WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1915.
LAST Nloirrs RALLY
if there was any doubt ln anybody's mind as to how the
political current was flowing in Charlottetown, it was set
at rent by the magnificent meeting last night in the Peo-
ple's Theatre. The large auditorium was filled to the
doors, every inch of space was occupied and many wore
unable to gain admission. The audience was composed
almost entirely of electors, although many ladies graced
the occasion with their presence and evident interest.
The two Liberal candidates did the best-they could.
Both had difficulties to contend with which would have
tried stronger and more experienced men. ln/the first
place they had to defend the indefonsible position adopted
by the Patriot and other Grit exponents with reference to
oxtravagancc and waste. It is an easy position for an un-
scrupulous newspaper to take; itcan cry waste and ox-
travagancc ad infinltum and ad nauseam; it can reiterate
exploded charges and ignore the explosion. It is a dif-
ferent matter when these charges have to be defended on
the platform in presence of those who have the refutatlon
and the contrary proof ready on hand, and this was the
difficulty Messrs. Higgs and Duffy encountered last night.
Both Grit candidates are young men. with all the ambi-
tions, falliiigs and faults of young men and tho audience
oxtcndcd to them a generous measure of encouragement in
their maiden efforts as candidates for their suffrage. To
Mr. Higgs especially the audience was indulgent, but un-
fortunately for tho party neither candidate was able to'
reap the fruits that might have been expected. Mr. Duffy
only succeeded in confusing the issue while Mr. Higgs sat
down in the midst of hilarious laughter that made the
rafters ring. His anti-climax had miscarried and instead of
Proving effective made the unfortunate speaker appear
ridiculous.
On the other hand both the Government candidates
made the most of their opportunities and carried the au-
dicncc with them in their evident sincerity in and appre-
ciation of thc good causc they were advocating. Both>Dr.
S. R. Jenkins and Mr. James Paton had an enthusiastic
reception and when they sat down were rewarded with
tremendous applause which left llttlc doubt of tho out-
come of the election on September 16.
The speech of the evening. of course, was that of Pre-
mier Mathicson. lt was a magnificent effort and showed
as the Patriot had said on a previous occasion that Pre-
mier Mathieson was the “Daddy of them all." Ho oe; tho
Liberal candidates rlghton the question of surpluses and
representation and made them appear very small in
the cycs of tho electors present. The manner in which
he handled the pretensions of Mr. Benjamin Rogers de-
llglitcd the audience and thcre can be no doubt in any-
one's mind that after last night's exposure no on b
Conservative or Liberal will e' 8 he
I . care to vote for candidates
wio would place the Government of th |
hands of Mr. Rogers as Premier. 8 prov me in the
THE THREE RS.
Nothing is more surprising in tho policy advocated by
the Rogers party at the present time than the retrograde
movement in edncation, One of the greatest complaints
against the late Liberal Government was their policy of
starving the schools and driving the teachers out of the
province. They deprived the teachers of their supplements
and bonuses and brought about a general decline in educa-
tion throughout the province resulting in the closing of
schools and a low standard of education in those remain-
ing open.
One of the main planks in the Mathleson programme
was the development of our educational system, and in
three years wonderful work has been accomplished in this
connection. The reports of the inspectors show that under
the Liberal Government even the fundamentals of educa-
tion had hcen neglected and children who had reached the
high classes were deficient in their knowledge of the three
It‘s. With a lack of perspective, surprising in a party con-
taining gentlemen who sec "great visions", the Liberal
candidates have fixed upon this as an excuse for depriving
the country schools of all instruction in higher or second-
ary branches of education and confining them to reading,
writing and arithmetic. The absurdity of .such retrograde
movement at the present time must be apparent to 'the
most unsophistlcated. To confine the education in the
country schools to the three Rs. would deprive all ambi-
tious scholars of the opportunity to go further in thon-
oducation. That certainly is not the trend of tho moot
up-to-date and approvcd education policy either hero or
abroad. _
But if Mr. Rogers and his friends be returned to Omoo
farmers know what to expect for their children.
.______0___i._.;
OUR BRIDGES AND ROADS
Messrs Chandler and MacDonald, the Liberal candi-
dates for the Third District, have been alleging at the
meetings which they have addressed, that the late Liberal
Government had done as much with the means at their
disposal for the improvement of our roads and bridges as
has the present Government. They know, and the public
know, differently, and there is little use in labourlng the
point. If we want an example of extravagance and waste
by the Liberal Government we have but to referto the
bridge at Vernon River on which $2.074 was expended for
s poor patched-up structure, narrow and unsatisfactory
and altogether out of proportion to the money expended
upon it. C
Mr. Rogers in his manifesto suggests his party would
inaugurate a policy for the introduction of permanent
roads. There is no necessity for the introduction of any
such policy. it is already the policy of the Mathieso'i~
and Borden Governments. We seo already what the Gov-
ernment can` do with the limited means at its disposal.
