"The Strongest Memory is Weaker Than the Weakest Ink." WPIDNESDBY, JANUARY 8, i947 Maker of Modern P.E.l. Probably the greatest statesman this Prov- ince has so for produced entered into rest yes- terday, in the person of the Hon. J. A. Mathieson, retired Chief Justice. No one was better ac- quainted with the rights and needs of this Prov- ince than Mr. Mathieson; he had them on his finger tips, as it were, and could enumerate and enlarge on them at any given time or place. He was o living encyclopaedia of in- formation on the history not only of Prince Ed- ward lsland, but of every province in Canada and the Dominion itself. He was recognized as an outstanding authority, and was consulted by statesmen and historians alike on both matters appertaining to Confederation, and to the re- spective powers and responsibilities of the prov- inces and the Dominion. So far as this Province is concerned, Mr. Mathieson was its practical preserver and up- builder. Prior to his coming into power, Prince Edward Island was on the down-grade, gradually falling into a position where it would have been a comparatively easy matter to merge it with Nova Scotia whence it came. When he first entered public life, Mr. Mathie- son foresaw the danger, and determined to face it ‘resolutely and to overcome it. After many years and many sleepless nights he evolved a plan and policy for the salvation of the Prov- ince, and gathered round him a body of stal- warts who steadfastly supported him in the at- tainment of his objective. These were mostly Conservatives, but included not a few Liberals who saw whither we were drifting, and were pre- pared to sacrifice party for Province. He took office as Premier in I911, the year of tho Bor- den Federal victory, and the two Governments worked as one in an endeavour to restore the Province to its rightful place, and to revive its Prosperity. Mr. Mathieson was a man of great determ- lnation, of indominitable courage, of clear vis- ion; he was an excellent judge of character, not easily fooled, and of steadfast friendships. He enjoyed the respect, regard and esteem of most of the statesmen of his day, and genera- tion; and this_was never more manifest than when he and Hon. Mr. Arsenault went to the I913 Inter-Provincial Conference. From Nova Scotia to British Columbia he had friends at Court, as it were, and they rallied to the ls- land’s support. Similarly at Ottawa, where he worked in association with the late Mr. Angus McLean, M.P., and Mr. Donald Nicholson, M.P. Mr. Mathieson had personal friendships on both sides of the House, which he cultivated for all they were worth to the Island, and consequent- ly when it was proposed to amend the British North America Act regarding representation, Mr. Mathieson was able to have our House of Commons membership fixed at not fewer than four, irrespective of population, similar to the number of our Senators. This may be termed tho charter of modern Prince Edward Island; for with that we also got through his and Messrs. McLean and Nicholson's efforts, our regular communication with the mainland rec- ognized as a Confederation right, and the in- stitution of the Borden-Tormentino Car Ferry as the first step in that direction. In domestic affairs, Mr. Mathieson intro- duced many reforms, not least being vote by ballot and the administration of the Prohibition Act by an independent commission representa- tive of temperance sentiment, which proved re- markably successful, and freed the administra- tion of many details and worries. In the position of Chief Justice Mr. Mathie- son ably maintained the dignity and reputation of the Bench so long associated with his pre- decessor, Sir W. W. Sullivan. lt may be said of Mr. Mathieson that he was the Maker of Modern Prince Edward Island, and his name will hold a foremost place in its historic annals. The Freight Rates Rearing lt is estimated that the present application I the railways lor a i!) per cant increase in freight rates will, if granted, mean additional revenues to th-e railways of $85 millions per year; and since freight rates in Central Canada are held down by water, highway and U. S. rail competition, this increased cost will inevitably fall chiefly upon the Maritimes and Western Canada. The hearing of the application of the rail- way was fixed by the Board of Transport Com- missioners for January B. The Provinces appear- ed before the Board on December 23 and asked for a postponement of two months, that is, un- til March 8, to enable them to prepare their cases. The railways resisted this postponement doing so, in the words of C. .F. H. Carson, their chief counsel, "with all the forco we can com- mand." The board, by a majority decision, granted a postponement only until February ll. Tho Provinces then applied to the board for on order instructing the railways to produce tho information previously denied them.‘ From the beginning, the railways, in the phrase of Col J. L. Ralston, counsel for the Mari- time Provinces, havs sought to "hold the whip" over all who have had the tomerity not to op- pose-tho cass hos not yet roachsd that stogs —but to so much as question their application for an additional $85 millions per your. They have one the length of declaring that they are not ligsd to furnish information unless those receiving it will soy in advance, ”what ass they propose to make of such material if it was furn- ished." They avow a "compoll g urgency" in their own, as distinct from tholgublic interest. They dismiss all opinions which do not coincide with their own as having, "no bearing upon" or "relevance to" the case. They pilloriod the questions put to them by the Provinces as a "fishing expedition." The absolute limit in what has been a very high-handed performance, in- deed, was the comment of Mr. Dysart, counsel for the National railways, on the request of counsel for the four Western Provinces that the Transport Board should hold hearings on the 30 per cent application in western Canada. Mr. Dysart said: ”lf the request that this board go on a junket across the country and hold sittings at various centres is allowed, it will, I suggest, prolong the hearing three months. . ." Per- haps, upon reflection, the National railways-will desire to modify this attitude to the public. The Transport Board is now dealing with the formal motion of the Provinces for the in- formation which the railways have refused volun- tarily ta supply. The Board has the power to compel the railways to produce this information. Alternatively, the Board, if it chooses, can cripple the Provinces as to the facts in this case just as it already has hampered them as to the time required to prepare for the main hearings. It is worth recalling, as does the Winnipeg Free Press in this connection, that the Board of Transport Commissioners was created some forty years ago for the express purpose of establish- ing fair and reasonable freight rates in this country. lt is required to do so not from the standpoint of the railways but of the public. .-- EDITORIAL NOTES .- _ It is good news to everybody to hear that prices for fur pelts are strengthening—they were the only weak link in our production chain. i "k k I‘ The City "did itself proud" Monday in cele- brating Citizens’ Day—an event that will long be remembered in the annals of the Province and of the Nation. Perhaps the recent change in tho leader- ship of the Department of Justice has something to do with the delay in the filling of the vac- ancy on the bench of the Supreme Court. noun Evidently Premier McNair, New Brunswick, does not allow his prospects of becoming Chief Justice to interfere with what he considers just criticism of Premier King's policy regarding the Province's rights. More power to him. tfi i f ‘l’ . Every handicap may prove a blessing in disguise if looked at in right frame of mind. According to a manager of a movie theatre, queues are one of the finest social institutions ever introduced. Before the public was taught to queue it was a free-for-all, with the danger of somebody getting hurt.

