THE WESTERN CONVaNTION.
The convention of Western Liber-
als at Winnipeg last week was an
occasion ot great politi-al importance
and the proceedings were e agerly fol-
lowed throughout the Daminion. A
degree of unanimity war reached
which by some was not considered
possible before the convention •seem•
bled, and Liberalism in the Western
Provinces will go into the coming
election as a united force.
The well-known radical tendencies
of the West were reflected in the
resolutions adopted on fiscal and
economic questions. The convention
demanded a reformation of the bank-
ing laws in the interests of the people,
advocated the increase of the British
preference. with a view to ultimate
tree trade with Great Britain, disap-
proved of hereditary titles for Canada,
sated for the transfer of the Crown
lands in the Prairie Provinces to the
Provincial Governments, favored the
taxation of war protla, recommended
the extension of the Federal franchise
to wowec, and adopted other planks
of a radical platform.
The convenaoa was in nothing more
unanimous than iu its hearty con-
demnation of the maladtninistratioc
of theporden Government, and it was
declar that • union Government
was impossible until the Ottawa situa-
tion was cleared up and the stumble
Ing
blocks were removed.
The great issue before the conven-
tion was, of course, the war, and the
resolution adopted was as follows :
In this war for the defence of de-
mocracy against military despotism,
the couditions call for the putting
forth by each allied belligerent of its
full power as the only assurance of
victory. In tames of peril the entire
resources of the country, moral end
niaterisl, wan -power and wealth, are
ju.tly disposable by the state for the
preservation of the national liberties.
The imperative duty of the people of
Canada today in regard to t6. war is
its cou.tiuurd and vigorous I.rueecu-
t,nn
(I) By conferring with the British
Government for the purpose of defin-
itely ascertaining the scope and char-
acter of the services that can beet be
rendered by Canada its Ibe conduct of
the war.
(2) By the maintenance, in unim-
paired strength at the front, of our
fighting force., and the taking of all
steps necessary to secure required re-
inforcements for this purpose.
(3) By organizing thf pr oduction
of our other contributions to the war,
such as food, munitions and other war
oeceeities, upon lines of the greatest
efficiency.
(4) By the complete extinction of
profiteering in all business having to
do with munitions and the necessaries
of life. if necessary by the national-
ization of these industries, or hy the
adaptation of the British system of
control of controlled establi.hmente.
15) By the recovery tor the public
treasui y of undue profits obtained
since the beginning of the war by the
exploitation of the interests of the
people for the present requirements of
the state.
(6) By the application of • com-
bined syetem of sharply graduated
$agetion upon Memnon and excess
profits which shall Insure that every
citizen shall bear his or her full share
(of the war burden, according to his Or
ber mesas.
17) By thoroughly organizing the
n ation and carrying out this program
by whatevlr means may be necessary
for its accomplishment.
A few delegates wasted to "paint
Um lily" by adding the words "hy
compulsion if necessary" in this reso-
lution, hut the convention oyerdbelm-
ingly declared tbat thereaeletion was
satisfactory.
The convention was enthusiastic in
acclaim of Air Wilfrid Laurier and
adopted a re.olution
"That convention place on re-
cord
atcord its •admiraties of the lite and
worst if the greatest of all Uanadiano,
Sir Wilfrid Laurier. aad of his earn-
ests -endeavor to carry out his duty as

