RAILWAY PROBLEMS Z310 recent visit of Sir Henry I _ lhorntnn to Charlottetown was very Prfincrly made tile occasion of an ex- i pmsaion of appreciation of the atti/ tude of the C. N. R. plosident with‘ .‘ recpect to the railway hotel proposi-l m‘ for this city. l-Iis announce-i meat that a hotel site had been se- i ; , looted, that work would begin as soon 1 " ea the property was acquired, and[ that tenders would shortly be cailedi _ fofthe construction of the new car‘ ferry, was gratifying to every oncl present, and this gratification found} expression in the addresses of wel-. come tendered Sir Henry on that oc-i casion. It would be misleading, how- 1 ever, to read into any of the state-; mcnts made by local speakers, or by‘ Sir Henry himself, that all the trans- i portation problems of this Province‘ have been satisfactorily adjusted. Sir? Henry ll not say, as he is credited with saying by the Halifax Chron-g icle in an editorial which has been: . reproduced in the local Liberal pre5s,j I_ _' ‘ that “his present visit to Prince Ed-i ward'_l.sland was one of the most: unique trips he had ever taken in‘ Canada, because cn all sides he; found satisfaction with the railways‘ operations." I-Ie said: “This ls onej of the most unique trips that I have ever undertaken since I have been‘ in Canada," etc.,—-the reference ob-z viougly being a general one to his? tour of the Atlantic Region, and not lpecincally’ to Prince Edward Island. It would be unfortunate if Sir- agnry assumed that there is nothing but aatisfaction over all the railway undggtgkingg minis Province. It will be recalled that at the last ses- sion of the Legislature a strong reso- lution was presented emphasizing the importance of such districts as Port = Augustus, Johnston's River. Webster's Corner and Glenfinnan which have aulfered great disadvan- tagu through lack of railway facil- n l. branch line between Mt. Herbert the Murray Harbor line and 731th croasing on the Georgetown "mom, in lieu of the proposed 11M _ from Lake lferde to Pisquid. and ask- ing for definite assurance from the l . .;:_. Federal Government that the Hills- ...f..‘. bcro Bridge would be rebuilt at the earliest possible date to accommo- ‘Er-w‘: cm standard freight. traffic. 533E: ‘This resolution requesting railway :7: accommodation for a larfle 56cm" °t the Province now without primer 18-’ cilities, was defeated in the Legis- tiz‘ lgturo pp a straight party vote. I though many of the Liberal members were admittedly favorable to the proposition.

Sir Henry very frankly aclmitte the rights of ‘Prince Edward Island ' la i. Province to every considera- timi an the part of the Canadian Fatima! Railways.

This idea of a <.__m“~t“‘1 unliirbtandldkbetween the . iliiiiilitlt. communication with . ID9- - , ‘Canadian National Railways and the paqpla of Canada for whose service the railway exists, was the keynote of 8i: Henry's apeech in Charlotte- . town. The full tzxt of that speech is E more uic people of this Province. and there is no necessity for the “reproduction of garbled versions ‘which are obvioimly penned with an '_ aye to political Ililflwill- TII KIW IIANCIIISI ini- ‘an u» .4... union the francbil! itiea, recommending the adoption of ' i atlon for fighting the earwig pest I featured a recent session of Seattle's Insect Bureau. One of the members ments for voting will be altered mu- terially in some regards, says the writer of "A Fact a Day About Canada“ in the Ottawa Journal. Hitherto inmates of institutions which received provincial aid, were disqualified. Hereafter these inmates will be free to vote, if they are able. and the politicians will hereafter have a new outlet for their spelling abilities. Heretofore the qualification of an elector was that he or she had to rc- sidc in Canada for one year prior in election and be in the electoral dis- trict two months previous to the is- sue of the writ. From now on a per- son in order to vote will only have re- quired of him or her, the year's resi- deriEe in Canada. and b0 have been in the district where he or she wish- es to vote, from the date of issue of the writ. Another important change con- cerns ministers, priests, school teach- ers and students. Hereafter priests, ministers and teachers who have been transferred from one urban post to another just previous to an election may vote in their new location if they have been there approximately 33 days previous to the closing of the list. Hitherto practically four ‘months residence! has been required. In the case of rural elections. priests and ministers may hereafter vote if they have arrived in the pcl- llng sub-division, for permanent rc- sidenoe, even up to the actual day of polling. With clergymen. in a rural municipality, it will be a. case of no questions being asked. The cloth will carry e. vote. Things will in future be made eas- ier for students to vote as it will only be required that in order to vote at their piece of study, they shall have been in residence there for seven months of the l2 months previous to the issue of the writ. EMPIRE PRAYER. People of all creeds and races throughout the British Empire voic- ed in spirit if not in words, the fol- lowing passage from the prayer of thanksgiving read as part of the of- flcial order of service atwestmirls- tzer Abbey yesterday: "We thank Thee that Thou hast. given our King the Joy and com- fort of knowing that he possesses the hearts of his people; Ind We pray that the remembrance of hirn in thought and prayer made by folk of many races and in many lands may give the promise of a time when all the pe0ple of the world shall share their joys and sorrows as members of one family in Thee, who art the Father of all."

