First, s priest is the ambassador of Christ, a represents- tive of the Saviour of the World. His office ls the holiest and noblest on earth. Let. us give our priests respect, gratitude, ctr-operation. Why wait. until a. priest is dead before telling him that you appreciate his sacred ministry. Secondlyz-Lesrn from Father McQulllal-l to take greater interest in the boys. So very often the boys are neglected in favor of the girls. Boys represent the fondest hope of the Mother Church. They are to be the men of the future, the lead- ers of society, the heads of families. From boys are recruited the priests of tomorrow. Give your boys every encouragement. Make sacrifices for their sakes. Let them through their high school courses. Let them tin- lsh st college. Lei; them aim high so that the community and tho Holy Mother Church‘ will rejoice in the might of educated fervent Catholic laymen. Tilirdiy:—Acqulre from this mag- nificent. study of Father McQuiii- en's life s. renewal of the spirit of true Christian charity. Be sincere in your profession of the state. "I love my neighbors as myself." Your neighbor means mankind of all description, but especially the poor, those in moral or physical distress. Do good to others while you live so that your memory will beheld in respect and your name mention- ed in benediction. ‘ Fourthiy-Desr bréthren pray for the repose of Father McQuili- en's soul. Among others you who wore u path to his confessional. pray for him, lest while having ab- solved others he himself might suf- fer n. longer time than need be in purgatory. Pray for departed priests -—priests are so easily forgotten. Yet their responsibilities commen- surate with as many souls as are committed to their care. Eternal Rest, grant to him 0 Lord and let perpetual light shine upon him. INDIAN MOUND TO BE SAVED JONESVILLE, La" July 19.—(U.

Brown, which occurred esrly Monday mom- Lrlg. June 29th at the residence of her son William W., Hillsborough street. The late Mrs. Brown was born in Hszelbrook eighty-three years ago and resided in that section of the province almost her entire life. She was well and favorably known throughout the province and beyond its border as for many years she in conjunction with her late husband. Mr. W. W. Brown, successfully con- ducted the Florida Hotel in Povmsi, which was patronized by many who will long remember Mrs. Brown as s cheerful and obllging hostess. After the death of her husband about six years ago she removed to Summerslde, where she spent two years, then removed to this city, where she resided with her son until her passing. _ She leaves to mourn. two sons, William W., of the C.N.R., this city, and Eugene in Boston; one sister.

PJ-Willism and Fred Halsey, fa- ther and son. srs under ssntsrlcs to dis in t-ho electric choir July M for the murders of Lise Harp". Clifford Jones sud Emest McCullough in o poker game, in which the slsin men hsd won heavily and the Halsey: lost It is now obvious to the electors, from the nature‘ of the Liberal press propaganda, that the Lea Govern- mentdlas no stomach to fight the provincial cam- paign on provincial issues. For that reason ii. is ap- peaiing to the people to “remember” everything under the sun but its own record of incompetency, extrav- agance, and broken election promises-a record which was well summed up by Mr. Bruce Butler, ex-member of the Lea Government, when he publicly charged it. with having “floated every principle of democracy.” The electors, we believe, have a much better mem- ory than the Lea Government seems to imagine. Here are some of the things they are not likely to forget when they‘ poll their votes on August 6: That when the Lea Government assumed office it. did so on a platform of‘ (among other things) econ- omy and a general reduction in taxation. That shortly after‘ the election the Patriot newspaper congratulated the Government on taking office “under peculiarly favorable circumstances" for carrying out its pledges. That there was found in the treasury a substantial surplus of $70,697 augmented, shortly afterwardflby the first annual interim subsidy payment of $125,000 secured by the outgoing Stewart adm’ "' ' “ion zmder the terms of the Duncan report. That in less than four months, according to the Public Accounts submitted at. the 1929 session of the Legislature. the Lea Government had turned the Stewart Government surplus into a deficit of $159,- 129.21; in other words, it had gone behind to the ex- tent of $229,826.39, and this apart from the highway ac- count in connection with which $60,000 was borrowed in Novembe. , 1927. RAKE'S PROGRESS CONTINUES The electors will not need_ to be reminded that the Lea Government's first act, at the 1929 session, was to borrow $100,000 for the unauthorized expenditure incurred by the Minister of Public Works when he ordered this amount of road machinery by telephone from agents outside