Glue Premier At Ottawa Odiicident with the news of the presélt " before the Audit Board of _r subsidy claims by Prem"‘er B: ers, Hon. W. M. Lea and "At- tcrn$ General" CampbelL-wlloev- er ‘but gentleman may be-comes tho ifeport from the usually well-in- fo W Montreal Gazette that Prem- isr ‘under-s will shortly be appoint- ed a Supreme Court iudgeshlp. Itfwas well understood that dur- ing Qis present and previous visits to Ottawa the Prem‘er had more than the subsidy iron in the fire. This may or may not account for his fall- urlendhring the two and a half years in which he has nominally led the Government, to implement h's pre-e1- ectifip, promise'fo secure prompt set- tlerfint of our subsidy claims. It will be necalled that at the last session of i» Legislature the Premier fclt ed that before mother year had paasid he would have “ s very plclls- ant llirlncuncement" to make. If his retirement from politics is the an- nouncement he had in mind, there is no‘ doubt that he spoke with a sin- cereiappreciation of the agreeable- flew-bf the news. Prgmier Saunders, who happens to occupy the office and to b: drawing the Ialary oi Attorney General for the ikrovinoc, will probably be able to explain on his return from Ottawa whyQIMr. Campbell was foisted up- on the Audit Board as Attorney Gen- eralmlt will o. recalled that on a similar occasion in connection with the t’ presentation of our subsidy clsinis at the inter-provincial eon- fereupe o! 1m, the Premier's col- league, now Judge fnmsn, was also offidially introduced as "Attorney Cerldsal." In the present case, it is diffiiydllt to understand wily the Premier, with the assistance of the Minibier of Agricultur\e and Secret- ary Treasurer could not perform his own duties before the Audit Board cspcc isllygag it is fully understood that the lhnferencc is merely of a prelim- nature.

Mr. Ma's name has already been gpgg-ested as a possible candidate in the federal election; but the embar- ramment of having to support such measures as increased tariff on New Zesland butter, to’ which he, unlike Finance Minister Dunning. is bit- terly opposed. may induce him to “dept ths provinc’al leadership. gin” the prospects for election in either case are remote, Mr. Leo's USlStBTXLy in this respect will not place him at any serious disadvan- U00- Political Trickery "The Dunning budget, says an Ot- exchange, is designed from bc- ginning to end to getla trick appeal y: ‘the country and with it ll new lease of life.

