HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Signal, 1912-11-7, Page 2What About It, Sir Hugh ? Woodstock .sentinel -Review. During tatr reciprocity r.impaign last year The Montreal Weekly Star, owned and published by Sir Hugh Graham, made an appeal to the farm- rs of the country to save the Empire by helping to secure the rejection of the propo..ed trade arrangement, and it promised that if they would do this it would do what it could to reward them by assisting in ..-'curing the re- moval of the tariff duties oar agricul- tural implement.. in terse it should. be necessary to make a fight to secure this boon, The Weekly Star was pre- pared not only to assist but to lead. It made the solemn offer of a first sub- scription of 110.000 for the purpose of inaugurating ti campaign, should a casmpaign be necessary. When the fight in regard to reci procity ended in the defeat of the pro- posed arrsngernent, and. io . conse- quence. the salvation of the Rmpire, The Weekly Star announced that the first subscription of 110,000 for the campaign in favor of free agricultural impletnente .was available. Since then not very much has been heard about either the subscription or lite cam- paign. Sir Hugh (eabam and his paper have been very busy of late with other work. 1t is still necessary to save the Rmpire, it appears, for the Yankee menace has given place to the German peril, and, unless something big and prompt is done in the way of an emergency contribution, all the line work done last year to save the country will have been in vain. a Still, the question of free agricul- tural implements is an Interesting one, and may become even more in- teresting after the rountry has been finally and effectively saved. A word of assurance from Rif. Hugh Graham that the first subcriptlon of 810,000 Is still aalable, and some hint as to the time when the campaign against the tariff on implements may be expected to open up, would, drwbtlebe, be of in- terest to • good mane farmers at the pr.esnt time.

GODERIC'R, TBURBDAY, NOV. 7. 1112 WILSON ELECTED. At present writing all we know of Tuesday's elections in the United States is that Governor Woodrow Wilson has been chosen by an im- mense plurality to osrupy the ex- alted position of President for the next four years. it will be interesting to observe, from further returns. whether the Democrats will have con- •rol of lath the Senate and the House f Representatives, or the control of Congress be divided. if the adherents of the new President be in the major- ity in both Houses, the way will be open for the passing of the measures of reform which Mt•. Wilson has in mind. If the Senate remain Repub- lican, the policies of the Administra- tion may be defeated or thwarted. The election was fought largely on the question ct the trusts, and of the three candidates Mr. Wilson wan the only one who advocated the common-sense plan of rectifying the conditions under which trusts are enabled to oppress the people. He proposed to amend the tariff laws so that the shelter from behind which the trusts carry on their plundering operations might be done away with. There has been a great deal of talk in the United States of recent years about "fighting the trusts ;" but the "trusts still flourish. With the advent of Woodrow Wilson it looks as if the, fight were about to begin in earnest and if the new President is able 141 make headway with his policy -of assuring "the average man" a fair chance the politics of the United States may soon rival those of Great Bette& in worldwide interne`. At any rate, the people of the great Republichaa•e chosen as the bead of their nation a gentleman, a scholar and a etatesntan who will worthily fill the place which once knew Washington and Lincoln. THE LIBERAL PARTY OF ONTARIO. A sensational statement comes, from Conservative sources, to the effect. that Mr. Rowell is to be deposed from the leadership of the Liberal party of Ontario because of hie lack of 'menses in the bye -elections. It is. of course, purely the product of the imagination of Dome enterprising journalist. The winning or losing of a few bye-eler- tions is not the criterion by which the success or failure of a leader is to be judged. So far as Mr. Rowell per - atonally is concerned, it is not too much to say that his earnestness and energy have won for him the enthus- iastic admiration of his followers, and the fact that Mir James Whitney and other members of the Govern- ment have been forced to bestir them- selves more actively than ever before in defence of their position is an un- mistakable tribute to the fighting qualities of the new leader. Cireumstanoes have drawn atten- tion with especial sharpness to Mr. Rowell'spolicy of lar abolition. it is not likely, however, that other im- portant plank. of the Liberal platform will he allowed to drop out of sight. There are probably a good many Lib- erals who are not enthusiastic over that portion of the party platform that calls for the abolition of the her, but who have deep at heart the Liber- al encase in of her lines of effort ani who will battle earnestly for samosas along these Ilse. sad thus aside in carrying the esti-bar policy nip to .uece.s. To drop *Terytbleg else amd make the fight co the question of liquor legislation aloes would be to lose I he sap/ort of some active and wireeet bluets.

