Yesterday was perhaps one of the most exciting
days in the Legislature this session. The Hon.
Charles Dalton in an able and most effective speech
replied to the Leader of theOpposi`tion and brought the
blush* of shame, for the first time _during the session,
to the perennially smiling countenance of that imper-
turable gentleman. Mr. Dalton in modest language
referred to what_ he hadldone in connection with the
Sanatorium which bears his name and said if there
was a spark of honesty or gentlemanly conduct in Mr.
Bell's _constitution he would be ashamed of the action
he had taken in regard to this matter, Mr. Dalton’s
speech is given in full in another part of this issue
and will be read with appreciation and admiration by
everyone who is interested in the province and in this
magnificent institution _ _
Mr. J. j. johnson made a bitter and uncalled for
attack upon Hon Mr. Kennedy and was called to order
at the instance of the Premier for unparliamentary
language. Mr. Johnston also got into trouble by an-1
nouncing that he had been appointed attorney by the
owners of the Morwenna in a threatened action
against the government, in utilizing his position as a
representative of the people of the province in order
togain information in support of his alleged claim.
At the evening session, the_Hon. A. E. Arsenault
delivered one of the most brilliant speeches ever heard
in the House. There was a crowded audience who
followed with breathless silence (only interrupted with
spontaneous applause when the Hon. member made
palpable hits at the expense of the Opposition,) his
stirring and lucid address on the finances and ,legis-
lative acts of the Government during the past four
years. 1
One of the most amusing interludes was when Mr.
Bell enquired whether certaincaustic remarks by’ Mr..
Arsenault applied to him Mr. Arsenault in uired if-
. ` - ll
the hon. member thought they did and the Leader
laniely replied amidst laughter that he thought they
did not. \
Mr. George E. Hughes, who followed occassioned
an unexpected scene. He delivered an evidently care-
fullyw prepared speech which had been for the most
part committed to manuscript and it was when he
departed from his text and proceeded to refer to the
hay charges that. he fell foul of the Speaker. Mr.
Hughes alleged that no Liberal got an opportunity'
of supplying the hay contracts in this province and
that this patronage was given wholly to the friends of
the Government.  Premier pointed out _that thc
purchases of hay were made by the Imperial Govem-0

ed. Mr. Bell doesn't know whento stop, simply bt!
cause he says nothing relevant to the matter in hand.
And this is the criticism of his friends. The matter
theother
in hand was a criticism of the bud et s ech, a criti- i ‘

his finger on such. He failed to do so, 85 Every 9£li¢!,'
member of the Opposition who has spoken so far has
similarly failed. The whole of the criticism of the
financial 'policy of the Government has been vague and
indefinite. When challenged to point out a single item
which they would have cut down the members of the
_Opposition sat dumb or immediately began to
change their tactics. Mr. Bell led the way in this
respect and naturally his supporters followed suit.
The Leader of the Opposition spoke for nearly four
hours or just about double the length of time taken by
the Premier. There was this additional difference:
The Prernier's speech was full of facts and informa-
tion which the public could appreciate whereas Mr.”
Bell’s consisted largely of carping criticisms and
littlenesses which would bring discredit to' a budding
orator in a mock parliament. Mr. Bell concluded
his four hours speech byblaming the alleged unpopu~
larity of the Premier for the reduced majority of the
Government at the last election, a statement \vhie'h
was received with' laughter by members on both sides
of the House. Thus possibly, Mr. Bell has broken
another record in 'his leadership in having to resume
his seat amid shouts of ironical laughter instead of ap-
preciative applause.

105th REGIMENTAL FUND
As previously announced the Regimental Bandj
for the i05th has been organized and a full set of in?
struments has been ordered at a cost of abou't»$i2oo.‘
This amount has to be raised either by the Regiment;
or foriit; the Government makes no provision for
band instruments. Elsewhere throughout Canada
wherever a regiment has been formed band in-3
striiments have been presentd to thc regiment, in some
cases by a single individual, in others by popular con-
tribution. Every locality is proud of its regiment and
does what it canito make the men as comfortable as
possible and to contribute as much as possible to their
enjoyment. We in Prince Edward Island when send-l
ing units to the front did something for them, contri-
buted very generously, notably in the case of the.
Heavy Siege Battery which went from here direct to
throughout the province did nobly for the men who `
Now we have another opportunity. A full regiment;
