The people of King's County are justly proud of the honour ofa cali- inet mlnlstery brought to them fur the first time by their present and prospective representative, the Hon. John A. Macdonald. A seat in the cabinet naturally gives a reprcsenL- atlve prestige in parliament and more opportunity for recognition of- any demands hc may make in be-

unfair share of the common finan-

cial burden.

"This wholesale violation of the law was made possible by the coll- nlvances of c'crtaln officials entrust- ed with its enforcement and was for a considerable period known to members oi‘ the government."

This, from a non-political organ- ization; makes a deadly parallel to tho attitude assumed by our Liberal friends with regard to the mal-ad- ministration of the Customs Dc- partmeui... The latter take refuge in flat denial and contradiction: they make light of the robbery of millions and cavalleriy declare, as the Hon.

Mr. Mackenzie King's hope is to

groasivos and Independents. Don't give him a chance to have Canada again ruled by a uondescrcpt Gov- ernment. Give Mr. Melghen such a majority that group Government will be impossible.

Canada’ needs at the head of hcr public affairs the boat men she can send to Ottawa, clean men to serve under a. clean lPriixle Minis- ter. The lPrimo Minister is the Rt. Hon. Arthur Melgben, a man who has never lbeen charged with crookedness in public or private life. the ablest man in the public life of Canada today, a man trusted even lby his political opponents. He is the man for whom you vote when you cast your rballo; next Tuesday for Macdonald. Myers. Messervy and Wyatt.

And what a nightmare had been the past five years. especially for the lliarltlmes. When the end came it left only E. M. Macdonald to re- present our three Provinces in the King Cabinet and be afraid to face tllc cleciors again.

We sent from this Province four Llberaiis to Parliament In 1921 and two in 1925. And we had the nar- row gaugo with Us until the change of government. -Why was "it so? IWas it not because they were nar- row-gauge politicians? Rubber stamps to endorse anything that Forks demanded and King propos- ed! ' Tament of tame followers of a shattered Administration!

The overturn has -

The physician was able to cor- roborate the patients story by cou- sulting the family-

In fact the family had reached the point where they thought his "queer" actions. and violent tem- per. were the results of a crazed brain.

‘The specialist after making a complete examination found that his patient bad an afternoon tem- perature about one desree above normal, and an early morning tem- perature about two degrees below normal.

There was a generally tired out feeling, restlessness. befiacllea alld us mentioned above, a slight tem- perature.

The physician took a sample of his blood alld found that the white corpuscics were above the normal Ill amount, showing that the system had a foreign body or poison in it. and these little white fighters had increased ill number in order to give it battle.

Thus our specialist was lrnhlcd- latoly ill possession of facts that silnwod him thilt his patient was really sick. was suffering from ll

‘low form 0i‘ poisoning of some iklud. m"

Knowing that ‘the most frequent causes were from tho teeth, thou tonsils. thou intestine, then sinuses adjoining the nose, then gall-blad- tier, he started out to locate the trouble.

Tile X ray film of tile teeth show- ed four of his griding teeth to have abscesses at their roots. The re- moval of those seemed to actually cause all increase in the severity of his symptoms, so that his family were much discouraged. illowcvcl" be was handled, gently, carefully watched, the intestine kept regular. alld he was encouraged to get out- doors alld walk.

A month's time saw the change for the bettcr. In three months ho was at business, anti in six months he became ills owll old self, with from cranky spells. ,,

Now what would have been the course of this case years ago?

0-044 EVASION AND CAMOUFLAGE.

i

Sin-Mr. McKenzie King deolnros that the unanimous report of 111B Customs Committee did not con- tain one word which rbflected in any way upon tho government of which he was head. What evas- ion! What camoufbage! Does any- one imagine for one luoment that the four Liberal members on that comlnittee would permit anything to be incorporated into the com- inlttee's report which would reflect directly upon Mr. King or his Min- isters‘! If theybsd done anything like that the government would have been forced to resign the min- ute the Committee's report was presented to Parliament.