Na lone etpariene. and matchle..
etatesmaneblp may he utilised ib unit-
ing the people of Canada in this great
cried' in the sueoesaful prosecution of
the war and carrying out the program
of tbi. convention."
There can be no doubt that the re-
sults of the convention are eminently
u►tistactory to the vast majority of
the Liberals of the Western Province..
In Winnipeg, which like Toro stn le a
ceutre of Conserv.ttive iufluence, there
is some disaffection among Liberals.
and The \Vi nnipeg Free Preece—which
is said to be owned by Sifton—is dis-
pleased with the endorsation of Laur-
ier; but in this matter it ill reasonable,
in view of the action of the conve o-
nion, to believe that the attitude of The
Free Preys is the result of the Tory
atmosphere by which it is surrounded
and is not approved by any but •
small section of Liberals.
Those who desire to see Canada
keep its place in the ranks of the na-
tions fighting for the defeat of Prua-
siasisw, without itself being rent
asunder by racial strife, will be deeply
gratified by the spirit of unity show n
at the convention, which gives an
C
added
!tope that•nada will sur-
mount its present difficulties and will
soon he able kr give its adherence to a
Government that will unite the peo-
ple in the great work that remains to
be done.
EDITORIAL NOTES.
If win -the -war conventions in Can-
ada would win the war, Germany
ought now to be almost on her last
legs,
'lir Wilfrid Laurier believes he can
secure reinforcements for the Cana-
dian forces by the voluntary system.
Surely it ie not unpatriotic to have -
faith in one's fellow -countrymen,
The period of political turmoil in
Canada should be brought to an end as
quickly as possible. If there is to be
an election it should not be held off
any longer than ie necessary. When
it is over the people can get hack to
other things that require attention.
It is all very well to urge economy of
Ned, but there should be some guaran-
tee tbat;the people when they do with-
out bacon and other things are not
playing into the hands of the cold-
►torage concerns. The law of supply
and demand is dislocated in war -tune,
and unless a close waL h is kept upon
prices the profiteers will stake the
people pay as much for a nteatlees
meal as for the full dinner of the days
of plenty. What is Mr. Hanna doing
to provide against this P
Mr. Hoover, the United States food
controller, has declared war on the
food profiteers in that country. He
says that gambling in wheat must
stop even if the Government has to
buy the entire wheat supply of the
nation. A. a preliminary step Mr.
Hoover will take over -ids control' of
all grain elevators and mills with a
daily capacity of over 100 barrels of
flour and place them under a system
of lic.nsee which will provide full in-
formation for the administration and
make hoarding impoeeible.
The Toronto News makes the intem-
oue suggestion that German money is
behind the opposition to the Borden
Government. "Let every Canadian
insult hTrif for a moment" it says,
'•by euppoeing himself a German
agent. Then let him ask whirls policy
and which leader in Canadian affairs
would he support." The News, of
rourse, thinks the answer to the trues -
tion would reflect upon Sir Wilfrid
Laurier : but we believe The News is
wtung. What better could the Kaiser
wish than that Canada should be torn
with dimension and its attention
diverted from war effort ? —and this is
just what the Borden Government has
brought, upon the country. Sir Wil-
frid I.aur•ier's aim is a united Canada
working in harmony and with steady
purpose for the defeat of Prus*lanism.
Borden's policy means contention, dis-
cord. confusion. and paralysis of
Canadian war effort.
The Orillia Packet looks for POMP -
thing like a, revolution in rural life and
conditions within the next twenty or
twenty-five years. It says :
With increased motive power and
improved machinery will come still
bettor and more profitable farming,
and with still better and more profit-
able farming a speedy acceleration of
the change already evident in the rel-
ative positions of the dwellers in the
country and the dweller,. in the
towns. The brndency in Canada
heretofore- has been to regard a
change from lite on the farm
to life in a town or city as a better-
ment of one's condition That mis
Laken notion is feat passing away. and
no agency in utterly didsipating what
remains of it will be so potent es the
motor car. Pere ovally we hail with
malefaction each fresh addition to the
list of farmers, wheels we see driving
into Orillia in a brand-new automobile,
wondering meantime if he realizes the
part he is taking in a *oriel revolution
whirh means so much to hia class end
b'y th. entire country.

