Nova Scotia has the reputation of being the

most conservative provi11ce'in tlic-’Don1i`nion. It never changes its alle i_ai1ce. The majority oi, _thc P00lJl¢ have been l,\tl.°8‘-i'i§;l_:ibe1'1ils and no matter what happens hereditary' i1.ibc-rals-tliey reinaiii till the end of the chapter. ltiwas no surprise. therefore, iv.l1en _ yester- days polls gave a iiew_ lease of life to Premier Mur- ray's tioveriiiiient. 'l`l1ere was no serious question bc- fore the electorate; thc general record of the Murray (iovc-i'n1i1e1it was under review, and on the whole, Pre~. iiiicr .\lurray has little or nothing to be ashamed of in the things he has left nndoiie. lle might not be so progressive as niany would like, but Nova Scoua has the rcputatioii of being the slcepicst province 111 tl`ie Doiiiiiiioii, and l’reniie1' ;\lu1'ra_v is shrewd enougli as a politiciaii to do nothing to startle it out of its slumb- _ er. So long as the people are satisfied to jog along coinplacently, why should he risk the fortunes of his governiiieni by innovations and p1‘ogressive measures? That has been tht- keynote of the Liberal regime and it has aiisivered its purpose. The Liberals have been long enough in office i_n .\'ova Scotia to have reduced patronage to thc science. There are not iiiany dissatis- fied or disgrinitled men in the party. About eighteen months or two years ago there were. Sonic went the length of writing over their own ‘names in the party organ that they were so dissatisfied that they would not poll another l.iberal vote. linougli. said for l’reniier ,\l1irray to iniiiiediately set about and make tl1e_dis- satisfied ones sniiliiigly eat their own words. llc found 1iie:u1.~ of coiiciliatiiig and pacifyiiig theni - which is the first duty of every politician in such cir- cunist:u1ces~ then he got them to lie low, and last on the dissolution lie madg them come out and endorse the ;\l111'r:iy liovcriinieiit for all they were \\'oi‘tli. .\len prominent iii by-electioiis iii opposition to their party were equally prominent in the general election' in supporting the (ioverninent candidates. They did_ not do so from a sense of conviction that they had been wroiigi in their opposition, but because the Mur- ray fiovernineiit found the ways and nieaiis of rc- inoviiig their personal grievances, real or supposedf

U11 the other hand there has been a great deal'

of dissatisfactioii aiiiong the Coiiservatives in Nova Scotia over the iiiaiiiier in which the Dominion pat- ronage has been dist1'ibt1ted. Unlike the Liberal Novai Scotia l’1'oviiicial tiovernineiit which never failed to placate the faithful, the Dominion Government has been ciireless of tlie_ interests and claiins of its party siipporters. with the result that many fornier stal- warts have lieconie lukewarni and iiiiliffereiif to the fortunes of the party. 'l`he_Lib1:rzils have the reputa- tion 'of always playing the game and giving no chanc- es. ."'l`l1e l)on1inion Government knows no party in the ilistribiitioii of its favours, and a eoniplaiiit in :I (irit organ or by an astute Grit politician. that the Dominion fjoveriiiiieiit has favoured one of its own' supporters is keenly resented at Ottawa instead of be-_ i1i'g taken as a coinplinieiit.

'fliis has had its influence not only in the Nova

Scotiaii election but elsewhere. notably iii \Vest1110i'e- land B., llut primarily the 1\11irray Government has been returned because of the hereditary Liberal- ism of the province. This was helped by the com- bination of Liberal prohibitionists and Conservative liquor iiitcrests in llalifax. The proliibitioiiists were Liberal first :mil proliibitioiiists afterwards, while thc others were traders first :i11d foremost, giving their support to the party from which most was to be ek- pected.

'faking these and other things into coiisiderla-_

tion there is little room for coiigratulatioiis on the part of Liberals iii Nova Scotia or elsewhere. The- :iverage Liberal majority for the previous eight elec- tions lias been 22. _

O11 the other hand, let' us' look onthe lighter side 'of things. The amusing lllr.

