MEl(iHEN’S SACRIFICE In order to come to ('harlottetown and later to keep i-iigngi-iiir-iits in Picton, l~`rcderi<-ton and St John, Mr Arthur Itleiglien has had to ilisiiDD0i"t his party in Maiiitoliii. lti liiat province Sir J. :\. S- Aiiiiml- M-P-i *md .\lr Williaiii Sharp, E\i.l’., liave resolved to resign their Seats in the lloniiiiion lioiise and tlirow theinselves itito the work of rcorgaiiisiiig thc party in the province. Naturally, in oriiiiiarv circurnstaiices ltlr Melglien would have liked to be in ilie thick ot' the light, but he feels that the dciiinnds upon him for patriotic meetings have more weight than those for party. So Maiiitoba will have to get on 88 best it can without liini till his prograinnic in the Maritinlc Provinces has been coiiiplcted. ,\lr .\leighcn has risen speedily to the foremost position iiiii-ing our public inen. Ile is more a diplomat than a politii-iiiii. One of those present at Saturday niglit`s meet- ing said he iniglit be reckoned the Sir Edward Grey of (`nnada. lturiiig the second session of Parliament one ol’ the favoiirite themes upon which the Opposition lHll'D0d WHS the delay in appointing a Solii-itor-Geiieral. When lion. .itrtlinr Mi-iglicii was appoiiitcil, the Leader ot' the Opposi- tion di-voted fiftceii ininutcs of an liour's Speech to a dis~ i-iissiop ot' the appointment, paying a fulsoine coiiipliment lo the new appoiittce, :ind at the same time exhibiting a fcnrsonie regard for his qualities as a debater and Parlia- iriciitary tiicticiaii. For, while the Leailer ofthe Opposition ina_\' have iiiiliilgeil in delicate snrcasin at the expense ot' the iloveriiinciit. _vi-i at the sainc tiinc it could not but he i'i-xrarilcd as thc highest testiiiioniiil to Mr Arthur Meiglieii pcrsiiiiall_\'. l’r<-niicr liordcn has hail the t`aciilt_\', since coming into ollice, of siirrouiiiling liiinself with iiinti_v able nicn, and this si-li-ction has ccrttiiiiiy jiistllicd itself in the opinion, not only of i'zirliaiiiciit, lint ol` the coiiiitr_v.

Since coming into riflice, the Solicitor-General has het-it placed in rlmrge oi' soine of the larger questions that are tai-iiig the (lovcriiineiit. Ocriaii freight rates, capitalisatfoii of railways, and other far-rr-acliing matters are the special tasks that have been set before him, with thc t'iill know- lcdgi- on the part ol' thi- (lov:-riiineiit that they will be wi-ll looked after, and that the very foundations of the siibjr-et will be reaclirid.

THE PATRIOT ON THE DEFENSIVE ln the course of three and a quarter columns of defen- sive editorial the Patriot. _yesterday creates something of a record in political journalism. lt is the ditty of ati Opposition to oppose when there is good ground for opposl~ tion. 'l`he Patriot having no ground whatever for opposi- ii0ll Droceeileil to manufacture evidence with a bootnerang effect. lt is now busy attempting to explain away its critic-.isnt and to bolster up its position by appealing to the Watelimiin for support. The farthest the Watchman will Mpiy.-~i»»"i\ui` ii:~f.'v.;s "ssl"-,si-rt two" .tif i"“‘»v~`.t‘°1 ,, . ,- » » , _ i ' TH¥UE§ iW.1.M7l.’1’!`.W?5’}i'I‘il go, linwever. is to ctiiitlmistv state “lf it can be shown. as reported. that mitch of the grain has been devoured the Patriot. Will the Patriotaccept this challenge and prove, as it has already reported. that "much or the grain the Patriot tu make good its charge. Will it accept this, will it si-iid a representative to the Railway Warehouse to report on the coiiditlon ln which he found the grain stored there? lt is up to the Patriot to accept this challenge and make the aniciide honorable or for ever hold its peace. ()ur contemporary deities that Mr Nash intends to oppose Captain Mcl’itall for Belfast and states that Mr George Forbes will do so, while Mr Nash runs against Mr Martin. This is a mere subterfuge, the Patriot machline manipulated the whole of the selection of candi- dates, aint decided that Mr Nash would run ln the district which had turned him down. and which he admitted did not want his services. is Mr Forbes a willing candidate against (‘iiptain McPhail, or is he merely a blind to enable l\ir Nash to take advantage ol' the gallant Captaln's absence nn lils eountry's service? The Patriot says in effect L‘aptain_i\IcPliall ought to be here to look after his' constiiiieiii-y. lf it were not for Captain MePhail and his fellow-voluiitcers there might be no Belfast to repre- sent. 