TIIE ELECTION AND AFTER ‘
The Mathieson Government is still at the old Stand.
in spite o' the “doom” which the Patriot held over HB
head for the past six months. And the editor Of the Paul"
is still ut his old stand, in spite of his fond anticillal-|011 that
he "would have been “ dignifylng" the office of Premier by
his august presence in the capacity of First Minister. It
was fated the Government should be returned bY B SUD'
stanlinl working majority, better than many DY Which the
Liberals ran the administration for years; and it was fated
`that the Patriot should prove once more a false Dl10D|\0t
and treacherous guide. Not a few good Citizens Illliled
by the l’ntrlot’s optimism into expressing Grit asDll`ati°“s
are now bewailing their lack of diplomacy. It is wisdom
not to halioa until one is out of the wood.
Our contemporary has no apology or explallal-1011 I0
offer for its misrepresentations; it simply just asks its
readers to wait another four years and then-“ You will see
what you shall see."
One statement is noteworthy, however. The Patriot
admits after the election that “ Mr Nash refused to sign
thu anti-auto pledge."
What have our anti-auto friends to say to this? What
have the people of Belfast to say, who were led to believe

by the solemn assurance given by Mr Forbes lu Mr Nash's
presence that he (Mr Nash) was pledged against the auto-
mobiles? It is o point hardly worth referring to, were
it not that it affords a flagrant example of the sort of
canvas with which the Grits misled the electors. They
'made accusations and promises which they knew to be
false and intended merely to hoodwink the farmers.
The majority of the electors were not taken in, however.
and the Government has been returned for another four
years’ rule. Much muy be done in the interval, and many
changes take place, but we are safe in predicting that at
the end of that period the Grits will have even less chance
of attaining power' than they had on the present occasion.
Charlottetown and Royalty did remarkably well on the
ballot. An analysis of the votes shows that there was
a drop of only two per cent on the franchise poll, and while
the property vote showed a greater decline, that was
an indication that owners, who are naturally aligned with
the Grit party, preferred to remain at home rather than
vote against a Government which had done so well by the
Province.
In Georgetown there was a remarkable votc. Premier
Muthieson polled n majority of no less than 227 over his
opponent, Mr Peter McCourt. who will probably lose his
deposit; while Mr R. J. McLellan secured a majority of' 232.
`lt is quite evident that the Fifth District of Queen’s has
absolutely no doubt about the qualifications of Premier
Mathieson and his colleague to carry on successfully the
affairs of the Province. ' f
When all is said and done. the fact remains that after
__l,ll__c_Hnios_t strenuous fight in the history of tho Province the
Mathieson Government has been returned on its merits to
serve a second term.
The Patriot did not expect this~or it lied.
The Grit candidates did not expect this-or they lied.
The Grit orators, Messrs Brodie, Palmer and Bradly,
did not expect this-or they lied.
Therefore the whole Grit organisation was taken by
surprise, and now they are busy trying to find excuses
ami explanations.
They Iwed llvli WOI‘l‘y: it was with them as Mr Higgs
foretold in his wonderful vision; they had already been
weighed in the balance and found wanting.
_With other four years experience in the Opposition the
Grits may be able to fix upon a leader and draft a pro-
gramme with which to go to the country. Menntlme the
IUSS U10? have t0 Shy about "dooms" and "doomsday"
the better will their disappointed fallowing be pleased, for
they iiavebeen done brown and don’t like it.
MOST SOBER ELECTION RECORDED

asks Us l° state that ThUl`Sd8Y's election was " tho soberest,

improve the social comlitions, to raise the standard of
morals, and to extend the prohlbitary powers of the Gov-
ernment regarding the liquor law and the Corrupt Prac-
tices Act. lt was for this purpose it in 1913 strengthened
the law regarding the sale and distribution of liquor at
elections. Heretofore the law was such that a carriage
and six could be driven through lt, and very often the
irlnrrlage was chock full of whisky. ln the present election

