direction though a good many years ago i was driv ing with mary through a country neighborhood lrj the lower part of esqueslng and i asked a woman at work in her garden if she could tell me anything about a mr cobb who i thought had lived in thai vicinity i got my answer in a single sentence after we reached homo we pieced our recollections of 4hat answer together and mary finally reduced it to writing perhaps you can and it mary after a little search mary returned with her notes which she read as follows- y niean mr thomas cobb perhaps you noticed a small house about a rajle back although quite likely you wouiclikh on account of a row of cedar trees that mr fiahner set out the man they took a lease off with tho privilege of buying and perhaps if it hadnt been for her fath er a mr murcb who come to live with themi and was certainly the most unlucky person but who tried to do bis pari first by helping mr cobb in running the little hothouse busi ness that he waa doing quite web at until be trusted mr murch to sit up and keep the- fires going one oltr ter cold night and found him asleep in the morning with evorythlng froi- en stiff and became discouraged ana gave up and got him a job in the city coming home saturday nights and leaving mr murch to chore about the place which didnt take so much of his tlmo but what ho thought he might do something buying up fowl and dressing them for market and so hired an old horse and wagon and fixed up a coop and started out ono day with good success as far as buy ing went but not otherwise for the reason that when he was driving home after dark tho old horse got frighten ed axio ran v tho wagon against on old stump by mr langs barn spilling out the hens and breaking the harness so that mr murch couldnt mend it without a light which ho got by set ting a little grass afire but without his hens which wasnt tho worst of it as i turned outw th b had afterwards set- mr langs old barn afire and damaged him a hrindredjjal- lars he claimed which the cpbbs paid rather than have a fuss although itwaa a blow to them and made mr murch so dowji in the mouth that they let him go to a nephews oyer la caledon to recruit although i guess they vould have hesitated if- they had realized that he would bring home the scarlet fever coming down with it the next- day and giving it to the chil dren which with doctors bills and everything used up about al they had and led them to give up their- place and take a rented one in erin where they were going on the train the time the car got off the track and not a person hurt except mr murch who had both legs broken which you might think was the worst luck of all but didnt prove so far say what you will of the railways this time they were- more than fair settling iorjfour thousand and putting the cobb rlght back on their feetr and everyone glad of that pari andlmr murch gladdest of airrthat ho had been of some use at last with all prospering now or were at- last account on a little place

still far from finished the king government already stands convicted of having cooperated with smugglers bootleggers dopesters and thieves and of having thus been a party to defrauding the national

selling was engaged in on a large scale by customs officials whose duty it was to protect the treasury o corrupt officials were unpunished and promoted honest officials wefe punished and demoted x jj prisonmade goods are on the prohibited list yet tons and tons ot such goods produced in prisons where contagious 1 diseases were prevalent among the inmates were smuggled into canada for sale to innocent canadian consumers with the direct knowledge and cooperation of government officials 5 police officers members of the incorruptible royal canadian mounted were withdrawn from the quebec boundary line at the request of the smuggling ring honest traders had asked for increased police protection but the king government preferred to grant the request of those who were defradding the public revenue y 6 guilty knowledge even in 1923 of the frauds that were being practised has been proven against the kinggovernment beyond tbejsbadbw of a doubt time and again in 1924 and j925 the

35000000 per year was the result of the smuggling thus condoned by the king govern ment- o a 54800 loss was sustained in one case alone when mr cardin acting minister of customs and excise settled for 3200 with a dishonest importer who according to mr cardins own officials had cheated the treasury out of duties amounting to 458000 this deal was consummated just previous to the last election q free

the peak of th corrup anfl of this m with the bltection and tie administration of jjustice is provent by the evidence to have been reached just prior to the general election of october 1925 when at

frauds as a means of securing the return of the king government to power despite th fact ttutt with mr kennedy supporting them the liberals had a majority on the investigation committee that the chairman mr mercier wa a liberal and that the prosecuting counsel mr calder was a liberal candidate in the last election and despite the further fact that the committee sat almost daily for five months thus affording liberal members ample opportunity to uncover malfeasance on the part of previous ministries not one word of proof not one breathof suspicion was brought against the
