McKensle King vigor ously defended the record of the fe- deal government end replied to the criticlam which had been levelled at his wsdministration by, opposition critics, 'with particular reference to the financiel, $mmigretion and rail- 'way policles. The premier touched but briefly upon the forthcoming Imperfal Con- ference, giving as reasons for his , Teticemoce in this connection that he preferred to wait until the other prime ministers were assembled be- fore expressing his views upon the agenda and that Canada did not de- sire any change in her constitutional relations with Great Britaln or the other dominions, Canada Has No Grievances. "It is my privilege to go to the conference in the name of the peo- ple of Canada without a single griev. ance," sald the premier, "and to say that our relations with Britain and all parts of the Supe are of the best." In defending the policy of his administration, the premier claimed that the leader of the opposition and a section of the opposition press had been carrying on an organized campaign to discredit Canada. He referred directly several times to ar- ticles which have appeared in the Montreal Star under the caption of "The Whisper of Death," and de- clared that the subject of the cam- palgn was political and the conse- quences unfortunate and embarras- sing to Canada's representatives at the Imperial Conference, Where the Onus Rests, Premier King felt that thero were three themes in ; articular which the Montreal newspapers and Mr. Meigh- en stressed in the Commons, namely, finances of the country, the nation- al railways, and immigration. He entered into an analysis of the iin- ancial situation confronting Canada, and discussed the governmen"s rail- way administration and its immigra- tion policy. In replying to his critics, he admitted that Canada's burden was lab rut claimed that two- thirds of he cost' of governmon: tc. day either/arose out of the war or was attrfbultable to the previous go- vernment"s marine and railway poli- cy.

WRITTEN FOR THE WHIG BY ARTHUR HUNT CHUTE. 1 1 * Someone wrote recently on "The Danger of Great Wealth." 'What I fear most is the "Danger of Great Poverty." There is no ground for worry in Canada over the superabundance of riches. Lack of riches, on the contrary, causes many to be out in the morning early, to be losing sleep till late. Having a wholesome fear of poverty, I would not complain if it were raining millionaires in this Dominion. Most of the ineffable humbug uttered against riches is merely medio- crity and laziness expressing itself in the face of industry and genius. Tom, Dick and Harry, loafers at the pool-room, are not in love with success. To them, energetic effort appears as a rebuke. Hence their vaporings against great wealth. To hear the wiseacre at the cross-roads inveighing against the rich one might think that these same rich kept all their dollars in a stocking, like some old-timers. John D. Rockefeller on one creation was seated on a lawn at an Eng- lish country estate. Suddenly he was presented with a telegram which summoned him to London. ' The richest man in the world put. his hand in his pocket for car-fare, and it was empty. Where was the money of John D.? Not carried around in his trousers, not hoarded in -an old stocking, as the crossroads yokel would infer. His money was busy pumping oil trom Oklahama to Baton Rouge, in tankers on the sea, in the New York Central Rallroad. Over a continent, and over the oceans, his millions were tirelessly serving the people. Only to-day I heard some one ranting against Rockefeller's hoards; and here in Wolfville is Acadia College speaking before mine eyes of the good works that will follow that man. You may find the same in the Medical School of Dalhousie, at McGill, at Toronto, and at Queen's. Rocke- feller's money at work for the boys and girls of Canada. It we had to look to nip-chéese politicians for library, museum, poor indeed would be our lot. We need not indulge in any slavish worship of the almighty dollar. But to say that, does not mean that we are averse to good things. It is a notable fact that much of the cant on the danger of great wealth emenates from those who are conspicuous for their remoteness from that danger. A delivery wagon goes rattling down the street, a host of urchins rush after it pell-mell, all struggling for the tail board; one succeeds, the others fail. Then comes that yell: "Whip behind." When {Hese same urchins have attained to manhood, we hear thelr once again in their yells on the 'danger of great wealth." Not long ago I was travelling across to Battle Creek, to visit Mr. rence V. Barron, publisher of the Wall Street Journal. Going to visit Mr| Barron turned my thoughts toward wealth. In the Prince Edward H in Windsor, Ont., where I ppent the night, there were all the ap- pointments of luxury, but out of the window of the de-luxe dining room I beheld a row of tin lizzies, gaping at me. On the following day, out of a Detroit club, I noticed a row of limousines. He is both a prevarictor and a hyprocrite who claims that he prefers a tin lizzie to a limousine, and yet a Canadian friend, at the Detroit club, exlaimed with unction, "I am glad that we have not got those millionaries in Canada." "Ah," I replied, we have got them, but alas we Biveu't 'sot enough of them." = vind that the wore. vch-ial we have the more we will all have, I sald, "Someday, 1 hope to see as many mi Honaries In Canada as in the United States. We've got as much potential wealth as they. The. only tro is that the most of our wealth is locked up tight, and we will have to pay someone to unlock it." pay him a decent salary, and that's emough. Over a hundred. thousand dollars a year is too much for any man." . "AB, but can you imagine hiring out a Lord Strathcona. No, creat ive genius has its incentive in the joy of mastery. Make the creator a slave and hireling of his own creation, and thereby, for many, you will college or ill incentive." (Continued on pagh7.) WHAT CANADA MAY SUGGEST At Forthcoming Imperial Con- ference in 1 in London. THE POLICY OF LAURIER On Constitutional Relations Likely Be Followed y . Ottawa, Sept. 22.