The only men in the choir at the morning ser- vice in Ratho Parish Church, Midlothian, Scot- land, on Christmas Sunday were eight German prisoners of war from a camp in the district. The Germans, who had made an offer of as- sistance after a pulpit. appeal for more choir members, sang the English version of the Psalms, Paraphrases, and hymns. Wearing P. O. W. uni- forms, they have been attending the services in the church for several months. l‘ fi i i How many glass bottles do you buy, use, break, or lose every year? No one can answer this question, but the big glassworks know from experience that world requirements are increas- lng from year to year. One single Scottish glass-bottle factory, has now decided to in- crease its yearly production from 43 to I00 million. This tremendous increase, demanding a capital outlay of $20,000,000, will require a great deal of effort to achieve. In about 3 years’ time, that is before I950, the firm hopes to reach the one-hundred-million mark. yawn The late Rev. Dr. Ryan will long be remem- bered as one of the outstanding Methodist clergyman of the Province, for he ministered both in Charlottetown and Summerside. He was noted for his sincerity; he did not play poli- tics, ‘either in the pulpit or out of it, and hewed close to the line in the denunciation of what he considered wrong; at the some time, always ready with encouragement to tho tempted and fallen. He was an out-and-out prohibitionist, totally opposed m» to scripts, and on this score differed from such staunch Methodists as the late Ml. Henry Smith, Mr. James Paton and Dr. Harry Johnson who favoured them. lt was he who coined the phrase "blood money" to describe the revenue the Government received from the sale of liquor. aunt Bracken may now be added to Irish Moss as providing a new and profitable industry.

As the United Kingdom Government add: "If in spite of this reafflrmatlm of the intention of the Cabinet Mission. the Oah- stituent Assembly desires that this fundamental point. shouldbe re- ferred for decision of the Flederal Court, such reference should be made at o. very early date. It. will then be reasonable that. the meet- ings of the sections (concerned with grouping aniangements) should be postponed until the decision of the Federal Court. 1a knowrn ". It has also been made clear that the Un- ited K1ngdom Government. will not accept any Ooasttution which ln effect was framed by a one- porty Assembly 1n an mdeavour to establish a one-party State. Happily theta Ls no reason 10 BP- prehen-d that this declaration will prompt the Muslim Pamty to re- main aloof indefinitely from t.hl Constituent Assembly. although its attitude naturally hinges laagely on the Congress Party's reaction to the United Kingdom Govern- ment's declaration.

Furthermore, despite occas- ional evidence to the contrary, 1t is clear that Mahatma.
