THE CITY CANDIDATES
With tho nomination last night of Dr. S. R. Jenkins
and Mr. James Paton as the Liberal-Conservative can-
didates for Charlottetown and Royalty, the list of can-
didates forthe ensuing Provincial election is complete-
There will be a contest in every constituency. ii10\lSll ill
many of them it will be but a half-hearted aitair. There
is no burning question before tho electorate, the 01111051'
tion has no leader, no ll0li'~'y. H0 Dl`0Sl`“mm°» and me fight
has therefore resolved itself into it qpestion of men rather
than measures. »
In the city how do we stand in this respect? The Grits
have put forward two young slid 0I10I`l-ZOUU Candidates- bmh
of whom have their spurs to win in politics. Mr. E. T.
Higgs has taken a prominent part in comnierclal affairs
and has occupied the position of president of both the
Charlottetown Board of Trade and of the Maritime Board
of Trade Association with credit both to himself and tho
Province. Mr. C. Gavin Duffy, his running mate, is it
rising yound lawyer, who has not hitherto taken much part
in public affairs, and it shows considerable pluck on his
part to tackle the constituency of Charlottetown in his
second bid for political honours. These two "rising hopes"
are pitted against such tried and proved public stalwarts
as Di'. S. It. Jenkins and Mr. James Paton. both of Whom
have a large and successful record of public work behind
thcni. Dr. Jenkins has been the pioneer oi' public health
reform in the Province and was chiefly instrumental in
getting the Government to take action in the matter of
tubcrcular patients which resulted in Mr. Dalton's munifi-
ccnt offer oi’ a Provincial Sanitarium. Dr. Jenkins has
been prominent in all movements which have had for their
object thc advancement of the Province, and especially
of thc City of Charlottetown. Mr. James Paton has long
held a foremost position among our public-spirited citizens.
llc has been a leader of men, tried and trusted, for many
years. and has been, long and honourably associated with
civic affairs, being an ex-Mayor. In an editorial comment
on Mr. Paton’s election as Mayor, The Patriot, among
other nice things. said this about thc Liberal-Conservative
candidate of today: “lt is not too much to say that Mr.
Paton has been an alert and singularly successful business
man, ranking with the mercantile princes of Prince Ed-
ward Island. While devoting the greater portion of his
time to business, Mi'. Paton has not been unniindful of his
duty to his fellow-citizeiis and to the city in which he
carries on his business * * * We therefore heartily con-
gratulate Mr. Patonviind feel that he will bring to this
oilice that dignity, ability and patriotism which should
characterize such a position.”
All ths is as true to-day as when it was first written.
In addition Dr. Jenkins and Mr. Paton support a Govern-
incnt with zi record of things accomplished second to none
in the history of tlic.»1’rovlncc. 'l‘he Opposition candidates
have no policy, and the most they promise to do is to
support Premier Mathieson in thc measures ho may bring
forward for the good of the Province. The Government
candidates may be more readily depended upon to do that
than any candidate who seeks admission to the Opposition
benches.
DOOMED TO OFFICE
Judging by the rousing enthusiasm of the crowded
incctlng in the Board of Trade Rooms last evening the
Mathieson Government is doomed to hold office for just as
long as thc Matliicson Government chooses to offer lisoli'
for election. 'There was no mistaking the candid opinions
of thc large an representative gathering. The Mathieson
Government is the best, most business-liko, most progress-
sive administration the Province ever enjoyed. There was
not a word of adverse criticism offered. Everyone was
jubilant over tho magnificent rocord of the past mid thi-
prospocts for the future under thc Mathloson regime, Mr.
Paton neatly turned the tables on Mr. E. T. Higgs with
regard to his opinion of thc state of prosperity of the
Provinr-c, Mr. lliggs had stated tllai the l’rovlucc was a
itillfi i|0\\/itll! with milk and honey. To whom, asked Mr.
Paton. was due thc credit for sucli s. happy stain nf affairs?
Was it the Grit party? Whatever did the Grits do
to brim: optimism and contentment to thc land? They
ran tho Government to bankruptcy, and vi/'imp thoy jam
flown the reins of ofllcc, it was because they had reached
the end of their resources and had oxhaustcil the patience
and tolerance of tho people. Tho Mathiogon Government
siiccccdeil to a legacy of gloom, despondcncy and--a doht
of one million and seventy-two thousands of dollars. ln
little more than three hrlof years, Premier Mathleson and
his Government have succeeded ln completely changing the
face oi' affairs, and now instead of despondoncy, donclig
and despair, we have optimism, surplusses, and unbounded
hope. ln a sentence we have, as admitted by Mr. Higgs,
a land flowing with milk and honey, whore every progpmt
p"’“9°“' and "lily tl few dist-rruntled Grits and cnvlous
oilico-seekers are vllely ungrateful.

tions of unbounded enthusiasm ln support of the Govern-
mont and the prosp_ects are that there will he oven B
creator sweep in suimori of Mr. Miithiomn and his coi-
leaizuos than there was at the last election. The country
appreciates good, honest, stralglitforward government run
with ii. view to efficiency and economy, and we have got if
for the iii-si. time since (Yonfgdm-ation t th h

