There is some hint of fraudulent voting on the side of re». peal, which, is perhaps too well foun- ded. At best however the election was a very close one. in the event of repeal of the constitutional prohi- bition article, it seems likely that a local option law will be enacted, un- der which the country districts will remain legally "dry" while the cities, or some of them may fall into the license column. _ Things may. not be very much worse than they have been in the cities, es- pecially in those where the operation of the prohibitory law had been bro- ken down. But we count confidently on a rea¢1;i0n.fr0m the flood tide which the anti-prohibitionists have been able to raise during the past few months. As is well known from our own experience' here, neither state nor principal prohibition can be expected to be as effective as a na- tional measure, which the temperance hosts in both the United States and Canada have so long desired and, which they will yet achieve, although it may be delayed. DON’T BET ON THE ELECTION. 'There are few more immoral votes than- those far _ too common votes, upon the result of an election. They arc usually made between two Def* sons of opposite ways of thinking, when one having failed to convince the other offers to back his opinion with a wager. Very commonly the proposed election het is a bluff, the acceptance of which is not expected, but may bc boasted of afterwards. Who has not heard the swaggering boast, “I offered to bet him ten dol- lars or n hundred dollars, but hc de- clined. Money talks,” _and so on. All betting on elections is immoral for the following among other reas» ons: It is an appeal _to the pocket on a matter which should be decided by the intellect and the conscience. lt places the man who bets in a position where his vote cannot be as free and independent as he was be- fore. I-lc has a new interest in the result of thc contest, which interest is not that of his country, or of morality, or right. In some cases a bet is a distinct bribe, as when it comes in the form of, "I will bet you five dollars that. you will not vote for Mr. Blank, you to tell me xzfterwards as a man of honor wheth- fr .you have so voted or not. This is thinly veiled bribery and the vot- vr who has taken such a bet could rot conscientiously take the bribery oath. Betting on elections is a vulgar practice illegal in many countries and leads only to evil and ‘ not to good. lt ought to be frowned upon by the respectable element of society uvcrywhcrs. It has in. it the same elements of chance and uncertainty that are met in the unlawful gamb~~ ling house, with added elements of political immorality. Many persons lightly offer or accept an election wager without seriously thinking of the underlying principles of the transaction. There are too many other base elements entering into our elections, notably money bribes :ind election whiskey. The betting cvil affects another class, too often those who would scorn the grosser forms of corruption. Think it over. ::-Ansco films are used and recom- mended by all expert photographers.

Stanley TENDERS FOR _ - C BRANCH RAILWAYS. _+ Elsewhere in this issue appears the advertisement of the Department of Railways and Canals calling for tend_ ers for the construction of a branch railway from 0'Leary to wear Point., and of a section of the projected New London Railway, 'the section Quang. ing 3} miles from Clifton Bridge to Stanley Bridge. We do not doubt that the action taken _ensures the early construction of these two im- portant hranches, which fact may be placed to the credit, of the members l"¢l"`¢S0¥llilD8 Prince and Queen's Counties. The people resident along these Projected branch lines of railway are quite as well entitled to railway ser- vice as some other sections of the Province which have long enjoyed the “m°- The? _have earnestly desired rail service, they have waited long Bild Datiently and we doubt not' they Wlll highly appreciate steam trans- portation when they get it. Usually the effect of railway connection is to increase the value of landed proper- ty as well as of farm products, and it may be hoped to do so in this case. The benefits of steam transporta- tion are based upon the lessened cost of haulage. Sometimes a very few miles of hilly, or muddy road be- tween the farm and' the farmer’s market is a greater barrier than a hundred miles of distance by rail. In the fall, winter and early spring the roads in most sections of our Pro- vince are far from good, and for this reason at those times railway service is especially valued. In cold and stormy weather, the traveller by rail is sheltered, and kept warm and dry and comfortable. In the far west railways either pre- cede the settlement of the land or follow the pioneer settlers very close- ly. Here in the districts now about to receive the full benefit of the steam road, the first settlers havel long since passed beyond the activi-l ties of this life and afsecond genera- tion bas, as we have'said, already waited long.

