Israel ‘Parte as the particular organ of the Liberal party in Quebec, but now independent, says of the by- elcction results: "How is the threefold defeat the Government has sustained to be in- terpreted? The Liberals will say, naturally, that the result of Mon- day's by-clections is a manifestation of non-confidence in the Bennett administration. The Gazette, whose Ministerial sympathies are well known, explains the result by point- ing out that in periods of economic depression the people's discontent invariably is expressed against the ruling Government whatever may be its political color. But it ls possible there exists another and a more convincing explanation. It is that the Government has been so occu- pied with andco absorbed in é..- deavors to overcome the economic crisis that it has had to neglect party organization and party pro- paganda whlLst it is notorious that the Liberals were marvcllously or- ganized for the electoral battles.

Cohan exprvascd it, “means a fool's paradise for the rich. and grinding hardship for the slllrl the poor." The statements of bot-h the Prime Minister and the Swcretary of state inspire the belief that Canada can. and will, avoid the dangerous cxpcdicllls of inflation and sustain unsrvenzngly n policy that in the end will stabilize rt sound "currency" and" stimulate private capital to renewed activity. ClIFTPllFY poverty and middle classes CREDIT WHERE DUE In: c. recent speech President Roosevelt commented upon the re- duction of unemployment in the United States since his inauguration of the NRA. drive. He began with the preliminary statement that "in the early spring 0f this year there were actually and proportionately meme people out of work in this country than in any other country in the world." This ‘official pro- EDITORIAL NOTES "A gentlemen," wrote Elbert Hub- bard, "is one whose virtues are not founded 0n self-interest." This 1s a b011,,“ mpubuc confirm, the pretty good working definition. inion that at no time has Canada uffered as severely from Ithe world depression as the United States-the reason for this being that the Canadian Government, which came into oillce after the depression was about s. year old, adopted measures which were ef- Kective in saving the Dominion from feeling the full effects of the world stoml. These Itep: included: Tn- lff enactments to protect Can- adian workers and farmers against dumlped inventories from other llctllmflfis; the far-reaching powers taken by the Administration for the preservation of peace, order and good government; tho resolute wurrc pursued by the Administra- lion in the maintenance of the nn- fonal credit af-‘home and abroad: nnd the negotiation at the imperial Conference of last year of prefer- ential trade treaties opening up v55; flow markets for Canadian products ‘under the British flag in all part5 of the uxorld. But for tiles: success- ful policies Canada probably would have suffered as badly during the Past three years as has the United States. Itccrnt official figures from 0t. lmva indicate that a quarter of .1 mlllon workers who were out of work last April are now once more unmoved. and that the number of Maple on relief has been reduced between thirty-five and forty per Germany is said to be $450,000 in arrears with her dues to the League of Nations. An exchange suggests she may be quitting on the old but questionable principle that it is chczlpcr to move than to pay rcnt. An analysis of figures compiled by the Motor Vehicles Branch of the Ontario Department of High- ways reveals that about one-half of the accidents occurring after dark can be traced w pOOr visibility. After thorough invcstgntion it is zlcclared that darkness or inadequate illumination is one of the main hazards and is responsible for more injuries and deaths on the high- ways than perhaps any one other factor. No less than three leading articles in the October issue of the Journal of the Canadian Bankers‘ Associa- tion arc contributed by former Prince Edward Islanders. Of these, two are by Mr. J. A. MacLeod, pres- idcnt of the Association, on the sub- jccts, "Historical Outline of nanloéig legislation in Canada," and "'I'he Present Working of the Canadian Banking System.” The third is a compl-ohrnslvc review of "Employ- ment and Marketing Problems" by Mr. G. Frank Beer, of Toronto. Mr. Macbcorrs articles are texts of the briefs which he presented before the Royal Commission on Banking and Currency Notes By The Way The other uuy the town corpora- tion of Waterford, Ireland, discus- sed the question of fuel supplies. The street committee xeoonunend- ed that the lowest tender: for Brit- ish and continental con-l should be accepted One alderman pointed Out that coal from the United Kingdom is infinitely better than coal from the continent. Another malnbe of Council opposed the pur- chase of British fuel on the ground that the Free State should hit the British in every way it can. The Mayor remarked that it was rather peculia to have German steamers arriving at Waterford with hund- reds of tons of German coal, d‘s- charging it, going right across to England and loading there a cargo of British coal from Germany. Council decided by