Mr. McKenzie King Fails at Ottawa

The Sulnmerside Board of/Trade. after mucil correspondence with Mr. McKenzie King, has received intimation fronrHon. J. D. Reid. Minister of Railways and Canals, that the Government does not pur- pose proceeding with the stand- ardization of the Prince Edwazlrd island Railway this season.

it will be remembered that the Sunlmerside Board of Trade was. at least once. very forcibly told that it would be advisable not to confine the prayers for help t0 Mr- McKenzie King alone; that the Is- land representatives in tile House of (luminous and in the Senate, who ilinl infinitely lnore influence the government than Mr. King had, should at least be recog- nized inany request for rights or favours for tile province.

It is customary in every country for the government to give more attentie-ear to supporters than to opponents. The Bell government is daily exemplefying this: It might have appeared only reasona- ble to those members of the Sunl- mersldo Board of Trade who were ilctive in the standardization ques- tion to ilave asked the assistance of the senators and members of tile House of Commons wile were. supporters oi’ tlte government t0 bring the matter to the attention of the Minister oi.’ Railwaysdnstead they preferred to confine their re- prescntativcs to the leader of the opposition and attenlpts to boost llilll as lilo only friend of the Is- land at Ottawa. their deserts. in this connection the Sulnnlcrside Journal says:

“Prince county llns never had a meulhcr ui Ottawa that has accom- plished so little for the county as has Mr. KIX1§Z~~RRd as for the lion- 0r it is rzally to laugh.

"Long before Mr Kingwas con- ncctctl with P. E. island in any way tile govr-rlllncut gave this province an up-to-date transportation sys- iem llnd standardized the ruilwlly from Borden to Summerslde and (lilariottctown. This year it was understood that the railway wcst of Summerside would be standard- ized, but. it has been decided that tile work will not be carried on at present. 1i

There is little doubt but that the work would have been carried on had Prince County had ll real rep- resentative at Ottawa who would have cmplulsizeil the need for im- mediate standardization.

“M13 Killil. as a representative for this county has, so far, certain- ly been a failure.

At tile time of the bye-election had the people of the County only silolvn suffcicnt interest in their needs .0 semi n supporter of the government to Ottawa by acciam- mntion, no doubt our needs would have been recognized. but the peo- plc were misled ‘hy the King pro. pagandil~to their own loss."
