C. President... Bartlett Managing Editor .. R.Burnett FRIDAY. MARCH 12.1915. 0UR “ TRIPLE ALLIANCE " The proceedings in connection with the annual meeting of the Temperance Alliance this year were somewhat dif- ferent from those oi' last year. .A year ago the report of the Executive Committee was' published in the news- papers sometime before the meeting so that all who were interested had an opportunity of reading it and were pre- pared to discuss it when submitted by the Secretary. ln keeplng'with the new policy of the Secretary, the report was -kept a secret until read to a gathering which failed to grasp its import. Not only so, when a resolution was pro- posed by the Rev. G. A. Sutherland, last year's President, thotit should be referred to thc Committee on Resolutions for consideration and report, the Secretary lndlgnantly de- clined to countenance -such a procedure, which, he said. was equivalent to a vote of no confidence. As the report consisted of only two paragraphs, each of them just two- nud-a-half columns in length. our readers may gather what consideration was possible in a meeting where discussion was both lengthy and animated. Mr. Schurman would ac- cept no compromise, the meeting must swallow the report holus-boius- or not at ull. This is the some spirit which animated certain members of the committee which drafted the proposed amendments to the Prohibition Law last year. Mr. Donald Mcliinnon, in nnswer to hir. Bentley, stated that he had .suggested in the committee that they should decide _what amendments they were prepared to accept should thc Government not adopt thc whole of them. and was met \vith the reply “they must have all or none.” This is the spirit in which the Committee hoped to ad- vance thc cause of tctnpersuce. and this is the spirit in which Mr. Scliurman demanded the Alliance should accept his report yesterday afternoon. Contrary to Inst yt-aria custom no postcards were sent out inviting members to bc present. Why? Little that was new was ventilated by the officials. in an able speech, a report of which will be found elsewhere in this issue, thc lion. Murdoch McKinnon answered the criticisms levcllcd at the Government, and he was -support- ed by several speakers who strongly deprecated the at titudo adopted by the officials toward the Government. Yesterday's proceedings prove' conclusively that the best temperauce sentiment ol' the Province is opposed to the high-handed methods pursued in the past year. An official who would construct at paragraph of t\vo-and-a~half columns, cquul to 2,500 words. could be guilty of any ex- travagancc. and must bc'sudly lacking in at sense of humor. Yesterdays proceedings horc out what we have all along contended-tiist with thc Alliance. the tail is the thing. it is not the dog that controls its extremity, but the extremity that domiuntcs the dog. in this case thc ex- tremity consists ot` Mr. Schurman. Mr. W. I). \\’iison, and Mr. Bentley, with the ilev. hir. McVle thrown in to the bargain. Wo know the triple alliance in Europe, Germany, Aus- tria-liu.ng:».ry and ltn.ly-with Turkey as the inevitable ilrc-cater. Iierc wo have thc countcrpurt in Mr. Srhnrmnn, Mr. Wilson, and Mr. llcntlcy, with Mr. l\icVic as thc belli- gerent Turk. Just as the triple alliance have found that the peace- able and progressive nations will noi. tolerate their arro- gance and domination, so thcsc four gentlemen found yes- terday that the consensus of responsible temperancc opinion was utterly opposed to the dictatorial attitude they had seen ilt to adopt towards the Government. it was :lrlmlitcd on all hands, except by the most biased, that thc tlovcrnmcnt had n splendid tculpcrnncc record, and the iccliug was cxprcsscd that wcro thc Committee ot the Alliance to seek to work harmoniously' with the Gov- ernment. it would continue to meet with the .same success as it did before Rev. Mr. Wilson quarrelcd with thc Hon. Murdoch liiclfinnon because he refused to appoint the Rev. Mr. McVie prosecutor for Kiug’s County. vntidxussti’ nn; walt 1 Since the wnr began the question has almost continu- ously been asked. “who caused the war." and the credit or blame for it has been as continuously' repudiated by each of the belligerent nations. Notwithstanding the re- pudiation it is universally conceded that Germany and Ger- many alonc was responsible. And it is as universally con- ceded that the war was not the_outcomc of a sudden crisis but came as thc premeditated end of years of preparation. President Headley of Yale University attaches the blame to the spirit of the German universities rather than to the personal desire of the Kaiser. President Hadley ls responsible for the statement that Europe’s tremendous "schlagerci" comes from the rhyming of "lager" with “schlagcr" in Wuriburg, where the Wurtzburger flows, and other university' townsf Mindful of the stories about dueli- ing in German universities, and the commonuesa of the big broadsword scar on thc faces of former students, the world will be inclined to accept lladley's theory. ` But what bloody minds the .supposedly calm study of philosophy must develop! Berlin has, or had. nearly eight thousand students, and close to a half of them were taking the philosophy course. Of Bonn's three thousand the pro- portion was about the same, and so at Liepzig and Got tingen and llcidelberg. A third of the young fellows at Munich are or were budding philosophers. Perhaps the regular Kriegs "eccademien" at Berlin and Munich were pence nursers compared with the university pursuera of Kant and Plato. Dr. Hadley says: "The nation was apparently much more eager for wnr than the Emperor. The universities acted as exponents of the national feeling. Instead of trying to moderate the ual for v/cr, they championed it as their own. It is charac- teristic of modern Germany that the universities should Ilrdmuitentl rather than critics of public sentiment. For the universities are probably in closer touch with public opinion in Germany. than in dthsr country. and do more to that The 'contact of profess- problema is more dir- nntiolll fooling me a whole me no ammo mm tom to his the Q a negligible paper in German? .., with it.