Had not the Liberal Senate turned down the Highways
' ways? ,
was
in the same form aa the one we re-
tho grant for Agrionlturil Education. it had gone
we would have been resularly in receipt of an_
amount in the same proportion to that obtained hom the
airisnimi gmt.-which i-ns. from sas.ooo to as1.ooo poi-
altaum. What hope is there of obtaining such financial
assistance from the Liberal party? `
I ALLEGED _EXTRAVAGANCE
‘ _ One of the many-futile cries' heard on the hustlngs
during the past few days has been the alleged waste and
edravagance on the part of the present Government.- Not
a scintilla. of evidence has been adduced in support of the
charge; indeed it is but 'the echo of the phrase in the third
paragraph in Mr. Rogers' manifesto, that it would be his
policy “to eliminate waste and extravagance now so
marked.” The Premier in the last session of the Legisla-
ture severely cross-examined the than leader of the Oppo-
sitlon, Mr. John Richards, on this very point andgave him'
an opportunity of pointing to-any item which he would
consider it advisable to reducegoreliminate. Mr. Richards
was unable to indicate any item on which economy could
be practised. - ._ -.
The fact of the matter -is, the economy cry is a plagiar-
ism from Premier Mathieson's platform of 1908, and it is
because Premier Mathieson's Government has proved so
successful in practising economy .oi the fight .sort that the
Liberals would fain imitate rhlvpollcy,-‘ ' '  ~
nsnucsn nailtwalflniirss 
Until within ,the last year an ,ever-recurring agitation
kept the newspapers lively regarding the freight charges
on the P. E. I. Railway. The matter was taken in hand in
a business way by the Government and a. Conference was
arranged between the Railway authorities, the Board cf-
tatives. The result of that Conference was the abolition
oi' the three short hauls and the arranging of a tariff in 3
manner satisfactory to the majority of the commercial in-
terests. , ~ I p , _Q '
Ill his ml!-Hlfeeto, Mr. Benjamin Rogers resuscitates
this cry but does not condsscond to give particulars of the
reduced rates on the railway which his party would en-
deavour to obtain. Ho hints, it is true, that the roto oo
mussel mud has been advanced».to the detrimorit ofthe
farmers. This is not the fact; the rata on mussel mud has
not been increased and negotiations are on foot for sub-
tfmual fedllctlons. With the Mathleson Government in
Dower here and the Bordon Government in power at Ot-
targa-wlilch has already done so much for _us-this also
w be done, but what hope would there be from an ad-
verse Government sittlng in Cho;-1ot|_o¢own'_>

Confinually, the now conditions met with in the pres-
ent gigantic war give rise to new inventions of great im-
portance. Many of these inventions are designed (orde-
struction, and many for defensive protection. Occasional-
ly, thcre is one that has to do with relief work. Such is
the latest invention recorded.
" Tho work of the Red Cross and hospital attendants
has become so hazardous, and their immunity from attack
while engaged in rescue work, has become so uncertain,
that some more material physical protection has been
considered necessary. To meet these conditions a. bullet-
proof stretcher cover has been invented in England. It
appears to mcct the conditions perfectly. It consists of a.
long metal shield closed and arched at the top, and high
enough to enable the attendants to staiill erect within. At
the front end the shield is rounded and sloped backward
to -deflect bullets and two sight openings or eye holes are
provided through which the attendants may locate the
wounded. The sides are completely enclosed and the
stretcher itself forms the bottom. A vertical cross section
would show the shield as U shaped. It l.s mounted on
four wheels. By this means, the stretcher bearers may
locate a wounded soldier without danger to themselves.
place him on the stretcher and wheel him to a place of
safety. Thi! secmsln many ways a 'valuable invention.

JAPAN AND THE WAR
----e-_--9 %"»“’“m
Japan, as the Ally of Great Britain, ontored the great
war in the far eastern field and took Kiao Chao from the
Germans after a short siege. Since then her activities
have, so far as the public knows, been confined to con-
solidating her position in that Chinese sphere. This has
caused many persons to wonder if in time Japan would
not be called upon to play a more important part in the
ever-extending campaign. Now comes the statement of
Premier Okuma to the effect that Japan has decided to
give greater assistance to Russia in the prosecution of
the war. This is taken to mean that the help will be in the
form of forwarding large supplies of ammunition and guns
to the armies of the Czar. This aid comes at a stage when
it is badly needed. Baron Ishii, the former ambassador
to France, is authority for the statement that the Japanese
have been shipping arms and ammunition to Russia ever
since the war began. Hencefortli both public and private
factories are to be employed in turning out material for the
former foe. In conjunction with the publication of the
foregoing facts, a Tokio newspaper reports that tho Rus-
sian Government, besides asking for more munitions, has
requested the despatch of troops from Japan to the Rus-
sian fighting linos. The news is unofficial, but reads as
though it might be inspired. The world would not be sur-
prised to hear of a Japanese army marching to the front
one ‘of these fine days.
