l A LEADERS’ SINCURE
The l’atrlot has been complaining that $125 por month
is too tnuch to pay for u Premier, so it has with its usual
iiicorisisteiicy selected ti. man to lead the Opposition who
for five years has been drawing $583 per month for merely
endorsing the acts and policy ofthe Premier .during the
past three years. Whose services have been more valu-
able te the Province-Mr. lllatliiesotrs at $125 per month
or Mr. Rogers at $583 per month?

For unforgotten niotiths the Patriot has been wrestling
with the l’ublic At-couiits in an endeavour to prove to its
readers that the balance shown nt 'tho end of each year
ol` tho Matliicson adniitiisiratioti was a deficit, not a surplus.
l‘rovt-il wrong even to its own satisfaction iii every iti-
staiico, it in its yi-stcrda_v's issue. with cheerful idiocy,
goes at it again with the introduction. “Let us look at it
in another way ns follows,” rind pi'ot-cr~tls with the same
uiiwcarying and asiuino persistence through nearly two
voluinns of “looking at it another way." The “ other
wa_\"' provns to be the same old way and through the

the l’alrioi.‘s vision. Our esieeined contemporary is hope-

LIFTING THE MORTGAGE
\\llu.~ii thc Matlilcsoti Gov_ernment came into powor it
was faced with it million and seveniy-two thousand dollar
mortgage on the Island.
’l`hero was no prospect under tlto Liberals of reducing
this niortgage; on the other hand tho Island- was ticcuin-
ulatlng ii. further liability of $45,000 per annum.
Ruin! Stark, staring ruin faced us.
No farmer could call his farm his own, for thoro was
tho lion of ono inillloit and scvonty-two tliousiiiid dollars
on ovory fiirui in tho Island. ~
The Mathieson Government t-unto into power :intl in three
short years reduced the mortgage by $90,000.
Tho prosper-ts now are that in twenty yearn of (‘onsorvii-
tlvo rule, the whole of the indebtedness of the Province
will be wiped out, and cvory fnrnior will bo free and uu-
traniniollod by Government for public debt.
Who would go bark to the Dreadful Days of Liberal
Maladminlstratlon with tho mortgages, debt and financial
ruin?
No intelligent farmer would dream of it.

ONE OF THE ISLAND
A good story ls going the rounds in Vancouver at tho
expense of l’. IC. lslnnd. A short time ago a (lhlnaman
who resides ln the ward represented by Alderman Frank
Woodsitlr- in the (Ylty (`ouncll, was arrested for gambling
and he nt once sont for Mr. Woodside. The Alderman
ever retitly to do a favor for a constituent, even ll' he did
not have a vote, responded to the call and was asked to
fuse his influence to assist the Chlnk to light and llhi-.rt_\'.
lThe (‘lilnainan was asked where he crime from and ro-
'piferl "ilong Kong, mee workee laundry Summernldt>."
A bright itlcti occurred to the city father and he advised
his Chinese friend when he came up for examination lu
the (‘ourt to tell the t‘hlef of Police and the Police Magis-
triilr- tlint he crinit- from Prince Edward inland. ll is a
platter of record that the Clilnemsn followed instructions
and was given his liberty. The point of the story le that
_the Chief of Police as well as the Police Magistrate claim
P. E. island as their home. Who says the Scotch are the
only clannish people?