Those are based on the idea that Russla’s wheat could not be S0! C0 market except under conditions whichwould en0l‘iil0ilBl¥ increase the cost and that without it \ ho demand ofthe market could not be supplied. Hence the prospect of hugo prices for wheat; hence the buyins “D 02111180 Qilllliliieli of wheat and hence. also, the fear that. the Dardanolles may be opened and Russirs 100,000,000 bushels be poured into the market. ' ' Next to the United States Russia is the greatest wheat producing country in the world. in 1913 she exported 103.- 500.000 bushels;lu 1914she exportedoly about 12,000,000, the remainder of the crop being held up' by the conditions crested by the war. The balance is now expected to reach the world's markets through the Dardn nelles. - An exchange points out that within. the past three years Russia has built a system of warehouses throughout its surplus grain country, by which the cereal crops have been carried much more safely. Movement to the .seaboard has been speeded. This fact will make the supply the more readily available when the Dardanolles are broken through. Russia's armies are largely moved to the front- iers, and railroads _are less needed for troops and supplies. Russia has within the past five years exported as muchas 231,000,000 bushels of wheat and ilour in a single year. Discussing the alarming increase in the price oi wheat in Great Britain-72 per cent. over the current price a year ago -Mr. Asquith told the House of Commons recent- ly that "after June certainly wheat will be available in sufficient quantities for all our needs." This was before the forts of the Dardanelles had been seriously attacked but the Premier of co\u°se knew then that they were about to be. He added that Russia had agreed to facilitate in every way the export of wheat. It must take time, how- ever. for the Russian supplies to become available. for Archangel was closed by ice, Vladlvostok was a long way oil','and Salonica, through which some part of the_ wheat was reaching the Mediterranean, was very poorly served by railways, and the supply ofrolling stock was not con- siderablc. hir. Asquith is very careful in his statements, especially when he is dealing with coming events. ills views should bo considered by the farmer, the dealer, or the .spcculator who is holding wheat for a rise. 'Pho Russian wheat deluge may come any day. When the Dardanclles are opened the Bosphorus will not hold out long. _ “T0 MAKE KNOWN” To advertise n storo is to "make known" u store. Ol' some individuals, the less your cally KNOW about them, the less you dislike them. Of some stores, this would be equally true. 1 But tho ADVERTISED store is “thc store made known." if it has short-comings, these will he brought to light through its advertising. its virtues, its claims to useful- ness as at service-institution, will also be PLACED IN THE FULL LIGHT. The good store prospcrs under the “advertising test." - The other kind does not. And the people know, and under- stand and remember this fact. This wcli-advertised storo is, necessarily, the store that can AFFOHI) TO BE WELL ADVERTISED - or. IWELL KNOWN AND WELL IINDERSTOOD. it is tbo ‘store whose policies are policies which prosper in tho iight, whose public scrvicc stands ovcry test, meets cvcry requirement. To “make known" your store, fully and unreservedly, _ is to challenge and put to route prejudice and indifference. SUGGESTED LEGISLATION The Legislature is not llkcly to have very much to do at tho coming session and in order that the members may not suffer from cnnui, we would suggest that tho follow- ing bills bo introduced as needed legislation in this pro- vince: A bill making opening day a legal holiday. A bill to widen and deepen the alimentary canal. . A bill providing a board of examiners of false accusa- tions and "secret dossiers." _ A bill regulating the strength of denunciation ol’ the Government for its alleged lax enforcement of the law. A bill providing for a close season on political job hunting. A bill permitting every. man to publish what hc' con- siders is his aeighbour's besetting sin’ while making it n high misdemcuour for his neighbor to impute uncharit- _able conduct to him. ' A bill making it compulsory for every man to practlco what he preaches, and every politician to perform what he promises. 1 LEST WE FORGET _ , “They introduced it (the Borden naval policy). upon the shallow pretence of emergency. Emergency? Who speaks today of emergency? Twelve months have passed since my Right lion Friend the Prime Minister introduced his measure. Twelve months and more have passed since that time when he saw the German peril. He saw Ger- many, almost ready to jump at the throat of Great Brit- ain. llc saw clouds on the horizon; he saw these clouds rent by lightning; be heard the murmurs and rumblings of distant thunder. But my Right hon. friend today may live in peace. The atmosphere is pure; the sky is clear. . . . the German peril has disappeared, if indeed there was. eversuch a thing. . . . I do not char go and intention of .deceit on the part of the Prime Minister in this regard, but I will charge deceit if, ia the face of the evidence, _wo hear again of such e. thing as an emergency. . . ."--Sir Wilfrid Laurier, in House of Commons, January 19, 1914. _ Noise 3.
