MONDAY JUNE 7. 1915. '
OUR NEW (i0VERNOR g
- Mr. l<‘. K. Bennetts, Assistant Clerk of the Privy Coun-
cil, arrived in Charlottetown on Saturday night, with the
commission appointing Mr. Augustine Colin Macdonald
Lieutenant-Governor of Prince Edward Island in succession
to Mr. Benjamin Rogers, whose term of office has ex-
pired.
This appointment will be received with universal ap-
proval throughout the Province, as Mr. Macdonald has had
a distinguished public career, and belongs to a family
which has been long and honourably associated with the
affairs of the Island. Mr. Macdonald first entered the
local Legislature in 1870, for the third district of King’s,
and in 1873 was returned as a member for Klng’s County
to the Houseof Commons. He was again returned in 1878
and sat till 1887. He was subsequently elected in 1891 and
1896, sitting till 1900, when be was defeated. He fought
altogether eight Dominion elections, being returned five
times. Mr. Macdonald is the son of Mr. Hugh Macdonald,
who immigrated from Inverness-shire, Scotland, settling in
Three Rivers, and was born at Panniure on June 30, 1837.
Mr. Macdonald is married, his wife being Mary Elizabeth,
sixth daughter of the late Hon. John Small Macdonald, who
will discharge the duties of hostess at Government House,
assisted by their daughter, Miss Helena C. Macdonald. It
is interesting to recall `that Mr. Macdonald’s brother, Sena-
tor Andrew A. Macdonald. was Governor from 1884 to 1889.
The new Governor will be sworn in to-day, the oath
being administered probably by the Chief Justice, Sir W.
Sullivan.
 The retirement of Mr. and Mrs. Rogers from Govern-
ment House will be regretted by a large circle of friends,
MPS. Rogers €SDC0iH1ly having intimately identified herself
with all movements of a charitable, benevolent and pat-
riotic nature, connected with the Province.
i.i|n:RALs' iu:c3Ro or DEFENCE
The following record of Liberal policy ln the defence
of the Empire will be of interest at the present time:
ed not one solitary sixpence to the naval defence of the
Empire.
In 1907 Sir Wilfrid Laurier told the Imperial Con-
ference in London that he was prepared to vote against
a resolution urging the Overseas Dominions to take some
slinrc in the burden of Naval Defence.
in 1009 Sir Wilt`rid's hand was forced by the Conser-
vative Party, and despite a declaration that he did not
think (fauada “had been remiss in hcr duty to the Em-
pire iii the past." he was compelled to acknowledge the
I)ominion`s responsibility in regard to Imperial Naval
Defence.
Sir Wilfrid moved a vague and`indolinite resolu-
tion, in which he promised action.
Several objectionable clauses in the resolution
were dropped at the earnest solicitation of Sir Robert
Borden.
Six Liberals who discussed the resolution declared
flint Canada was under no legal obligation to aid the
Motlierland: contended that Canadians were doing "all
flint they were morally bound to do without tiontribut-
ing towards naval defence; euloglzed the Monroe Doc-
trine as the rczil protector of Canada, and litiitodfxft (fan-
ailiaii independence.
Iii 1910 Sir Wilfrid Laurier refused to accept tho
Adiiilralt_y'g suggestion that Cainida establish one Fleet
llnit on the I’nciiic. . _ _
instead, he decided to build two sets of light cruisers,
too weak to be elfectivc, one on thc Pltcific and thc other
on thc Atlantic. " ' `
Sir Wilfrid Laurier insisted that tlicsc ships would
not he available for the defence of the Empire as u
whole, that they would not necessarily take part in "all of
l~}nglaiid's wars." ~
Several prominent Liberals openly talked of Canadian
lndepciideiice, and Laurier reiterated and emphasized his
assertion that the Canadian navy might hold aloof from
certain of the Enipire’s wars.
Laurier promised naval dockyards to four different
seaport towns; received tenders for the construction of
cruisers, but owing to_a fear of losing certain votes in
Quebec pidgcon-holed the offers. and refused to let the
contracts for his absurd and inadequate programme.
in 1911 the Liberals were turned out of office without
having attempted to carry out the promises they made
in 1909. p '
in 1912 they sneered at and questioned the good faith
of the Admiralty when it' requested that Canada should
provide for the common defence of the lihnplre three of
the largest ships which "sclence could build and money
supply. ' __ _ A fn-i`-.-il.