_Erin-: nrioiir or MEANNI-:ss
Probably never in the history of the political iifo of
any country has there been such contemptible meanness
exhibited as that shown by a certain section of Grits ln
the First District of Prince. The Hon. Charles Dalton.
the Government candidate, him not only represented the
district satisfactorily and well, but as a member of the
Government has devoted much valuable time and attention
io the furtherance of the public health of the Province.
In this connection Mr. Dalton has presented A Sanltarlum
and probably will entail another $4,000, or $5,000 before
A I
Qcompletion. It is 'expected-that this ,magnificent gift will
bg ‘_|-émry for .formal opening and handing over to the
people of this province for all time within the next six
weeks or two months. Never has such generosity been ex-
pei-longed by the people of this Province; never sympathy
more adequately expressed lor the suffering in our midst
than by this philanthropic and beneflcent gift.
Yet it is thepublie services of this generous donor
which a, few mean. eontemptlble Grits challenge in the
First District of Prince. And who is the standard-bearer
of these small-minded, ungrateful Grits? '
Mr. Benjamin Rogers, s. man who has taken more from
the public treasury in the way of salary than any other
man living in the Province.
Mr. Benjamin Rogers, at man who stepped from Govern-
ment House into the active arena of party politics.
Mr. Benjamin Rogers, who in his long public career
has nothing to his credit, except what he has attained
through the gubernatorial office.
Mr. Benjamin Rogers, who has so little regard for the
fitness of things. that after attaining the highest ,public
ofllce his King and Country can confer upon him, steps
<l1l'0Ct|Y down from that high and dignified office, to iight
on the hustlngs for some other petty office, and to oppose
a man who has given as much to his country as he (Mr.
Rogers) has taken from it, `
The action of Mr. Rogers does not meet with the
approval of right-thinking Liberals. If the Liberals of tho
First Dmtrict had really desired to contest Mr. Dnlton’s
seat. and this is generally denied, the opportunity was
not for one who has already sucked the fruits of office
dry~and still greedily thirsts for more.

WHY WE SHOULD RECRUIT
We are in receipt of a recruiting sermon preached in
St. Andrew’s Church, Ottawa, recently by the Reverend
W. T. I-lerridge. M. A., D. D., from the text “He that hath
no sword, lot lilm sell his garment and buy oue.” The ser-
mon was published by request of the ,Minister of Militia
and Defence. The following extract, which will give an
idea of the tenor and excellence of the whole sermon, is
especially applicable at the present time:
The critics of the British Navy should be reminded of
the fact that, but for its existence. our home waters long
ago, would have been menaced by hostile battleships, and
our seapoi-.is subjected to fierce bombardment. When we
think of the suffering of brave little Belgium, and read the
gruesome tales of pillage and rapine, we have reason to
thank God that the worst horrors of war have not visited
us at all.
Yet this fortunate escape may, perhaps, make us more
slow to recognize that this is our war; and even though
we do not hear the actual clash of arms, the issue oi' it
must needs be of far-reaching consequence to every one
of us. We have given some proof of the belief that our
privilcges as British subjects cannot be separated from
grave responsibilities, and thousands of Canadians are now
across the sea, or making ready to go. But I fear that
many of our youth have not yet seriously considered the
qucs,t_ii_ip__wl_ie_t_he_r they cannot do something, directly or
indirectly, to strengthen our national resources in this
epoch-making hour. Why should we not have at least
it quarter of a million men in training for such emergen-
cies as tho future may unfold, not all of them necessarily
in the firing line, but fitted to serve in some useful way
wherever duty calls them? We should then have barely
done, in proportion, what the Motherland has dono al-
ready. And in view of the splendid valour which will
make Ypres, St, Julien and Langemarck immortal names
in our history, I nm persuaded that, apart from the martial
rc-enforcement which would thus be brought to our cause,
such an awakening of Canadian manhood, such an im-
pressive object-lesson in the unity of the British Empire
would be bound to have its effect in shortening thc dura-
tion of the war. - '
lf we hope for a pence that shall endure, and that shall
usher in the dawn of aiiewcr and brighter day, we must not
shrink from thc sacrifice which the stern needs of the
time demand from us. No llfo, surely, can bo just the
same during this war as it was before it. We are forced
to postpone mcrc personal concerns in the face of public
duty, and toylift our eyes to the wider horizons which no\v,
tlninder-rivcn, are presented to our view. It is sad, no
doubt. to see our sons Holm-2 across the sea, and to know
that, in all likelihood, some will not return. But it would
be far sadder to risk the loss, or cvcii the transient in-
terruption of the blessings which we have come to regard
as our inalienable birthright; it would be far sadder lf,
one by one. the lights of liberty wont out around the
world.

NOTES
_ W .,_ __ __., ,
The London Daily Chronicle says: Sir Robert Borden`s
presence at the Cabinet meeting can have few, if any. pre-
cedents in modern times. The Canadian Premier was there
as irprivileged spectator and partieipator in the proceed-
ings. It is true that the present Cabinet is itself an abnor-
mal body; it ls composed of leaders of different parties.
and is more a War (Zomniittce than a Cabinet ln l_hc
usual sense. gcvertlielcss. the preccdciit crcaicd by Sir
Robert Borden's participation ls one which deserves alteri-
tiou, especially in its imperial bearings. and it may not bo
without consequences ultimately.
