LET Tll PEOPLE JUDGE
E .
lil view of the possibility of a provincial election in
the not distant future, and in View HlB0 0f me cmms
inade by representative men of both parties for and against..
the present administration, it would be well for the masters
of the situation, the electors, to look the whole BllU8»ll0ll
fairly and squarely in the face, independently Hlwgelller
of the claims made by those who wish to retain or to
regain control of the Government. No d0l1b\ the 619°'-0"
are doing this, and that, independently of all claims. they
know exactly what they are going to do about it. The electors'
in this province, taken all ill all, are as intelligent and
far-seeing us those of any country in the world. They are
not gullible and are not likely w be stamlisded into hasty
action by any gold brick devices or flowery futures held
up by aspiring oflice seekers. They know the past and
the present by actual experience and they will use the lamp
of experience in laying out their future course.
Two parties are seeking the suffrage of the electors.
Each has a record. \Vbat each has done in the past it
is likely to do in the future. The record of the past four
years is still suiiieiehtly fresh to he remembered la detail-
The leaders of the party are still before the people. What
they promised to do, if elected, is so well remembered that
any pre-election promises broken could be held up at a
lnoment’s notice as a warning to the people not to trust
them again. On follr different occa§i0llS they h8V€ Sal in
annual parliament and on each occasion their pre~election
promises and their yearly stewardship were publicly re-
viewed in the presence of their political opponents and
publislled broadcast before the people. These animal
reviews are remarkable for this: That neither the ad-
lllillistratioll as a whole, the Premier, nor any of his
fellow-members were charged with having broken a single
promise made to the people either before or since the
election. Premier Mathieson has prided himself on the
fact that he never made a definite promise nor permitted
one to be made on his behalf that was not reasonably
certaill of fulfilment, and at each of the four sessions held
during his administration this record has been held up
as a challenge that was never disputed.
What was done under Premier Matliieson's administra-
tion ill the development of agriculture, in looking after
our public works. in improving our school system, in pro-
viding cheaper school books, in getting the people together
tllrougllout the province, in improving our telegraph and
telephone service, in securing our rights from the federal
government, and ill the many other ways in which the
gloom and discouragenlent of twenty years of Liberal mal-
adniinistratlon had been converted into optimism and hope-
fulness, all thesc things are fresh in the nlinds of our
people. Revenue and expenditure. which had never met
for fifteen years became acquainted witll each other to
the advantage of the former and for the first time in all
these years there were surpluses to our credit without
having had to increase taxation. Expenditure was neces-
sarily increased, as expenditure must be increased in every
growing, progressive business; as it has been increased
yearly in all our mercantile and industrial undertakings.
Tllat sucll expenditures were not excessive, that they were
within the bounds of economy and prudellce we have the
word of the Leader of the Opposition wllo, when challenged
on the floor of thc House, admitted that he could not place
his finger oil a single dollar of expenditure tllat could have
been avoided in the interests of the province.
T'hc Liberal party also has a record, a long one alid
a sad one. For twenty years it kept itself in power by
promises of “ doing better next time," of securing the
rights of the province fronl the dominion, of making
revenue and expenditure meet "next year." Every “next
year" saw only a repetition of the past year's bungling;
lim revenue of the province was squandered -_in Datching
ilp the grievances of dlscontented followers, public works
were neglected; the schools became ii disgrace and the
_vcarly debt of the province increased until bankruptcy
stared us in the face alld the long suffering people, dig.
gusted and not to he again gulled, tumed ollt 'the wllolc
party, leaving only the Leader and one lone follower,
This party is also seeking election. lt has at public
meetings denounccd the “extravagance” of the govern.
ment because its yearly expenditures have been in excess
of those of the bankrupt regime of former years. It has
no leader and there is none in sight; it has no policy*
except to abuse aild denounce the Mathieson administra-
tion; lt has no plans for the future except rage; into
power.
The D€0i>l0 will in all probability be asked shortly to
choose between these two parties, what are they likely
to do? We have already referred to the intelligence of
the people, and in that lies the doom of the Liberal
aspirants.
No doubt meetings will be held during ths campaign
The one question that the people will demand a definite
answer to ls, What would the Liberal party do if ihtrusted
with the government that they. did not do before, that the
present government has not done? The peopie will
vote blindly. They will want something definite Wzgi
do the Liberals propose? '
Two i>ol.lrlc°Ai. Misrllolis

A cleaning up was bssuii olsvioiis to lm. Ministers
afforded facilities for the investigation, of the`McGreevy
and other scandals and the offenders had to psy the penal-
ties meted out by Parliament and public opinion. As a
result prominent men disappeared from public life, never
to return. .
