The active campaign now nn in Quebec under the direction of the Hon. Artnur Snuve. leader of the Conservatives in the provincial legislature, is prohabll the cause

erations in that province. Feeling exceedingly blue already over the loss of the whole Liberal west from their ranks. and impressed with the conviction that lf they lose Quebec it will mean absolute extinction. they are trying to off- set theturnlntz of the tide against them In their former home strong- holds. lest the only citadel of their political hopes be taken from them. There is so much of simi- larity between provincial Liberal- ism as they have it In that prov- ince and the brand as Interpreted by the Bell Government here, in what after the last federal elec- tion wits designated as "Little Quebec." that we cannot refrain from bringing them into the time light of comparison. Alter the re- tirement of Sir Lomer Gouin the Hon. h. A. Taschereau became Premier. and’ knowing the gener- ally clean rccord of his predeces- sor he. assumed. just. an our Mr. Bell did. the goody-goody form of promise which for the time being deceived not only his Liberal friends but qultc a number of pro- minent Conservatives, amongst them even the astute Premier Meighen himself. who at Toronto complimented his _ remarks upon unity of friendship between Quebec and the rest of Canada.

Added to this. "permits were issued for country places where Prohibition was ln force." and persons "WHO HAD BEEN PREVIOUSLY CON- VILTEI’) FOR. BREAKING THE LAW HAD BEEN GRANTED LIC- ENSES". and between political ap- pointments being made and their other manouvres it was "run for the benefit of the relations and friends of the administration.

Another of their goody-goody bubbles punctured by Mr. Sauve was that boast of honesty with which be started out. and for which be was claiming considerable credit nn account of having called upon f)r. Parrot for his resignation. But herein was his great default. The moat serious allegations had been made against this "Mtlnister of his Cabinet regarding the “exploitation of colorflna-tlon llnntle." These were ‘not investigated as they should have been but instead the Minister was quietly askcti for his ratlgnatinn. or a-a some would put, he was permitted to escape through the channel of n simple resigna- ton. As Hon. Mr. Sauve claims, "The reason this bus not been done was the fear that it might rc- veal that the manipulations ex- tended much mrther than the man who had resigned. and might even u-ffeot some of the ministers them- selves."

The following letter has been sent by thr- Central Kings Board of Trade to the management of the Canadian Govcrntnanet‘ Rall- ways:

LETTER

l). B. Hanna Estt. Toronto, ‘Ontario . Dear Sir.—- v

At the Annual hleeting of (‘ent- ral Kings Board of Trade hold at Georgetown. P. E. I. on June 6th. 192i. the following resolution was unanimously passed:

That whereas great Inconven- fence. and serious loss, is occasion- ed tn the business interests on the Geor;:etnwn_ and Souris Branches

neat and trim as when she carried us all from fBoston to Charlotte- tovm eight years before; nor was . the man who commanded her so considerate and oompanionable a sailor as this predecessor. Th8! was a fact with which I was lfllt-el‘ to become wqualnted.

Day alter day and night after night. for about a week I loafed and slept on the schooner. whtch a-l- ways was "going to sail early tlta coming morning.“ Wlthithe cap- tain. however, the conditions of "the morning after". There was bvermuch convlviality in the town and the captain had a convivial f disposition. It. was a ‘Friday even- ] iuw when he finally determined to break away. "You need not sleep on board tonight." he said to me. “for I will not sail before eight o'clock in the morning." So. for the first time in a week. I slept at home. By daybreak l was at the wharf and to my consternation the Eglantine was half way down the harbor. going under full sail. Knowing that the schooner was to put in at Sumersltle, 4'1 miles west from Charlottetown by land, to take on a. cargo r/f potatoes. l hastened home to tell my mother what had happened and hoping that she could devise a way for me to get to Summcrsidc. She was disposed to rcga-rd my plight us being possibly providcntlol. , There “'51s no railroad on thc ls- land and there would be no stage coach going soon enough to head off the schooner. which was like- ly to remain at ‘Summerslde only a day or two. .\f'_v mother saw no way to remedy the situationflThcn I shall walk to SummersEdc," I de- clared. She smiled. gave mo what money she could spare kissed me good-bye and let rue go. thinking. as afterwards she told me. that I tvould walk a few mlles- and then come ‘back. tired. on one of the farm wagons coming into town for the Ibusiness of market day.

I was about 6 a. ln.. when my start. was made. All the way nut of town. for about an hour. l met Wag- ons going into town. but was over- taken by none going my way. To- ward evening. as I was approach- ing lSummerside. l met all Lhe mar- ket wagons returning from that town to the farms where they he. longed. T-here was nothing of along narrow strip of sea-glrt land,

ying within a broad bay of the Gulf of St. Lawrence. north of the coasts of Nova Scclla and New Brunswick. There are many points of resemblance between it and Long island. especially in respect of their general outlines and their relation to the adjacent waters and mainland. Prince Edward island is the larger of the two, and its coast is more brokcn by lndenta. ttnns. About H5 ntlles long in its greatest length and 34 miles wide greatest breadth. it ‘has area of nearly 2.200 square miles. On the south it ls separated from the mainland by Nnrthumbcrlanvi Strait. a hotly of water varying in width from 9 miles to 30 mllcs. The Strait In its dlnwnslons and its general contour .ls similar to Long lslaud_ while the Sound lics north of Long Island. The Strait brottdens as it extends toward the west while Lung Island Sound broadens us it extends toward the east. The north shore of Prince Edward island. like the south shore of Lung Ishnd, ls low and is marked by the extent of its nan-l dunes. its hilly regions show no eminence-s more than 500 feet high. The province is splendidly adapted to agriculture and its fisheries are s large asset. At the present time the population of the Island is much less than 100.000; In my boy- hood lt was about 110.000. it was the last of the Maritime Provinces to enter the federation of the Dom- inlon of Canada. 'It stood out for several years before it could be coaxed ln. Its distant island neighbor, Newfoundland. stlll maln- talns its independence.

‘.ed only un alternate day's. leaving ‘the shipping interests of this part of the province absolutely tied up with respect to transportation faclli ties on every other day.

Resolved. That the liflllwll)‘ mnn~ ngement be urged to restore the daily freight and passenger ssrv- lce alwny-s provided in the sununcr ‘time-table of previous yjears. or il this is impossible to chunee the present syn-item In such manner as to prnvlde for dalzy movt-vtu-nt nf freight and trl-weekly passenger trains instead _of daily passenger nntl tri-tveekly freight trains as at present.

In connection with abnve resolu- tion we desire to press as strongly as possible the claim of the east- ern section of the lslttnd for a’ least as good railway facilities as our fort-fathers enjoyed. This ls ‘the firs-t time m a grout many.’ ytcars that such an inadequate service has been offered to our people in shape of n summer little-table and for several reasons we feel that It is quite unfair to oblige us tc put up Wlltl the hardships entailed by It. First: We were prepared to. and did ttct-ept it as a winter tInte-tnhie for some years past, fat-ling that while it involved great incnntmn-

lenct- in the matter of freight lYIIKlI Ing even during thc wimvr win-n traffic was light it would be abso- lutclv intolerable as u summer EGTFILQ.

Probably I am the only living American citizen who can boast wit-h truth of having once held it rod over the held of a future King of England. It was during the visit of Albert Edward.
