THE GHARDIAH
A CITIZENS’ i\l
A very important programme .,`o'f"
   civic reform was recently brought
before the city council, intended to
piwpure the way for legislation to be

would not seek to swamp a majority
vote in favor of order and sobriety
by conferring a dominating
power upon a - liquor ‘ Selling
and liquor drinking minority; nor
would itforce a Scrimgeour ware-
house into the milst of a Scott Act
community three fourtlis of whom are
opposed to its existence. No doubt
the Patriot grows weary of hearing of
these things, but there is a very large
public who are still more 'Weary of
their exist-ence. No doubt our town
is small, but it is still a little too big
to be satisfied with the one horse
and excuse any and every abuse with-
in its party, and to stand an obstruct-
ive in the wav of needed reform and
progress.
| \
The esteemed Patriot finds the dis-
cussion of pure and wholesome food,
clean streets and modern improve-
ments tiresome. Present conditions
are always good enough for the old
fogies and moss backs. “It cannot'
be expected that all the modern im-
provements of the larger cities will
be adopted and carried into perfect
operation in 9. city the SiZ9
of C-lizirlottetown,” says the
Patriot. The town is small
-what matter whether its meat and
milk-supply are pure or diseased?
What matter ifa portion of tho
population is poisoned yearly with
l sewage turned into the soil-the town
is small! Besidcs,scwage might in-
jure the health of the fishes in the
harbor. Let the sidewalks rot and
the people break their legs in the
holes--the town is small. AS f0I‘
l _etreet liglizing, the country districts
get along without anything of the
sort and why not Charlottetown---it,
is only a small place. Who wants to
send or receive a telegraph message
, after dark in a small town like this?
Who needs a number for his dwelling
or his shop in so small a,town 'l Is it
not quite suiiicient to know that a
man lives somewhere, on one or
other side of a street half or l
three quarters of a mile in length?
Why may not thousands travel daily
to the post ollice instead of half a
dozen carriers bringing their papers
and letters to their doors. The town
Apply the same reasoning to the
family and the home. We will say
the family is small. Let the front
gate therefore drop from its hinges,
the steps become broken, the door
stand open, the windows be stuffed
with old hats, and feed thelittle ones
on diseased meat and milk. Le: ns
say these-conditions are good enough,
because the family is small. Would
not the family tend to become small-
er, also less self respecting under
But the Patriot is contending that ~
our city government in the past,
which is largely responsible for exist-
ing conditions, has been thoroughly
good and sufficiently progressive. Any
at least excusable because the town is
small. Who his not heard of the `
feminine person who excused her
lapse from virtue on the ground that
the resultant issue wasa. very small
specimen? To t-he mental obliquity of
the Patriot her reasoning would be
The time was when Liberalism was
progressive, reforming, looking out for-
new means of benefiting and uplift-
ing the masses. _It was that aggres-
siveattack upon old abuses,and produc-
lirst gave 'to Liberalism its hold up-
on the country. The Liberalileadsrs
and by liberal things they stood ap-
proved before the world. _ We invite
the Patriot to glance back to the old
Liberal quarry and view p the place
from whence true Liberalism 'was
hewn out. Then perchance its eyes
may' be opened to see that a professed
organof Liberal opinion ought not to
do some things that alleged “Liberals”
and “Patriots” are doing in these

without hope that a. majority of the

Lyons, who was absent when the re-
port was tabled, ought not to be-

Tun GUARDIAN would be glad to
see a. public meeting called for the
dscussion of the proposed changes as
was done in the case of water works
and sewerage. Such a meeting could
do no harm in any case and it would
probably elicit such an expression of
the views of our citizens as would be
useful. It may be that a. majority of
the electors desire a continuance of
the present system. If so, it would
be well that all should be made aware
of the fart. If on the other hand
t-here should be found a strong public
sentiment in favor of the change it
would be equally desirable that it
pshouldbe known. Why not call S
