And the point of the Joke ls that it is ab- solutely true. No more contented people than the coal Prince Edward island, have ever psid taxes to any government; it may be truly said that they are thoroughly ‘satisfied with the Bell government; indeed It would not be too much to say that they are the only people in Prince Edward island who are thoroughly satis- fied with the The Pioneer always speaks pecffully of the dead and it is io the credit of it's head and heart that when‘ ft could find nothing good to sly directly of tho Bell government it was able at least to say that during it's short and Inglorious career our coal miners have been peacefully and content- edly attending to their business! -——-——t-o->-———- PUBLIC OPINION

Are Two Things A Britain Must D0

ILONDON, Aug, 14.— Viscount Grey, speaking at Oxford tonigfii, said there were two things that Great Britain must do; First, pay the American debt ‘and keep it entirely separate from the ques- tion of the allied demts; second, use Britain's credit position in Europe in a generous wiay.

The Balfour note did not keep the tiwo questions separate, he said, and, like many beautiful things, in nature, it contulned a hidden sting. it conveyed to him the idea that Britain was resol- ved to be generous up to a cer~ tnln point, but after that would adopt an attitude oi’ contingent

generosity, for she was still to retain the right to collect the money due from European deb

tors.

When the Government had s chance to do big things, ‘Lord’ Grey contended; p. had; chosien little things.
