CITY vs. COUN'l`RY CANDIDATES
Our Contemporary isvery much concerned about the
occupation of the Conservative candidates and tries to
show that there are more business men than farlnorll
among them. lt is a casa of the mote aild the beam. We
have taken the trouble to go over the Liberal list and find
there are only seven bona-fide farmers among the 30 can-
didates. Tlle other 23 are mostly lawyers and professional
men with a sprilikling of five merchants. But the most
curious feature the analysis brought out was that the city
of Charlottetown which can elect only two members has
no fewer than nine Liberal candidates in the field. Four
arc running in King's County, one a newspaper man
against a local representative farmer, a city lawyer against
s-l°°=1l___bl\-slvssll.marl_yill°_has was 1“_lsrssl=-lr\_tl1_s _dis-
trlct, and the former's partner against another local can-
didate in Murray Harbour. A newspaper man from the
city is running against a local merchant in Belfast. A re-
tired merchant in the city is opposed to a local business
man; while in the West River District a Liberal city drug-
gist is attacking the seat of a Rustico farmer.
It will thus be seen the Patriot machine has manipu-
lated matters satisfactorily to its friends, but not in the
interests of the various country districts.
.i_l___0l___i_
WHY DIDN’T THEY?
It is certainly rich to see the Patriot and hear Liberal
orators declare that the Mathieson Government had a
larger revenue than the Grit Government and therefore
had a right to have it surplus, while the Grits, because of
their small revenue had a right to have a deficit-a right
which they unquestionably exercised with painful persis-
tence, year after year, What the people want to know is
why did not the Liberals have a larger revenue? Why did
they not avail themselves oi’ the opportullityaiforded them
at the inter-provincial conference of 1907, when the pro-
vinces were asked to present their special claims for con-
sideration? The Grit delegates, as pointed out by Premier
Mathieson, remained culpably silent and allowed this gold-
en opportunity to slip. Premier Mathiesou did not wait
for an invitation; he asked for the opportunity to present
thc Island’_s claim, was given the opportunity and so well
did he make use of it that he succeeded in securing for
the provincefor all time to come lin annilal subsidy of
$100.000. NOW the Gl'its are crying because they did not
get lf- We lied as much right to it in 1907 as we had when
Premier Matliiesoli got itand had he been Premier then
we would have received it and would have had the use of
it ever since. The trouble was the Grits were incom eten
p t
mill they have done nothing since to show that they have
got over it. _
“LET Till: l>l‘3oPl.l: lull.l;” y
On almost every platform throughout the country the
Grit caiidillates or their supporters have denounced the
Governmenton the automobile question. But in Char-
lottetown the Grit candidates had not one word to say on
the subject. It is a policy of running with the hare and
want to he in with both parties. They would like the
votes of the automobllists in the city and the ahtlhulolslg
1" the 001lllll`Y. The chances are they will get neither. The
G°V@l`"m9l1l'S D0liCy is clear and above board. It has
given the power to the people of every district to say
whether or not they shall have autos, and no permission
will bc given unless seventy-five per cent. of the people

what change it rer or more democratic than this.
, any, do the Grits propose?
THE PRACTICAL vg. THE VISIONARY
Probably there never has been a more bitterly con-
tested election than tlie present and for. what? Merely
because a few men want_public offices. There has not
been a single principle challenged by the Opposition. They
have no platform to submit. They have no fault to find
‘Vllll anything that has been done. The one and only ex-
"U50 limi' Offer' for being in opposition at the present time
is that in their opinion the reductionlin public debt and
the Sllfllluses are not what the qualified, independent
“Gill”-fl€B -Elly they are. Now that is wholly in the air, as
MF- Higgs W0Ulf1 BUY- FOI' good or ill the public must de-

llpon the reports of such qualified, independent auditors
argl there is an end to democratic government and the
om s knocked out of the policy "trust the people."
Bul We are Deffeffily satisfied that nine-tenths of the people

