LONIJUN. Sept. lil.-By olie ol’ these
battering ollciislves, which, although
costly in men and munitions, have in-
variably been successl'ul, |<‘ield Mar-
shal Von lliinleiibui'g`s nriny has at
hlst set foot on the ltoviio-l‘eli~ogi'ntl
railway between Vilnu and llvinsk.
'l`he wiiolc Austro-Gerninn forces have
been striving to galil this railway
since the fail of the i’oiish fortresses.
The oifenslve, which begun towai'd the
end of last week, was carried oil l`roiii
llirec directloiis upon the Dvinsk and
railway on either side of the town,
while fnrtller south the invaders ati-
vaiiccd towards Viliia. The ltiissians
llelore supielor forces supplied with
usual mass oi’ artillery were forced
back to thc Lake district, which the
railway penetrates, ami are now iiiak-
ing a stand there. Simultaneously
the Germans pushed their way south
toward Sloan and Pinislc. both of
which are on the roads which join the
nlnin railway line, wiiile the Austriaiis,
with wliolii there are many Gcrniaii
units, fighting hard to reach ltovno,
the soutlicrn terminus ol' the line.
Willi this ‘railway partly in the hands

Ilussiaiis will be compelled to ma,ke

The Borden Government voted
Prince Edward island $20,000 per an-
num for its roads.
The Mathleson Government got
this proportion fixed instead of $6,000
which would have been its share if
population had been the basis for dis-
trlbution.
By this time the Province would
have received $80,000 which would
have made eight miles of permanent
macadamlzed roads.
The vote would have gone on for
all time and probably would have
been increased, The Liberal Senators
turned down the vote and deprived
the Province of this subsidy.
Now with the war and its expenses
there is little probability of the vote
being re-introduced unless the Pro-
vince shows its appreciation of the
Borden Government, and the money
will be lost for all time.
The Liberal office-seekers in Prince
Edward Island are the same Liberals
aa the Liberal Senators.
They are the enemies of subsidies,
and subsidies are the main resources
of this province.
if you vote for Liberal candidates
you intimate to Sir Robert Borden
that you approve of the policy of the
Liberal Senators.
Good roads are the best asset of
the farmer, of the merchants of the
The Libenals deprived the Province
of the means of obtaining good par-
manent__ roads and if you vote for Lib-
eral candidates you vote against one
of the most valuable assets of the
Province.
The loss of $80,000 in four years
means the lose of $420,000 In twenty-
one years-the period the Liberals
were last in office.
The loss was incurred by the Lib-
erals who now seek the suffrages of
farmers whom they have robbed of
good roads. Should the farmers vote
for the Liberal candid-ates _they tell
Sir Robarf L. Borden they don't want
good roads, they don't want further
subsidies, they don't want to draw
furthen on the only resources they
possess-except taxation.
Should the people vote for Opposi-
tion candidates they vote to tax them-
selves to replace the $420,000 land
more, or go without permanent roads.
OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS ONCE
AT EVERY MAN'S DOOR. This elec-
tion is Prince Edward |s|and's OP-
PORTUNITY. It the people shut and
bar the door against Sir Robert L.
Borden’s knock, THE OPPORTUNI-
TY will pass never to return.
The Mathieson Government has the
confidence of the Borden Government.
The Borden Government trusts Pre-
producer and of the consumer. mler Mathieson as “the man on the
“FORCED T0 RETIRE SUBSIDY DOOR AT OTTAWA
spot" who knows the requirements of
the Province.
THEREFORE, if the people have
faith in themselves, have faith in the
future of the Province, have faith in
the Borden Government, THEY MUST
SUPPORT THE CANDIDATES OF
THE MATHIESON GOVERNMENT
.at the polls.
Every- vote recorded for the Gov-
ernment candidates is a vote for fur-
ther consideration of the lsIand'a
cltaims at Ottawa.
Every vote recorded for the Opposi-
tion oandidates is a slap in the face
to the lsland'a prospects.
If the people appreciate good roads.
good government, good prospects they
will vote to a man in favour of the
Government candidates.
The Laurier and the Palmer Govern-
ments closed the door against further
subsidies from Ottawa.
The Borden Government and the
Mathieson Government re-opened the
door for further subsidies.
if the people vote for the Opposi-
tion candidates now, they vote for
banging, boiting land barring theiaub-
sldy door at Ottawa for all time to
come,
DON'T BE A GOOP!
VOTE FOR THE GOVERNMENT
CANDIDATES AND ENSURE THE
OPEN DOOR AT OTTAWA.
Because the Matiiieson Government
\vithin three months al'ter coming to
power obtained an increase of subsidy
of $100,000 n year for all time.
llocaiise they obtained an Agricul-
tural Grant ol' $20,000, with an assur-
ance that it will be iiicreasetl to
$31,000 it year.
Because it changed Liberal deficits
iilto tionsorvative surpluses.
Because it is thc first Government
ill tweiity-tour years that succeeded in
inaking revenue and expenditure meet
and was able to show a surplus.
Because ilistcntl ol’ sinking the pro-
vince $~i5'».000 it year deeper in debt,
its the liiberals hull been doing for
twenty years, it reduced the debt by
an average of $80,000 a year since
coming into power.
Because in the last three ycars it
paid $80,000 of the legacy of $1,027,000
debt which the' Liberals left lieliind
them. together with an empty Trea-
sury.
Because it reduced thc interest on
the debt by $3,250 since coming to
power.
Because in order to reduce the debt
and gradually pay off the $900,000
Mortgage fiistcncd on the Proviiico ~by
the Liberals it is highly important
that our claims slioiilll he pressed to
a satisfactory settlement at Ottawa.
Because through the neglect and
incapacity of successive Liberal Gov-
crnmeiits to press our claims at
Ottawa during thc fifteen years the
two Goverlinieiits were in line and
their culpable bungling ot' the subsidy
claiin in 1907, they in conjunction
with Sir Wilfred Laurier blocked the
way and barred the doors against
Liberal Delegations and left no hopes
for niiy settlement of our claims un-
der Proviiicinl or Federal Liberal Gov-
ernincnts.
licciiuso Sir Robert Borden opened
the doors of Parliament to the Math-_
icson i)i-lcgation mid listened in lr
frleiiilly and sympatlietic spirit to=
tlielr able presentation of the Island's
claims and granted an increase of
Subsidy of $100,000 per year as a pay-
iuent on account and in earnest that
all claims of the Island would meet
with ii. fair, full alid satisfactory set-
tleineilt.
Because througli the efforts of our
Doininion licprcscntatlves and the co-
operation ol' the Mathieson Govern-
inent they have obtained a magnifi-
cent (‘ar Ferry Service, the greatest
boon that has ever come to the Prov-
ince wlicreby continuous communi-
cation between the Island and the
mainland is assured. The three short
liauls and excessive freight rates,
which were such a serious handicap
to shippers, business men and farmers,
abolished and which will tend to
clieapeii goods and greatly increase
prices of farm products.
Because the construction of* the Car
Perry Works and the standardizing
of our railway is estimated to cost
$10,000,000. the greater part of which
will be distributed in wages and the
purchase of various supplies, so that
labourers, niechanics, tradesinen, bus-
iness iiieii and nil classes of our people
will be reached and benefited.
Because last year it expended
$31,000 inore oii education than the
Liberals did iii 1911.
Because it has re-enacted the law
granting supplements to teachers,
which was abolished by the Liberals.
Because since coming into power it
has given tcncliers the following ln-
crcasc of salni‘ies:--
lst class nuile teachers $82
1st class fcniale teachers 124
2nd class nnilc teachers 77
2nd class fenialc teachers 79
llrd class inale teachers 59
Zlrd class i`<-innle teachers 00
Because it cstiiblislied the Summer
School for tciiclicrs and pays the ex-
penses of tcurlicrs attending the
course.