'l`he Patriot knows this. but takes advantage of the opportiiiiitr. after admitting that Belfast does not want Mr Naisli to represent it. The Patriot attempts to read us a lesson on journalistic ethics in asa-ioclatlng Mr Nash as ii candidate with the editor of the Patriot. But the fault, if fault there be, is not ours. lt was Mr Nash whoiuseil thc editorial “ we ” in the editorial columns of the Patriot when admitting that neither the city nor the country had any use for him. Mr _\'iisli cannot have it both ways. He cannot use the editorial columns of the Patriot to make his personal aiiiioiiiiceinents as a defeated candidate and tlieu take exception to a critic associating the one with the other. To ditfereiitiate under such circumstances would be im- possible aiid_ inipolitic. Just one other point in the Patriot‘s three and a qiiarter colinnn ol’ defensive matter requires mention, and that is with regard to the fulfilment of the Governiiieiit’s proiuises made in Opposition. The Patriot takes the coinmisslons paid to road masters and says: "There, Mr Matlilcson proniised to abolish commission paid to road masters, and here he is contiiiuing the system in vogue under the Liberals "l He is doing nothing of the sort. The com- missions piiid by the Liberals were so ntucli graft, for which the fariners got no benefit whatever. L'iidq‘ the new Act the money is paid under the personal supervision of the farniers tlieinselves, who know better than any other 0110 wlietlier or not they are getting value for their money. ()ii this point we may quote from the speech of the lion. J. A. McNeill. t‘oinmlssioner of Public Works, on the Budget, as it puts the matter succinctly and in a niaiiner which we defy the Patriot or any other one to misunder- stand. however they may attempt to misrepresent: “ ln the matter of roads, as you know, a new Road Act was passed in our first session. it iicizessarily reiiuiruil some time for thi- otlicials to become acquatiiled with the details, bitt l niii pleased to say that after trial of three years. it has proved highly satisfactory. It is no longer D0-ssililc to iieglcct the roads of any district or divert the road tax t'roiti one district to another. "l5acli district makes it coinplete unit and the people know that their tax is spent on their roads and the in. creased interest they are taking in the roads goes far to provide t`or eflicient and cconoinical expenditure of the tax and to provide l`or the faithful performance of statute labour. The niaciiinery provided l`or hy this Act for the colleetloii of taxes has proved of special clliciciii-y. lii 1011 road taxes were mild by 10,350 people and on 10,158 horses, while in lltl-t they were paid li_v 13.900 pi-rsoiis and on 215,057 liorses--ati increase of 12,1100 in-rigmig mm 5,599 horses. \\'c can only infer that the old collectors had very ini-oinplpte iiit'orination or were very lax in fhgir duties. it is true that this takes in extra persons from G0 to 65 years of age, but this is more than bnlaiiccd li_v tho loss ut' Souris. Georgclowii and All>i*i't0ii, froin wliich no taxes were collected. ln the years 1912 and 1013 the returns show lliat over 98 per cent. ot` the road taxes were collected diirini.: the year and almost without recoiiixso to any suit or legal action and 75 per cent. of tliesc`:irt'ear.s; liuve since. been paid. This in the lace of an increase in the ,rate of taxation and an additional dog lax, speaks volumes in favour of the iiicthod ol' collection and the :ipproval of thi; tax, , “l'nilcr the l'oriiicr ailniiiiistiaitioii we liiiil lii the Vounty (‘ourt records that in one single _voar i||i~|-.» wi-,»,. l,228 stills l'or the recovery of taxes, iniicli of v,~||i¢;11 was never irollected.