They scolfed at Sir Robert Boi'den's declaration that
the Empire was faced with au, em' i‘gency.'-_" ` ‘
In the House of Commons theirfvoted for the following
propositions- . » _
(1) Against the construction of three Drendnoughts
to be placed at the disposal of the Admiralty for
the common defence of the Empire, '
That instead $35,000,000 be voted iii"‘l.` lufllb num,
to be applied over a series of yearn toward the
immediate construction in Cana4fa`. "df 'two Fleet
Unite, which would cost at least $100,000,000.
That the money needed for naval expenditures be
not voted in a lump sum, but by yearly vote.
That Canada “should enter actively upon a perm-
anent pollcy of naval defence,” and do so "with-
out fnrther delay."
That nothing ln the way of naval defence be
done until after an election had been held.
That the bovernment should be condemned for
‘not carrying out a permanent navel policy .et
once. ' `
<7) " 'rust nothing siioiiid be acne in the
defence until redistribution bpd’ been
' and en' election- held. """'" ‘

» CITY 00V'ER)iMENT
A correspondent directs our attention to the follow-
ing article in a recent exchange: » .
_ lt is very widely admitted that, if citizens take the
trouble to elect the properitlnd of“nien', the Commission
form of government is a vast improvement over cityf
council methods of management. Some idea of tho
success of Commission government is got from ii. recent
report of the State auditor of Iowa, as to tho .history of
nine cities operated by Commission in the State. For
the first time in history it is shcwii that these cities, last
year, lived within their incomes. The Federal census
has likewise collected figures, with regard to the opera-
1tlon of Commission government. and the results have
been equally satisfactory. Of seventy cities so governed,
sixty-one were found to be running at less per capita
than the average head expense of one -hundred and nine-
ty-five cities under different government. But even
when the expenditures of Commission cities are higher
than others, it is a generally conceded fact that the
taxpayers of the former are getting more for their money
than they ever received under the old system. "It
may be true," is a comment in the Federal census, “that
Commission governed cities are not an unqualified suc-
cess, but neither is human nature an unqualified success.
But the Commission form does furnish an opportunity
for good citizens to get good goverunient if they are
willing to work for it. The_Clty Council form does not
furnish as good material to work upon. The Commis-
sion form encourages good citizenship by making it easy
for good citizenship to express itself.”
The main advantage in the Commission form of
government over the usual ward system lies in the
fact that in the former the voice of the whole city gov-
erns and there is a reasonable hope that men especially
fitted for government will be selected. Another advan-
tage lies in the fact that when so selected and paid a
reasonable wage for the work expected and the _time
expended, the appointee will have definite duties to per-
form and may reasonably be expected to perform these
duties.
We do not know any reasonable excuse for the
continuance of the ward system of civic government in
any city. it is true that the best man iii thc city may
be elected to represent ia. certain ward, but it is equally
'true t-hat he represents only that particular ward, not
the city. When he undertakes to suggest improvements
outside of his own ward he is liable to be told to confine
his attention to his own business.
‘ 1 "If citizens take the trouble to elect the proper kind of
men," to quote from ,our excliaiige. and provided each
'ward has “the proper kind of men," men who canafford
to give their time and attention gratuitously to their re-
spective wards, the ward system of civic. government
would probably be as good as any other. But this is
manifestly impossible. Few wards iii any city can call
out one or two men of thc necessary qiialiflcations for
government and who can devote their tiino gratuitously
to civic affairs. The usual result is that the honor and
the duty are placed upon those whose chief qualification
is their willingness to accept the honor.
Civic government should mean civic, not ward gov-
crnuiciit, and the men selected for thc duty should have
a civic, not a ward, outlook. whether they bc paid com-
missioners or self-denying city councillors.
These observations have no special reference to
Charlottetown: which is probably as well governed as any
city in Canada, but the ward system, wherever adhered
to, makes the, representatives the victlins of ward self-
ishness and imposes upon the city or town a government
,wliic\hl,_ at best, lis more concerned about the welfare
of ~its'tieveral fwards than of tho city or town as a whole.

S. S. “Lusitania" insurance .-
So far as can be gathered at present, the in-
surance losses consequent upon the sinking of the
“Lusitania” are as follows:-Life, about $650,000;
accident, about $760,000; marine, about $6,000,000l;
The British War Risk Bureau has $4,800,000 of ‘
the marine insurance loss. t ‘
