King’s Mistakes

Ex-Premier King, in his open-
ing speech, pave much time to
an attempt to cover up his:attack
on Lord Byng and to try-to blame
Premier Meighen, .. Ex-Premier
King made several bad mistakes,
first when he tried to strangle
the voice of parliament by asking |’
the Governor-General for permis-| -
sion to dissolve the House while
a vote of censure on his govern-
ment was being debated; second,
when, in a childish temper, he
resigned as premier and in the

the leader of the Conservative

an open attack on Lord Byng and
accused him of playing politics. |’
Ex-Premier King then took steps

completing the work of the ses-
sion or voting necessary supplies,
and by clouding the issue won
back sufficient Progressive sup-|*
port to defeat the-government by
a single vote, -and thus killed all
his‘ own ‘legislation, and the six!
months of the: session-were a
waste of time, money and effort.
Ex-Premier King is now: trying
to cover up his mistakes by bitter
attacks on.Premier Meighen..

- Straightening Customs: ©
One of the first acts of Premier
Meighen was to carry out the
recommendations of the Stevens’
Customs Enquiry Committee.
Hon. Justice Lemieux, chief jus-
tice of Quebec, will carry on the
customs investigation and will
make it a most thorough one,
Between Chief Justice Lemieux
and Hon. H. H. Stevens, minis-.
ter. of customs,, the customs de-

and they will make a real job of
it before they are through. They
will increase the revenue of, Can-

grait, ete.

Tourists and Tourists

Hoboes are by no means un:
common this season. -They drift
in on the different freight trains
and drop off wherever the pick-
ings look good. The housewives
are beginning to fear that they
will soon have to lock their doors,
something quite foreign in these
parts. ‘It is doubtful if many

people here can find a key to fit|:

their locks. This-is only one of;
the penalties of increased popu-,
lation.. The railway trains carry
free passengers as well as those|$
who pay, and.as long ag that is
permitted the country: will have
hoboes. The majority of these

unwelcome visitors are blowing | ——
