ELECTION DATE FIXED

At the Convention of the Liberal-Conservative party ln

the Fifth District of Klng's, held at Georgetown on Satur- day, Premier Mathieson announced that the Provincial Election would take place on Thursday. SGD'-0l11\l°l` 16» “nd the nominations on Thursday, September 9. These are most convenient dates, and will enable the campaign to be brought to a conclusion with the least possible inconven- ience to harvest operations, Every indication DOUWB I-0 9 return of the Mathlesen Government by E milglllllcelll ma' jorfty. In cvery district where conventions have been held, the greatest enthusiasm in favour of the Dfeieui- Government has been shown, and even in the Second Dis- trict of Prince, which the Liberal leader vacatos for Dom- inion politics, the utmost confidence is felt that the Gov- ernment candidates will carry tho day. There is IDFHCU' cally no opposition to the Government candidates. It is true candidates have been put forward to contest the various seats, but they are, generally SD0BklI1§» UHFGDTG- .sentatlve and influenced almost exclusively by personal aspirations. The Opposition has 110 DlHU0\`m» 110 D0|lCy and no leader. It is merely a disorganized coliglomeratlon of aspiring politicians who are seizing the opportunity of the dissolution of the Legislature by the eflluxlon of time to further their own particular interests and ambitions. ltcasoned criticism of thc Goeriiment's policy they leave none; carping, petty fault-finding without a shadow of foundation in fact is the stock-ln-trade of the aggregation served up by the Patriot ad nauscam to the disgust of all fair-minded people.

The Government has a. record of work accomplished

that will bring undyllig credit to Premier Mathleson and his colleagues. Never in the history of’ the Province has there been a better, ii stronger, a more progressive or so successful a Government. The combination has worked single-mlndedly in the public interest, and worked as one man. The administration has followed the best traditions of the British Government; it has acted unanimously and harmoniously, and when there was a difference of opinion. rather than break the harmony or disturb the unanimity. a. member resigned and gave place to another. This Brit- lsli manner of conducting the Government has been a pleasing contrast to the methods pursued by its prede- cessors, and because of the contrast, some of the Grit critics have failed to realize its significance and import ance. Because the Governlncnt has never acted except as one man, these little-minderl opponents have suggested that lt. is a one-man Governnlcnt. Nothing is farther from the truth. Every question of policy and administration has been fully aild freely discussed and moulded in the Gov- ernment, just as were the plans and programme of the Mafhicson,Opposltlon when they met and decided their policy before being returned to power. The secret of the success of the Mathieson Government iles in the fact. that every member of ihe`Governmcnt has ii share ln moulding its policy, and when that policy is adopted on any one question, then thc Government speaks as one man through the Premier. That is genoralship, that is administrative sngaclty, that is the essence of sound and enduring gov- ernment. It is because Premier Mathleson is endowed in a singular manner with the power and ability to bring out the best that is ln his colleagues and to utilize it for the advancement oi’ the commonweal that he proved an un- bounded success as leader ln opposition. and ii still greater success as Premier of his Government.

The littie~mlnded critics who can realize nothing great-

er than the advancement of their own petty. personal in- terests cannot. understand the reason for Premier Mathie-

son's tremendous success; and failing to understand they 1, content themselves with enviously barking and snarling , at him personally. Hut the country at large understands and appreciates. The people throughout the c‘ountry wllo are lnore concerned in the advancement of the public weal than the furtherance of personal interests recognize and are not slow to proclaim the tremendous change for the better tho past three years of Miitliioson administra- tion has brought about. For twenty years the Province was on the down-grade; than for three years lt luis been. more rapidly than at any time in its previous history, mak- ing vast strides towards becoming the hast-governed and administered province ln tho Dominion. Let everyone of oilr readers peruse the magnificent speech ol’ Premier Mathleson in to-day's issue, and then ask himself whether or not what we have said he trile. There can be but one answer. The Mathioson Government has done the things which for twenty years we have lollged for. and which

Umllyr-"ily most-of us thought unattainable if not lm- possible.

