PRINCE CUUNTY HOSPITAL
The annual report of the Prince County Hospital. just
issued, is a. document of more than ordinary importance.
showing as it does the growth of one of our youngest
institutions. For many years the need of a hospital in the
western capital was recognised by the few, scouted by the
niaii_v and by practically all regarded as financially im-
possible. Through the generosity of one of Surnmerside's
citizens. Mr Thomas E. Ramsay, the financial difficulty was
partly removed by the donation of a. site and a building
which at a measurable expense could be fitted up as a
firstclass hospital, large enough, it was considered, to
supply the needs of the county. By means of generous
contributions from citizens and from people throughout
the county the building was fitted up and converted into
a modest. modern hospital with many of the conveniences
known to larger institutions. Patients were admitted,
,lives were saved, the fame of the hospital spread and
what had only a short time previously been regarded as
unnecessary as well as impossible became an indispens-
able necessity, not large enough to meet the demand.
At the annual meeting held the other day steps were taken
to build an additional wing, which will cost $3,000. This
lwithin the short space of a little more than two years!
The Hospital buildings and land are valued at $14,000;
ithe furniture, $1,809; surgical instruments, $1,000. “At
,the close of the financial year in May." says the report
;of the President, “the unpaid liabilities exceeded $3,000,
,and your trustees decided to make a special appeal for
'$3,000. so as to pay off the indebtedness and have a balance
.available for future necessities." This appcal, it is grati~
lfying to find. resulted in contributions sufficient to pay
ion" au the iiaiiiiiiies.
’ 'l`iie hospital has accommodation for only eighteen
.patit-nts, but as many as twenty-two patients were being
cared for at one time, necessitating the procuring of
accominodation outside for the nurses. To meet this
‘growing demand for accommodation. the building of the
new wing above referred to was undertaken.
The number of cases admitted from June 1, 1914, to
,Var si. 1915. was aint. of wineii 92 were medical. 197
surgical and 14 obstetrical. Of these 19 were admitted
*free 0l`<'l1i1l'8e. 13 by paying part of cost and the remainder
paying actual cost.
* lit-sides being a charitable institution. when charity is
necessary, it is undenominational and is supported by all
religious, denominations. Of the 303 patients treated dur-
lllg ll1f'.\'€'ar 113 were Roman Vatholics, three “ no rellgion,"
and the remainder belonging to the dingrgnt Protesgam
denominations.
As is usual in all worthy institutions, much of the
success that has attended the Prince County Hospital
is due to the efforts of the ladies. There is a Ladies’ Aid.
and the President in his report makes special mention
,of the "untiring work anti financial assistance given to
lille Trustees" by that organisation.
Prince t"ounty is to be congratulated on its splendid
llUSDllHl and on the self-sacrificing efforts of those ladies
“Nil gentlemen who have overcome what not so long ago
appeared to be insuperable difficulties and have provided
lllf‘ll` <`0UY1!!»' town with a hospital that has become a
distinct credit as well as an indispensable necessity.

C0-OPERATI AIRYING
The series of successful meetings in connection with
cooperative dairying concluded at Dunstaffnage on Sat-
urday shows a renewed and vigorous interest in scientific
dairying. From 1909 till 1912 interest in the subject flag-
ged, and dairying associations led it precarious existence.
Now all that i_=i changed, and Mr. George li. Barr, (‘hief of
the Dairy Division, Ottawa, and l\lr. Harvey Mitchell,
Supervisor for the i\iariimc Provinces, are in the happy
position of being able to report phenomenal progress. This
is especially evident in the demand for cow-testing, upon
which so much of the success of dairy farming depends.
Mr. Mitchell has now no need to urge farmers to have
their cows tested, the demand is general on the part of all
progressive districts. A few years ago Mr. Mitchell never
received a voluntary application for testing, now applica-
tions flow in from all quarters. As zt result many farmers
‘ have doubled the returns per cow from the creamery in a
few years. The instructive. practical addresses delivered
at these <lairymen’s picnics are bound to have it beneficial
effect on intensive farming in the province. There is no
reason in the world. now that the car ferry is all but ati
accomplished fact, why this Province should not become
a secthid Denmark.
ELECTION PREPARATIONS
Saturday‘s Patriot gravely informs us that the "political
signals are multiplying" and makes the poetical deduc-
tion thaf. "the provincial elections will be called before the
leaves are autumn tinted." On tliestrength of this pre-
diction it warns the Liberals not to be “caught napping"
and to place their men in'tlte field as quickly as possible.
iilaving thus delivered itself of the prediction and the
warning it gives an excellent demonstration of the truth
of the old saw "the less ope has to say the oftener he says
it." "The contest this time will be on an equal footing,
not a one-sided contest like that of 1912," it purs. “Then
the Liberals, after n record of twenty years, had many
things to contend with that will not face them on this
occasion."
So? In 1912 the Liberals had to face their previous re-
cord and that was what knocked them out. They are the
same bunch still, and the record they built up in twenty
years still stands to be faced, for it was too big a thing to
he forgotten in the short space of three and a half years.
The electors who pronounced them incapable, incompetent
*and unworthy of conhdence then are the electors whom
they shall he obliged to meet at the next election. whether
lit come with or without the accompaniment of autumn
leaves.
