(Continued irom Page 12) The Mitchell Inquiry.

member ior nammeraiﬂe claims that the Mitchell inquiry was an uiiaok on the Hon. John E. Bin- cplir, ii he knows anything about it he knows better than that. The only course this Government could take wan to try to do lustice to the men who were iooled by this iman Mitchell, and protect also the interests oi this Province. i he lieve that no persons reading the rvporl oi the inquiry irom end to cud will lilnd by the questions ask- rd by the Attorney General any de- sire or inclination to make an at- tack on anyone. While the Hon. Mr. Sinclair may have been indis- crcet, mistaken, and misled, I do not believe that he was into lhiﬂ matter iorxproili. it was just a question oi being misled by this

liliill.

About the hon. member's sugges- iiun oi a iox experimental station. I do not -know whet he means by that. He probably does not -know that this Government has been dealing with this matter ior weeks past and it has arrived at the lingo where something wiil- he done. oi great importance to the people o! this Province.

‘llr. ‘McARTlHUR: I was criticiz- ing the Government.

lion. J. A. MMDONALD: The complaint was made that only two

oi the gentlemen on the Opposition side oi the House can hear well. Tlrnt may account ior their lack oi perception oi the peoples needs. l hope that it docs, because ii not they are sadly lacking in judgment.

'i‘,liey ask ii anything has been done to stop the withdrawal oi the agricultural grant. They cannot have much iaith in the Minister oi Agriculture at Ottawa. He stated positively that this thing was de- cided upon by the Dominion Gov- ernment. and there was no ques- tion about it. The N. Bl Govern- ment-a Liberal Government, in line with Ottawa-made very strong representations indeed. and tin-y were not able to aiiect the re- suli at all to any extent, and any representation that we might make. oi course, would not likely meet with ally more success.

Mr. Crosby a Figure Head?

The member ior lSum-meraide mndo one statement here that i think explains a great many things. it explains, atoll events to me. a great litany matters that I could not tinderst-nnd ever since l took charge oi ‘my department; ever since coming into lt and ﬁnding the chaos that existed, -ior the more I looked lt over and tried to straight- en matters up, the more evidence was there oi lack oi capacity in that ofilce. i am not a bit surpris- ed, therefore. ‘but rather enlighten- ed. in learn irom the member ior Summerside that the iormer Com- min-loner oi Public Works "was mcn-ly a ilgurehead." That cer- tainly will account ior many things that i found. There is n whole lot more than a ilgurehead wanted (hero! And the policy ol‘ DRlFT was without any question atrlbut- ablr to that one fact that the oiiice was presided over by a ﬁgure-head! l am not criticising my predeces- sor's ability. I um merely taking the statement oi tho member ior Sum- nu-rsido.

.\lr. l\lcAR'l‘-HlUR: l did not say t- wus merely a ﬁgure-head; -I said n some respects: l qnulliled it. ilion. J. A. MacDONALD: Ho is ' nlliylng it now. Why did not the

tention oi the department? Aasum- '

lug that his statement is correct.

HON. J. A. MacDONALD: .The does it not show very clearly that

something better in the way oi a bovk-lieellllll; system is more neces- .5811’?

Mr. McltRTHUR: Sure.

Hon. J. A. MacDONALDc- I do not kno\v that any better argument itor the need oi an expert account int could ‘be iound; the mattter is :ertalnly very important.

Unpaid Bllla

The member ior Sunvinerslde stated lust night something about an unpaid hill. There were hills ly- ing ln that ofilce irom the iall oi‘ 1919, unpaid. uurepudlatcd — just simply lying there. 1 think, and WY ﬂsﬂlll. that. something more than a ilgtlrc-head was needed; and l can say that as long as l remain there I will not -be satisﬁed to take Ji‘ act the position as a ﬁgure-head! (Applause) I intend to know what the department zis doing and how It ls doing it. and use my best judq~ mant in doing so, and I hope when we come to report the year's work it will be satisfactory. (Applause)

In connection with Prohibition. lt is pretty hard to tell where the member for Snmmerside stands. it seems like an attempt to keep on tooling the people. The Leader oi‘ the Opposition is on ardent prohibi- Llonlsi; the mom-bet‘ ior Summer- slde is on o iiliiereni. tack altogeth- eltPerhapa between the two of them they will hold both the prohi- bition and the’ liquor people!

Women's Institutes.

The splendid work carried on by ihe Woolen‘: institutes has been n: icrreil to. II have great iztlih in these institutes. Wherever you go. where there is an ‘institute, you see evidence oi’ their good work. especially in connection with our schools. and l hope that they will he extended to cover the entire pro- vlnce.

'l‘hero are many other matters that might. be touched upon, but l do not wish to take up time unne- cessarily. and these wili'come up in the course oi the session. The member ior Sunimerslde made re- ierence to the great intelligence displayed by the Speaker in listen- ing in his spcch. I think this is assuredly creditable to you. sir. ior it anus-t have required o great deal oi lillelllgcnce on the part 0i any Speaker to iollow the gentleman at all. l] think further i.hat a man who gets up in this House at this time and calls the elector-i, just because they happened to deieat the iBcil Government, a stiff-necked and perverse generation, must presume n great deal on the intelligence oi the Speaker oi this House! livould llketo repeat that the speech oi the me-m-ber .ior Sunmierside (lid not measure up to the piano of those who spoke on tho ODDK-‘Slllﬂll Slill‘ heiore. and i think that some ol‘ the criticism he mode brought home to some oi us the lull measure oi any man who starts‘ in to say that ho is going to talk "litrgo affairs," and talks instead only the smallest oi‘ politics, and takes the Speech from the Throne and criticizes a typo- graphical error here and the woni oi a comma there. And when he talks about “yapplng" and “elnllﬂ l may simply say this. that [never heard a more worthy exhibition oi yupplng and slang in this ‘House irom any member before. (Loud applause.)

HINK of it! At last the troublesome part of paper- lianging has been eliminated‘—a job of papering can now be clone in quicker time, with less disorder, and at considerably loss cost than ever before. ' Semi-trimming is the achievement of a century in wall- paper manufacture. In course oi printing, the selvage is cut for you. It‘. doesnot need to be removed by scissors or knife and straight-edge. You simply give the ends of ' the roll a rap on table or floor and the salvage falls off. Think what it means to you to save the time of trimming and to save the litter of sticky selvages. What is more, you are assured of perfect results. Being cut at the correct place, Stnunton Semi -Trimmed Wallpaper is easily z matched, and looks like one piece on the wall. There ls 7 no spoilage through incorrect trimming, either. '
