f HAELLOWEEN.

Hallowtren this year falls on Sunday. Our young lc andpossibly some of our older people, not to eprived of their annual night of fun and frolic will celebrate ' the occasion tonight as no doubt the witches and the hob-goblins and fairies will be just as " , "much in evidence on the night before ason the night _ if, particularly when the latter is Sunday.

With the yvitcheatfnd the ghosts who walk "abroad on Halloween we have no objection. Those m... are desirous of anticipating their future destiny

' consulting the various oracles which function ex- c usively on Halloween are at perfect liberty to do do; they will at least get much amusement and pos- sibly some comfort from it and the witches and the ghosts have always been respectable and more or less reliable—when encountered.

The thing we object to and which all self-res- pecting young people will also object to, when they think over it calmly, is the hooliganism that too of- ten breaks out on Hallowe'en. We feel assured that none of our young people would willingly injure a neighbor yet it has frequently happened that neigh-

rs have been injured through youngsters pranks on Halloween, pranks begun in fun and, under the influence of the gang spirit which so often takes charge of a crowd of youngsters, developed into ver-_ ita-ble rowdyism and vandalism.

In pretty nearly every gang of either young or old people there are one or two who are liable to carry things to excess. These lead into mischief and the innocent follow them incurring the blame and the responsibility for what they may be really inno- cent-of and, often too, doing things which, without leadership, they would never think of doing.

We are informed that the police will be out to- night watching the ghosts and the witches. We trust that none of the boys or girls will be caught doing anything they should not do but we also hope, cruel as it may seem, that if any of them are doing mischief they will be caught and severely punished, for pun- ishment often is the only thing that can save us from ourselves.

I . New if free trade is the wonder worker and the nation -bui1der that they so eloquently describe, why have they relegated it to the scrap heap; and likewise lf protection is the damnable drawback to the coun- try aud its prosperity which they claim it to be, why are they so vehemently declaring that it must and will be retained as the funda- mental fiscal policy of Canada? in this they are only proclaiming the abundance of their hyprocrisy. They pretend to believe that free trade is right and protection wrong, but because the political barometer tells them they can never navigate into power througlrthe surging bil- lows and over the rock strewn reefs of their beliefs. they are will- ing to sail in the smoother waters

Another of the Guide"; iilusive statements is that “the price which he receives for the exported portion determines the price which he re- ceivs for the portion marketed at home." ‘This is one of the instanc- es in which truth is utilized for the purpose of deception. for of a truth ‘the laws of supply and de- mand, and the exportable value oi an article is always a determining factor in appraising it for home sale. But it positively does not determine the excess value of _the home market to the producer over and above the value of foreign‘ outlet. tPor a concrete instance take our island potatoes.

Thus in order to attract the straggling free trade vote they preach this doctrine which the? admit is not in their party pro- gram, and with tthe vain how of netting some stragglers from the other side they declare for a policy which theylpereistently denounce its the damnation of the country- Aud such men as these have the gall to ask for public confidence.

- It is encouraging to note that the government has modified its programme in connection with the Agricultural High School to the extent at least of abandoning the idea of boarding the pupils in the in- stitution at four dollars a week. This, as the Guard- ian pointed out, would have necessitated an expen- sive staff of cooks, servants and supervisors, the cost of which the four dollars a week would not make a perceptible impression upon. The intention, accord- ing to the latest announcement is that the students will have the privilege of boarding, near the school, if possible, at a cost of six to seven dollars a week.

With the idea of paying the students a bonus of forty dollars each for attendance there will, we be- lieve, be little sympathy. It is a poor compliment to the school and a move of yery doubtful wisdom to attempt to induce students to attend by paying them a bonus and it is not at all improbable that the at- tendance will be limited to those who receive the bon- us. This will mean 45 students who will recive in all $1,800. The school will have accommodation for 75 students. If inducements were necessary it would have been much better to have given all the stud- ents the benefit and divided the $1,800 among them by way of a rebate on board or otherwise.

We have no desire to throw cold-water on the pro 'ect but the evidences of impracticability and rec ess extravagance in connection with the whole undertaking from the beginning have been so unmis- takenble that we can only regard it as foredoomed to failure-unless a radical change is made in the whole business. The building itself is utterly unsuit-' ed, the heating alone will be out of all proportions, to say nothing of the cost of providing expert teachers on the scale projected.

dollars does it mean to the pro- ducers of the country? This same rule applies to every article used in our home markets, and the fact is one which anti-tariff fl-gitntors can not successfully camouflage. for it ls ‘the every day living ex- perience of every citizen of the

country who has either to sell his

produce, or to purchase it whether for home consumption or export abroad.

The Guide’a next buncornbe is that "the {Oenadian Manufacturer does live up to the level of his tariff protection" and that he does "take undue advantage of the tar- iff by adding freight and duty to selling price." Iii this were true. which has not been ltroven, what relation would it have to the prin- cipls of protection? Perhaps our friends will argue to repeal the criminal code because some people persist in stealing and committing crimes. And what of the manu- facturer aldlng the freight which he is bound to pay. to his selling price“? Doesn't the farmer add tilt‘ frelghta of his produce to the coat when setting to the consumer? Whom does it expect to pay these freights: do they travel free? Fol- lorw the argument a little further.

Suppose that instead of a tariff the Government were to absolutely pro- hibit importation. what then would regulate prices? if their argument is worth a dime there would be no limit to the cost of articles, and the biggest thief would he the most prosperous, for according to their theory neither competition nor supply and demand would be a fac- tor in regulating prices, and the farmer would rush to pay n thou- sand dollars to the profiteer for n mower which another dealer would supply for two hundred. The Guide has an article headed "Plf- ile." it is misplaced and should have headed its seven columns.

in conclusion it dramatically de- clares that "Protectioniem is of the very essence of war." “It was tho spirit that ruined the efforts for a real peace" and "that threat- ens tio ruin the League of Nations." most surely a terrible indictment. And yet, that they may attain pow- er and absorb the filthy emolu-

ments of oilice, the tubercle and the United Farmers are willing to condone all these alleged iniqui- ties, to stand by this destructive fiscal policy, and to throw over- board that exquisite darling of Free Trade which they have nurtured so affectionately for the lest forty years.

The Commission of Conservation has assumed a very large propor- tion of the responsibility oi’ organ- izing this Exhibition and we have been successful in our efforts to secure the ‘co-operation and finan- cial assistance of the Dominion and the Provincial governments of hit-stern Canada which are esect tittl if this initial Exhibition is to be a success. ln UIIIIQPIIIRIIIK this work. the Commission of Conservu- tion has been actuated solely by its appreciation oi the value of the l-‘ttr- farming industry and by its belief that such Exhibition will contribute nwre than any other factor toward securing adequate recognition of the fox-ranching bu-s- iness as a legitimate branch of scientific animal husbandry. i need hardly point out that the suc- cess of this Exhibition depends up- on the hearty support and co-oper- ation of the fur-farmers of Prince Edward island, and strongly urge that the attend-once of island fur- farmers and the number of anim- nls exhibited by them be made as large as possible
