Confederation in Canada works well, and no province has been legally wiped off the map, but cach has its own duties and respon- sibilities, as has the whole Domin - ion. To the Dominion each pro- vince LODCGUOC] certain rights and duties as well as preserving cer- tain distinctive rights to them- selves nnd to each its own autono- my. in this church dispute it would be wiser to ‘take a leaf from the constitution of the ‘Dominion than to force through Union on the ground proposed. on the to us very obnoxious Union enabling bill. which I do not think gives the ven- erable Presbyterian Church in Can- ada fair play, when it proposes to take hcr properly away from her, invade her trusts with the dead and blot out her very name. -But because we try by every constitu- tional means to preserve those things, Albertonian would term us “resctionaries" and question this great church of possessing the quai- itles of leadership for the youth and vigor oi the church, but l think that long after Alberfonlan and I will have joined the silent majority. ‘the grand old Presbyteri- un Church will continue not in "ex- tinguishment by process of law.“ man to blame. One thing is cer- tain; one of them or both of them must bear the responsibility. lit would seem as if, when Mr. Boullcr explained the seriousness of the situation to these two offi- cials, they deliberately decided to shorten the day's work of the Car Ferry, so that the cars would not be brought over from Tormentine and the Potato Growers’ Associa- tion would ‘thus be prevented from filling their orders in time. it is ' hard to imagine that sane, civilized men could do such a thing, but what other explanation or interpre- tation can be given to such con- duct? ' According to Mr. Boultefs stale- ments, ‘Supt. Grady knew that thir- ty narrow gauge cars loaded with seed potatoes had stood lb the rall- way yard here for some ten days without protection, that these pota- toes could not be moved or pro- tected tiii refrigerator cars would be obtained. that a few hours’ frost might mean a loss of ‘tens of thous- ands of dollars to the Potato Grow- ers’ Association. because the Asso- ciation had been notified ‘the pois- toes were at their risk. and yet days of valuable time were wasted. and it ‘was only the exceptionally mild weather that saved the Asso- elation last fall. A proper and t-horouglit investiga- tion must be held into this affair. I to the two great na- tions whom at the moment they immediately concern. Maine was a dictator in Russia and exercised for six or seven years past a power as arbitrary, as complete and as crucl as the Worst of the czars. His death may disturb the iniquitous tyranny which he and Trotsky bad established and carried on, but it can hardly be held to promise an immedi- late change for the better. Trotsky remains, apparently supreme arbi- ter for the moment. but is appar- ently of inferior quality and calibre to his fallen leader, and equally mericiloss. Some progress had been made during the past two years in bringing partial order out of choas in Russia. it remains to be seen whether this progress will be ad- vanced or retarded by the fall of Lenine. He and Trotsky had been inseparable from the time they first met as conspirators and equally after their usurpation of power.

