Evangeline
In writing of the trip of the Can
adian Weekly Newspaper party to
Halifax mention has been made of
the visit to Grand Pre .made famous
by Longfellow in his “EVangeline.”
The special train bearing the party
to Halifax stopped at Grand Pre
and were -shown ovei‘ the beautiful
park. In the little church, a re
plica of the original church are
many relics of the early French days
together with a priceless collection
of manuscripts. Cameras clicked
often as the visitors sought to
bring home with them pictures’ of
this famous shine. In looking over
our exchanges we found an excellent
description
ten by E.
Sun which
told that the penalty of refusal
was to be packed on-board ship
and transported io countries alien,
in language and religion; that
members of families were to be
cruelly separated from each other
that venerable old men and wo
men, and fair Acadian maidens
were to be reduced to a state of
beggary in strange lands. The
transportation of these people in
the manner executed was a. blund
er, and it is far more manly to
acknowledge it as such than vain
ly to attempt to palliate or to
excuse such conduct at which
when coldly viewed in relation to
its consequences, the moral
stincts .of mankind shudder,”

List to a Tale of Love in Acadia, . .
Home of the Happy
In the first part the writer tells
of the beautiful and happy hemes of
the Acadians; of vast meadows that
stretched to the eastward; dikes that
the hands of the farmers had raised
with labor incessant; of strongly
built houses with frames of oak and
of hemlock; of the life of the peo
ple, of their devotion to 'God and
to one another. In contrast to the
latter part of the story he tells of
the freedom which they enjoyed:
“Neither locks had . they to their
doors, nor bars to their windows,
but their dwellings were open as day1
and the hearts of the owners.”
.Here too he introduces the principals
in the plot, “The gentle Evangeline,
pride of the village, whose ethereal
beauty shone on her face and en-
'circled her form,” and Gabriel Da-
ejunesse, who among all suitors who
came was the only .one who was wel"

refutes many of the more emotional
writers, concludes:

HONOURABLE EARL ROWE
States His Party's Stand on Labor
The national policy of the Liberal-Conservative Party, Provincial and Dominion,
for many years has been to create industry for the purpose of providing work and
wages for labor and a profitable home market for the farmer; the lumberman and
other primary producers. The Party’s sympathetic attitude towards labor is evi
denced by the Social legislation on our statute books.
. . The Liberal-Conservative Party believes that labor should receive a fair share
of the fruits of industry and is entitled to organize in order to improve the lot of
the worker as regards wages, hours, security in old age and all other conditions of
industrial life. The Liberal-Conservative Party reaffirms its traditional policy of in
sisting upon the maintenance of law and order in all industrial disputes and pledges
itself firmly and scrupulously to uphold the laws of Canada.
The Lib er a I-Conservative Party in Ontario stands for the following:
1. The right of employees to bargain collectively
through their own representatives chosen Without
dictation, coercion or intimidation.
2. It is and has for many decades been a fact that both
capital and labor are International in their organization.
Accordingly the right of the worker to belong to the
union of his choosing, Canadian or International, craft
or industrial, is fully established; provided always that
the unions must observe, and that capital must observe,
in all their actions, the laws of Canada.
3. The Liberal-Conservative Party is unalterably op
posed to the introduction into Ontario of sit-down
strikes, sabotage or other violations of our law, and
for the purpose of clarity hereby places itself on record
as being opposed to such illegalities whether they are
introduced into Ontario by labor unions affiliated with
the C. I. O., the A. F. of L., or any other organization,
capital or labor. .
4. That representatives from other countries, both of
capital and labor, shall be subject on the same principles
as other people to our immigration laws and that tney
shall when admitted to this country, strictly observe
the laws of the land.
5. The primary function of the stale in all industrial
disputes is FIRST—to take no sides and to maintain
law and order without the display of unnecessary or
provocative force, and SECOND, to enact and impar
tially administer adequate legislation for the conciliation
of industrial disputes.
6. The right to work in Canada is not dependent
upon membership in any organization.
7. That no strike shall take place until all reasonable
methods of conciliation are exhausted and the worker
should have the right of secret ballot free from improper
influence or coercion in all decisions relating to the
dispute.
8. The Liberal-Conservative Party will continue in the
future as in the past to defend the principle of freedom
of association within the law. The party re-affirms its
belief that the essence of democracy is trust in the
people and to rely on freedom and not in dictatorship,
that public opinion may be led but not driven and
that the greatest safeguard of orderly progress and^
reform is the sound common sense of all classes of the
Canadian people.
I have stated frankly and fearlessly my party’s policy toward labor and law enforce
ment. I stand now, as always, for law and order, for all, under all circumstances*
This policy is the democratic British method and I shall apply these principles in
the administration of our provincial affairs.