But Mr. King forgets to tell the people that the report of the Cust~ oml-l Comlnitteens it finally pass- d Parliament contained some ‘ERY SERIOUS REFLECTIONS upon himself and his Ministers. Here are' the words of condemna- tion which Parliament added to the Committee's report: “THE PRIME MINISTER AND THE. (wv-ER-NIIIENT HAD KNOWLEDGE FOR SOME CON- SIDERABIJE TIME 0F THE RNPID DDGENERATION OF TIDE DEPARTMENT 0F CUS- TOMS AND EXCISE. AND THEIR’ FAILURE TO TAKE PROMPT AND EFFECTIVE IIEMEDIAL ACTION IS WHOL- LY INDEFENSb-BLE." ' And a majority of the members of the Customs Committee voted ill the House of Commons to add these words 0i censure to the Com- mittee's report. In case this as- sertion is questioned I shall sub- mit tile proof. The Customs Com-i mittee was coluposed of nine mem-i hers of the House of Commons as follows: hiessrs. Mcrcicr. St. Pore Donagby. Gomlison, Stevens, Ben- Boll. Dollcet and Kennedy. Well, if we consult llanzard of Julie 27th, page 6018, we find that the following FIVE members of the above named committee voted to add tile above quoted words of censure to the C0lunlittee's report: Messrs. Bennett, Bell Doucot, Ste- vens and Kennedy, and the follow- ing FOUlR members of the Com- mittee uanlely hietssrs Goodison, St. Pei-e. Mercier and Donagby voted against the inclusion of the words of censure. The words of censure on tile King government quoted ilbovc arc llow part of lilo (Illstolus Commit- tees report, thcn what becomes of .\ll'.

KING'S BLUFF.

l

Slr,—lll a speech at London. Ontario ylr. McKenzie King stat- ed tbllttllc Liberals had taken ac- tion against a certain newspaper in Toronto for publishing adver- tisements containing charges against the late King Government in the (Ill-touts. smuggling matter. anti that thcy intended to take sim- liar action agulllst all newspapers publishing those advertisements. Did anyone ever know of a more transparent case of bluffing? Ev- eryone who has read the advertise- ments which Mr. King com-plains about knows that the charges con- tained therein are amply support- ed by sworn evidence taken before the Customs Committee, because in almost every instance the num- ber of the page of the printed evi- dence, which supports those char- ges. is quoted in said advertise- ments. - it la a wonder that Mr. King has not taken action against every Conservative candidate alld speak- er from Vancouver to Charlotte- town. And why has he not insti- tuted proceedings against a score or more Liberal and independent newspapers and speakers who have ileennluch lnore scathing in their denunciation of his mill-administra- tion of the Customs Department than any Conservatives have been For instance why has he not taken action against" the Liberal Toronto Globe the Independent MacLcanh

A VISITORS GLOWING TRIBUTE

Slr.-—lt was with a feeling of pleasurable anticipation that l looked forward to my second visit to ‘Prince Edward island. When last I visited it I was. to say the least, charmelLwith the beaut of its landscapes and senscapea, o , as one so often finds in this island where the sea is never far distant —the two combined.

Reaching s shores as -I did with a considerable knowledge of the many beautiful places in the world and without any preconceived op- inion. I must admit that the real- ity I found far surpassed my ex- pectatlons.

It was early summer. The land was clothed in "greeu—such won- derful greens. such a variety of greens. from the palest of pale emerald to the rich, dark greens, of the pines, in striking contrast to the deep, rich red of uuplougbed lands. I drank in inlmeasurable enjoyable of the beauty of her sil- ver glades, her smooth ‘broad Illeflllflwfl. and senscapes unsur- passed. I imagined the joy of tile painter at the sight of her startl- ing yet harmonious colors. The almost unbelievable greens, and red, singing earths uprising from torquoisa seas that lisped alld sang their chantics as they broke on sands of reddish gold. And over it all a sky of tranquil blue.
