VWEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 1. 1915.
THE PROVINCIAL DEBT
The Patriot, which has, during the present campaign.
specialized in an endeavour to create public opinion un-
hainpered by the restraining influence of facts, has de-
voted considcrable attention to the Public Accounts. it
claims to have convinced itself that the Mathieson Govern-
ment has not reduced the debt of the province and wants
its readers to acquire the same opinion.
Now, it is quite possible to juggle with figures in such
ii way to make them misleading, and this has been the
l’atriot's aini. But there is one measure that the in-
telligent electors of this province cnniiot be mystitied in;
that measure is interest. The amount of interest paid on
a debt is a very fair measure of the size of the debt. The
debt itself may be separated into classes; there may be
notes, mortgages, bills of sale,'etc., etc., and the poor
debtor himsclt' may not know where lic is at. When, how-
cvcr, he reckons the interest he is paying Will' DY yelll'
he knows exactly whether hc is going behind or gaining.
This measure every farmer in the province can apply for
himself to the debt of this province on the two periods
which the Patriot is foolishly trying to befog, namely.
when the Liberal party were turned out of otilce, and
today, after three and o. halt' years of Liberal-(7oiiserva.-
tive adininistratioii. The figures showing the interest paid
at these two periods are given in the Public Accounts.
llere they are:
ln 1911, according to the Public Accounts of that year,
the amount of interest paid was $39,041.63. In the same
gear there was received in interest from sinking funds.
etc., $2,960.76, leaving the net interest paid for the your
$30,080.87.
ln 15114 the amount of interest paid was $38,629.18, while
tlic interest rcccived t`roin .sinking funds, etc., was $5,798.69
leaving the net Interest for the year $142,830.49 as against
$36,080.87, the net interest paid in 1911, or a' difference of
$21,250.33 in favour of 1914. ln other words the interest
paid on the debt of thc province in 1914 ws $3,250.38 less
than that paid on the debt of 1911. (Tapltalizlng this
$3,250.38 at 4 per cent., the rate paid both in 1911 and
1014, it would represent a principal sum of $81,259.50. This
is the reduction of the debt of the province since 1911,
without taking into consideration the investment in creo-
soted piles, etc., and no amount of juggling by the' Patriot
r-an niakc it otherwise.
Is it not unfortunate that thc Patriot. in order to hood-
wink the electors into believing that they are not any
bcttcr off under the present administration than they were
during the period ot’ perpetual deficits, should endeavour
to inisrepreseiit figures which as they stand in the Public
Accoiiiits are as plain as two plus two make four? what
do the electors think of a party which must be bolstered
up at thc cxcpnse of truth?
TRADUCINO THE ISLAND
Yesterday we received the following letter which
speaks for itself:
Vancouver, B. (‘.., Aug, 21, 1915.
Sir,-A dclogatioii of Vancouver and Victoria business
men waited on the Premier of this province ii few days
ago to urge that the interests concerned should be com-
pensated in the event of a proliibitory liquor law being
enacted during the war. Mr. R. A. O'Gilvie, who claiins
to have been a resident of P. E. Island for some time, is
reported in the daily papers to have made the following
remarks before the delegation: "He referred to what he
knew about the Province of P. E. Island. They were sup-
posed to have total prohibition there, but he was sure
tliat the members of the tcinpcrnnce delegation who had
niet the Government the other day, could they have seen
thc iniquity in Prince Edward Island under prohibition,
would not \vaiit it in force in British Columbia."
There is a large number of Islanders in this city, all
of whom have a warm spot in their hearts for the place
of their birth and they resent Mr. 0'Gilvio's statements,
This is brought to your attention in the belief that you will
bo able to counteract the impression caused by Mr.
O'Gllvie’s remarks.
I have not had the pleasure of visiting my old homo
fm' mflfly Years, but I have always had the impression
that NSS "illiqUilY" and as high, if not higher, standard of
“U7-0HShlD existed on the Island than elsewhere and my
observatons in other provinces in Canada and States in
the Union confirm this view.
I am, Sir, etc.,
A. M. POUND.
Mr. Pound is an Islander who has prospdred in the far
WUSL being a member of _the well-known llrm of Campion

number ot’ Islanders in Vancouver," that they are quite
justified In resentlng Mr. 0'Gllvle's statements. They are
without foundation in fact. There is no more temperate,

brption, drunkenness was conspicuous by its entire ab-
when there were 3,000 people present, not an individual
the worse of liquor was in evidence.
Prince, Edward Island holds a record unique in the
history of Governments of the world. in so far that every
member of it is a pledged total abstalner. <
If our correspondent discovers anyone traducing the
Island, he will tlnd on investigation that the libel emanates
from someone who has a personal or political spite against
the Government, or has some ulterior inotlva_.t.o serve-
which is not the best interests of the Province.