MACHINE GUN SURPLUSES
The Guardian has been instrumental in raising several
gun funds in the province, and the response has been
more than geneious. As the result of our efforts there
has been subscribed directly and indirectly about $15,000
for machine guns. We have two lists now on hand, one
iii which there is a. credit balance of about $2.000 and the
other, the roadmasters’, with a credit of about $130.
' Now Senator Lougbeed, who was acting Minister of
Militia until last week, has issued the following to the
press:.“ Donations for machine guns already have exceeded
the expectations of the Government. The Govemment has
placed an order for all the machine guns at present avail-
able, and further donations would not result in furnishing
-any additional equipment of guna to our troops."
This being so, it has occurred to us that it would be a
wise ami patriotic movement to transfer the amount at
the credit of our Machine Gun Funds in the Royal Bank
and Canadian Bank of Commerce to the Canadian Patriotic
Fund, which is greatly in need of funds.
The Canadian Patriotic Fund was incorporated in
August 1914 for the purpose of collecting, administering
and distributing a fund for the assistance, in case of need.
of the wives, children and dependent relatives of officers
and men, residents of Canada, who, during the present
War, may be on active service with the naval and military
forces of the British Empire and Great Britaln's allies.
_ The Charter of the Fund was afterwards amended so
that temporary assistance might be rendered to the widows
of men killed in action or dying on service, and to men
lnvallded home to Canada by~ reason of wounds and sick-
ness.
Help is accorded to soldiers’ families through the
medium of local branches which act in accordance with
principles and suggestions laid down by the Executive
Committee at Ottawa. By this means it is possible to
secure n satisfactory measure of uniformity throughout
Canada and reasonable immunity from imposition or over-
lapping to ensure that no families, no matter in what part
of (`.am1da they may be living, will be neglected, and to
effect an equitable distribution of the large subscriptions
made by national corporations.

for further assistance for this laudable object, but before
making another direct appeal we wish to ask permission
to transfer the sums already in hand for guns to the
Patriotic Fund.
The Govermnent does not want more guns. To hand
thc money to the Militia Department would mean to lock
it up indefinitely, if not for ever. By transferring it to the
Patriotic Fund we would be giving immediate relief and
assistance to many of our brave people who have already
suffered by the war. We think every contribiitor to the
Machine Gun Funds will gladly assent to the proposal
we make, and if we hear nothing to the contrary before
Thursday, September 23, we shall take it for granted that
it is unanimously agreed that the transfer be approved.
UNLUCKY “Tamron
The Patriot is busily trying to find reasons to discount
the Government’s victory. One of the many suggested is
that one or two of the Liberal-Conservatives returned are
“ independents." Like other of our contemporary’s state-
ments this is wholly untrue. Every member elected has
been constitutionally nominated by the party Conventions,
has accepted Premier Mathieson as leader, and has prom-
ised “of‘ his own free will and accord" loyal support to
Premier Matbieson_ The seventeen Governn_1ent_ gupportcrs
are "united and whole-hearted in their allegiance to the
party and in loyalty to its bend.
The same cannot be claimed for the thirteen-unlucky
Hllmber-Grits, for they have so far no party and no leader
zo _whom to he obedient. *Already there is n strong canvas

for the fourth.
or-ERMAN r°aEAcEEiir `
A recent edition of the Belgian Grey Book contains a
dramatic account' of the conversation at Berlin between
Herr Von Jugow, the German Foreign Secretary, and
Baron Beyens, the Belgian Minister, over the demand of
Germany that her troops be allowed to pass through
Belgium to attack France. It is related that Von Jagow
said: “We have been compelled by absolute necessity to
make upon your government this demand. It is for
‘GU‘Illany a question of life and death. In order that she
may not be crushed, she must herself first crush France,
and then turn against Russia. lf the Belgian army does not

genres t0 A“tWel`D» We Promise not only to respect Belgian
ndepenrience and the life and property of the inhabitants,
but 3150 10 PHY YOU indemnity."
To this base appeal to greed, Baron Beyens replied:
" What would you say if we were to yield to o. similar
menace on the part of France? You _would say that we
were cowards, incapable of defending our neutrality and of
leading an independent life."
There was expressed the whole nut of the Belgian
gallantry. No wonder the German Secretary could find
no adequate answer to lt.