fifteen votes to flve to purchase only continental coal in future. This is surely a case of cutting off one's nose i0 spite his face. A memorandum ‘by Sr (‘ill-isle- pher Bullock, Secretary of Uh} Brit- ish Air Ministry, shows that since 1925 Great Britain has reduced her annual air expenditures by eight per cent. In the same period France has increased her expenditure by no less than 112 per cent, and the United States by 108 per cent. Brit- ish expenditure on the air amounts to only 2.2 per cent. of the nation- al budget; in France the proportion is 4.3 per cent, and in the United States three per cent. 1n a similar manner the Mother country has, for the sake of world peace, reduc- ed her naval and land forces to a dangerous degree-to a for greater deg-roe than other nations if we consider the requirements of a world wide Dnplre and her own dependence upon the safety of the higllseas for her very good supplies. That is why Admiral Lord Beatty has just sounded a note of warning. What is happening in the United states, and all that is happening, is that the Government is trying t0 do for business what business re- fused to do for itself. This does not mean that private profits are to be abolished, or that thrift and brains and industry are not to have their rewards. what it does mean is that the rewards shall be no more than just, that individualism shall not degenerate into license for exploit- ation of the public. The belief that a violent storm is to be expected when the sun cross- es the equator about September 22 goes back at least to 1748, and is ed States. Its origin is not known, but it may have been coined by sailors from experience of the West Indian hurricanes, which are es- pecialy frequent about that date. Statistics of gale frequency show that in Erlgland there is no espec- ial tendency for storms to occur near the autumnal equinox; on the contrary, they increase steadily in frequency from summer untiltmld- winter. The autumnal equinox may, however, be regarded as the con. ventisl beginning of the winter or stormy season. The belief in an equinoctlal gale is sometimes ex- tended to the spring equinox, March 21, but for this there is no basis at all. There is no need, says the Bong Kong Press, to emphasize the vital interests of the British Eimpire in this problem. Our Indian and China trade are involved and our position in MfllB-Yfl.

McNeely, manager). m: ELECTRIC RATE SITUATION Sir,—-'1‘he October 18th issue of the "Guardia-n” carried a. 181181111’ statement of M3‘. T. J. Coleman, General Manager of the Maritime Electric Company Limited, giving that company's viewpoint of the electrical situation in Prince Ed- ward Island, which he offers to the customers of his Company to settle the "misunderstanding" which has developed and which has been brought to his notice through let- ters in the press and from other sources. As Mr. Coleman's statement is, to all intents and purposes, an op- en letter in answer to the several letters ‘published in Charlottetown papers, criticising the Maritime E1- QQLIDXLQQIHPBHY’! operating arm- iccs in Prince Edward Island, then it would appear to be in order to continue the discussion with Mr. Coleman, through the same public channel that he has used w Just- ify the position of his Company. I have been asked by certain in- terests in Charlottetown to ana- lyse Mr. Coleman's statement and further to add whatever of inter- est I can that will be pertinent to this controversial question of rates. The figures which Mr. Coleman gives us have to be seemed as those shown on the Company's re- cords; they cannot be verified by thou who have no access to such records. In the meantime, let us take m. Coleman's statements of fact and his figures and see wheth- er these can be reconciled with what is the popular opinion re- garding the situation. The first few paragraphs of Mr. Coleman's statement would seem to be devoted to the purpose of showing, that while the Company has done all pomlble to carry on the Charlottetown undertaking as advantageously as could be arrang- ed for their customers, the Comp- any has not received equitable treatment: that contracts setting rates bctwee. the Company and the City of Charlottetown on be- half of the citizens, were not lived up to by the City. To quote extracts from Mr. Cole- man's statement: ‘Back in i921 the Electric Comp- any entered into a contract with the City of Charlottetown to con- tinue until 193i." ‘During the summer of i928 the City Council requested consideration of new and lower rates." "As of 5cm . 17th, 192B, contract was entered into." “This contract with the City. which was entered into as of Sept. 1928, was for s period of five years to expire this September." "Before the expiration of this contract the Government of Prince Edward Island passed a Public Utilities Act for the Province and - inuw United States, and thcte is no doubt that the payments already made by the British Government have far more than cared for the value actually given. In other words, the portion of these debts still remaining unpaid represents nothng more nor less than I part °' "w profits bl the American mllnmvfl manufacturers with W110!!!