There are no healthier, roofer-checked finer looking men and women in Canada than those of the bill couri- tries around Montreal and Quebec and their robust health is undoubt eddy largely due to their vigorous enjoyment of winter. Winter sports are an attraction lo outsiders as ‘well as healthful re- creation to those who participate in them. For both reasons they should be encouraged and develop- ed. in this city Government Pond offers a unique attraction in the way of an open air skating rink. UURNS ANNIVERSARY Today is the Burns Anniversary celebration the world over where- evor Scolsmen foregather. Here tbs wincipie celebration is the Caledouian Club concerts and en- tertainments; elsewhere there are banquets, lectures and also con- certs to help keep the memory green of one who has earned un- dying lame as the exponent in verse of what is the best and chen isbed ideals of mankind. As one ' of his admirers puts it'.— EFORE any steamship had crossed the ocean, and b3. fore either the locomotive or the telegraph had been invented, nine‘ merchants of Montreal. signed articles for the formation of the “Montreal Banlrfnow the Bank of Montreal. That was on June :3, t8!7-—-more than r06 years ago. Sinoelflzat time Montreal has grown from a town of less than 'zo,ooo to a city of more than 800,000 population. The Bank: in continuous and sirccessfirl operation from those early days dorm no the present time, has steadily pioneered its way across Canada, I The genius of Burns is that (nag- netic influence which has drawn together all sorts and conditions of men in the bonds of friendship. harmony and love — friendship. with its pure and holy sympathies; harmony —- with its soothing charms; and love-such as the poet set forth. "when man to man the world o'er, shall brlthers be for a‘ that." Burns was not a genius who obtained transient fame through the force of circumstan- cok-‘as a general who has led armies to successful conquest ovor deaolated homes and broken hearts w-IIOL to a genius like Lenine who has grasped a sceptre by treach- ery. fraud and force and placed an ironbeel on struggling liberty; but to, a genius higher and hoiier— ‘a genius that has made men zhap- pier and better and has taught self- dependence, honesty and truth-n truer appreciation of liberty, and fa more ready obedience to law— s ‘genius that has inspired men to a noble heroism in defence of the hereditary rights of marfhood-a genius that has won universal and undying fame by that affinity and sympathy which flashed from heart to heart, that "touch of nature ,whlcb makes the whole world kin." Today Scotsman and the world in general do not lament over "the dead man," Robert Burns, but bon- nur "the living genius"—-—the Ayr- shire Ploughmau whose lessons messages in poetry linger and endure-clothed with love as with ‘a garment-which sink into the heart almost fnsonslbly, but once there never eradicated: their in- fluence is ever felt in the actions of life prompting us to nobler deeds it would cost but a comparatively few-dollars for upkeep in the win- ier and it would afford healthful and pleasurable enjoyment for hundreds of children who are for many reasons unable to take ,ad vantage of the one rink in the city. A little expenditure for this laud- able and long advocated movement on behalf of the children espec- ially, would, we feel assured. meet with general approval on the part oi our citizens. _---¢-o>--—- THE LIBERAL RETREAT instead of meeting argument with argument our Liberal friends, now retreating all along the line signing and it is poesiblepthat hc may now do so. At best the out- look for stable government in Rus- sia on a basis of justice and’ liberty is not assuring. In England the announcement of the new Labor government has been calmly received and ‘its per- sonnel may be said to give assur- ance of greater strength than was expected. it was quickly formed. and contains more moderate and able men as well as a greater num- her who are experienced in public affairs than it had been thought could have been brought together with such business-like alacrlty by the new Premier. it is distinctly made up oftbose elements in the party which are comparatively free from serious objection by the bet- ter elements outside its lines and and discouraged, have again taken lip the role of the martyr. “Yben, either in tho public press or on the public platform, attention is direc- ted to the burdens laid upon indus- try and commerce by tariff tinker- ing or by muddling taxation, the paper or the speaker is at once denounced as a "pessimist" or a scold. Thc Rt. Hon. Arthur ivleig- hcn, at three of the largest and held in Canada, exposed the errors and the bungling rampant in the King administration and forthwith, every little Liberal newspaper in the country proceeded to abuse him as a pessimist, a chronic scold and a fault-finder! if, instead of this whine, some one Liberal organ or minister, should atlemptvto justify or to explain, for example the necessity of increas- ing the Sales tax, the benefit to Canadian industry or to Canadian whether amid the dangers of the tented field. the quiet happiness of the domestic circle or the busy anxieties of every day life. ————<ocr——-—- WINTER SPORTS The Canadian National Railways has issued an attractive booklet showing the principal Winter sports of Canada. Necessarily the scones are taken largely from Mon- treal and Quebec which are nat- urally better adapted for many of the winter sports than the more level provinces.

PQIIIOVH THE SOENT OF‘ VICTORY ' -'i“wo things stood out like moun- taidfpesks in Thursday night's great gathering of the Conserva- tive party‘ in Ottawa.

To do so in the present lPnrliement would be to court dc- fent and yet defeat might be will- ingly accepted if there were rea- sonable grounds on which to be- lieve that on another appeal to the country a majority could ho ob- tained for those extreme measur- es. The party holding power at the time of a dissolution of Parliament has always an advantage at the fol» lowing election. This advantage the Labor party has not yet had and it is one which they may yet claim in the hope of obtaining in- creased support. “Everything is so high since the War," is an expiession we often hear in these days. And coal is one of the things that are high. We get a glimpse of thereasons why coal costs so much when we read that of 3,090 miners employ- ed by the British Empire Steel Cor- poration in Cape Breton only 101 receive less than 3.25 per day, while the average al-i round is $5.23 per day. The miner is not a cheap man by any means and is appar- ently about as ready to strike for bigber pay as to strike when a re- duction of pay is decided upon. And a strike sends up the price of coal almost assuredly as an increase in he miners‘ wages. And because coal is dear railway freight rates (Continued on Page l!)

As i have not had the priv- ilege of following the correspond- encc as it appeared in your paper. l am flflfieeifilhily at a loss to know lust how my name has been intre- duced in connection with -the mst- ter. l ‘shall only deal, therefore, with one statement made by Mr. Christie, which reads as follows: “Mr. MacGregor has no ground in the world for insinuating that the United Church requires permis- sion of Legislature in ordcr to change her statement of doctrine or her policy. Section 27 of‘ the Bill makes it abundantly clear that the United Church will be absolutely free of statc coniroiin all spiritual matters." With the above -l must take dlr cci. issue. The Basis of Union is made a part of the contemplated legislation. How. then, can tho changed without going back to Parliament and the Logis- latures for an amending Act? l assume that by Section 27 Mr. tion, proposed to be added ihat will declare the spiritual independ- ence of t.hc Church, but in my hum- ‘lile opinion, this "spiritual indo- pcuilonce" may be shouted from the house-tops or inserted in the Bill any number of times, but so long as the Basis is made a part of fire Enabling Act it cannot legally he changed ‘without going hack to the legislative authority that en- acts it. it may wcll be, as some have con-tended. that Church ‘Union could have been brought about without any legislation on the part of civil authorities. but once the Church has “appealed unto Caesar" "Caesar" must. be consulted, if any changes are to be made in the fut ure. l am.

