King's iilcgi of loyalty is to exploit it like other virtues for his own benefit. It is rarely that one catches hint, howevcr—as in this icasc——in the open act. He does things so smoothly. betraying his bosom friends with such adroitness that thev hardly know by whom they have been stabbcil. like Lord Byron's pirate skipper, he is undoubtedly “the mildast. mannered man That wer scuttled ship, or cut. a throat.” A Word Of Warning Dodger inréllit; While the C. C. F. appeal in 1\-I0nday’s elec- tion is likely to be small in i-his Provii a word of warning with regard to its re ig- nificance in Canadian politics may not be inis- placed. The fact is that this party holds a new and entirely alien theory of democracy and of Parliament. A C. C. F. member i: fr” to have hi: 02m views on an issue only roller: the arg- anization as a 1uliole, through its executive body, ha: extras-red no opinion. The real power of the C. C. F. rests with the party and its machin- ery, not with the elected man. The men who control C. C. F. policy, therefore, are men hold- ing office and influence in the executive bod- ies, not in Parliament. This is a direct denial of the basic theory of the British, the American and the Canadian parliamentary system. Our system grew out of the “litenagcniot of Anglo-Saxon England, and has never varied in its insistence that the member of Parliament is responsible to the whole country first and, second, to his own constituents -— that he is never responsible to any outside authority above or apart from the electors. It is based on the proposition that every constituency shall nominate and elect a man of its own choice, without any outside in- terfercnce, to represent it in Parliament with no strings attached. But a C. (i. F. member of Parliament is a delegate of the party, not a free representative of his constituency or of the whole people. A C. C. F. government would be the voice 0f the party convention. not of the nation. The C. C. F. theory of the party-above-ail docs not derive from liiiglisli democracy. It comes out of continental Europe. It has flower- ed there in VZIFlOUS countries in the one-party state, and its basic principle is in no way dif- ferent front that of the rlictzitnrsliips of which the world has hurl such hittcr experience.

For Fewer Spoiled Ballots In spite of every effort to make voting a simple procedure, it is probable that from 50,000 to 55.000 persons who will g0 to the polls in the Federal election will fritter away their opportunity to elect the candidates of their choice, by spoiling their ballots. This estimate is based on figures for past elections which have been compiled by The Canadian Press. In the last Federal election-in i94o--4,672,53i persons voted and 52,271 ballots were spoiled. With a heavier v0te expected in the forthcom- ing election, there will be no fewer errors, un- less greater care is taken. The Canadian Press figures reveal that the margin of error is getting wider, instead of diminishing. For in- stance in I925 there were 3,184,297 votes cast, but only 15,885 spoiled ballots —- about one- lialf of one per cent. In I926 there were 3,289,- 616 votes cast and 16,554 spoiled ballots; in I930, 4,016,600 and 24,119 and in i935, 45,821 were spoiled out of 4,498,496. The figures re- yeal that the one per cent mark was reached m i935 and passed in I940. \Vhy it is so many voters ignore the voting 190031 Peticil, draw a colored one or a fountain pen from their pockets and spoil their ballots by giving them “distinctive" markings; why it is so many vote for two candidates instead of one, (this is right 0f course in Queen's, which is a two-member constituency), or why is it so many put‘ down a mark other than the required "x", are questions hard to answer. The best explanation perhaps is that it is all due to carelessness and thoughtlessness. Aclllall)’ 111C proper marking of a ballot is n very simple matter. All a voter has to do is mark an "x" opposite the name of the candi- date of his choice, (two candidates in the ca" °f Queflfi). using One of the pencils in the booth provided for the purpose. Nothing more; nothing less. .-EDITORI'AL NOTES- New moon tonight may presage Government Monday. n- 3 HQ \\' lit Youth Sunday tomorrow — a British Com- monwealth institution. iii A suitable text for sermons 0n Election Sunday might not inappropriately be Titus I, 10th and 11th verses, King James version.

The shortage in teachers, which has already been fclt in other New England States, particularly Maine, has reached Massachusetts. This situation exists, despite the reduc- tion ln the number of pupils, and is due primarily to the fact that many teachers ave accepted more lucrative positions, temporarily, at least. School superintendents, principals and other executives are now appealing to high school graduates to prepare for the teach- lng profession, as it is highly lm- perative that ésomething be done before the sibu ticn becomes acute.

I want to stress n few points of interest to the farmers and fisltcr- men of Prince County. This elec- tlon should not be run on old party lines. It's not a case of Grit fight Tory. but it is whether we will survive and be able to do business or not. Should this present Gov- ernment be returned. (which there is not the slightest chance of). we will have to do as Premier Jones suggested in his speech in the Legislature here-move away from this Province altogether. In Col. E. H. Strong the Op- position has a fearlus and cour- ageous candidate, with ability enough to fill any cabinet. sltion. Let us elect. him with Government when ft ls fanned, to fight for the rights of the fisher- men, farmers and business men of this; Province. If there is one class more than another who should vote against the present Government at. Ot- tawa it is the farmers. A ceiling price has been put. on potatoes, which we are not objecting to, but there should also have been a floor price, just the same as the Government placed ln the Prairie Provinces on wheat. Jimmy Gar- diner takcs the credit of having that dune, with the result it is now costing Canada almost one hun- dred millions per year to make up to the Western farmers the floor price set on ivheat. which has to be paid out. of the revenue. And our farmers, fishermen and busi- ncss men are paying their share by outrageous high taxes. Do our farmers remember not so long ago that potatoes sold here for six cents per bushel? This is liable to happen again. Take the hlgh cost of growing potatoes at the present time, with the hlzh price of fertilizer fixed by the fertilizer companies. with no doubt the approval of the Government for farmers now paying six or seven dollars per ton more for their fertilizer than they should be paying. They have-no say in the matter at all, as the price the manufacturer gets, also the whole- sale dealer. and the price the farin- ers have to pay for ft, ls ail ar- ranged before hand. How long are we going to put up with this? Now we have the remedy in your hands, vote in the Bracken Government. and. if they do not. change this outraaeous state of affairs, kick them out. too at the next opportunity. Here ls another matter which I would ask you to consider. You may have read the report. of the Carroll Commission brought down last week. This commission was appointed by the Government. to lnqulre into and make a report on the demand of the coal miners for a further increase ln pay, notwith- standing the fact that just. a little over a year ago permission was given to the mine owners to ln- crease the price of coal about $1.00 per ton and coke $1.50 per ton, I have been credibly informed that; lf the report of the Carroll Com- mission ls accepted, it; will mean a further increase in the price of coal- of about $1.00 per ton.
