ELECTION. ifthe counseleof Sir Wilfrid Iaurier had been followed, a referendum cam- paign on conscription *tight now be well under way. AN it is, the con- scription. bill has not yet posited its second reading, and then there will be the c 'ttee stage, which will likely take another month at least. It. will for pretty well on to the lot of Septem- ber before the hill bet -metre law. By this time, under Sirplan, the ballots on the referend , including thcuw front the soldiers in the trenchee, could be in Ottawa and the people would have given a decision that would be quietly accepted in every pal t tit the Dominion. When the bill gets through its final reading iu the Senate, say about the let of September. the Government will decide whether to proceed im- mediately to its enforecinent or to appeal to the country in it general ' - election for a mandate to enforce the tact. in order to avoid the serious troubles that will almost surely attend ;any attempt to enforce 'conscription without a mandate from the people, the Government will probably adopt -the latter course and call an election. This will take two months more, and the snow will be flying before any- thing will be done. If speed is one of the chief considet•a tions, then the referendum clearly is the better plan. But the vote on a referendum plight be adverse to 'conscript" , say POMP people. So it might, if the campaign were left to melt of the sort who mis- take invective for argument and who would rather frame their addresses io tern's of abuse than in words of ap- peal. it would lr• the duty of the advocates of conscription to convince the voters that the need is imperative and that the way of comu'riptio is the right way and the best wa to meet the need. Such a camps' n might have an immense influence fi goad outride of its immediate effect on the conscription issue, in reviving the fine enthusiasm which has In sadly -waned during the past year, in bring- ing the whole people, from end to end of Canada, to a realization of the vital issues at stake ih this war, and in creating an atmosphere in which con- scription -of mien and of y alike -would be accepted as the nat ral expression of the nstionb deteruu a- -would to do its utmost for the winning of the war. If an election in held. it will not be possible to (Seep the issue wholly to the question of ronsc•ription. Many other questions will be in the minds °f the voters, party rind persona( cona'd- eration, will have weight., and when the election is over the fee'.ng against C4iuscriptiun may beetroneer than itis now. Above all an election on the con- scription issue is undesirable because of the racial aeavage it will leave in it. train. A Parliament elected on this issue will be divided largely on the lines of Ontario against Quebec, and the division will be reflected among the people, creating a bitterness that it will take half -a -century to allay. Canada, has already had far more than enough of this kind of thing, and if for no other reason a referendum were preferable to an election the oppor- tunity of 'Molding further racial strife should decide in favor of the referen- dum.

This is the kind of thanks a Liberal gets from a Tory newspaper for acting independently of hir party. Mr. Car- vell, while supporting theanuseription bill, exprestily stated that be took back nothing of his former charges against the Government. Stratford Beacon : It is said that Sir Wilfrid Laurier would get sixty- five seats out of sixtyflve in Quebec if s vote were taken on his referendum policy. It is also said that Bourasea and his Natioualissts would get the sixty-five if Sir It'ilfr•id had joined with Border* in his conscription policy and if a vote were taken. For this latter to happen would mean na- tional disaster The Quebec Nation - allot patty built up so industriously by Tory gold and influence in 1911 would then conte dangerously near controlling the Federal Parliament. In fairness to Sir Wilfrid Laurier it must be admitteti that iu determining his,attitude on the conscription bill he was forced to take into al:c ount this eventuality. The Nationalist worm warmed by the 1911 Tories to beat Laurier shows signs of developing lilt° a serpent which will create much strife in ('*nada and greatly embarrass the country in the prosecution of the war. Truly, as the 1911 Tories sowed, Canada must reap. — WAR PRQSPERITY Lessons From The American Civil War r- uRl N(1 the year 1916 Cased taxa edbie to secure 'Fella From 1663 to added mote than tae hundred 1865 immigration from Europe to the millions of dollars to their hank United States lalcreaaed at a rapid !epochs.

A raw joke 1 The Militia Act is for the defence of ()amide, and my interpretation of the law is that Oanad• does not mean somewhere in France, Let Bolden take ca. a of his own war baby. Don't leave it on ray doorstep. it's a poor puling thing anyway. Any fellow that wants to fight it can find three places to knock a out. It rests with the Governor -in -Council to bring it into furze. That probably means that it there is a successful election be- tween now and October the Bordeo Government will forget all about it. As a matter of tact, couscription looks more like a promise than a threat. It won't hurt Quebec. But it does pinch her tail ! That's what Bob Rogers intended it for. He wasn't thinking so much about win- ning the war as winning an election. i have no doubt he is vastly pleased to bear the screams ot rage from Henri Bourassa, and the bowie ot anguish trout Armand Lavergne, and of 1'ancred Marsil gnashing his teeth, and all the other cacophonous idiots perforating as per schedule.

I'm cock of the walk yet, and Leader Rowell and the other Meters will have to wait their turn. it way be for years and it may he forever. I'm sorry we have two Christian Guardians instead of two Liberal newspapers in Toronto, but i suppoee it can't be helped. The best we can hope is that the let -us - pray crowd will be conflated to Toronto fora long time. They tell me they open the Toronto "Star" with prayer and close the Toronto “Globe" with the doxology. it sounds reasonable. Leader Rowell is not without poli - God acumen, though posees.ed of a high falsetto voice.