Perhaps the President understands the niakc-up

of these “disloyal foes” better than those ivho believel’ and insist that lie is compelling _them to-vote the Re- publican ticket. llc believes, undoubtedly, that, ~just as they are too cowardly to do anytliing more than to talk about tiglitiiig Great Britain, or to ftirnish- fiiiids for the purpose of enabling their poor diipes in Ireland to be slaughtered. so they would be too cowardly to leave the parg/ with which, as a.rule, they are ideiitifi- ed, and to which many of theni are indebted for the political pap that enables tl1c111,to subsist comfortably and devote themselves niainly to oratory_ '

The President had a probleui 011 his hands in

dealing with certain professional blatherskites in his; own party. lt is probable that his early word of warti- ing will have the effect intended by hiin. Tlieir ae-' ccssion to the Republican party, even for a short tinie. would cost that party many _votes and compel it to guard carefully, as never before, against the coinplete loss ofits self-respect.--Bostoii Traveler.

_THE RECRUITING SITUATIDN

A strongly backed agitation is 011 foot to get the

Governinent to introduce some form of National Re- gistration in coiiiiect-ioii with recruiting. Everyone engaged in recruiting work kiioivs the difficulties and disadvantageous of the present liapliazard system which, more often _than not, ropes in the very melt who should be allowed to remain to develop the nee-_ essary industries.

Apropos of the agitation. an analysis by Mr.

Oliver llczzelwood, '_l`oronto, of the 1911 census re-< turns and the recruiting figures respecting the various; provinces, brings out the following decidedly interest-' ing facts :-- _ _ _ _ __ ,___._.___

Males of G0vt`s Eiilistiiieiits Service Apportion- to _]une Age, iiient of 1. ' _ Recruits _

.\laritiincProvi1ices 161.937 65,000 31,061 Quebec .. ._ 501,077 139,000 34.918

Ontario (less Thun-

der llay and __

Rainy River) .. __ 527,931 185,00 138,491

Manitoba and Sas- -

katclieivaii (plus 'fhuiider Bay and Rainy River) ..

Alberta ._ ._ llritish Coluinbia ._

60,000 6S_ 3 58 26,000 50,709 27,000 50,709

374556 174-097 166, 5 50

There seems to be a big argument for registra-

tion in this analysis. In thc first place it discloses a serious inequality of enlistinent, and in the second

place s;:enis__to show that the quotas called for front the various prov iices are not soundly based. It will be noticed, for example, that the Maritiiiic Proviiices, with 161,937 niales of inilitary age, are asked to sup- ply (i5,000 recruits, while Alberta, with 174,097 men of service age, is asked to supply on-ly 26,000. 'l`l1is nieans that in New llruiiswick, Nova Scotia and l’rinee lfidward Island tivo out of every five niales' would have to enlist to inake tip their quota, while in Alberta a little more than o1ie_in-seven would be suf-'_ ficient to fill up the ranks. And it intist be remeinbcr- cd that sinectlie census returns of 1911, Alberta be-‘ nefitcd by the flood tide of immigration of a part of 1911, and of the wlioleof 191.2 and 1913, an immigra- tion that consisted chiefly of males of military age, while the Maritiiiic Proviiices remained practically stationary iiijtlic same regard. _

In Ontario and Quebec the quotas apportioned

call for over _a third of _tli_c total number of inen of military age. _ C_)n asiiiiilar basis the ivesterii provinces

they have been asked to supply. ' '

These figures uiidoubtedly suggest injustice arid

lriets are appairently being called upon "to supply more than their rightful share while others are not being' sufficiently canvassed. There are so many elements to be taken into coiisidcration i_n reeruitiiig,s`o many iiiat- ters, not apparent on the siiffaoe but existing ncverthc less, which call for organiz_¢d~,¢t¥ort instead of _the hap-

conlideiiee in \\'oodrow Wilson, the man. If there are c-iidugh of them among the anti-'Democratic voters of