OF VITAL IMPORTANCE
TO EVERY ELECTOR OF P. E. I.
A Few Good and Valid Reasons why every Liberal-
Conservative and independent Liberal Should Vote
lor the Government Candidates on September 16th.
‘at least four times lil the year, thus
interesting parents more in education.
giving teachers and pupils more assist-
ance and encouragement in their work.
obtaining better results and raising
the standard of their schools through-
out tlie province.
Because they established a School
Supply Depot, where parents and
pupils may obtain all school books and
school requirenicnts at cost, thus sav-
ilig parents many dollars yearly in the
purchase ol' school supplies.
Because it has been, alid will coil-
tiiiue to be. the policy of the Govern-
inent to give teachers all the material
assistance possible to still further im-
prove their conllltlons, and to raise
the schools of the province to the high-
est possible standard of efficiency.
Because the Liberal manifesto does
not promise to do anything for teach-
crs, and if the Liberals are returned
they may again sweep away the sup-
plements antl bonuses, as they did
when in power.
Because they have established a
road system under which the peoplo's
taxes are expended on the roads in the
district in which they are collected,
instead of being sent to the Depart-
ment of Public Works. to be distri-
buted and expended on favourite roads
and favourite workers as was the case
under Liberal rule.
Because all tax payers, whether
(‘.oiiservative or Liberal, are given an
equal opportiillity to pay their taxcs
by road work.
Iicczuisc this system oi’ road-iiiakliig
gives l'liir play to all and has produced
the best roads ever known in the pro-
vince and put an end to the squander-
iiig of the farmers' taxes on the high-
ways.