' AS OTHERS SEE US ,
The Toronto News, of which Sir John S. Willlson is
Editor, has this to say about Premier Mathleson:
“The general election in Prince Edward Island should
result in the return of the Mathleson Government to power
by an emphatic majority. During its three years of office
it has given the Island much better administration than
was previously enjoyed. The Premier, Mr. John A. Ma-
thieson, is a man of character and ability.
“A definite .success as Oppositon leader, his capacity
for public affairs did not fully develop until he became
First Minister. During his visit to Toronto, two or three
years ago, he impressed himself upon all those who heard
him speak and met him personally as a man of parts and
force. Gifted as a serious speaker, he has also a lighter
vein which delighted his audiences.
“None of his bearers will soon forget his interesting
talks on the oyster tisheries and other Prince Edward Is-
land industries. Whenever be travels he is an active and
effective advertising agent for the attractions of his
native Province. A staunch Canadian, with an under-
standing of National as well as Provincial problems, Mr.
Mathieson is .a worthy representative of his part of the
Dominion and may easily, if he chooses, have a career in
the Federal arena. Though the poll is to be taken on
September 16th, the Liberals are reported by the Island
press as unable to settle upon a leader."

THE NUMBER OF THE BEAST
An esteemed correspondent writes:
"Revelation XII :18. Here is wisdom. Let him that
hath understanding count the number of the Beast: for it
is thc number of a man, and his number is Six Hundred
three Score and Six.
"The solutions here attempted are mainly by letter-
numhers, giving to eacli letter a numerical valno corres-
ponding to its place in the alphabet, from A 1 to Z 26.
"Nothing should 'oe admitted that is not D€l`U1\@|\i 0'
dwcriptlve of thc man. Thus William the Second, Gor-
man Eniperor. King of Prussia, (in German, Wlllielm ll.,
Deutscher Kaiser, Konig Proussen) is of the House of
Holienzollern, the ninth of that family to wear ii. crown.
and came to the throne at the age of 29 years. Ho has
six sons. Berlin is his capital. Any of these facts may
be considered as properly a part of the description:

Dear Madam- »
The other night my wife remarked that Iwould have to
take our boy down to the store and lit him with a »_suit to
wear during the coming school ,term. I was surprised to
learn that school _would re-opeii_ so soon (Sept. 7). and rem.
embering that it is but a short time since the boy_had a new
suit, I asked whether he_ did ‘not already-have a slut he could
wear, “Why” she replied, I wouldn_t think of_ett1ng him
wear that new sui_t to school. _Get him something that he
can knock_ around in_ar_id that will stand any amount of rough
usage. His other suit is good, b_ut it wouldnt do for school.”
It then occurred to:the writer that quitefa number of
Egrents would be glad to obtain a specialschool suit for their
ys if they knew_how well such a suit would wearand what,
true economy it is to have him wear a suit_that he cannot
make shabby! in a few weeks time, saving his more dressy
clothes fort e occasions for which they are better fitted.
We have now in _stock a fine assortment of boys' school
clothes. 'The materials from which they are made give
extra good wear and he will have to _be a very active boy
who can pull them out of shape or rip the seams. These
suits look well on the boy too. The_patterns are all_ good,
-the only difference between these suits and others is that
these are made for extra heavy wear.
Your b_oy will need such a suit within a week or_so and
we would like to have you see _how well we can fit him out.
You have probably been thinking about a _new suit for him
before this, and we would suggest that you see these special
suits at your earliest convenience at $3.49.
Yours truly,
JAMES VPATON & C0.

NOTES
In France now it ls being charged that men niiide
improper profits ln connection with the purchase of wheat
for the army. Every country breeds the kind that would
cheat the soldier. The country that punishes the crooks
reduces the extent of the shame it should feel. Canada
has unearthed a few of these crooks and compelled them
to dlsgorge. Other countries would do well to follow ber
example. '