While the Grit office-seekers declalm vaguely about the
fextravagance of the Mathieson Government, they have not
yot indicated where they purpose cutting down expenses.
,Mr John Richards, the former leader of the party, was
‘given an opportuiilty on the floor of the House to specify
‘some one item of extrsvagance and he candidly confessed
‘he could not do lt. “ There was an impression throughout)
the country." he said, " that there was extravaganco.”
Tho Grit office-seekers have been working on this “lui-
pressjon" ever since, but the farmers and the business
people ure demanding to bo told just where the extrava-
ganee came in and they must bo told before election day.
The Patriot tipologises for Mr Richards' inability to be
specific “ou the spur of the moment." The Patriot has
liud three und a half years in which to think it out. Why
.'.iot say now where the pruning knife is to be applied?
Is Mr Rogers to have a salary when the party arrives at
the stage where it will need ti premier?
“ TEMPERANCE ” ON THE STUMP
That portion of “The Temperance Alilance" consisting
of Messrs David Schurman, Rev. W. D. Wilson and Rev.
W. 1'. McVic has taken the stump in the Fourth District
of Kings in Opposition to Hoti. Murdoch McKinnon, Com-
`nilssioner of Agriculture. These gentlemen. according to
the Patriot of yesterday, addressed a meeting at Beach
Point on Tuesday evening, and the theme of their speaking
was-not teniperance, but Hon. Murdoclt McKinnon. It.
has been said, with what'truth we know not, that the Rev.
Mr Wilson declared recently that he would give $2,000 to
defeat lion. Mr McKinnon. Whether lie said so or not
matters little.; the thing that will amaze the conscientious
members of the Temperance Alliance is that he and Mr
Schiirnian should prostitute their official connection with
the Alliance to the extent of using it as a. barrier from
behitid which iliey might attiick a gentleman, who hap-
pens to br a candidate at the forthcoming election. Mr
McKinnon has been a sincere and lifelong advocate of
teinpernncc and tnucli of what is best in -the present.
Prohibition Act is due to his. efforts. Thathe has incurred
the wrath of the gentlemen who used the sacred precincts
of a Baptist (lhurch anti the official position given them
by thc Teniperaiice Alliaticc, to make a cowardly and
liypoeritical attack iipoti him. is their misfortune, not his.
“Mr Scliuriniin," the Patriot report of the meeting
informs us, “quoted front the letter of Hou. B. Rogers
respecting st:-itcinents of lion. Mr McKinnon, which said.
“l beg to say that Mr McKinnon was either niisinformed,
or wilfully stated what was absolutely untrue, when he
said at a meeting in Montague that the Lleut.-Governor
had released three offenders from jail who were there for
offences, against the advice of the Attorney-General and
of the fiovernnteiil."
When Mr Schurmau read this quotation he knew that
he was quoting what was untrue. He knew it bccaiiso at
`a"previoiis"s'tagoofntlienpolitical"campaign_wlilch he waged
in the name of tenipcruncc and in which he matic the
sauio charge on the same authority, the Guardian had
exposed its falsity. lti the Guardian of Nov. 21, 1914. thc
official record of I‘roliibition reprieves was publlslied. taken
verbatim from the official jail records. The three cases
referred to are entered on the jail records as foilowsz-
“Mi-irgarct McKinnon. committed Nov. 19, 1913, par-
doned by Lieutenant-Governor Nov. 26, sentence three
mouths. Wliy discharged, on payment of half fine in
response to a nurnerously signed petition by lending citi-
zens. Note, contrary to opiulbn of Attorney-General."
“Robert Stanley, comniltted Jan. 2, 1014; pardoned by
Lieiitenant-Governor March 14; sentence, four mouths.
Why discliarged, purdoned for ft-iniiiy reasons as set forth
in petition. Note, contrnry to opinloii of Attorney-General."
“Ernest White, committed Feb. 4, 1914; pardoned by
i.icutenant~Govcrnor May 2; sentence, four mouths. Why
discharged, piirtloned for family reasons as set forth iii
petltioti. Note, contrary to opinion of Attorney-General."
Those who heard Mr Scliiirtntin's quotation from Mr
Rogers' letter can find out for thi-inselves by looking over
thc jail records whether the above excerpts are true and
what reliance is to be placed upon Mr ilavld Sr-liurmau,
who knew, or upon the memory of Hon. Benjamin Rogers.

lt is a comparatively easy matter for ti man. prtivirlcrl
lic is permitted nntl gets ri hearing in a chiircli, to call