"Under this law of the Pribvlllfie my Company was required to file rates w-liu the Commission and be guided by regulations and orders of the Coltllnission," > The implications in Mr. Cole- man's letter arc that while the Conmany had, a contract in force with the City, with some time t0 run, the City demanded an 81111-15“ mcnt, xvhich it got, and then the Prince Edward Island Government stepped in and look the matter out of tllc hands of the City olf Char- lottetovm. Right here let me ask when the Province relinquished its right t0 control the operations of this Company and gave the City 01 Charlottetown anything but the right to make any contract they might see fit to make for‘ the street lighting? Going back to 1808 we find that the Charlottctownllght and Pow- er Company was incorporated by special act of the Provincial leg- islature, to take over the franchise and privileges of the Charlottetown Gas Light conlpany who in 1887 were given the right to manufact- ure electric energy for light, heat and motivsjpower in the City of Charlottetown, Common and Roy- alty. In 1918, for certain valuable consideration, the Charlottetown Light and Power Company's under- taking here was sold to the Mari- time Electric Company Limited, in- corporated by Letters Patent of the Dominion of Canada, which then became the operating Company, not holding Company, exercising the privileges and franchise granted the Charlottetown Light and Power Co. While its Dominion Charter giv- es the Maritime Electric Co., Lim- ited power to operate in any part of the Dominion, that Company has to conform to any regulating legislation that may be passed by any Province in which it operates. The C. L. 5s P. Co., and afterwards the Maritime Electric Co., Limited had s valuable customer; the City of Charlottetown, on street light- ing account. It followed then, that when from time to time- the street lighting contract was renewed, it gradually developed that the mat- ter of-general rates was discussed and the City Council held the granting of the City Street Light- ing Contract like a club over the (Continued rm Page 10) Mox Factor Society Beauty Aids Created by Max Factor, Hollywood's make-up genius who for many years has been chief cosmetlclan to the screen and stage profession.

This interest or concern is only natural because despite the fact that it is only a. pump, simply receiving the blood and pumping it out again, if it stops beating fora ny length of time, life passes away. Now, there are many who fear that they might be afflicted with cancer, tuberculosis or a. stroke, but they are greatly outnumbered by those who are afraid they may have heart disease or who are afraid that they actually have have disease. This fear of an ailment when the ailment doesn't really exist ls call- ed a “neurosis", a nervous condition. Thus Dr. H. E. Richardson, St. Paul, Minn, states that cardiac (heart) neurosis is the persistent fear of premature death or of being an invalid because of heart disease. This fear of heart or other dis- ease is really in all of us and just needs the right set of circumstances to develop it. Any clrculnstaxlce— t: pain in region of heart, shortness of " breath, rapid beating of the heart, extra beats of the heart-may be the starting point of a heart neur- osis. Sometimes, when a patient goes to his doctor because of one or the above symptoms, the doctor after the patient out of it because there is really no heart disease. This method helps a. number of patients but srnally only makes other: more firmly convinced that the disease is there all right but that the doctor doesn't want to frighten them.