Mr. Christie if their votes are of no constitutional value to explain ‘the value of tho common people in the church. and he is silent. Now. I ask Albertan- lan the same question. in vicw of the moss these constitutional law- yers have brought the Presbyterian Church into. surely the question is now a pertinent one. ‘i fail to see the difference be- tween the term "sunken" and "abolished" to which Albertonian takes exception, and "extinguish- ment" to which he adheres. in any case, it means that the ‘Presbyteri- an Church in Canada is going in be wiped out of existence if thcsc drastic hills are to become law. Alhertonian defines the .f'reahy~ fer-inn Church not as a democratic church, but as an "aristocratic or representative" one.

Sir,~l will, with your permission. quote at length from Mr. J. 0. Hyndmaifs letter in your lsauo of the 11th inst, so that your rend cm. who may be interested, will have as clear an idea as possible of the transportation muddle last fall. Mr ilyndman stntes— “Now, as regards filly request having been made for a special trip on Saturday the 17th Nov- cmbcr, l will state that no such request was madc. The request of the Potato Growers‘ Associa- tion was only made on the after- noon of the 17th November ask- ing for a special trip of the bout on Sunday, the 18th November, so vtirat the cars would be on the island side and ready to go 4 down the line on Monday morn- ing. Now. local railway officials have not the authority to order the Cur Fcrry to make a special l-rip on Sunday. and only be arranged by application to Mr. L. S. Brown. The Sci:- rctary of the Potato Growers’ Association made application by telephone to Mr. Brown on the afternoon of the 17th Novem- ber, and was lead to believe at the time that their request would be granted, though tho special trip on Sunday did not nratcrializc. if Mr. Brown 0r dered a special trip to be made, surely Mr. Hughes does not thlnk_ ‘any local or sub official would undertake to counter- mand that order. As I pointed out in my previous communica- tion. Mr. R. L. Wheeler, Manag- cr of ‘the Transportation Dc- partment of the C.N.R.. at 0t- tawa. visited this igrovlnce in August last, and after thorough- ly discussing the situation with the Secretary of ‘the Potato Growers‘ Association, he was made familiar with the import- ance of the industry, and how much its success depended on a satisfactory transportation ser- vice. Mr. Wheeler undertook to give ‘his personal assurance that lilo Association need not worry as t0 lack of cars. and that he would guarantee that all the re- frigerator cars required would be supplied to tako care of the Associations requirements.- "As I have, therefore, already pointed out, and know my con- tontion is right. that the fault (loos not rest with local officials in Prince Edward island, that curs were not supplied, but with the head officials of ‘the Canadian National Railways." Since Mr. Hyndmaifs letter was pirbllsbod I have ‘been told by General Manager Brown that Mr. R. L, Wheeler is NOT an official of the C.N.R., that he (Brown) rim-s not know the Iman at all, ‘and that he. (Wheeler) had nothing whatever to do with the sending of cars to, or the keeping of cars from Prince Edward island last fail. it will, therefore, be necessary for Mr. Hyndman to ‘think of some body other than Mr. Wihoeler to blame for the refusal of the C.N. it. officials to have the refrigerator cars transferred from Tormentine lo Borden on Saturday. the 17th of November last. Mr. Boulter informs ‘me that on the above mentioned day the train- despatcbefls office ‘told him there were sixteen refrigerator cam at Tormentiue for the island. About noon he asked the offlce and Supt. Grady to have these cars brought to Borden as quickly as possible, explaining how badly they were cried, and it was only when he understood from Mr. Grady that tbs-y could not be brought over that day (Saturday) that he (Boui- ter) suggested a Sunday trip of the boat. On Saturday, the 17th November inst the Car Ferry made two round trips only. Illcr regular day's work at that time was from three to four round tripl. and some days she made ns runny as ‘live round trips. particular Saturday she Borden after oompltlng the last trip about 4 o'clock in the ulos to be elective at, afternoon. it would. therefore. have say, Albert-on, or Hurray Harbor been easy for her to have made aa- l- thls canl The investigation must be in public and the hooks must be open for in spcctlon. I think ‘the investigation sirouid be before Sir Henry Thorn- ton himself, because inm convinc- oil that ‘the officials responsible for this crime against the people of this IProvince will move heaven and earth to cover up their tracks and prevent the truth from being known. if the manor men respons- ible for what I havp deliberately called a crime go unpunfshed, the people of this iProvlnce may just as well abandon the seed potato in- dusiry. Tire ‘Potato. Growers‘ As- sociation lrave, ‘therefore, a duty to perform, and independent public spirited citizens have also a duty to perform. ‘l have been ‘told that Mr. Turner, cx-prc-vidcnt 0f the Cirariottetown Board of 'l‘radc. wrote a icttcr stat. ing that he and the Potato Grow- crs‘ Association and everybody in ihc Province were wcil satisfied with the railway service last fall, and I know that some of ‘the railway officials are using this letter in jus- tification 0f their conduct. Mr. iiyndman in one of his letters says he believes the Potato Growers’ As- sociation are well satisfied. it will thus be seen what harm presidents and other ofliciais of ‘Boards 0i Trades can do when they interfere in public matters while having their own little axcs to grind and their nwn vanity or petty personal inter- ests to serve. Tile Secretary of ‘the Potato Growers’ Association says that they urn ccrtziinly not satisfied with the railway service they receiv cd inst fail, that so far as be knows neither Mr. Tumor nor Mr. llymiman is authorized to speak for the Association, and pro- bably the Association will speak for itself in the near future. The Nations.‘ Railways of Canada are a great public utility in which every citizen of this Dominion is vitally interested. twhen the man- agvzment come to think that the railways are their own personal property. to be administered as they and they alone see fit, and when they and their satellites resent le- gitimate critlclsm and endeavor to personally punish those who critic- ize, we are far from being s free people. And if we submit to such conduct. or tolerate such an attitude on tho part of the railway officials. we are far from being worthy of freedom. I am, Sir. etc, J. J. HUGHES. Charlottetown. P.E.l..

