This bureau, when established, will be associated with the Domi- nion Department of Health. It is not necessary to remind our readers of the importance of this meeting; it is necessary, how- ever, to remind them that although they have al- ways been generously responsive t0 any calls made upon them on behalf of the ChiIdren’s Aid Society and other means adopted for the benefit of the chil- dreii, they have left the real work in the hands of the few officials. This is not as it ought to be. lon- ference, discussion of ways and means, a general system of co-operatioin-all these are necessary for the success of any movement and to this end such meetings as these should be largely attended. We trust our citizens generally will show their interest in the present movement by attending the meeting this afternoon. The children are our only dependence for the future. The men and women of today are going out one by one and very shortly the places they occupy in the civic life will be filled by the little menand women who are now in our school's, in our homes, on the streets. How worthily or unworthily the places now becoming vacant will be fill-ed depends upon the start we give them now. It is in order that this start may be well launched, that the future men and women shall take up their burden with sound minds and healthy bodies that this meeting is to be held this afternoon. The project is a large one; the amal- gamation of our present organizations with the kin- dred and stronger federal organization is one of the objects. Mr. Justice Haszai-(l and Col. S. R. Jenkins are sponsors for the present movement and they will have an interesting programme to submit at today's meeting. We trust our citizens will show their sym- pathy with the movement by being present. .'l‘lll~l I’.\'I‘RI()'I"S i:i.i'i~‘i= It is certainly amusing to see the Patriot rear up on its hind legs in feigned anger over the cri- ticisms to which it and its party have been subjected during the past few months. In its Saturday's issue it makes a" particularly spectacular demonstration, one of the blustering challenging variety which, it resorts to when it has no argument to offer. The in- dignation voiced throughout the country it attri- butes to the Guardiaifs criticisms; the “protesting meetings." it declares, are confined to “Conservative strongholds” and brazenly it proclaims that “the country is generally prosperous and contented,” that “all reasonable people are satisfied” and it “challenges” the Guardian to say these things are not so. Now. the Patriot knows this is “bluff” pure and simple; it knows there never was in this pro- vince a government that was so generally denounc- ed, so utterly repudiated by its own friends as the Bell government is and has been; it knows thatif an election were held tomorrow, it is exceedingly doubtful if any one member of the Bell aggregation would receive nomination and it knows positively that if nominated not one of them would be elected- As to its sophistry about running the Dalton Sanatorium “ata cost "of $160,000 a year" we defy the Patriot to find any reputable authority here or elsewhere who will place the cost of maintaining the institution at that figure or even at half of it. The $160,000 is the Patriots own estimate made for poli- tical purposes and is worth as much as its otherpoli- tical opinions. Its remarks on the Rena McLean Hospital are equally beside the mark. What did the Bell government do to restore the use of Govern- ment House to the province? What did it do to reme- dy the Telephone grievance? What did it do with the Telephoe-n grievance? What did it do with the Agricultural Halls at Charlottetown and Sum- merside’ What did it‘ do with the musselmud plant ‘t St. Peters? Will the Patriot enlighten its read- ers on these points, quietly, without hysterics or foolish bluff which only makes it ridiculous. Does the Patriot pretend to credit the Guardian with sufficient influence to arouse the storm of indigna- tion now sweeping over the province? Does it still believe th-at the farmers at Stanchel were lying‘ when they adopted that resolution condemning the government? . Does it think all the people are lying incompetent and most dangerous aggregation that ever held the reins of government in this province? _p~>q—w_>~. -..._.-|»-~_ EDITORIAL‘ NOTES.