BOL granting that the num J Conservative %otos that may M for Liberal candidates because of the policy of bar abolition Is a large one, it would still be wise not to rest the whole strength of the party on this measure. but to bring along also and keep to the front other importaut pro- posal. to which the Liberals of On- tario are ow:omitted. Otherwise, once her abolition were carried, the Con- servative support would irop away and the result would be not only the fall of the party wbicb had baniabed the bars but not unlikely. also, the de- feat at an early date of the temper- ance policy ; for not to carry only, but to keep in effect alter it is carried, such a policy will require the strength of a determ'ned, united party. The issue of taxation reform is one that may web call forth the enthuse aam of enlightened men ; for it con- cerns the very ft.uodations of social wellbeing. Question. of educational policy, questions affecting the condi- tions of the great agricultural com- munity and of the workers in our fac- tories, questions regarding the settle- ment and development of the great hinterland of OntalFio--these are issues worthy of the best thought and most earnest efforts of the legislators of our Province, and Mr. Rowell has already shown that he is alive to their importance. There is froom for a tadical party in Ontario, and we have no doubt that Mr. Rowell intends that the Liberal party under his leadership shall oc- cupy the place. THE WORK OF PERVERTS. One of the most audacious Instances of journalistic mendacity has been given the past week by The Montreal Star, The Toronto News, and The Lon- don Free Press. A garbled report of a speech by Hon. Winston Churchill, the First Lord of the Admiralty, is published by these papers with the un- doubted intention of deceiving readers into the belief that Mr. Churchill en- dorsed Lord Roberts' recent alarmist speech. The introduction makes' the deliberate statement that the First Lord of the Admiralty "gave Lord Roberts solemn assurance of his prac- tical support." As a matter of fact Lord Roberta is not mentioned in the speech at all, but to bear out the statement in the introduction a quota- tion from "The Daily News" is tackled on in such a way as to make it look like* continuation of Mr. Churchill's remarks. Here there is another piece of deception. The extract is not from he well-known (Gaily News of Lon- don. which is a prominent Radical organ entirely opposed to the alarm- ist propaganda, bat is evidently from The , Evening News. a Northcliffe paper. It is in this quotation, which has no connection with Churchill's ad- dress. except in the evil scheme of the journalistic thugs, that a reference to Lord Roberts is made; and, ae every- body koows, the Northcliffe papers exist for just such purposes as this. in addition to all this. some para- graphs of Churchill'. address which are decidedly pacific in their expres- sion are omitted from the garbled ver- sion, and the whole thing is distorted in the most evil fashion. And all for the sake of making political capital by wickedly stirring up garde between two friendly nations. Evidently some Canadian uewspap- ers have sold themselves to the devil. EDITORIAL NOTES.

Of coons, if all the Wilsons is the States rated for their namesake, Woodrow of that ilk started off with a big lead. Some people have *eked us how the political parties in the United Stater correspond with the parties in Canada. Will it enlighten them to tray that if The Signal were published acro.. the line it would be redbot Democrat Our Tory friends said that reciprt„- ity would give the Canadian market to the United States farmers. But judging from Tuesday's event the said U. B. farmers do not seem to be at all grateful to Mr. Taft for his efforts in their,behalf. Canadians are exporting cattle to the United States sod importing pots - toes. If under reciprocity there were no duties to be paid on these gommo- ditted, cannot the veriest dunderhead see that it would be better for both producer and consumer? Woodrow Wilson does not claim to be s handsome man ; in fact, .o far as looks go, none of the Presidential candidate* has much to boast of. Beinnparticularly well endowed with brains, the President-elect could afford to snake fun of bis lack of beauty, and he is credited with the following litnerick on himself : F beauty I am not a star, 1 hem are others more handsome by hr ; But For iWam behind !tt salad it, 1 he people in trout get thejar.

The other day' when multi -million- aire Rodolphe Forget wiia making all sorts of wild promises to the electors of Richelieu, offering railwiys and things like so many head necklaces, did he ray that his authority was Premier Borden, or Hon. Frank Coch- rane, or Pelletier or Nantel? No, he asserted that the ratan who bad sent him there to bribe them thus was Robert Rogers. What had Robert Rogers, the Miu- iater of the Interior, to do with the • 0oostruction of railways in Q',ebec? Nothing except that he is the toss of the Cabinet and can get just whatever he wants. eep The shocking feature of the polili- he cal situation at the present moment vy is the easy way in which Robert Ro- 000 gers has thrown a sack over the bead t of the Prime Minister.

When a man conies to our farm to negotiate for the privilege of erect- ing a bill board or painting an *deer tisement on the barn or shad, the best tbingwe can do is to order him off the place at onee. Many towns and *vil- lagee are already disflgured by flarityt bl l lsoer•d advertisements. We regret that many farmer. have permitted their steadings to he similarly dis- figured. Let us not, for the sake of a few dollars, be guilty of disfiguring our farms and the whole countryside to advertise somebodsee wares in this offensive manner, the decrease in the value of the farm due to the pres- ence of offensive advertising will more than counterbalance the amount that the advertiser will pay WI for the privilege of disfiguring our buildings and fences.
