OCT. 3', 19l_ RICHELIEU. The bye -election in Richelieu last week resulted in the return of the Liberal candidate, Mi. Cardin. At the general election last year Mr. Cardin eon with a tajority of 734.' which eras ,•educed to a01 in the bye - election of Iter week. The reduction was effected mainly in Sorel, where the G-,vernm.ent shipyards Are lo- cated. The election was noteworthy chiefly on account of the extraordinary ef- forts made by Sir Rodolphe Forget oto bribe the electorate by wholesale. He is reported to have made the follow- ine statement in ;t ens, I during the camprign • 1 pledge my word of honor that if you elect Mr. Morgan on Thursday the Marine Railway will be voted dur- ing the Parliamentary aeasion a hich will open next month: And if the Govt-roment noes not keep the prom- ise. which was made to me in writing, 1 will ask Mr. Morgan to resign his seat, and 1 know he will do it." Sir Rodolphe declared he had seen the Hon. Mr. Rogers. ,and that the' Minister had given him a written promise binding the Government. Mr. Morgan was the Conservative candi- date. The tinge' of scorn is pointed et a poor man who takes $2 for hie vote, and he is held upas s terrible example of cupidity and dishonesty ; but what is to be said of a millionaire politician who 'tries to take advantage of the natural desire of it community to se- cure improved railway facilities and seeks to bribe the people with their own money? If the report front Richelieu be correct and we have been no contradiction—Sir Rodolphe Forget, instead of being on the thres- hold of the Cabinet, ought to iris in jail. THE ONTARIO NYE-ELECTIONS. At the bye -elections held on Mon- day- in Hail Middlesex and North Waterloo the two Government candi- dates were returned—(i. W. Nees- in East Middlesex and C. II. Mills in North Waterloo, The remit in the Waterlo.) riding was a foregone conclusion. the Liber- als having no candidate in the fleld and Mr. Mills chief opponent being it Socialist from Toronto. The Liberals tersely abstained from voting. In East Middlesex a spectacular cam. paign was waged. The riding has a Conservative history, the nottnal Con- servative majority being in the neigh- borhood 0( 500. At the general elec- tion of 1911 Robert Sutherland, the Liberal candidate, won by a majority of 25. the result being attributed partly to Mr. Sutherland's great per- sonal popularity and partly to over- eonfidenee on the part of the Conser- vatives and also to some dissensions Within their ranks. Mr. Sutherland's death necessitated the bye -election which has just been held. William Suthe'lend, brothel of the bate mem- het. Appeared As sat independent can- didate. and as he promisee. to support Mr. Rowell's policy of abolition of the ban the Opposition leader went to his support. This was lbs first electoral contest eta the banish-tbe-bar proposal, ani the Onverament torero costoentreted sip the riding to prevent fir. Rowell treat mooring a victory. Contrary to fie steal praetie., Sir James Whitney himself took part la tbe asinpaige, with several of his colleagues and say •amber of speakers imported from abet parte of the Ptroviso*.