BANKS AND RECRUITING

The Financial Post of Toronto, in a recent issue, tells,

what the (`nnadlan banks have done in the matter of send-

charge was made that, instead of encouraging recruiting

laced in the wsy of enlistment, recruit; still regained on UN bBl1|l'S Plyl’°||» and assuredpof reinstatement on re- turn. Not a banking institution that was interviewed but had similar experiences. _

The public know little of- the sacrifice made by-the

banks in connection with the war. Besides contributing generously to the different patriotic funds they not only permitted but encouraged their employees to enlist, and the extra burden of- overworlr was cheerfully borne by those who for any reason were unable to enlist. 'The banks without exception are deserving of the utmost com- mendatioii for the splendldly patriotic stand they have taken and the excellent example they have .set in the mst- - ter of encouraging recruiting.

SELECTING A LEADER -

` Our esteemed’ Contemporary, the Patriot, appears to dvd taken umhrago at some sympathetic remarks of ours

_ with reference to Frlday's rally of Charlottetown Liberals.

when 40 of the faithful were present on the urgent ln-

vitation of the Patriot, Now, it is no use for the Patriot to get mad over matters of this kind. Things are as they are in the Grit world of Prince Edward island at present because they are as they are, and the prospect is that there shall be no improvement for some tlnie. The dill!- culties encountered at Frlday’s meeting were quite natural.

We are also informed on more or less reliable authority

that thero was a conference of opposition candidates on Friday to select a leader and formulate a policy- NUW everybody knows how difficult it is to make a selection of a leader. In tho ilrst place the man selected must have cer- tain outstandlng qualifications. This difficulty, we believe, was overdome at once as each of the four asplrants was; on his owli admission, cndowcd with all the essential qua- lifications and had several others up his sleeve for emer- gencies. True the other three could not see it in the same light but the fact remained that the qualifications were there-on the admission referred to. The next difficulty- and this is where the trouble arose-was to select a man

who was sure of his election. It was pointed out that lf_ the man upon whose shoulders the mantle was placed should be defeated at the polls lt would place the party ln a humiliating position before the people. Moreover, lt would be awkward, on re-assembling after the election, to offer the leadership to one whom this representative ga- thering had turned down. Indeed it was intimated that such a selection would not be acceptable and the thing

would have to be decided now or not at all. In threshing_ this out there was naturally u. good deal of bitterness and things were said that would not have been said had there been fewer ellglbles. It ls reported, but wo cannot vouch

namely, as the average session of the Legislature lasts from six weeks to two months, that each of the asplrants bo appointed to lead the opposition for two weeks at a tlnie, a sort of probationary period to test thcif merits. Another suggestion was that tho portfolios might be ln- croased in number or the existing ones divided up. For instance there might he ii separate premier. ii separate Attorney-General, a separate Government Secretary, a. sep- arate Commissioner of Agriculture, s. separate Conimis- sloncr of Education, alseparate Comnlissloner of Public Works and a separate Provincial Treasurer and Whip, commonly known as Patronage Secretary; and that each ofitho aspirants and other candidates should be slated for the particular office of’ their choice and glveii nn assurance that lf alive when the party was returned to power they would bc given the reversion of this particular 0m¢¢,_ ln this connection one of the candidates who had neltlier expectation of being returned nor of obtain. ing oflice told a story which was more or loss apropos: 9, certain ll‘tle boy whose conduct was not of the usual re- cognized Sunday School character was lectured by a well_ meaning elderly dame who assured him that if he was 8005 he W0llld not to heaven when ho tiled, to which the precocious youngster replied: "Oh, that's foo far ahead, as an immediate inducement to good behaviour,"

Sllch mpf"‘""Y was “Of 8DDl‘0Ch\l0il hy the meeting and

further discussion of the claims of the various aspiring lueaders was adjourned sine die. _

NOTES

The Germans, in seventeen Zeppelin raids on England

since the war began, have succeeded ln killing 85 persons and injuring 267, besides destroying some property. The victims were all civilians. As no military object was at- tained these air raids may be recorded as a failure, unless the ralders regard the indiscriminate slaying of innocent persons as a glorious thing.-Ex.