Piflm manna some limit even in fowl. to an permissible economy and if from time to time “familial n00 paw-ea to vlmllb office on a cry of Freer Trade. Herc 1s a Government that has held on to office through a decade by bargain- ing in Parliament for low tariff votes. Here, finally, is a Government which, after ten years of this sort of jugg- ling, Juggling which retarded Canadian drove hundreds of thousands of Can- adians from their homeland, and dissipated a large portion of the substance of Canada. ncw faces the Canadian people with one flnal trick, one final trampling upon all of its principles, to hold on to office and power. For ten years it injured and in some respects betrayed Canada for the alleged benefit o_f Progres- sives and the West. Now, facing an eflection, it is willing to betray Pro- gressives and the west for the bene- nt of itself. Only one year< ago, Mr, Charles Dunning, the Minister of Finance. declared that ‘Mr. Meighens so-cal- led "brick for brick" tariff policy against the United States would "be ruinous for Canadian agriculture." Yet the man who tried to get votes in the West by saying that, now cbmes forward and proposes, in prin- ciple, at all events, the precise action that Mr. Meighen proposed. The only difference, the only distinction, is that while Mr. Meighen would have carried out his policy honestly. courageously and above board, Mr. Dunning would do it without cour- age and almost by stealth. Mr. Meighen, as Mr. Bennett pointed out, would put up the bricks in his own wall, would make his tariff in Canada. Under Mr. Durmlngb scheme, in line with the deceptl and party eun- nlng of the entire Budget, we would have the bricks put up by Uncle Sam, would have the tariff of Can- ada determined by the Congress and President of the United States. It is the old game of this Government, a game practised consistently since 192i, of bedeviling the fiscal politics of Canada, of making tariff sche- dules and policies a political foot- ball, of trying to pretend 0n: thing East. And as with these countervailing duties, so with the British Prefer- ence. So far as the proposals of this Budget give Britain a genuine preference, a genuine preference without unfair injury to our own in- dustries and our own people, they will bc welcomed. But here again. as all through this Budget, there has been trickery and deception, a cheap game of trying to fool the ei- cctorate and curry favor with cer- tain voters by cunning pretense that a preference is given where there is actually no preference at all. Under these preferential rate reductions, some things have been proposed that may help British trarle. But in other cases, in the majority of the ratc reductions. the decreases arc on commodities that do not move-it is like giving Iceland a preference on oranges. It is that sort of thing, this attempt t0 throw dust in the eyes of the public that, honest men should resent. L-ii Editorial Notes If it be true, as is currently re- ported, that the holdup in the ap- pointment of a Minister of Fisheries is due to the inability of the local Liberal machine and _Prime lulnu- ter King to agree upon a nominee, it would seem the course of prudence to straighten out this difference of oplnioh ‘a4 quickly as 1100111710 f! Prince ldwardlfslsud is to receive its promised cabinet representation. Already the Vancouver Province is unsold: out the menu wri- folfrlfloifld I000 British Columbia industry, injured Canadian agriculture, in the West and another thing in the ‘P Notes By The Wqy : “It ls a revelation to recall the‘ speeches made by the honorable gentlemen who sit there and then to‘ listen to the honorable gentleman! who rose in his place and stated that vosre going to have countervailing duties imposed." Hon. R. B. Bennett On the Budget If a Liberal dict‘ona.ry is prepared in the not distant future, it will probably contain in its list, of syn- onyms the following words: "coun- ter-i ailing," “retallatcry," "brick-for- brick." Chemists are trying to determine what was in the home-made punch that paralised nine club women at a bridge game. The party was held several days ago 1n the fashionable College Hill district, and the women whose names are wltheld, are among the social elite of Wichita. Six are suffering from paralytic of the leg; and are confined to bed. Three have symptoms of paralysis but are able to walk with canes. The woman who made the punch and who is one of its victims, told Dr. M. H. Hastitner, county physic- ian it was “splked" with what was supposed to be grain alcohol. No‘ Jamaica gulger was used. Yet the paralysis is even more serious than in the “Jokc" vict'ms. The Imperial Conference of 1016 arrived at the conclusion that some' of the existing legal and constitu- tional arrangements of the Empire were not entirely in accord with the developments of recent years. A re- commendation was accordingly made that an expert committee should be appointed to consider and report on these matters. The summary of their published report appear; to show that as far as Australia is con- cerned the conclusion of the com- mittee will not, 1f adopted by the next Imperial Conference, bring about any great change. The Montreal Gazette remarks: "The Dunning Budget is an ingeni- ous one from a political standpoint, but the proof of its economic sound- ness will require something more. convincing than the generalizations in which Mr. Dunning indulged.‘ The question as to which are the more impressive, the Swiss Alps or the Canadian Rockies, has often been ra‘secl, argument on both sides being strong. The contention 1s re- vlved by the excuse given by a ‘Swiss evangelist and world traveller who ran foul of the Canadian laws, and jumped from a boat while in vflstody. giving the excuse to the police that when he saw the Rockes he became so home-sick he wished ‘to stnv there. 'I‘his Swltzer knows ‘his mountains, so his excuse may be taken as an sdvertnement for our ockcs. They are something worth | series by both Omadbnasnd Europ- cans. The change in the attitude of the people of this continent toward the place of music in the home, and the production of music in the family circle is shown in its effect upon the piano industry. The latest: develop- ment in this regard is found in the reorganization of the sci-called piano trust 1n the United States, due to the falling off in business, which is ascribed to the competitions of the phonograph and thed-adio. It is not so long ago, that no home was regarded as completely furnished according w the highest current standards ulthout a piano, but that day seems t0 have passed. Twenty-sir million dollars is the price paid by farmers and poultry- raisers for loss through crsessgs in poultry flocks annually. according to recent estimates.

