The programme for t he entertainment of the' visitors includes an automobile drive from Borden to Summerside and we are informed by those who. have motored over this road, particularly over that‘ part of it between Ilortlen and Doull’s Corner, that‘, it is the worst piece 0f road in the province and, scarcely safe to drive over. A deputation consisting; of Captain Read, Messrs C. E. McDonald, W. H, Fa‘ lliontgtiinery and E. Crosby waited upon the gov- ernment recently and pointed out to them the need‘ this piece of road, espec-. ially in view of the coming visit of the Americani editors but so far nothing has been done and thati section of road, with its rtits and holes and gutters‘ is left as it to give the distinguished visitors their; of immediate attention to first impression of Prince Edward Island. Their drive ttTSttnnnerside ovei‘ the remaining part of the road» will be little better. If good roads are evidences of progress and prosperity then the reverse is the -case and our American gu ai‘e in their own country to good smooth roads will‘ ests, accustomed as they conclude that we are not yet far removed from the days of the forest primeval. This is most regrettable and there is no good reason why it should be so; no gpod reason, except deliberate neglect, why all the roads in the province‘ that need repairs should not have been repaired din», ing the spring. A gentleman who drove from Charlottetown to North Wiltshire informs us; recently that “Lartei-‘s Bridge” has all the spring been in such dilapidated condition that the driver is obliged to a- light and adjust the planks before driving his car over it. Similar complaints come from other sections of the province and the same reason is given for all, namely, unpaultinzilile neglect, The rotids last fall were, generally speaking, ini CURRENT COMMENT Will Premier Dell take notice. llis personal organ, the Pioneer.

A , plain intimation from the best ‘of advisers, its own press, that the Government can only preserve iti “self respect" by following the constitutional "step aside" course. They know that they have outliv- t-d their mandate. trangressed the laws of responsible government, and trampled upon the people: rights. And they know full wel‘ iimt their duty is to get out. lt further renuirks,— “Unless they are assured of the confidence of those whom they essay to repre- sent they scorn to cling to office." The Bell combination are fully "as- sured" that they have not thi “confidence of those who they cs say to represent."

A IHLIHI .\l .\ We note that Premier Drury of Ontario has de- cided that there are two Ontario Iiegislzituite, opposition parties in the Conservatives and Liberals. Acting upon tihs decision he has divided the stipend between the two leaders. The Dominion Parliament is similarly situated, Mr. Crerar leading the Farmers’ party, and Mr. King, the straight Liberals. It will be interesting to watch what course the g overnment will pursue in allotting the opposition leaders salary. In our leg- islature a similarproblem may arise. Mr. Arsenault. leader of the Conservative opposition has refused any to accept consideration for rpmuneration and we presume Mr. Brodie, lead er of he Liberal opposition wing, would also decline his leadership. d , ml. the question that , their salesmen as wen’ pend- l ing in relation to the manufactur- ling interests of the eountryn" Sir lRit-hzirtl Cartwright, prior to 1801i iunnouncrii their policy of "ilcath to the villainous system of’ protec- o\vn esteemed ‘ tnow Sit‘) Louis Davies, pronounc~ “'l'ii.s is an llflfiliftitltl sysitm in system ncctirsetl by God anti titan."

Not many of us would question this when we soberly think of the matter. But in action, how different our mood!

Mr. Fielding in opposing‘ the motion declared,—-"My belie! ‘s that if this motion is passed»- we would strike a severe blow at ‘me of the great industries of tho country."
