The Guardian argues for intelligent reporting in the upcoming provincial election set for July 26, noting that the date clashes with haying season and campaigning will occur amid busy labor. It emphasizes clear facts, preparation time, and a timely finish for the electoral process.
The piece argues voters faced with Bell government promises like Legislature pay cuts and poll tax repeal should judge by past performance. It contrasts Liberal claims of surplus with rising debt, recalls Conservative long-term work, and urges electors to weigh prior promises before voting in the coming election.
In a heated executive council report the Patron claims the city will receive its usual proportionate share of work on government property.

The author argues for true economy starting at the top and warns of growing municipal and provincial debt.
A reader argues that careless disposal of banana peels orange peels and other trash on sidewalks endangers pedestrians especially at night and tarnishes the city's image. The letter appeals to civic authorities to enforce cleanliness and safety measures to curb such littering.
A citizen lauds urban improvements and criticizes government for lacking suitable lodging for royal and imperial visitors. He notes neglect of Government House and urges decisive action to avoid provincial embarrassment, arguing such hospitality reflects on the Empire and may incur costs.
A letter questions the Bell government reassessment of lands in 1920 and asks Higgs and Duffy to justify appointing a Charlottetown resident as assessor and creating a new high salary post. It also asks why royalty school district collectors were replaced by a Charlottetown resident and why local Royalty collectors were removed.
