett, who arrived in the Province last night. Mr. Bennett and his sister are both favor- ablv known to all our people, at least by reputation, but all will wel- come the opportunity of giving them a personal welcome to the Garden of the Gulf. Tomorrow, Saturday, Charlotte- town and Queen's County will enjoy this privilege, and on Monday Surn- merside and Prince County will re- ceive them with equal cordiality. It is hoped that the weather will be propitious and that as many of our people as poslble will be able to greet the distinguished visitors. .. It is hoped also that the stay in the Province oi Mr. and Miss Ben- nett will not be confined exclusively to politics as to the Leader partic- ularly, politics must, to a certain extent, bein the nature of work. we want them to see as much as possible of the Province and to en- joy their visit while here. Their stay is necessarily short, but it is hoped first every minute of it that can bc spared from the immediate duty of the tour will be given to enjoyment and hospitality. The whole Pro- vince unites in the hearty welcome and a glad ‘come again."

mcn-m CLEARLY PERTURBED.

THE Liberal party is clearly per- v turbed over the increasing pop- ularity of the Hon. R. B. Bennett in his tour of Canada. What Mr. Ben- nett has said is not so much the subject oi comment as what he is supposed not to have caid. Much is‘ made of the latter. K It cannot be pointed out by any elitlc ‘that Mr. Bennett has left un- sald anything of national import- ance in any of the speeches he has delivered. nor can it be pointed out that he has said at any time, or any place anything that he would not have said with equal readiness at any other time or in any other place in Canada. The Hon. R. B. Bennett is not an opportunist. He. speaks what he believes and unfor- tunately for the Liberal party he speaks what the great majority oi Canadians are thinking today; he is preaching the doctrine of Canada for the Canadians, the home manu- facture oi Canadian raw material and the home employment oi Can~ adians. This policy every true Can- adian will endorse. Speculation is rife also as to what the Hon. R. B. Bennett will say when he comes here. We are told every now and again that he has abandoned the policy of protection. This is follow- ed by the statement that he is again advocating a high tariff. Mr. Ben- nett himself has set all these float- ing rumors at rest by his oft re- peated declaration that the prosperi- _ty oi Canada does not depend upon high or low tariff. Every business man and every thinking man will realize that tariffs are not cast-iron rules which like the laws oi the Medea and Persians can never be altered. Circumstances demand that tariffs be so adjusted from time to time as to meet the recurring de- mands oi industry, commerce and ‘agriculture. The one undeviating and in... ' l message oi the Leader oi the Conservative party is that the principal oi -protection along with stability, must be main- tainad in the tarlil policy of can- ma. Adequate , teotion for Call- adian production and for Canadian employment is the policy enunciated by Sir John A. MacDonald, follow- ed by both the Conservatives and the liberal party until in an evil hour the present iaininlqtl-auon made up as itis oi groups oi dif- ‘ferant political beliefs found it nec- ,.g||arytotrlmthetariillnaneiim1

._._-_-n»-O >_-§- SOME OF OUR PROBLEMS.

OUR Province is small, the small- \ est Province in the Dominion, yet we have problems, the solution of which is as important to us as are those of the larger provinces and the whole oi Canada. We have a population oi, roughly, 186,000 people, room and opportun- ity for 250,000. .How are wc to get them? Where would we put them if we had them? We have vacant farms sufilcient to accommodate a large proportion of them, but without enough money to buy one of these farms and to support a family for at least three or four years, the attempt would certainly end in failure. Yet we have those iarms, and good land but sadly impoverished by wrong meth- ods oi former days. Any oi these could be brought to profitable pro- ductiveness in three or four years by a moderate expenditure. Such an expenditure in money and time could only be justified on the ground that no other land is available. There is plenty of land in Western Canada and this is what we are up against. Rather than take up one oi these impoverished farms and await profitable returns for three or four years, our young people who want to go on the land will go West. Statesmen would solve this ques- tion. The redemption of even one farm a yeanwould, in a compar- atively short time, make all our va- cant farms available for new settl- ers. Land is a stable asset. Any reasonable expenditure on it would be a saie investment. Are we big enough to undertake it and so se- cure the additional population that we require? Another oi our problems is the liquor question. Possibly had wr contented ourselves with aiming at Temperance solely, the difficulty would have been greatly lessened, but we have adopted the big stick method and the big stick has never succeeded in effectively persuading anybut savages and slaves. This question, also, is among the uh- solved and perhaps it will reach a satisfactory conclusion in the not

distant future.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

Excellent weather has so far been vouchsafed for Conventions and de- legations in Charlottetown. It is hoped that the habit will continue until all our conventions and visi- tations a‘ over.