There followed fifteen years of Liberal rule. lllldef
which it was impossible to get charges of wrongdoing
investigated. Time and again, from 1900 onward, the
Opposition presented to Parliament the cleareilt evidence
against members of the House, members of the Cabinet
and their political co-workers 'outside of Parliament. But
always Sir Wilfrid Laurier used his majority in the House '
of Commons to burk enquiry and refuse adequate or proper
investigation. '
The party machine stood between the malefactors and
the country. It was impossible to secure an inquiry of
any kind, and as a natural consequence corruption was
rampant and men became millionaires in g season. In
the absence of light and surgical action the sores festered.
Public resources and the' national treasury were exploited
as never before. Public opinion was dulled and somnolent
because uninformed by investigations that should have
been forced.
y With the accessiomof another Conservative Govern-
ment, in 1911, it again became possible to pursue the
wrongdoers. Again, as prior to 1896, Ministers disdain
_tomobilise their Parliamentary majority to shelter ras-
calities. ‘As sooir as it appeared that graft had occurred
in the hurrygof getting the First Contingent tothe front,
the Prime Minister made the path clear for the fullest
investigation, --A powerful maiorlty in the House of
Commons was no't‘emp`loyed to burk inquiry. No obstacle
was placed in the way of the Opposition investigators,
Instead of defending the rascals, the Government helped
toprobe their doings. Instead of following the approved
practice of the previous Government and delaying the
inquiry before the Public Accounts Committee to the next
session of Parliament, Ministers waived all technicalltics
and assisted in showing up the wrongdoers. When it
became evident that two of his followers in the House
were involved, the Prime Minister publicly condemned
theni in the presence of their fellow-members and before
the country. In addition Sir Robert Borden has got a
second investigation under way befoi-lei a Royal Com.
mission with a view to punishing the offenders and secur.
ing a refund of such money improperly obtained as has not
already been retrieved. The inevitable conclusion is that
while grafting and rascality have obtained more oi- ie"
under the rule of both parties, it is under Conservative
governments that nialefactors are hunted down in and
outside the party and courageously punished. And surely
it is only the duty of Ministers, as servants of the people,
to protect the people’s interests.
PATRIOT WRON(i AGAIN
Yesterday's Patriot, under the caption “ Mr Hughes and
the Guardian," gives an exhibition of riglltcous indignation
over the fact that in publishing a letter from Mr Hughes
in the Guardian we had " emasculated at least half of lt.”
As usual our erratic contemporary is wrolig. We “emiss-
culated ” the whole of it by simply cutting out the vitupera-
tive aild fishwife language which made it characteristically
Hughes-like, but which in no way disguised or disfigured
the twists. lf points they might be called, which Mi- Hughes
had endeavoured to make and which we answered to the
satisfaction of all right-thinking men in the same issue. l
Mr Hughes’ letter in its un-“emascula,ted" form is pub-
lished ill yesterday‘s Patriot, the portions “en'iasculated”
by the Guardian being printed in screaming capitals. Those
taking the trouble to read and compare it with the' ex- i'
purgated version in yesterday‘s Guardian will see that wc
deleted no argument or statement made by Mr Hughes.
As already stated, we doletedtlle fishwifo and irrelevant -
language, and had the Patriot done likewise it would have
dolle Mr Hughes a greater kindness than it did in publisll-
ing the whole dirty diatribe. We have no intention of
following Mr Hughes into the gutter or of lending him or ~
anyone else oilr columns for a mud-throwing campaign. 1'
When he has any argument to offer, any definite statemcntf'
to make we sllall gladly publish it, but without Hughcsisms.
NOTES
It is strange how many cranks happen to bo Germans.
'l`lle man wllo shot Mr J. P. Morgan knew that hc was
striking at an cfiicient friend of the Allies, however.
During the whole war no hostile government has
approached Germany. directly or lildiroctly, with peace
proffers.-Norddeutschc Allgemeine Zeitung. Of courso
not. All the talk of pcaco tllcre has been has como from
German sources,- That heard at Washington emanates
from no less a personage than Count Von Bernstorff. The
pronouncement of the social democratic leaders at Berlin
published in Vorwaerts must have the quasi-approval of
the German. government-or it could not have been pub-
lished. Nofsuggestions of peace at this time have come
from the Allied governments or from anybody wllo is not.
consciously or unconsciously. "playing Germany's game."
A pro-Kaiser-peace would be at best only all armed truce-
as the Kaiser himself so aptly put it in a letter to one of
the lllgli personages of the Bavarian court, a. peace that
.would serve " as ‘preparation for the futurc"! No intelli-
gent friend of humanity wants any such pro-Kaiser peace.