Will The Patriot point out anything the Liberals have
done during the past three and a half years that will con-
vince the electors that they are not the same, discredited
bunch that was turned out bag and baggage in 1912? Will
‘ The Patriot give one solitary reason why the Liberals
`ll;‘~wolId it, to take a big `
should be expected to succeed now after having mlserahlY
tailed for twenty long years! Have they developed a new
M0593 who might b6 ¢iD6C(€d '.0 lead them? Are U18!
not infinitely worse oi! now than in 1912? Then they had
a leader; today they have not a man in sight who is eve!!
sure ol his election; they have never, either through their
organ, The Patriot, or from the platform given a hint as to
how they propose to remedy the things they have found
fault with in the present Government.
Leadei-less and policyless. with a twenty years r9C0l’d
of mismanagement and incompetence which brings the
blush of shame to the face of every Liberal to whom it is
put up, and without even n pretence of conversion, The
Patriot has the tetnerity, not to say the audacity, to ea--
denvour to persuade its readers that there is a 8l\_0Sl 0! I.
chance for the restoration of the Liberal DUIY- Tl\f2'PB¢'_
riot forgets that the people of Prince Edward Island are
not only intelligent but have memories that will carry
them hack over three and a. half years and beyond, into
the region of perpetual deficits and mismanagement.
Autumn will assuredly tint the leaves asain. b9f0f€ 01'
after the provincial elections. but even the crimson glory
of a Prince Edward Island autumn is mild and colourless
in comparison with the variegated tinta, from political im-
hecility to actual guilt that stain the twenty years record
of the party in whose interests the esteemed Patriot is
whistling to keep its courage up.
-l_-i- 
THE MANITOBA DEALS
The Liberals are cutting a sorry figure in the Manitoba
deal. Ex~Attorney General Howden of the Roblin Govern-
ment in his evidence before the Fullerton Commission
detailed how he gave $25,000 to William Chambers, a
Liberal politician representing the Norris Govemment,
with the promise that “ you fellows will get the other
825.000 if you are good." Something subsequently went
wrong in the plans, and the new Attorney General com-
plained that the agreement was not being fulfilled to the
letter. lfltimately-and since the inquiry opened-the
$25,000 was retumed to Howden and forwarded by him
to France for Red Cross purposes.
Interviewed by a Montreal Star representative, Premier
Norris did not leave a very favourable impression of his
innocence regarding these negotiations. He blustered, pro-
tested. and called liowtlen a liar, and said he would apply
stronger language wt-re he in the habit of using profanity.
But whether or not Mr Norris was personally ignorant of
the $50,000 deal it is quite apparent that the arrangement
between the leaders of the Liberal party and ex-Attorney
General Howden was made, in proof of which we have
the fact that the $25,000 cash “ spot down " was paid over,
and returned only when the Fullerton charges were made
and under investigation. It may have been a “ plant " on
the part of the ex~Attorney General, but that does not
relieve the Liberals from the charge of being susceptible
to bribery and corruption of the very worst description.
MOM;
SPREADING UNTRUTII
in its issue of Saturday The Patriot attempts to justify
thc discredited report tiiat 12,000 new appointments had
been made in the civil service of Canada since the present
Government came into power. We have already shown
that Professor Shortt, the originator of the report-which
he gave at 10,000-subsequently admitted that he had not
taken into account the resignation, deaths. etc., when he
made his statement based on a newspaper report. The
Patriot now submits an alleged analysis of the returns
brought down by the various departments which, it says,
shows a net increase of 12,147. Who is responsible for
this analysis? Mr. J. H. Sinclair, Guysborough, submitted
an analysis which showed 'an increase of 11,045. As we
stated on Saturday, the Government did not accept this
analysis and stated that the increase was 4,000. Subse-
quently Mr. Sinclair asked leave to amend his analysis,
stating that he had made a mistake in the addition of
1,000! What reliance can be placed on an analysis by
people who confem they made mistakes of one thousand
in the matter of simple addition? People will prefer to
take the authoritative statement of the Government as was
done at the time even by Professor Shortt, a dyed in thc
wool grit, who confessed that though Chairman of the
Civil Service Commission he relied on a newspaper report
for his information. The newspaper in question proved
to be no more reliable than The Patriot, and this the
Professor had sorrowfully to admit.

EFFECTIVE ADVERTISING
Mr. T. J. Jones, the Managing Director of the Am-
herst Plano Company Ltd., desires us to state that he
ran an advertising coupon in each of the Charlottetown
daily papers offering a special discount of $15.00.
On the strength of the Guardian advertisement the
Company sold seven pianos, the coupons for which
may be inspected at the (`ompnny’s store. No coupons
were returned from any other paper.
Another gentleman last week advertised in The Guar-‘
dian and other Charlottetown papers. lie received thirteen
replies as the result of The Guardian advertisement
and three from the advertisement in the other papers.
.These are facts which our readers may verify for
themselves. AS n result Mr. Jones has taken n year's
contract for advertising in the Guardian.
The Guardian has an extpnsiva and evenincreas
ing circulation, Saturda_v's actual circulation being,
Morning. 5,888; Evening, 3,438; total, 9,326.
