Sir Robert Borden told a deputation at Ottawa the other day that an elec- tion was -inevitable. The Signal has all along been against a war -time election, and advocated a referendum on conscription in preference to an election with all its turmoil and bitter- n's* ; but it has no desire to quarrel with the inevitable. The present Par- liament appears to have outlived its usefulness and instead of giving the oouutry a clear leadership has been getting things into nasty snarls which it will be difficult to straighten out. The Government was at fault in not holding bye -elections for the score or so of Parliamentary vacancies. the filling of which would have tended to keep the House and the tiover•nunent in touch with the electors. Further va- cancies have been created within the past tw'o weeks by the appointment of members of the (,.minions to Sen- atorial torahs, in order to ensure a niajur•ity for the conscription bill in the second chamber, giving these appointees an opportunity of voting twice upon the same bill. At any - other time such appointments would have met with indignant censure from The Globe, but at present that journal appears to have its attentiop fully taken up with an effort to prove its consistency on the austacription issue. If these appointments are nut a viola- tion of the ind pendencfcf Parliament, we do not know what would I e. If the Government can hold out the prospect of Senatorial appointments t.it wen►ters of the Co , it can exercise a wrongful influence in behalf of any pet measure at any time. We do not say. nor do we believe. that on this particular measure easute the members in question would have voted in any case other than they did ; but the precedent is a dangerous one and should not have gone without challenge. Another thing which an election should clear up is the status of the political colonels who are drawing double, or treble, pay from the public treasury. Here in West Huron Chore is bitter eowplaint at. the spectacle of Lieut. Col. Lewis pocketing six or seven thousand dollars a year of the people s looney -money contributed to a large extent in taxes from pocket. which are not any too well lined. \Vest Huron's member is not the only one who is doing fairly well out of the war, while the common people are called upon for sacrifices, and an elec- tion will probably put a stop to what has become a public scandal. Premier Borden is [said to be work- ing fur a union Guverument It may be ver ; but it doesn't look much like it. Clifford Sifton was sent out to the Western Provinces on a crusade for ay" ewalition Government. Milton is the man whir betrayed the Nest on the reciprocity issue in 1911. and among Liberals he is about as popular as a skunk at a garden party. The result of his visit to the Prairie Prov- inces has been to solidify Liberal senti went in favor of Laurier. Another stumbling block to union is "Bob" Rogers. Premier Borden appears to be unable to get rid of him, and No long as he is around no Liberal with any regard fey his reputation will have anything to do with a union Cabinet. Pio it goers, one thing after another, until the prospect Of coalition or union between the parties is being utterly destroyed. ONTARIO ANU QUEBEC. Is The Toronto Star returning to its sense*, or ie it only having a lucid in- terval ? Tuesday's issue orad an edit- orial ertilae on the iii.purtanee of a united Canada and the danger of driv- ing Quebec into a peition of isolation. "A united Canada i* an •inn which deeervers to he promotid by every moral and intellectual fore. that we oan command," Wfie words, these of w The Star, and strongly condemnatory of The Star's own cave during recent weeks, l The Star talks of the threatened "isolation" of Quebec. It is really not, Quebec, but Ontario, that is -being isolated. It is in Ontario that the ape tts of racial hatred ale allowed to grow into the rank weeds that choke the growth of Canadian unity. The other Provinces are not eternally quar- reling with Quebec, and the people of Quebec foo not distrust their fellow - Cauadians in the other Provinces sr they distrust the dominant political forma iu Ontario. Politicians in On- tario have been allowed to trade upon anti -Quebec prejudice, and 80 succr$s- ful have they been at the gator that papers like The Toronto Star not only have failed to protest but have theut- selces joined in the gaunt of Quebec; baitingt7 Nov The Star discovers that "•Que1.4e nerds Ie%lership." So does Ontario need leadlirship, and if The Star could summon the courage to give Ontario a bit of leadership in the right direction perhaps Quebec alight manage to look after itself. The Gores of disunion in -the sister Prov. 1 ince use as their most effective ant - munition the utterances of Ontario politicians and newspapers ; if Ontario is really in earnest In the desires to cultivate the spirit of union it will make outcasts of those who preach disecril and hatred. "And why beholdest thou the mote that is iu thy brother's eye, but con- sidetest not the beam that is in thine own eye :?" ADMIRERS OF "BOB" ROGERS. A testimonial has been presented to Hon. Robert Rogers with the signa- tures of some seventy Conservative members of Parliament. The Minister is congratulated upon the result of the McLeod -Tellier investigation, and he is assured of the "unbounded con- fidence" of the signatories. This precious document is reported to bear the names of Lt. -Col. Lewis, mender for West Hwon, and James Bowman, nieulber for East Huron. The name of Mr. J. J. Merner, mem- ber for South Huron, does not appear. Is it to be undentcxxd that Mr. Merner has a higher standard of public honor than the two other representatives from Huron, and refuses to associate himself in this direct fashion with the whitewashing of a man whose name is synonymous with crooked politics and corrupt administration ? EDITORIAL NOTES. "Bob" Rogers is still the mainstay of the Borden Government. While investigation succeeds investi- gation the price of bacon stays up. The Winnipeg convention is the eentre of political interest this week. It used to be "Fight or pay." Now the profiteers have a new version, for their own benefit : "Pay us or starve.' The London Advertiser's attempted "boom" fur Clifford Sifton was not long-lived. Just a case of temporary mental aberration. apparently. • if Clifford Milton wants to help w -:n the war. our advice to him is to keep out of ('anadian politics and hand over a part of his millions for war purposes. MacKenzie and Mann do not appear to be greatly displemied with the Gov'- ernment's project of buying out the Canadian Northern Railway. if -they get a good price for their• stock. why should they object ? The Maltfotd Sage has leen reading in the papers about the'wpptreeion of "•Tie Fiddlers." He doesn't snake any particular objection, but he wants to know "why they don't put the clamps on these gramophones ad electric pianos, too." The electors should be on their guard against an attempt of the Big inter- ests to' slip one nvec" while they (the electon)are excited over the conscrip- tion issue. There ie no doubt as to how the Big interests will line up in the approaching election. Premier Martin says he would rather we Quebec under Laurier than under Lavergne. But this would not suit the designs of the politicians who want the votes of Lavergne's friends while they point to Sir Wilfrid Laurier as a "French-Canadian traitor." Sir Wilfrid will disappoint thein by de.. (eating the Brurassa-Lavergne crowd and bringing Quebec into line with the rest of Canada. We have before us a letter from the Provincial Organization of Reso ores Committee stating that 10,000 sten are needed to assist the farmers of On- tario to garner the harvest and calling for volunteers for farm service. The letter does dot say where or how the men are to offer their service*. if a man i+ willing to go to work on a farm for a week, or two weeks, or a month, how is he to find out who wants him ? No information is voueheaferd nn this rather important point. The Organ- isation of Reenurces Committee has (lonesome good work ; but if It cannot do any better than thi* with the farm labor queetinn we are afraid its effort will not amount to much.