the language of perfervid patriotism :
but evidently it was taken in earnest I`
by some people, who at once proceeded
to do some shtsiting.. with the owner
of The Star as the victim! Several
sticks of dynamite—enough to blow
the place to sutitherrens—were ex-
ploded under Baron At
holatan
s sum-
mer villa near Montreal : but fortun-
ately the jobtwas done in amateurish
fashion, and. nobody was hurt, al-
though the Baron and several mem
bets of bis household were sleeping in
the place. Perhaps it would be just as
well if patriotism should show itself
strong enough to geoid the lauguage
of violence.'
The Ripley Express publishes a let-
ter from Pte. W. F. Newton, a former
Ripley boy, who has been at the front
in France for fifteen months. Private
Newton says he writes with the hope
that his letter "may inspire some of
those Canucks to get a move on and
don the khaki." He continues :
"1 don't think they will like the
conscription b:II hanging over their
heads. Just imagine that Canada hart
to force her teen to fight for their
wives and families. Besides, I don't
see how they can stick back there,
when they know how many comrades
have been slain by the Boche out here.
I don't like conscription, and no Cana-
dian should like it. 1 hope they will
g -t wise and enlist voluntarily, for it's
not nice to say, 'We were dragged into
the war.' "
The statement is made repeatedly
that "all' the soldiers overseas are in
favor of conscription. This is not
true. as we happen to know ; but
probably the majority of them are—at
any rate, the majority of those on the
actual flghtirg line. Some of them.
however, would like to see Canada's
army remain a volunteer army ; like
Pte. Newton, they look upon conscrip-
tion as somewhat of a disgrace. We
venture to say, too, that many of the
soldiers overseas who favor conscrip-
tion would. if they knew the farta of
the situation in Canada, disapprove of
any action that would plunge this
country into a racial feud the effects
of which would be felt for half -a -
century. We must be true to our
boys at the front by pre -serving bar-

The Case of Judge Galt
Ike Christian Guardian.
When the Manitoba Government
undertook certain investigations
wbict. concerned the activities of the
Hon. Robert Rogers while a member
of the former Manitoba Cabinet., the
conduct of the investigation was
placed in the hands of Judge Galt,
himself a Conservative and one who
is supposed to have ,owed his appoint -
went to Mr. Rogers. It tniggbt p -chaps
havelbeen expected that Mr. Rogers
reputation would have been safe in
Judge Oalt's hands, but it was soon
discovered that theudge was not in-,
*lined to lean Mr. Roger. way, and
when be delivered his judgment it
condemned Mr. Rogersstrougly. Then
the Dominion Government appointed
another commission to investigate
Judge Gait's actions, and this commie -
*ion decided that Judge Galt had
found contras to the evidence and
had actually distorted certain of the
facts, and the Hon. Robert Rogers is
innocent of all wrong -doing. From
the party standpoint everything hs
now clear, and Mr. Rogers has taken
his proper place in the Cabinet. But
if Mr. Rogers is innocent, as the
second commission asserts, thea sure-
ly Juage Galt should not be allowed
to remain on the bench. The Winni-
peg Telegram has been hinting very
broadly that Mr. Justine Galt should
resign ; but • great. many people think

ment, will be asked to remove him
from the bench. But we venture to
think that it will toe very hard indeed
to get many decent members of Par-

The truth is that while the Hon. Mr.

people, even in his own party, do not
believe that he is, and this conviction
is not in the Most, disturbed by the re-
cent report of the second commission.

HIGH COST OF LIVING.
Do Without Meat Two Days a Week
and Ec000mise at the Table.
To the Editor of The Siegal.
DEAR Mtn,—A couple of weeks ago
Sou rueutloned i0 the columns of The
ignal bhat i had said shat two meat-
less' days • week would rave in the
county of leuron 1,120 head of cattle
in one year. Receutly I have several
times been anted. "How did you get
it ?" Here is the solution of the pre -
blew. 1 took the population of the
county at 48,000 ; allow each individ-
ual four ounces of meat per day, and
then take a bntcher'e beset and dress
it to 400 pounds. Work these figures
out in detail and you will find 3,120
cattle is the yearly saving.
There are other staple articles of
food that can be brought under the
ban of economy, and, no doubt, ef-
fect • saving. Take bread and nee
what a waste of half-aaiee a dab iu
each tastily in the county means- A
pound -and a -bait loaf will cut up
nicely into twelve slices. Bach piece
will weigb two ounce., and a west.' of
half-• slice is • waste ot out ounce per
day, or 3013ounces-22{ pound.—ip one
year in a family of five permits. There
are about 10,000 familit. in Buren
county. aud the wasting of onne ounce
of breed • day in each family means
that 150,000 loaves weighing IS pounds
each are put into the scraps trout the
table in one year.
Also potatoes may be wasted un-
noticeahly. A potato the aim of a
ben'g egg weighs ',bout two Dunes..
if each of the 10,000 families in the
county waste* one potato army day
there is wasted in the county in one
year 7,509 bushels.
While these flxnns look very small
in their individual representation they
are of considerabl- proportion is
the aggregate, and might well be taken
nodes of in families where there are
children and in hotels and boarding-
houses.