A Airplanes are built in many coun- tries, but only to a limited extent in Canada. Lest year about 5,000 of them were built~ in the United States, valued at $15,000,000. They I were monoplanes and biplanes in the proportion of one of the former to two of the latter. The amphibious planes for lending on water or land. inumbered I14, and the exclusively iceaplancs I8. - Most of the planes in use in Can- ada are owned by the Government and employed in the mail service, or supplied to private clubs in cities {throughout the land, otherwise pri- vate ownership in Canada is atill rare. The time is yet in the distance when the average citizen who now owns his automobile will also own an airplane. But private ownership of air vehicles is steadily growing. Is it safe to fly? ‘There is no ans- wer to that question. It depends en- tirely on how. and in whet you fly. With a plane not approved by the Iauthoritiee, or with an unskilful .pilot, in hazardous weather, the chances are not good. ‘There are ihuny possibilities of a crash. With a safe plane and pilot and good weather the chances of trouble are ‘V. said to be no greater than when you {take a Sunday motor-car drive. But the interested life insurance com- paniesusually add $25 per thousand to the premiums of their patrons who become air pilots and are en- gaged in flying daily. The first cost of a good airplane covers a pretty wide range from $600 to $85,000 varying according to its size. speed and carrying capacity. The cost of a giant plane above spoken of is that of a plane of 1,500 horse power, carrying 20 ppgperp gel-s at a speed of I45 miles par hour. In the air-mail service on both sides of the boundary the fatalities have been small comparatively, but in the entire flying activities of the two countries last year 384 persons were killed and 'l00 injured in the States and in Canada the 15 Light Plane Air Clubs subsidized by the Government and having 2,405 mem- bers, made a total record of 25,557 flights, flying 812,000 miles. Much of this was student flying, far more dangerous than the flying of quali- fied pilots, yet the total number kill- ed was three. This does not include the entire number killed in flying accidents in Canada. last year, the figures of some casualties other than those of the Air Cluba not being available. Do Lloyd George and the Liberals hold the balance of power in Eng- lend? If so, there is much in the way of personal antagonism to keep the Welsh and the Labour leaders apart. Like Lloyd George, Ramsay Macdonald was formerly a Liberal. In August 1914 Macdonald was offer- ed the scat in the Asquith Liberal Cabinet. He did not accept and he was denounced by Lloyd George and oth- er Liberals as a pro-German, just as George had been branded as a pm- ‘Boer at the time of the Bouth Afri- imd that iti "SP9!" m0" ma" 351399-990 h} the 1 can war. It does not sweeten the relations between these tivolenders of parties that Ramsay Macdonsld has made up his Cabinet largely of former Liberals. And it is not forgotten that ‘ the way it works." The Toronto Llb- ' Ram“, M u ‘Id u "m, mm ister stood firm as a rock for the British Empire; and during the crisis in China nearly three years ago, his view was that had Labor been in power his Government/would have had to send troops, as the Con- servative Government did, in order to defend British llvea and property. Illa present term of power may not be long, but there are many who hope that it may be long enough, to develop cordial relations between Great Britain and the United states. and even with Russia on a foir doc stable basis in the Intel-cafe of world peace.

