The Great Betrayal

Lea Government members profess to deny that the decisive factor in electing them to power was the Prohibition issue, and that but for that issue the Stewart Government would have been returned with a sweeping majority on its record of achievement.

This is a fine example of Liberal "gratitude" towards the Temper- hnce Alliance, the Women's Chris- tian Temperance Union, Sons oi Temperance, Ministerial Association and prohibition supporters general- ly who rendered such vital service to the Saunders-Lea-Mclntyre ag- gregation on that occasion, and who were openly solicited to do so on the ground that there was no other issue in the campaign but the question, on the one hand, of "a grogshop at your door," and, on the other-the Liberal side-of "the great boon of a banished liquor traffic."

1 One of the Liberal promises made in this connection was that the Royal Canadian Mounted Police would be requlslticned to enforce the Prohibition Act. When it was ' discovered by the Temperance Al- liance, during the campaign, that this promise was merely a gesture and that no effort was being made to implement it, the Alliance made it very clear to Mr. Saunders, the Liberal leader. that a successful lbilmme of. the election depended

Slick, But insincere

What confidence can the electors have in the lender of s. Government who makes‘ deliberately misleading statements on a public platform? At the Kensington meeting, in pe- ply to Dr. W. J. P. Maclvilllarfs statement that the Bennett Gov- ernmcnt had restored the technical grant, Premier Lea implied that the Doctor did not know what, he was talking about because “we have been receiving the technical grant all through our term of office and it amounted last year to $22,000." Premier Lea was well aware that the money we have been receiving for technical and agricultural training is our unexpired balance of the grant voted by a previous federal Conservative Government. He knew that this grant had been discontinued by the King Govern- ment and had been re-establishcd by the Bennett Government. He knew that his federal leader ob- jected when the resolution was in- troduced appropriating the sum of $750,000 per annum over a period of fifteen years to re-establish the grant, Mr. King contending that the Provinces should look out for themselves and pay all their own expenses in this matter.

Premier Lea must also have rc- culled that at the lest session of the Legislature he spoke eloquently ln favor of the technical grant be- ing renewed, and commended Hon. Robert weir, Federal Minister of Agriculture, upon his practical in- terest in technical and agriculturaL training.

Why than did Premier Lea on- dcavor to mislead his audience at Kcpslnston into supposing that the technical llrant had not expired under the ‘King Government and been reestablished by the Bennett Government, as Dr. MacMillnn had

Great Conservative Meeting

The manner in which the elect-l ors cheered and applauded the Hon." J. D. Stewart at. the Mount Herbert meeting on Friday night was one of the most extraordinary mgr-ii- festations of enthusiasm ever wit- Xlwad at; s. joint political meeting in this Province- The reception ac- corded Mr. Stewart and the popular Conservative candidates Messrs. MacDonald and Wood was in strur- ing contrast to the marked coolnegg shown in the Liberal speakers. It is significant that the Patriot hssgnot been Ilt to publish a report of the Mount Herbert meeting, although s. saibled report o! the Bradalbane llletllfls on the same night-at which there was no Patriot reporter present-appears in its Saturday's issue.

Yet no one has really discovered the cause of sleep.

Now another university, Colgate University, Hamilton, N. Y. through the director of its psy- chological laboratory, Dr. Donald A. Laird, is going to try and find out if there is any truth in the general belief that. any and all of three of the following methods really bring on sleep; physical ex- ercise before retiring; a warm drink before retiring; and s, bath at body temperature before retir- ins.

His plan is to have patients, who are not really sick, but who are poor sleepers write him direct, and he will send them four little blank booklets which are labeled simply "Confidential Sleep Record," and no meniton is made of them at his laboratory. A white booklet is used for the normal or “ nrtol" first three days, in which the indivi- dual will note how and the number of hours he slept for these three night. A buff booklet is used for the three days when a. brisk ten minute walk is taken before re- tiring; another color for the three days when the warm drink is tak-
