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 he seas It In tbe immerse,' of all Canada reellettiing our part in the great world itreggle. We express the hope that 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. Baron Atholaten (t4ir Hugh Graham) is the owner of The Montreal Star. which one day last week had a %Ansa, tions) editorial article dtrertsti againet the "alleged leaders" who are described as 'playing politics on the edge of ite11." andsuggeeting that someone un- named. perhaps merely an imaginative figure, be "shot dead hy a firing squad." This was, we suppose, merely Rich Yet Dellcate— Clean and Full of Aroma. Is blended from selected hill -grown teas, famed for their fine flavoury qualities. Imitated yet never equalled. 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- nnonyfnthe Country in which therWW of their lives if, hap- pily, spend the test t6 pe P pily, they return when the war is over.

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 that he is an ornament to the bench and that his condemnation of Mr. Rogers is greatly to his erediL Ae the judge shows no intention of re- signing,Tbe Telegram (speaking doubt. less for Mr. Rogers) ray. that Parlia- 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- liament to support such • motion. The truth is that while the Hon. Mr. Rogers way be innocent, very many 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.

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.
