Popularity
of J. P. Mabee
Toronto Telegram
Western Canadians tell how
the courteous, unassuming common sense and fair play of J. P. Mabee
here filled the prairie shacks with his fame.
Saskatchewan hears how a
lone settler comes down to Regina with his grievance against the
Canadian Northern, half expecting to be laughed down by the
smartness of the railway lawyers.
But J. P. Mabee encourages
the man to tell his story. The lone farmer is heard as respectfully
as the most learned counsel who appears before the commission. The
chairman gets at the roots and the rights of his grievance, and
makes an order accordingly.
Hon.J. P. Mabee is building
up an enormous popularity in all poarts of Canada by simple process
of being courteous to all comers and trying to ddo the right thing
by everyone. And the dignitary who is popular with the masses
because he protects them who they are right is at least as useful to
the country as the dignitary who is popular with the masses because
he protects them when they are wrong.