Everything is now arranged for the demonstrations in honor oi Hon. R. B. Bennett and Miss Bennett, at Georgetown, Souris, Charlottetown, and Summerside. The weather is the only uncertain quantity in the

Rt. Hon. W. L. Mackenzie King re- piles to the Leader oi the Liberal-

on a voyage, that the ship oi state which he is supposed to be directing

is quietly anchored there. Then, with that inconsistency characteristic o! his whole public liie, the Prime Minister proceeds to declare that he is working by a chart which was the development of the British consti- tution, and a compass which was the guiding principle oi responsible Gov- ernment. How in the name oi all that is seaworthy a captain can have recourse to a chart and compass to guide his ship to its destination when it is already safely anchored in its destined harbor, beats phil- osophy.

The fact oi the matter is, Mr. Mackenzie King “don't know where he is," but does know where he is drifting though he does not want the crew oi the ship to know that he knows. He’ has not answered Mr. Bennett's question. He was asked directly to which port he was bound, and for a captain of a ship in the open sea, to declare that he is already there, is merely to beg the question. A captain has no need for chart or compass when he has already reached his destination and the fact that Mr. King confesses he still uses these indicates that not only is he still at sea, but that he is hilnself befogged, or wishes inde- lude his crew and passengers as to whither they are drifting.

It was like a refreshing breeze to have the fifty-odd Young Ambas- sadors of Empire with us Wednes- day. Their stay was brief but thor- oughly enjoyable, and both guests and hosts entered into the spirit ol the occasion with zest and enthusi- asm. The visitors won their right to the tour by study of Canadian history and geography, and answer- ing questions thereon at a stated ex- amination held in the same week throughout Great Britain. It was mentioned that 250,000 pupils were directly interested in the competi- tion and 1,000,000 indirectly had their knowledge of Canada extend- ed and developed thereby. All of which ,is good advertising for the Dominion.

The Allied Newspapers, Ltd., which fathered the tour, is a group of daily and weekly newspapers covering Wales, England and Scotland from Cardiff to Aberdeen. The Berry Brothers are the moving financial spirits in the enterprise, but the chief executives are two Aberdeen trained journalists, Mr. John Mal- colm Bulioch,.=LL.D., who is vice- president, literary critic and direct- or of publications; and Mr. William Will, who is general manager. The former received his early journalis- tic training on the Aberdeen Free Press, and the latter on the Aber- deen Journal. These newspapers joined forces four years ago, now issuing under the name of Aberdeen Press a Journal. Curiously enoush. after a keen legal fight with the Amalgamated Press (the Harms- worth combination.) the Allied newspapers have acquired the Aber- deen Press 8r Journal for a sum in the vicinity of $2,500,000 and "i"? these two men have now the direc- tion of the Journals on which they started their careers forty Years 93°

NATURE'S AUTOMATIC CON- TBOL OF BODY PROCESSES

‘You have perhaps seen a fireman of a. locomotive shovelling in the coal on a hot summer day, with his face red almost to purple, and have felt that he was so hot that his temperature was likely several de- grees above normal. _

And yet if you were to take his temperature you would find that it was just about like your own, that is normal. ln other words notwithstanding the weather, whether it is 30 degrees below zero, or 100 degrees F, that is 68 degrees above zero, and notwith- standing the amount oi work you are doing. Nature keeps the tem- perature always about the same. Oi course where there is illness with a fever, the temperature goes up three to five degrees, but this is because Nature would have it so. Similarly with the way the body handles various foodstuffs, Take l0;- instance the sugar content of the blood. No matter how much sugar you take in, the amount in the blood is always the same. Of course if you were to eat a pound of sugar, there WOlllCl be 8 little HS! in the amount of sugar in your blood for a few minutes, but it would soon be back

THE BRITISH OUTLOOK GLOOMY FOR LABOR

The outlook of British lub- iircrs ~ is not bright at present, at east in so far as presented by thqgg "°W in Power over there.

In corroboration of these remarks we quote the following extracts from a contemporary;

A few years ago complaints were made to the then government that autos were entrusted to irreslwns" ible and often reckless drivers and. in case oi accident causing damage. the owner escaped liability, while it was useless, and a waste of costs i0 precede against the driver who was not worth a dollar. To meet this ex- igency the following amendment was made to the Motor Vehicle Actz- . "The owner of a motor vehicle shall be responsible for any viola- tion oi this Act or of any regulation prescribed by the Lieutenant Gov- ernor in Council, unless at the time oi such violation the motor vehicle was in the possession of a person not being in the employ of the owner, but of a person who had stolen it from the owner.“

This amendment was evidently hastily prepared and on its face displays an ambiguous relation to the main provislonsoi the Act. For its intended purpose however, that of holding the owner responsible for property or monetary damages, it contains no flaw which would be recognised in any reasonable court. But adopted asameasure to hold an auto owner criminally respons- ible (as has too frequently been done), for acts over which he had neither knowledge nor control, it was never intended and would be absolutely inoperative. To impose a sentence involving imprisonment a law must be literally interpreted. If a car driven by one other than the owner wrongfully destroyed an- other car by collision, the owner oi this car would be, under this sec-