--Masses of data have been collected for the use of the Canadian delegation to the Im- perial Conference. For weeks past, experts have been at work, gathering and sifting. The matérial touches on all phases of the agenda; and, from various quarters have come sugges- tions and proposals for the extension of trade within the empire. Not all are before the conference officially. Some may not even be discussed, but, in themselves, they indicate the wide interest taken in schemes of empire development. Apart from extension of Imperial tariff preference--which Australia proposes to raise--the suggestions include: (1) Empire-wide movement {in favor of empire products. (2) Creation of an Empire Econ- omic Council to give consideration to problems of trade development aftér the conference has concluded its labors. (3) Employment of empire surplus wealth within the empire. (Higher income tax on investments outside the empire with taxation concessions on capital employed in development- al work within the empire are moot- ed under this head.) (4) Extension of credits. (5) Institution of empire currency bills as a means of combating fluc- tuations in exchange. (6) Development of national re- sources and co-ordinated action for improvement of technical research. (7) Organization of economic in- telligence and unification of the law and practices in matters affecting trade: (8) Development of inter-empire shipping and communications. Anni 4 Britain Interested. In the development of trade, Great Britain herself will be vitally inter- ested. Her roll of unemployed is her most pressing problem. To meet it. she has been driven to huge expen- ditures and appropriations in unem- ployment insurance, in loans to local authorities, in guarantees under the Trade Facilities' Act, in the exten- son ft credits under the Export Cre- dit Scheme and in the encourage- ment of migration to the Dominions. The last named-----that of empire set- tlement--Great Britain intends to press before the conference. Accord- ing to advices, she feels that the dominions should embark on a bold- er scheme. On questions to be discussed, Pre- mier King is reserving announce- ments of his policy for the confer- ence itself. On constitutional rela- tions, he will, however, it is under- stood, follow the broad lines of the policy of Sir Wilfrid Laurier in ad- vecating autonomy and the supre- macy of the Canadian parliament over Canadian issues, At the same time, it is expeoted that he will press for improvement in present methods of consultation end-epmmunicating information as between the govern- ments of Great Britain and of the overseas dominions. LOVERS WERE ATTACKED, ~ New York, 22.--Firemen Joined police, afoot and In auto- mobiles in a chase through West Central Park and the adjoining fashionable apartment district early yesterday in a shot-resounding hunt for six men who stabbed a young German immigrant as he sat on a park bench with his sweatheart, cov- ered his bleeding form with news- papers, and dragged the struggling girl off to a secluded spot. The couple was attacked shortly after midnight. Two hours later George Volland, the youth, regained consciousness. He staggered to the nearest park exit and collapsed be- neath a fire box after pulling the alarm which brought fire apparatus and police reserves. He may dle. In the ensuing search of the north- west section of the park two men were routed from a clump of bushes, Margaret Lachman, the girl, was found nearby, dazed. Pursued by a converging of pistol fire as other searchers joined the the two fugitives jleaped a 20 f cliff overhanging Eighth avenue, and fun up 103rd atroet. The police - leaped after them. Later they found Alfred Asksnoss, 19 years old, chauffeur, beneath a pile of lumber in the base- ment of an apartment.

To Be Com- pleted Saturday Afternoon --Further Awards. Crowds attended the Kingston fair on Friday despite the fact that heavy rain early in the morning ren- dered the race track unfit for racing and the events were not run off. The remainder of the programme, how- ever, was carried out, and the peo- ple found great enjoyment in exam- ining the exhibits pu patronising the famous M! The racing will be resumed on Saturday afternoon and the fair closes Saturday night. President Weller, Manager Bushell and the directors expressed their great appreciation over the manner in which the people, both from the city and the country, supported the fair on Friday. There was a little disappointment shown over the weather, and all endeavored to con= tribute to make the fair a success. The palace was jammed all day by sightseers who were glad of the op portunity afforded by the change ! the programme to examine at lols ure the wonderful displays and to witness the demonstrations carried out in many parts of the building for their information. The threatening rain did not mweterialize and by the middle of the afternoon the crowd reached the greatest proportions. -- Cattle Judging. The judging of the cattle, horses sheep, hogs and poultry was com- pleted on. Thursday, but all » the animals were kept on view until Sats urday afternoon when there will be a parade of the prize-winning live stock, including the famous herds of Black Angus and Herfords, that ox-. cited unparalleled interest among the breeders of cattle in Frontcnae county. '"'These are the cattld' we want on our rough land," said one farmer with many acres of pasturs land going to waste annually. "We might just es well have a fow head of Black Angus on every farm for when sold for beef, they will more than pay for thefr keep. Local beat cattle do not bring us the prices ob tained for western beef and the chief reason for this is the fact that we have never gone seriously into rais- ing beef cattle. We place on the markét our surplus stock from time to time, but as it consists of Ayr- shires, Holsteins and grades that we want to get rid of, we are invariably obliged to accept whatever we can get for them. If we gave a little attention to the selection of stock for beef we would undoubtedly be able to make a handsome profit by selling on the locai market." Milking Contest, Many deirymen were very much impressed by the statement of Hom. J. B. Martin regarding the low aver age production of the ordinary cow and feel that there is much work for them to do in breeding to de- Welop the heaviest producing strains, The results in the milking contest conducted on the grounds from Tues day to Thureday evening are: Cows of thirty-six monthe or over, firet, Baker Bros., Portsmouth; ind, D. 0. Kogers, Pittsburg; third, Baker Bros. Cows of thirty-stx months or undep, first, second and third prizes won by the cows of Baker Bros. All of the winners were pure bred Hol steins.