It Bast Middlesex is any criterion, these tac- tics will be successful, for they will se• cure the entire support of the liquor force and all but a small fraction of the regular Conservative vote. Mr. Neely, the Government candidate, won with a majority of 540, about the normal Conservative majority in the riding. The (lovernmeut and its supporters are delighted with the result, while Mr. Rowell. the Opposition [Paler, states that be w%s not surprised at the vote under all the circumstances and that be intends to keep up the fight against the bar. UNEARNED INCREMENT. The prop•eity at the northeast cor- net of Krug and 'forge streets. Toron- 1o. was bold the other day for a price in the neighborhood of a million and a quarter dollar.. Taking the ;onge street frontage. tbis' means a price of over $11,(WU a foot. A little over two years ago the saute property cheesed hands at $7:45,000; twenty -flue years ago it wee worth pethape $150.01Mt. Most people, doubtless, reading of this transaction regarded it se an ie- tereetiog bit of evidence art the taped increase of land values in Totronte. How mane stopped to consider where the increase of slue cause fn.= The seller puts its his pocket a groat of half is million dollar, merely from holding the property for two yaws; Where did the half-rnillis,n comefrosa Did it drop ••aa the gentle dew from heaven" Science teat us that dew does not drop from heaven beat is dis- tilled arose to the earth : bud moo. omic science would tell us that neither 10 tbe profits from increaser. in land values drop from heaven. Like the dew, their origin is close 10 the earth : they coupe out of the toil and sweat of the people who prtouce—the farmer,. the factorymen, the workers of a)7 classes. it is the margin between their wager and the value of their work which wakes the landholder'* profit. Every dollar of that profit of half a million is represented by wheat taken from the soil. cattle bred on the farms, boot, and nails and furniture and other commonplace articles made it, the factories. The landholder does not take hia profits in wheat and cattle, and factory -wade articles- he takes these in cash in the form of tents; and the burden is passed on until it rests finally upon the pro - ductile, who can pees it on no farther. Tbe struggle For existence is keen because those who work do not get full value for their work, but have to •hand out a portion of everything (gen- erally unconsciously) for the support of thdse who, like the land-holder, take immense profits without doing any work. in Great Britain, under the legislation of Lloyd George, a portion of this unearned increment le appru- pristed by the state. So it will be in this country when the principle; of taxation are understood. EDITORIAL NOTES. Hon. E. W. G. Haultaiu, leadet of the Opposition'inthe Haakatchewan Legislature, has given up the fight and is taking a judgeship. The East Middlesex circuits appar- ently were lees intent on abolishing the bars than on abolishing the Opposition in the Legislature. The iron and steel manufacturers are asking for increased protection. Since the election of September, 1911, the protectedinteteats feel that things are cowing their way. So Whitney drops the proposal to enact 'u law to abolish treating.

Mr Heber Sasrnytb, of this city, who has spent five years abroad, mostly in Berlin.

It was not until he readied England on his way home that he kernel about the German war erare.

A writer in the current Queen's tjuerterly says that political tbiakiog in Canada is much behind p Iitical thinking in Great Britain and the United States. However that .may be - -and we bare seen the general elec- torate of both tbese countries) befn pled 1 y were cries --there wee certainty a lack of political robustness in (',nada a' veer ago when .o wsny were led to twlieve that a larger wraaure of trade with our neighbota would mean politi- cal an.otption. In reality true iris Pellet sentiment is tuocked by such rnbbfah. But it is not to the credit of 1111 intelligence as a people that "bogeyes" such as„annexation a year ago, awl the German war menace this year, can be so effectively worked. Those who ply these tactics assume that we are in the kindergarten stage of political development. Tbe genrr- atton'wbicn won the principle of re- sponsible government for Canada thought mote robustly. For years we have urged that Canada* participa- tion in the cost of imperial naval de- fence is ;t matter of duty, That is the honotable and manly ground on which any contribution to defence should be placed for the approval of the electorate. Sensation mongers have insisted that it should 'are based on panic over a thrilling, blood -curd- ling "emergency- of an imminent war between Great Britain and Germany, the indications and prognostics' ions of which pervade the realuie of Jingo. The activity of some 'ournala in work- ing 1 w ek- ing up a war -scare has passed into a hopeless obsession. so much so that they seeru to be disappointed that the rival navies are not already clash- ing, according to their program. 1n- forlunately, alar, the Borden govern- ment has adopted tbe "emergency” theory ; the word appears, as The Gazette notes, in the first official statement regarding Mr. Monk's re- tirement and indicates the MtPill oar which a contribution will be asked for. A teal emergency would, of course, imply a duty : and when that emergency comes it will be eztreordi- nary if Canada does not rise to the occasion. The sense of imperial it- aponsibility is grout ing naturally and instinctively with the expansion of our world trade and the development of our resources. We have a country to defend. and we must take our re- sponsible share in the coat of its de- fence. It is to this sense of responsi- bility that the appeal for a contribu- tion to defence should be made, and not to wasteful and lavishly reckless hysterics. which make us ridiculous in the eyes of the world.