sms. To be candid were the Opposition half as prac

uc" “S they “W VlSl0ll\ll'Y. they would be less sceptical of
ie reports submitted to them.
_ GRITS LOSING HEART
The Grits are quite evidently losing heart.
The Patriot yesterday metaphorically thanked heaven
that thc Grit candidates were not howled off the platform
in the People's Theatre.
Mr Benjamin Rogers in manifesto (explanatory) number
three mournfiilly proclaims that " the will of the people
shall rule." which. means the order of the boot to Mr
Rogers in the First District of Prince. `
_ As there is no earthly prospect of the Grit candidates
being returned, and consequently no chance of their
becoming hons " after the 16th, the Patriot is lavish in its
bestowal of the "hon" as an encouragement to the dis-
hearteilcd candidates to continue their sacrifice of time,
money and energy, not to say " gas," in a lost cause. Thus
we have the " Hon " John McMillan, "Hon" Geo. E.
Hughes. "Hon" Benjamin Rogers, "Hon" H. J. Palmer and
peradventure, " Hon " Peter Brodie.
Such a galaxy of political talent has never been seen
in the history of the Province as the Grits have provided
entertainment of the electorate in the _present cam-
triumvfrate par excellence, of course, are the “Hon”
Peter Brodie. “Hon " H. J. Palmer, and the “ Hon ” John
J. Bradley. The entertainment these performers provide
is always exhilarating if rarely educative or instructive.
* The Patriot says the policy of the Liberals is to give
,the farmers' children merely “a good ‘ common" school
education ‘ commonly’ known as the three R*s." Exactly!
Good enough, in the opinion of the Patriot and its "blue-
blooded " orators, for " common i' farmers' children. f" The
fancy subjects and d'vers educational frills ” must he
reserved for the children of tlie'*‘ blue-blooded " ariatocrlti.
of which the Patriot is the servile organ.

wif. .liar l-‘
~ The Patriot is new .so used to' bespattering mud and
spreading false reports that it is hardLv worth while
noticing all of them. In its edvitol-ial columns it never fails
,to cast reflections on the bonu-fide; of anyone who mei'
oDl>0se the Grit candidates. it is always looking for ulter-
ior motives, and where they are not discernable does not
l1esitate.to manipulate them. Amongst the latter was a
charge against Mr. Donald McKinnon that he had received
$402 for services rendered the Government. ~ This is wholly
incorrect. The $402 referred to are the taxed costs- in-
curred by Mr. Lowe whose case was submitted to arbitra-
tors, an amount that would have been taxed against the
late Liberal Government, only they were afraid to allow
Mr. Lowe to bring his action in Court. This amount and'
the $7,000 award should rightly have been charged against
the late' Government and not the resent administration.
The Liberals abused their privilege in refusing to allow
 -_l;___;
---i>liolllil:ss» or 'rlia~cll-MPAloN~- e ~
'l'o~day the Mathieson Government stands higher in
public estimation than ever it did, and there is but one
opinion regarding the result of the election. The Mathie-
son Government will be retained by an overwhelming
majority. lt is doubtful whether the two seats oi' Mr
Richards and Mr McWilliams in the Fourth District of
Prince will be retained by the Opposition..
During” the past week those who were a little lukewarm
in politics have begun to realise what the insidious cam-
paign of the Opposition really ls. They want to replace
Premier Mathieson by Mr Benjamin Rogers, and no decent-
minded Liberal will tolerate such an insult to' his intelli-
gence and patriotism. The Patriot also realises that the
bottom has gone out of its campaign, and is now busily
whistling to keep up its courage, and that of its candidates.
As the 16th September draws nearer the people are show-
ing their appreciatlon of the work of the Government by
rallying to the support of the Government candidates: and
it is questionable whether a "corp0i'al’s guard ” of Oppo-
sitionists will be returned to the new legislature.

.HAND BOMBS AND BODY ARMOUR
At the outbreak of the present war, many people of
experience were convinced that fighting would be con-
ducted at exceptionally long range, the armies being miles
apart and hardly visible to` each other, even in large
bodies, by the naked eye alone. High power long range
infantry rifles and ordnance of from five to fifteen miles
range made it seem nearly certain that one army could
not advance openly toward the other to any point within
the range of fire. The great development of the aeroplane
and other air-craft made surprise. attacks, in force, next to
impossible. So, altogether it seemed certain that this war
WQUU1 be f0llEl1t out at long range. But, one very im-
portant element entered into this war as it has entered
no' other war before, and completely reversed the.sltua-
tion. Instead of being fought at far greater range than
any previous wars, it is to a very great extent, being
fought out at ii far shorter range than any previous wars
except those of decidedly ancient history. Before the war
had been many weeks old the slippers developed their
science to a point where it brought two contending armies
literally face to face at distances measured by yards or
hunting with the hounds' oppommists ever' the Grits ' even feet instead of miles. The science of trench digging
has been developed to such an extent that each army
