I'll fight for vou BUY VICTORY BONDS looking Pri u the youngest premiers Partner In History In the preceding articles of this series wc have discussed the out- lines of Sir Louis Davies‘ career. In doing so we have touched on many of the outstanding events of a half century of Canadian history, for his achievements have contri- buted much to that hbtory and his influence throughout the years has marked him as one of the BFi-‘fli men oi‘ his time. As his close friend Mr. Frederick Nash wrote on one occasion: "To attempt to even briefly trace the remarkable career of this gifted Prince Edward Islander would be almost to write a considerable portion of a history of our province and also that of Canada." The biography which has been written on Sir Louis and which, it is hoped, will appear in the near future. illustrates the truth oi’ this statement and treats the story of his life as that of a province. a nation. and a legal institution. It is almost impossible to over- emphasize sir Louis‘ service for nce Edward‘ Island. At all times during his long career he maintained a great love for the Province which gave hlm birth and which kept him in political life for three decades. Moreover this feeling worked both ways, for 8dr Louis was always held in the highest esteem and res ect by the Islanders who hailed h_m as their most distinguished son. Shortly after he was appointed to the Supreme Court of Canada, The Guardian held‘ a voting competi- tion to determine who. in public opinion. was the greatest man the Province had produced. sir Louis won handsomely. and so far his position has never been challenged. Furthermore, the great heights to which he rose never weakened his affection for his old rather enhanced his pride in being an Islander. and, in being able. through his own achievements. to bring honour to its name. Like England; rm Like England's Pitt the younger, he followed a distinguished father into ‘ and became one of in the hist- ory of the British Empire. With the Fathers of Confederation he saw a great future for the new Domin- ion o! Canada. and was anxious As did Giadstonein the Irish land questioh. he played a leading part the settlement of the biggest problem in the history of Prince Edward Island. Like Iiaurier he m combined school question roseto fame on the occasion of a which was settled by his own character and determination. His seven years in Provincial politics were crowded with important issues in which his participation revealed the qualities of statesmanshlp which were to carry him to the summit of public life. AsFederal member for Queen's County Sir Iouis was one .of the strong links between Charlottetown and Ottawa. Though continually occu icd with important national prob ems. he always gave a large share of his time and energy to his constituents and was never too busy to visit them frequently and do what he could for them. I-lc spent his summers at his home "Riverside" on the beautiful Char- lottetown waterfront. and he there welcomed all those who wished to see him on personal or public business. He made it a practice to tour his constituency f. tl and maintain close contact with "Jane. you're swell " Darrell gave her a hug Whv shouldn't. I And now. if‘ W weddinl tonight.

It is strong and sympath- etic, and capable or‘ wide ranges of expresion. But his earnest- ness is perhaps his distinguishing characteristic. To his honesty of feeling he owes much of the power which his speeches exert. It gives him remarkable effectiveness, even in the blase House of Commons. where the fashion is to attribute to partisanship the warmth in a speech which may be the glow of honest conviction. As a platform speaker he stands among the few best stumpcrs in the Dominion." As A LIWYGI‘ To his profession Davies devoted much of his talent and energy. As a lawyer he scored a phenomenal success from-the time he first started practice in Charlottetown. His persuasiveness. with a jury, was widely known, and it was not long before he had built up one of the most lucrative practices in the Maritimes- A juryman of the time wrote of him after his death: "If two men had a falling out one was sure to say. ‘By gad. I'll fix you, I'll get Lou Davies.’ He was a great Jury lawyer and could make the average Juryman cry." It was significant that he should have been made Solicitor General for the Island at the age of twenty-four. Important cases readily came his way, the two most famous of which involv- ed the presentation of the land question before the Supreme Court of Canada, and acting as counsel for the British government before the International Fisheries Com- forehead and an attractive smile.