Ml). THE MEAT DIET I have spoken before about two strong men one of them ate meat three times a day, and the other had not eaten- meat in two years. The both worked hard; the meat eater in a foundry and the non meat eater in a bakery. The non meat eater ate eggs daily instead of meat. ' I wrote also about stcffanson the explorer who lived on meat only for years in the Artic regions, and sew no cancer; also of McGarison who lived in a portion of India where no meat was eaten and likewise saw no cancer. ' - You naturally wonder therefore about the eating of meat and whether or not it is a safe food for those of us who live in e, temperate climate where it is neither very hot or very cold, Drs Leif. and Tolstcl re- port en experiment of the effects of a diet composed of meat only. on two healthy explorers who had spent many years in the Artic Circle, and while there had liv- ed for the greater part of the time on practicallylm pecent meat and fat diet. They were first given a thorough ex- amination, and found to be in ex- cellent physical condition. Examinations were then made of the chemical contents of tho blood. Both men ate nothing but meat cooked or raw. Two experienced diet ltians prepared and served the meat. Both men were up and about and took their exercise in walking. The experiments were continued for ll months, and were done in duplis. What was the result? They felt no ill effect, maintained their weight, and were in excellent health. and no evidence of any kid- ney disturbance could be found. Now does this mean that everybody should out meat or that it would be safe for everybody to eat only meat. No. These were ‘two healthy men whose systems were used to such a diet and who walked every day in the open air. It does mean however that if you are a heglthy individual and live an outdoor life with plenty of exer- cise that you can eat meat in safety. It is an ideal builder.

Two Bases of 1ntra—Empire TTCdQ r ‘m. sT; mil All of Canadals Federal leaders, Conservative, Liberal and Progressive a recent dispatch from Ontario an- nounces, are in favor of mrther ex- tension of thcBritlsh preference, and of seeking new markets within the Empire to replace those which Can- ada is certain to lose in the United States, when the l-Iewley tariff goes into effect. And it is in this seeming unity of policy that the Toronto Globe seeks sanction for its proposal that the leaders of all parties unite in '_‘a national gesture" which will be an answer to the new tariff measures of the United States. The trouble! is that no such unity exists. Mr. hen- net's conception of the irue basis of intro-Empire trade differs as widely from that of the Liberal and Progres- sive leadcrs, as sir Robert Borden's policy differed from Sir Wilfred Laur- ier‘s when the ill-starred reciprocity pact was before the country in i911. In. a word, the Conservative leader places Canada's industrial arid com- mercial interests in the forefront of his whole fiscal programme. His firs‘. aim is to give this Dominion an ad- equately protective tariff, which will afford Canadian producers a. definite and sufficient advaniage in their homo market against outside com- petitors. He has made it clear in ev- ago re the dlssins and canturlncvi ’ NORTH WILTSHIBE‘ , icanadlan maket. It would give the '5 in the valley of It is also inscribed in certain among their good deeds, th humane institution—modcr to policyholders. will be to have Canada trade with those countries which prefer to! trade with us. Hon. Mr. Malcolm» has i laid the same thing, adding that? trading in this connection does not mean buying merely, but‘ both buying and selling. The Toronto Globe has interpreted Mr. Hobbs declaration info a proposal, not to raise the Can- adian traif! as against any country but to lower it,-—if not indeed to ab- olish it ‘completely-es against ctrfer British Countries. We are now buy- iyng about $900,000,000 worth of goods annually from the United suitor and pro selling approximately $500,000, 000 worth to that country by way of exchange. This discrepancy, which promise: to bc still further increased against Canada by the l-iawley tariff. is pointed out by the Globe as a reas- on why, by the reduction of our tar- iff, we should transfer our patronage . u buyers from the United States to' Empire countries. _ fifhc vital weakness and fatal fal- lacy of Mr. Robbs theory, as explain- ed and endorsed by the Globe, is that itrfaiis entirely to realize that Canadian p-oduccrs should be given the first and strongest claim on the overseas Dominions and Great Brit- cry speech he has delivered that he will sanction no trade agreement. even with any other British Count- ry, that will subject Canadian labohi whether o1 factory, farm, forest, mine i or fishery to undue competition in the home market. These conditions! being met and these safeguards ca-i tablished, Mr. Bonnet would factor- intra-Enlpire commerce, through the agency of- mutual tariff conces- siolis between the British Common- wealth of Nations. Basic Difference in Pclitlcg 1 ~ The Liberal-Progressive idea of iin- trl-Empire trade differa basically from that of the Conservative lead- er. The Progressives would have" 1b- aolute free trade within the Empire. The Liberals, u repreaenfetfby such ‘ as Hon. Mr. Robb, _ and by such newspapers as the Tiorofnw Globe and. Manitoba nee from, would have a low general tariff in Canada, subject to heavy reduction ea against the Sister Dominion! and Great Britain. n u worth while au- alyling thcaq rivalthecries oi intru- nmpiro mac carefully. ujrcipccu» their basic, their eodnomitrptcfikfl, their aims, and their probable rplulfa if put into practical operitiofh; ' non. mt. robs nu aaid with ob‘- viouc reference to the impending I-Iawley legislation at Wllhinlim. that the xina Ministry's future pdiiicy mo: Anni tranamiaaiorn of a durum of voices simultaneously over. a cala- gnpb line.