There In the discussion of reciprocity we must. not forget what the Liberals have done for Prince Edward Island and what it has meant from the dol- lars' and cents standpoint to have re- turned representatives from the ls- land in line with the Government at Ottawa. _ _ A consideration of the statistics which are given below and which were gathered after much research from the Blue Books, show that dnr_-I ing 'Conservative rule, the Public- works of_ this Province were Bl1M!1°'| fully neglected. _ The figures speak for themselves. They can be misrepresented,- they can be perverted, but they cannot be suc- cessfully contradicted. Everv ma” who knows how to read, can find them in the public accounts; They show that the total appropri- ations for railways, public buildings, harbors and rivers, in Prince Ed-, -.vars Island during the last eight years, of Conservative rule, were $228,302.74. For the same purpose on Prince Edward Island during the Liberal rule for the next. eight years. the appropriations were $4,567,- 331.89. In tile Marine and Fishery Depart- ment.the Conservatives spent, from 1892-96 including all services $200,- 000. The Liberals in their first four years," spent $522,000. Just $322,000 more. For Militia and Defence. the Con- servatives spent $22,000, from 1893-96 and thehiberals $38,000, from 1896 to 1899. Just $16,000 more in the three years. From 92-96 for public works the Conservatives gave us only $1,22,B0_0, the Liberals $147,500, from 1896-1900.l Just. $24,700 more. What the Liberals--’I‘ake 'l‘wo. From 1893-1896, inclusive, the (lon- servativcs spent on railroads $912,000, the Liberals $1,004,000 from 1896 to 1900. Just '$92,000 more. The above are a few facts in the Islu.nd‘s political history up to 1900. The people re-elected the Liberals. Did the grant of the Island show any sign of falling off? | Did thc Liberal Government consid- er that they had done well enough in the past and that they would let well enough alone. Emphatically, no! The Liberals gave us the greatest, public works in our history, the Hills-. boro Bridge that had cost $1,494,000 and the Murray Harbor Railway which had cost $1,031,000. They gave us the Minto, made the Stanley,” as good as new, and built the Earl Grey, ~the best ice breaking steamer that| the brain of man could devise today,| u steamer that will be an importantl factor in solving the problem of con- tinuous wintcr communication. The Liberals not only added hun- dreds of miles to the Prince Edward Island Railway, but they equipped it at a_ cost of hundreds of thousands of dollars, with Westinghouse Air Brakes, M. C. B. couplers, and the latest and most improved system of car heating. They spent tens of thousands of dollars for new rolling stock, built new car shops, machin- ery shops anll new stations, which are among the bcst in the Maritime Provinces. The Liberals built the Montague branch railway and are now com- pleting the Elmira Branch Railway. They are calling for tenders for the construction of the New London Branch to West Point. Mr. A. A. McLean says thc New London Rail- way is only an election dodge but the construction will be started this fall and the railway will bc an ac- complished fact, just as was the Mur- ray Harbor Railway and the Hills- borough Bridge, the Montague Rail- way and the Elmira Branch. The Tories spent on capital account on the Prince Edward Island Rail- way during twelve years $97,000, the Liberals spent $4,000,000 in the same time. They equipped almost all the line with heavier and better en- gines and steel rails. They made. conditions safer and better for xhe travelling public.

Tlicy granted all provisional class here to enable the officers to qualify with- out incurring expense and loss of time in taking a course in Quebec or Toronto. ' They increased the pay of the lnili- tia men all round 100 p. c. more than the Tories, after three years of serv- ice. They established wireless tele- graphy on ses, and shore. Tney subsidized steamers for serv- ice to outside points, including Great Britain. They straightened Tory curves on the Prince Edward Island Railway at a cost of tens of thousands of dol- lars. They increased the post masters’ salaries and saved to 'the Island twenty thousand dollars in one year by reducing the postal rate. They remodelled olir post ofiicc building. They gave a great impetus to agri- culture and every other industry. They gave the Island thc new EX- perimental Farm. Since July, 1901, the Liberals in- creased our subsidy $100,000 nycur, for all time to come, making n total annual votc of $281,939.