the Province. That its next act was to borrow $300,000 for highway work and that this sum would have been increased to $500,000 but for the protests of the Opposition. That the Government then violated its promise of a general reduction of taxation by boosting the gaso- line tax from three to five cents a gallon (subsequently raising it to six cents by order-in-council), and passed legislation saddiing additional expense on the Province to provide for the employment of twenty-five Liberal campaign‘ henchmen as road superintendents. That at the end of 1928, despite greatly increased revenue derived from the interim subsidy payment, from increased tax arrears over 1927 0f $88,237 and increased revenue from motor vehicle licenses, gaso- line. tax, succession duties. real estate and personal income, road, horse and dog taxes, the Government came out with increased liabilities of $192,685, and a deficit on ordinary/account of $1,559.15, as shown by their "own Public Accounts. That in the following year, in face of the Provin- cial Auditor’s statement for 1929 showing increased liabilities of $246,048 and a deficit on ordinary account of $13,434, further borrowings were made of $200,000 for the Public Works Department. That this enormous liability was incurred notwith- standing that the Lea Government collected and ex- pended, since it came into power, two and a half million dollars over and above the revenue received by its pre- decessors. 1919 CAMPAIGN RECALLED In 1919 Premier Lea, Hon. J. P. McIntyre, Hon. B. W. LePage and other members and supporters of the Lea Government canvassed the Province abusing and criticising the Arsenault Governmenfls road policy, charging it witlPEommitting the Province “to vast ex- penditures amounting to $875,000 in five years" under the Dominion Highways Act. They damned that policy as an “infernal scheme.” Today, as the electors are aware, the Lea Government is spending more revenue on one mile of roadwork than would build several un- der the Conservative policy, and its election speedway on Malpeque Road, built at a cost of $27,000 a mile, is already falling to pieces under the summer sun. The electors will remember, also, that despite its increased squanderings and borrowings in the Public Works Department, which is today costing as much as it cost to run the whole affairs of the Province un- der the Stewart administration, the Lea Government has secured not one cent of additional subsidy from Ottawa. And this in face of the Governmeniis solemn pledge, embodied in its election platform, to exert its “utmost endeavors to press our claims for increased subsidy” and the argument advanced by the Liberal leader on the advantage of having the federal and pro- provincial governments in line, so that the Province would have “a friend at~Court” when our claims for subsidy settlement were presented at the inter-provin- cial conference in the fall of 19.27.

Nor are the electors likely to forget that the Lea Government pledged itself to 100 per cent enforcement of the Prohibition law, as admitted in a post-election editorial in the Patriot (June 27, 1927) in which it is stated that “bootleggers, home-brew makers, and sell- ers andsrnuggiers of liquor. if the Liberals remain true to their pledges and true to their affiliations with the Temperance Alliance, must be put out of business.” And that instead of this promised “great boon of a banished liquor traffic” (Patriot, May 23, 1927) boot- leggers flourish in greater numbers than ever before- protected and encouraged now under the Lea Govern- ment's Ticket of Leave Act which enables them, even after conviction, to evade punishment-and the result is seen in the Police Court records, which show a great- er number of arrests for drunkenness, a greater num- ber of accidents caused by drunkenness, and a greater mumber of deaths from drinking liquor, than at any time in the history of the Province since the days of Free Rum. OLD AGE PENSIONS y The Lea Government (the electors will remember) endorsed the Kins Governmenils old age pensions i nothing to offer, one way or the other, PAGE Nfwl lcileme whereby this Province would have to pay fifty per cent of the cost. They promised to put this scheme into effect in this Province “in a manner consistent with our revenue.” This pledge, embodied in their el- ection platform, was absolutely ignored, the Lea Gov- ernment not bothering even to ascertain the cost of such a scheme or the number of pensionable persons in the Province until a few months ago, when a census was ordered to be taken by their road superintend- ents, obviously as an election gesture and to mislead the people into supposing that. they had some con- structive policy in mind. ' Now that the Bennett Government, pending the time when it. can assume responsibility for the full cost of old age pensions, has increased the federal pay- ment to 75 per