B 107 THE SORROWS OF BELGIUM. What 1 Saw at Wavre—A Belgian Slave Raid. • BY AN EYl-W1TNk;SS The following deseriptiou was written by is Belgian gentleman who, nstwithstandu.g hie high social stand- ing, as sl,o the fact that he is fifty years old, very narrowly escaped de portation. He succeeded, by an excep- tional chance and at the cost of • con- siderable outlay, in getting this narra- tive smuggled through, in the hope that it might be used in some way to belp save his companions iu wisfor- tune. There areM .nous reasons for believ- ing that the deportations have not as a main object to provide merely Ger- many with lave labor, but that the intention of the Germans is to make a i displsy of fr ghtfuluess in connection e with the present move for peace in order to showBelgium and the Allies r what the Germans have still in store if they do not accept their terms.e They are greatly mistaken, for as for i. as Belgium concerned natter has the spirit of islee pendeuce and the love of n liberty been more intense in that country than at the prevent woment, and nobody there is thinking of cry- ing for wKe y, but only of demandint justice. The district of Wavre (Brabant) consists of twenty-two cowluunes- tbere are '2,800 , cowwunes in Belgium. h The order w ich eumtnoned at Wavre the entire t ale population. between the ages tel venteen to fifty-six. of twenty-two villages of the dist'ict of that name about 10,000 men -was posted on N vember 14 and read : u •e 0 NOTICE.

The greater part of these homes are poor ; two years of war, of dear living, of rations have brought about destitution ; there is nothing in the bowie but the pordoo of food stristly measured for each one; and tomorrow if the father, or the eldest coo, ie sent away there will be nu won resources. That matters nothing; there a no thought except for the beloved being who is threat- ened ; in the bundle they are prepar- ing they put the last warm garment. the last blanket, all the bread they have Tett, everything -tomorrow, in- deed, when be is gone, who will want to eats A Melancholy Procession.

Then are no more farm wagons in the coun- try ; there are no more trains. They must walk, carrying their Liege ; so they must leave early. Before 6 o'clock the procession. the melancholy and interminable procession, begins on the road., in the hating cold, the dark November morning, the freezing wind, for the weather is .rusts nature, amercing and dark, accentuating the anguish in their hearts. But they ,)curt be strong. The impression of despair must not be given. Most of the men bays forbidden their families toattcomprny them : the anguish of tt s separation might make them show weakness.

It is the picturesque spot of Wavre. In normal times there is an atmosphere of peaceful gaiety, of cheerfulness.

We are still wait- ing. They are waiting for the num- ber to be sufficiently large.

Two officers march a little in edvau.;e, their horsewhips -yes, their horeewhipe-iu their hands. The side street• are followed. From time to time, a weeping woman, an old man, having come this fair ny the most bre• tnendous effort, meua(es to slip between the ranks for one last fare- well, for a supreme embrace, but at once the soldiers push them back, et once, often before that longed -for embrace. On the main street which is reached, as the windows of the houses the poor people still watch, watch with dry, fevered eyes, red- dened with tests, and sluiost d ically wave their handkerchief those whom they thus salute wish to break down. 1. it to re echen- B to not urn the courage of those dear ones who see them thus ; is it in order to pre- vent an exhibition of weakness before these soldiers who are guarding then[? Nearly all of them march with bead high ; they wave their hats and they siieo, they sing unceasingly as they sang in the courtyard of the school. But there were voices that are husky and full of team. They march. At ea.b corner of a street there is a short struggle.. Always one or another of the prisoners tries to escape, but al- ways a horseman pwsues him and hriaga him back to the sank*, unless, by a stinging blow from his whip, one of the officers haa net already rent him back.