TOURISTS AND TRANSPORTA- TlON Sir.—— A "Prince Edward island tourist Association" was formed a short time ago for the purpose of providing wnys and means to in- duce a large number of people, principally from Canada and the United States to spend their vacations in Prince Edward Island. Our leading and thinicing citizens arc practically all of the opinion that we should have a greater por- tion of the Tourist trade than we are getting. Naturally tho first considers-lion will be a financial one, but it is quite possible that benefits more inst-ins; and far reaching may result from the influx of a large body of tourists, among whom will be men who are a force in the world-——men who Do things -—mon who will see chances horn to develop our natural resources and who have the capital to back them up while we remain in a sort of “Dolco far niente" state-Aacking, initiative and blind to our opportunities. We can't claim to have "grand" scenic beauty (inihe sense of mountains, lakes and swift flow- lng rivers), the topography of our province is "iow and gently undulating,"——bnt we have a beautiful pastoral scone y pro- bably not excelled in America. We have some of the finest trout streams in the northern hemisp- here, beach bathing where the water i; warmer than at either of the great summer bathing resorts of Revere or Nantucket. Pastoral scenery has a charm for the great majority. in the nature of every human being there is an inherent love of the soil and plant life. Tired busineaq men, capitalists and plntocrals-thelr favorite? diver- sion a-nd recreation is very often cultivation of a blot of land. it would appear then that our beauti- ful park-like scenery and cool climate should be featured most prominently when advertising P. complete service-Jocal, every-section of the Dominion. men have also salt water bathing beach- es, dccp sea. fishing, trout streams than which ‘there arc none hotter besides many other attractions, some of thorn uniquc, such as our fox ranches.

The people have bccn trusted and trusted fully. By their own direct vote and ihruiurli their rc- prescxitatlvcs in Preshyfnrlcs and General Assembly thc people liavc clearly lndclaicd their will. They voted directly at the only time when according to our (lonst-iluiimr they, could vote, namely. before n0- Llon was taken by Preslryicrica un- der the Barrier Act. Before the Prcsbyicries and Assembly took fi- nal action under the Barrier Act, not only wcrc all the people in- vitcd to vote for or against Union, on the present basis, they were dis- tinctly told that this was the final vote and that the matter was now to be settled. Thus challenged to express their mind, twenty-two nor cent of tho Church members voted against Union, while of tliosu vot- ing there was a majority of 40,000 in favor of Union. More than 100,- 000 did not vote and thcrvby du- clarcrl their willingness to ncccpt the decision oithcr way of thc majority of those who did note. in the light of that vote of fhc people. the Presbyterian by n majj. ority of 53 to 13 voted in favor of Union on the present basis. and the Genera-i Assembly, by n l-limilgr vote of 4 to 1, passed the Union proposals into a permanent cnoct- ment of the Church, Since (hm decision the Assembly itself could not change the Church's policy on Union without referring the matter to the Presbyterie-s under the liar- rier Act.