AID MAKIKG T"! OPERATION SAFE that takuylacs before, during, and, after an operation. i Everybody dislikes the idea of anI operation. The thought of going ofl to sleep, sinking into consciousness, is some- thing that calls forth all our stamina- In formel-“days, the family Dhiim- lan notified the surgeon, and the hour for the operation was arranged with- out the surgeon or the anaesthelat ever seeing the patient until the moment of the operation. A few years ago it became cus- tomary for the surgecnbtn see the patient in hospital for a day, or cou- ple of days, before the operation, or perhaps at his own office where an = examination ls made. i Nowadays however not only the‘ family physician and the surgeon make an examination but the anae- thetist also. I-ie wants to make sure that the patient is in condition to withstand the operation and he makes his own investigations. . If the blood is lower than 00 per cent inihaemogiobin, the operation is delayed until the percentage is raised. The average individual in fair health runs from 80 to 90 per cent in hae- rnoglobin. Another point is the number of red l corpuscles. There should be five million in a certain amount of bloodand 1f they arc reduced to less than three and a half million the operation is delayed. One of the latest tests is that of the blood pressure. As you know the systolic‘ blood pressure is the force the heart exerts to pump the blood into the blood vessels, and the ‘dias- tolic’ is the force the blood pumpe into them by the heart. - The systolic blood pressure is the one you hear mentioned always. 1n speaking of blood pressure the indi- vidual will tell you that his blood pressure is high-say 100 or over, and low, if it be 110 or lesl. v The diastolic should keep below the 100 nlark.. A method of estimating the stabil- ity of the heart is the energy index which Dr. F. W. Lest/ch tells us is ob- tained by adding the systolic and diastolic pressure llncl multiplying them by the heart rate- If the result- ant figure (considering only thou- sands) lies between 12 and 18, it is corlsidered safe for the‘ patient to undergo the operation. Of course in emergencies the oper- ation must take place anyway, but it is gratifying to know that the family doctor, the surgeon, and the anaes- thetist are working together to rem der the operation safe. when... ‘d: questions of law-on. nu Charlottetown Gunilla does not necessarily calorie the opinions of sorreupoulnh. CARE OI‘ ROADBIDIS Bin-I no_ticed a timely editorial. think it is a pity that farmers and he general public do not lake more interest and pride in having all; sides of our highways. I would sugq gest that our roadmastcrs be in-X structed to see that. the roadsides be; left tidy. I After the road machine has oper- sled one sees a good, smooth, well- lnlds highway, but the sides left with piles of loose sods and stones scattered about. spoiling the general appearance of the whole work. - One beautiful spot, tlls view of which is disgraccfuily marred, is at the turn of the road leading to Hal- iklayis Wharf. This place seem to have been made s. dumping ground for the whole neighborhood and thei rubbish has accumulated until it has' overflowed on to the road itself. strangers from other provinces visiting this section of the country are charmed with the beauty cf this spot with its high red ciifls and beautiful expanse of water, An en- deavor should be made to keep it attractive, especially during the tourist season. We hope that the present unsight- ly condition will be cleared away, not only from the locality referred to, but from many other similar place; through our Province. I am Sir, etc. " BELFASTER. ELECTION’ SYMPTOMS Sin-Another sign of the impend- ing federal election ~was evidenced at a meeting of the almost defunct Liberal committee of French River poll, held in the hall there on Mon- day evening, May 5th., for thcpur- pose of appointing nominees for rc- turning officer, and a registrar. There was a v01‘! sml-U attend- ance audit has been reported that the discussions did not sound that riots of co-operation which indicates that "all is well." It willbe remem- bered that both the president and secretary of thig poll committee died about eighteen months ago. About a year ago a meeting was‘ called to appoint others in their steed. At the last moment, a muse arrived from the Hon. John ‘E. flinclsir ad- vising that the meeting was to be called off. and that Mr. Sinclair would arrive with the Liberal organ- ifier i0 reorganize the poll. As there has been no word or sound from the f-fon. John since then, his friends feared that he was dead altogether. The recent news that he wag still alive and in hot pursuit of the va- cant Banstorship came as a great relief. V l am Sir. etc. OLD-TIME LIBERAL. THE rlraa?

The Dominion parks are selected principally with the idea of preserv- ing the natural beauty spots and of providing playgrounds for the peo- ple. Altogetherythore are upwards of eleven thousand miles of them, but none of the provinces east of Ontar- ‘ 1o possess natural parks with the exception of two small historic grounds, covering only a few acres, in Nova acetic.

It covers over eleven hundred square miles of rolling woodland country dotted-with severahlakel and rising to the well-known Riding Moun- 14in. u. u a niiurol home for big, game and its reservation as n. park will not only conserve a typical ex» ample of-lthe scenery of Manitoba but will make provision for the re-u stional needs of the. people of this‘, port of Canada and become an im-| poi-taut big lune sanctuary and] tourist attraction as well. The; Georgian Bay Islands Park consists of twenty-nine island reservations in what 1s admittedly one of the most! beautiful 5 of Canada, and one! which in recent you! has become the home of large number: of summer‘ residents. many of them from the United states. Owinl in the popular- i ity of this region, the islands hovel been rspldly passing into private“ hands, and it became clear that. un- less prompt action were taken, the general public would no longer have access to any of the islands for re- creation purposes. ‘Ills action of the department of the Interior in reserv- ing a national park in this area shows timely for bought Visitors to Parks 14st year there were more than 360,000 visitors to Canada's national parks. o! these, no fewer than 10,000 went to Prince Albert Park, which was established two years ago in Saskatchewan, and is situated seven- ty miles from a railway.