cent, and Hon. J. D. Stewart has stated that, if elected, he will put old age pensions legislation into effect in this Province, the Lea Government has but abuse and criticism. MONEY T0 SQUANDER It will not be necessary, either, to remind the ei- ectors that the Lea Government, though it had no money to pay old age pensions, to increase the teach- ers’ salaries or to fulfill its election pledges, could af- ford $8,000 of the taxpayers’ money to cover up the Andrew Fraser Mitchel scandal-a scandal caused by the bungling and stupidity of the Bell Government of which the present Premier, Hon. W. M. Lea, was Pro- vincial Treasurer and Minister of Agriculture. Nor that $1,200 was paid, without Legislative auth- ority, to the Temperance Alliance out of the rum prof- its of the Prohibition Commission, and another $1,400 to a detective from Montreal, who, according to ex- Premier Saunders, was himself a drunkzlrd and was incompetent to deal with the organized activities of the bootleggers in this Province. . Our school teachers will not need to be reminded that the recommendations of the Education Commis- sion have not been implemented by the Lea Govern- ment, though these recommendations were presented over a year ago in order to settle questions which even then were considered to be of the utmost urgency and importance both to the teachers and to the Province. Nor will our farmers be likely io forgot that the Lea Government in its election platform promised “to promote the growing of cranberries, blue-berries and small vegetables, and to thoroughly test the feasibil- ity of establishing a canning industry in the Prov- ince,” and that Premier Lea, (who is also Minister of Agriculture) has not only ignored this election plank but has done his level best t0 discourage his colleagues from putting ii. into effect. THE CONSERVATIVE’ GUARANTEE Furthermore, the electors will remember that the Stewart Governmenfs platform of 1923 was implem- ented to tile letter, and at the earliest opportunity af- ter assuming power, and that this is the best guarantee they can have of the good faith of the Corlservative leader in the present campaign. These are the things that concern the taxpayers in the coming provincial election campaign. and they are the things about which they will expect the Lea. Government candidates to speak. They will not require to be given a rehash of the federal election campaign issues! They already know that the defeat of tile Mac- kenzie King Government was due to its ostrich- iike inability to see the economic crisis that was fac- ing the country-to its tariff tinkering that resulted in the exploitation of the home market, and to the boast,- typical of its leader’s attitude towards his responsibil- ities, that it “would not give a five-cent piece" to re- lieve unemployment in any “Tory” Province. They know that the Bennett Government. since its election, has gone farther, in less time, than any previous govern- ment in giving effect to the comprehensive and construc- tive programme which Rt. Hon.R. B. Bennett submitted to the people at the general election. They know of the special session called to relieve unemployment and of the voting of $20,000,000 for that purpose. They know of the revision of the tariff for the protection of Canadian agriculture and industry. of the extension of federal aid to agricultural and technical education, the increase by 50 per cent in the appropriation for old age pensions, the formulation of a national fuel poi- icy-tile most comprehensive scheme of the kind ever launched in this country-the appropriation to aid in the transportation of wheat amounting to more than $10,000,000, the enlargement and application of the anti- dumping provisions of the Customs Act, and many other measures directly in line with the assurances given by the Prime Minister during the campaign. They know that no Government that has ever held office in Canada has gone so far in honoring its pledges in its first ten months of office. and that. with the im- provement in the economic situation already noted by Mr. W. McL. Clark, secretary of the Canadian Cham- ber of Commerce, in his stimulating addresses before the . Boards of Trade of Charlottetown and Summerside, there is every reason to expect that the Bennett Gov- ernment wili continue its splendid record, holding the confidence 0f the people and the approval of nil but. a disgruntled remnant whose political aspirations have been defeated, and who, it may be expected, will be- come gloomier and more vituperative with every step which is made, under Conservative policies and ad/ ministration, towards rehabilitation and prosperiiyi Members of Six Exchanges 1 This firm has membership on six exchanges -- the Montreal and Toronto Stock Exchanges, the Mont- real Curb Market, the Winnipeg Gmin Exchange, the Chicago Board of Tracie, and tile New York Curb Market (Associate).
