The Murray government has been sustained in Nova Scotia by the peo- ple and upon its merits. For thirty- four years it has been in power, us- Ing that power aright and doing so well that a conservative print admits there was little at isue between the parties. This is another way of say- ing that there was little to complain of, and the electors had really no rea- son to withdraw their confidence from the government. The most that could be said was, "It is time for a change." Well, the old servant is sometimes the good servant, and it is not a cause for rejection that he has been long and faithfully at work. Two comments only are One is that there was no federal in- terference in the election. Really? Is it posisble fo™the federal govern- ment to abstain from butting in When there is any apparent advantage to be gained? As a matter of fact the federal party exercised all the power it could, but, realizing the fu- tility of it, the attempt is made to ease off the effect by saying that it did not take place. The soldier vote was exercised, and the minister of militia made a flying visit to the Ma- ritime Provinces to exercise his daz- zling influence, and with the usual consequences, The second comment is that the opposition has suffered, but is yet fairly strong. There have been times, during the long reign of the Murray government, when the opposition has been smaller, as low as three in 1897 and two in 1901, and that was not a good thing. An active, alert and aggressive opposition is good for the province, and it is also the salvation of the government. True, Mr. Tanenr, opposition lead- €r, has gope down, perhaps not to rise again, and this at a time when he thought the outlook for him was so rosy. Another instance of the folly of counting one's chickens before they are hatched. NEW MEXICAN OUTBREAK. The Mexican war, following the demand of Carranza that the Ameri- inviteds SE [cal, giving Mr. Wilson a chante to pose for praise or commendation while an election is pending? It'is thus alleged. There fs a mohiliza- tion of the National Guard. For what? *. War, the biggest the United States has had since the civil war, and quite as ugly in many respects. The United States cannot say it has succeeded in its expedition against Villa; and it cannot linger In its ac- tion or there will be a clash of arms and a fight of some dimensions Mex- ico Is a big country. It haga popu- lation of perhaps 20,000,000. The '| whites are in a great minority; the Indians come next; and the half- breeds are overwhelming in their number. These half-breeds are un> educated and uncivilized. They are fighters, however, and very hard to subdue. A GALAXY OF STARS The Canadian Courier is perform- ing an admirable service when it re- vives reminiscences of the press. Some time ago it printed an article on the rise and progress of the Montreal Star, with special reference to the personality of Sir Hugh Graham, its creator and publisher. The man who wrote that article had glimpses of Graham as he is, in pri- vate and professional" life, not the Graham who is most talked of and Is best known as a political boss. The average newspaper man is vain enough to suppose thut his influence counts for something in civie, -pro- vincial and national polities, and Sir Hugh Graham has not hesitated to use the power which he possesses in order to make his influence felt. The second article in the Canadian Courier deals with the men who have been editorially associated with the Globe and have aided, each in his turn, to make it what it is, the greatest paper in Canada, the paper at least which has the largest cir culation, and, because this is the case, has advertising contracts which bring it the largest revenue. This article is a joint production of Augus- they deal with the marked and differ- ing chlracteristics of the six indivi- duals whose names will be forever and inseparably connected with the paper. Q. Six editors in all, say the collabor: ators, occupied the chief sanctum-- George Brown, Gordon Brown, John Cameron, Sir John Willison, Dr. Mac- donald and Stewart Lyon. The Whig remembers them all, and its editor has followed them with the sincere admiration which they have earned. Lyon is the most unassuming of them, and to Lyon is due the splendid ser- vice which the paper is today render- ing to the Liberal party. Others are referred to as having, at some time and in some capacity, had a connection with the Globe, but there is one not mentioned, namely, John T. Hawke, later of the Moncton tus Bridle and Britton B. Cooke, and | ern republic may political sentiments. ------ "a Mr. Bourassa says that the Gomuln Government of Quebec wil} be called down if & does not appropriate $50,- 000 for the b'Mngual school cam- paign.

Only about half the rate- payers cast a ballot. The result of the poll was: For the by-law, 134; against, 184; majority against, 50. Ibe defeat of this by-law Is a serious blow in the interest of good roads, as some of the streets and approaches to the town are in a dangerous con= dition, and after much consideration, the council fixed upon a method to raise enough money to put these dan- gerous places in repair. The aver- age annual expepditure on the streets is about $3600, and the estimated amount required to repair these street and approaches was $10,000, The by-law to fix the assessment of the Napanee Curling and Bowling Club was also defeated. The vote was: For the by-law, 191; against 172, the majority of 19 not being en- ough to carry the by-law. The funeral of the late John Me- Callum was held Monday. Deceased was 61 years of age, and was for a number of years employed as switch- man at the diamond by the G.T. Railway Company. He leaves one brother, Thomas, and one sister, | Anne, both of Napanee.

He was managing editor | under Gordon Brown, and no man in| Canada had a keener scent for news| , and acted with greater expedition when the contingency arose. He was editor for a season. It was not a long one, The writers" of the article refer to the Calvinism which affected the Globe under the Brows, and to the distinet place which the Globe occupied in the counsels of the church in consequence. Mr. Hawke was not a Calvinist, or a believer in any distinct religious dogma, at least to the extent of making personal sac- Fifices in its behalf, and hence he disappeared from the editorial chair. It is not a matter of importance now, because Mr, Hawke, changing his journalistic field of labor, be- came a Liberal force in the Maritime Provinces, and his transplantation was ngt to his personal disadvantage. It is a matter, however, of personal interest that he was on the Globe, and he should net be omitted from THE ALARM CLOCK The alarm clock is a vicious piece of mechanism which is used to mur- der sleep.

One has to recall the fact that when President Wilson succeeded to office Mexico was in a turmoil. There were three claimants of the presi- dency---Huerta, Carranza and Villa The first named was a usurper. He seized the reins of government upon _the assasination of Madero. Wilson hesitated before he acted. Then he regarded Carranza as the ryling au- thority or the one whom the United States would recognize. Huerta presently retired and Carranza as- sumed the presidency. Villa, 'cha- grined and disappointed; became a rebel.

Our national anniversary is-the least honored of all the days of the year, and this is, from a Canadian stand- | point, past understanding. The Federal Government is still truckling to the Nationalists. Does it still fear them? Does it expect another coup with their aid and as- sistance? Or is it simply providing | for as many of them as possible be- fore the day of reckoning comes? Germany plans to absorb Alsace and Lorraine---after the war. Can the country, by violence or law, ex- tirpate national sentiment, and change the allegiance of the people? Canada is thinking seriously over this question while it contemplates the performanges of gbme men in Quebec. - The chairman -of the Democratic convention in St. Louis gloried in the fact that no American home had been deprived of a son through the exigencies of the present war. He did not anticipate a clash between hurriedly,-or the Mexicans will sweep United States and Mexico quite so down upon them. Is all this politi-| soon.
