Customs and Inland Revenue Acts 1"

to prevent smuggling of liquor and

Illicit stills."

At the Clifton meeting on Wed-

nesday night Hon- J. D. Stewart challenged the Government ca.ndid- ates, Messrs. Sinclair and Stewart, to show where the Lea Government

had made any attempt whatever to

give Ithis promised co-operation. Tile Govemment members sat mute

The electors will remember the

glowing assurances given by t’ieI Liberal candidates in 1927 with re-I spect to prohibition enforcement.

Nor are they likely to forget the Liberal pledges with respect to co- I operation with the Customs officers.

Here. from the Patriot newspaper

of May 23, 1927, ki an instance of' the many promises given in this. regard:

above “passing the buck" wherever

any matter of gcrvemmental respon- sibility was concemed, if it involv-

ed just censure and criticism.

Asleep On The Job

Not to be outdone, in allbis for

the cracked McIntyre highway, the Hon. B. W. LePage comes forward ith one which outmatches, for

nadulterated nonsense. even Prem- ier Lea's remarkable effort referred

to in yesterdays Guardian.

Mr. LePage'5 alibi, as given at the

North Wiltshire meeting, is this:

That bud "batch" of asphalt which the Patriot blames for all the

trouble had been mixed by "Tory

hce1ers"-obviously for the purpose

of discrediting the Govemment's

election highway policy! Moreover.

Mr. LcPBge opines that “some Tory

had probably punched holes in the

highway in order to take pictures of them.”

It is sadly evident, from these

revelations, that Mr. LePage has

fallen down on his job. As one- time Acting Premier, as mouth-

piece, ex officio, for the Govern- ment and resident Cabinet Minis-

ter. he should have voiced his sul-

picion of this heinous plot before it had matured. He should have

,nipped it ln the bud. He should

have overlooked the work of the highway engineers-who evidently

were negligent in allowing "Tory

heelers" to mix the asphalt at such

a. critical stage in the proceedings.

He should have kept unslceping vigil when the ingredients were in a plastic state, and shooed off any interlopers. Armed with an assort- ment of such missiles as he stocks behind his counter in Charlotte- town, Mr. LePage would have made a, formidable watchdog against de-

signing Tory hole-punchers or photographers.

I-Ie could have saved the situ-

ation! `

confernporary, “thoroughly dissect- ed" the Conservative platform at

the Eldon meeting. Since he hasn't

got a p.a‘..form of his own, it was fortunate for the Premier that he had something constructive to talk about.

At last one Liberal candidate has

had the faimess to apologize for introducing federal matters into

provincial politics. Hon. W, F. A, Stewart frankly admitted at the Clifton meeting that federal issues

were not important in the present Ciimplikh. As Speaker of the House dUi'1iiB the latter part of the last

IIIITES BY TIIE WAY

Industrial America of 1931 ls pro-

foundly unlike pioneer America of a century ago. Yet there are still many Canadians who seem unable to 'feelin that there has been any change; and they are still trying to make conditions of 1931 conform to standards a.nd rules of a vanish- ed era.

But he dldn't. He gave his Pl‘°°e°S

A measure of manufacture limitation on a scale hitherto unimagined will bc put into operation. and raw mater- ials for factories controlled; the ex- port of heroin will be prohibited; cobin will be under international control; newly created drugs will not be permitted to enter illicit trade; and a general accounting of the whole production of narcotics will be provided to aid all sighafvry Governments irl fighting illicit drug traffic.

The London *Spectator llmndonl

says: The only factor which will ul- timately decide whether India re- mains withln the British Common- wealth is the wishes of her varied peoples. Building political ediflces which will stand the strain of time demands builders with long views. Too much time is being wasted in talking about safeguards. The only safeguard which really matters is Indian good will. 1n the months ahead we should all of us redouble our efforts to capture Indian good will. We do not think this will be an impossible task.

P. B. Wallace ln the English Re-

view <London) says: “History shows us that with nations, as with indi- viduals, love turns only tw ca-ally into hatred, and that modern meth- ods of propaganda can be most ef- fective in hastenlng the process. Brothers and cousins make excel- lent enemies, even though they may occasionally join forces temporarily against an outsider. Sentiment is, in fact, a very dangerous link to trust to in this mechanical age, and it is better left out of the calcula- tions."

We hear much about the difficult-

ies of the farmer, the small returns from great expenditure of labor, the tax bills, interest charges, and high cost of everything he buys compared with prices received. An occasional gleam of light piercing the gloom, therefore, attracts attention. Mr. Gilbert Reaume of Kent County, Ontario, appears to get considerable satisfaction from harvestitng as early as July 3 one of the best wheat crops he has had in his forty-odd years’ experience on the land.

One of the worst signs of the

times, says the Star, is that people seem to have become so indifferent about the government of their country. Indifference is rather a new thing in politics, and it cannot be healthy. If it becomes a perman- ent characteristic of our people it means the decay of democracy. And if democracy resigns. something else takes its place. Something which. we may be sure, will be neither healthy nor helpful on English soil.

Another gentleman who had spent

many years in Government employ at a remunerative salary, and 51 years ago handled a plow behind a team of oxen, declares in his 75th year, after observing every other walk of life: "I would rather live and work on the farm than follow any other occupation known to me.”

