THE HOME, INSURANCE COMPANY Represented by ©. GIBSON, Agent, Dryden. Claims Kennedy Scores Editor Dryden Observer, I have read in recent issues of your paper (and with considerable interest) news items and editorial com- ment in regard to the silence and in- activity of our Dominion Member, Mr Dougald Kennedy. Mr Kennedy, for good and sufficient reasons, has many true friends in this district, to whom the 'News-Chronicle' article, reprinted in your recent issue, appears altogether too strong and al- together unwarranted, as shown by the just resentment of the Oxdrift lady. In calling to mind the success of the farmer-labour party in electing Mr Kennedy over two Port Arthur lawyer opponents, it is readily understood why the News-Chronicle article reeks with animosity. Such articles, while direct- ed at Mr Kennedy, are undoubtedly intended to reflect upon the Farmer- Labour party, and should therefore be considered as political propaganda. Those who have followed the News- Chronicle editorials in recent years will recall many virulent attacks against our local representative, Mr Peter Heenan, familiarly known as "fighting Pete." But the same paper forgot its animus on one occasion of considerable importance to the head of the lakes, and editorially exclaimed: "Had we at the head of the lakes Members with the energy and ability of Peter Heenan these cities and districts would get somewhere"'--truly a wonderful trib- ute to our local Member, considering the source of the testimonial. ! Now Mr Editor, if the Chronicle has any idea of fairness, it will surely give Mr Kennedy some little praise for what he has very recently accomplish- ed. after many months of steady and strenuous plugging. Immediately after being elected Mr Kennedy realized the absolute absurdity of the present fede- ral riding boundaries, viz., from the Manitoba boundary to within a few miles of Sudbury, but jumping the City of Fort William --clearly originally outlined as a gerrymandering proposi- tion. At a glance any person will at once realize that Port Arthur has not anything in common with the District west of Fort William, and for that reason Port Arthur could not he expec- ted to be satisfied with any Member unless from their own city. This is only commonsense. Mr Kennedy, altho not cluttering up Hansard with voluminous remarks, which in many cases is done largely for political effect, has been silently doing good work; and while in the re- cent re-distribution bill Ontario doesn't gain a single additional Member, Mr Kennedy succeeded in bringing about one of the greatest accomplishments since confederation. Not only has he succeeded in cutting this riding off at English River and including Fort Frances-Rainy River in order to pro- vide the necessary quota, but he has put Port Arthur tself in a pesition to have its own member for Port Arthur and Thunder Bay Dstrict, while Fort William has its own member also--a gain of one member for this portion of Ontario at the expense of eastern On- tario: a most sensible arrangement. I am in a position to know that Mr Kennedy has steadily and persistently worked on this proposition ever since the day he was elected; and although he has had some assistance from some of his friends, the credit is largely if not altogether due to Dougald Ken- nedy M. P. : It is well, Mr editor, to have a glib tongue. There are also times when silence is golden. At this time, how- ever, in my humble opinion, the entire District, including the cities of Fort William and Port Arthur, should thank Mr Kennedy for being largely instru- mental in bringing about this urgently needed arrangement, As the situation now stands, Port Arthur and Fort William each have} their own representative; the farming districts of Rainy River, Fort Frances; Kenora will have their own member also. In other words, from now on the candidate from. this riding receiving the largest vote will take his seat as Member, whether conservative, liberal, farmer or labour. No more dictation from the cities as to who the candi- date shall be--a perfectly satisfactory arrangement for all concerned, both in country and city, thanks to Dougald Kennedy.

At the evening service in the Union Church last Sunday, Rev. J. M. Beaton surprised the congregation by announ- cing his intention to resign from the pastorate, and his resignation is now in the hands of the Church Board. Mr Beaton apparently has not been insensible to a growing apathy in the Church, and in the hope that a change might renew interest, rather than that the work should suffer, he decided to sacrifice himself. In his three years of service here, Mr Beaton has impressed the most cynical with his earnestness and sin- cerity, while in the hearts of many he is ineffaceably enshrined as a true disciple of the Master he humbly sought to follow. In reference to the recent visit of Capt. Morris of the Navy League, Lt.- Col. C. G Williams sends the following message from Toronto: "Kindly convey to all in Dryden who subscribed the grateful thanks of the League for the donation, which will go toward League work and Welfare Fund for sailors."