BAKING SODA FOB. HIVBS

I often wonder how our mothers

happened to know so many things about health many of which are now being used regularly by the medical profession.

I have in mind that simple but

distressing ailment, the hives, or urtlcaria as it is called.

This is caused by_ food of some

kind, fresh strawberries being an outstanding example. ‘ The little lumps are itchy and

unsightly, and can give a great deal of discomfort.

You may remember that lnother's

treatment was a dose of castor oil to get the ‘poison' out of the system. and a dose of baking soda to ‘sweet- en up the stomach and intestinesf

What is the treatment now? Where a patient is bothered

almost continuously with hives, Dr. L. Dinkin, Berlin, tells us that in an observation of 20 cases of chronic urticarla over a period of three years he obtained favorable results with the ordinary baking soda. .He reports complete cures in all cases. In some cases due to some other all- ment being present some had an- other attack of the hives, but by re- suming the use of the baking soda, the cure was again effected. , In regard to the dosage he states

that from two to two and a half lev- el teaspoonfuls should be taken three times a day. If this dose seems too large then one to one and a half teaspoonsful should be given four

him a few more questions. They might ask hlni for example, why he felt sure that it was all right to hand over Lib- eralism’s $700,000 to Senators Haydon and Raymond. Teil who, if anybody, nominated them as receivers-general. _

If nobody did, if this way of doing business is Just

Mr. Sweezey’s easy-going custom, and if it can be told that

Mr. King just didn’t know all its money, then well and it against him that he never

and who used to be' all for

out of the Liberal temple, was all the while trafficking

with the enemy. Bowing the

ample, how devastating it would be if when Mr. King got into the midst of one of his flaming passages about pluto- cracy, some crude and cynical person in the audience shouted: “What about Beauharnois”? ._ _ _

And what about the others? Mr. Klng’s w_Iute-winged

and spotless captains? Think of that crusadlng radical,

the sea-green incorruptible

plains battling against the, "Interests," and behind him the dollars of Beauharnois! Think of Mr. Charles Stewart,

mighty voice for the masses!

Mr. Bennett, apparently, took no chances. He, too,

could have dipped into Mr.

didn’t. Mr. Bennett, perhaps unlike Mr. King (but perhaps not), apparently took the trouble to find out who was contributing, or offering to contribute, to his party, and was particular about them. He was particular enough to turn down $200,000 which his managers could have gotten fronl Bczluharnois, an act which, if report ifto be believ- ed, made for sadness among some of his followers. Per- haps `they are less sad and more wise, now.

recall Mr. Sweezey and ask

where his party was getting good. Mr. King will still have troubled to find out who was

times o day. It ls best to give the baking soda after meals. ` In some cases the baking soda had

to be stopped for a short time be- cause just lls you can get an acldosls from too much acid food you can

get an alkalosis from too much alk-I aline food. In these cases meat, andl eggs are taken in large quantities* for a few days. Dr. Dlnken advises against the use of injecting baking soda into the veins in these cases, because baking soda by the mouth is I quite effective.

If you are afflicted with chronic

hives it is wise of course to try and flnd out what food or foods are res- ponsiule for them, and try and do without these particular foods if at, all possible. 'Perhaps cutting down . on the amount used may be suffic- ient. .

It is interesting to know that this

old household remedy-baking soda -is so safe and eifective in hives, or urtlcaria.

Now how are we going to get more

We1l,`I was :'eading_a little book

the other day called the Report of the Royal Commission on Maritime claims. Sometimes called the Dun- can Commission.

Paragraph six of that report reads

in part as follows. “Conclusion on Financial Arrangements."

“It follows from what we--have

said, that both in respect of grants for the machinery of governments and ln respect of debt allow- ances, the Maritime Provinces have satisfied us that they have a genuine claim to a. readjustment of the financial arrangements that

‘ exist between the Dominion and

themselves, and that in any read-

Justment their territorial limita-` tions entitle them to still further consideration.

“The terms of readjustment are

obviously a matter for detailed determination and assessment, so that the actual amount. as well as the reasons and purposes at- taching to it can be recognized by the rest of Canada as fair and equitable. It is not possible, therefore, to make a final recom- mendation as to the increase and form of Dominion aid, which is required to satisfy the just claim of the Maritime situation, but we recommend that the Dominion govemment should give immedi- ate consideration to the whole of the subject, with a view to a complete revision of the financial

arrangements as between them I ‘and the Mariitme Provinces. We do not feel, however, that it would

one knows that a readjustment of the subsidies between, the three Maritime Provinces and the Domin- ion Govemment is in orders

Now what should we as voters in

this Province do about it? Well now we all know that there is a Conservative Govemment in power at Ottawa under the leadership of I-lon. R. B. Bennett.

I hear some people blaming Mr.

We also have Conservative gov-

Now don’t you think, Mr. Editor, that it would be better for us to have a Conservative Gov- ernment here for'° the next four years, at least you know, Sir, that Mr. J. D. Stewart is an honest pol- itician and a right good lawyer, in fact I hear that Mr. Leawhad to ask him how to do alot of things in the house last Spring.

I know that this Province has a

right tc justice from Ottawa no matter what Govemment is in pow- er, but at the same time I feel that as long ns human nature is what it is that a friend going to Ottawa could do more for us than an en- ¢UlY~ .
