CANADA'S GRAND 01.0 MAN.
• When it comes to a question of un-
biesed opinion, says The Loodon Ad.
vertiser, Sir Wilfrid Laurier is always
pointed out as • shining example of
loyalty and broadmindedoess. His
traducers are only those who refuse to
see that he is not only a great states-
man, but a great man. A writer ioThe
Loudon (England) Oaily,Newe,wIto bad
no interest at stake except that of the
uuvaruished truth, tells the following
refreshing reminiscence of the ve:.eran
Canadian :
"I remembar a talk with him. in
which he spoke in glowing terms of
the ennobling effect of liberty upon
Wren, as illustrated in the lives of many
thou.aads of immigrants into the Do-
minion from the lands of oppreseion in
Eastern Europe. He declared that
Viers was no rap or nationality, how-
ever down -trodden and spiritleee,
which did not provide human material
capable in the second generation of
contributing valuable metered to the
strength and prosperity of the Empire.
He mentioned, I remember, the Gali-
cian peasant, his native conditiou and
the new oonditious in the free air- of
the prairies. and went on to discuss
the characteristics of immigrant from
ever y part of Europe, coming last to
these. islands. It will please some of
my readers. and perhaps not offend
others, that his closing words were
these : 'The Scottish, sir—the Scottish
are the scut of the earth.' "
EDITORIAL NOTES.

An October election appears to be on
the program.

`Bob" Rogers has been "vindicated ''
Now it's Dr. Clark's turn to pat him
on the back.
We understand the judges who
whitewashed "Bob'''', Rogers charged
nothing fur the job. Well. it Wit.
worth it. ,
What is that funny sound that
comes on the western wind ? Why.
that's the people of Manitoba laughing
at the judicial "vindication' of the
Hon. "Bob" Rogers.
The Salttord Sage smiled grituly as
be read the report of the judges on the
"Bob" Rogers case. "Nell," he said,
"pouring Florida water on a bad egg
doesn't improve it very h."
"The meet honest and provident
Government in the history of Confed-
erating" is what The Toronto Newe
calls the Borden Government. That's
the best joke we've beard for a long
while.
The London Free Press wonders if
partisanship will still flourish after
the war, if the people will still divide
themselves se (Grits and Tories. We
don't know what most peenple will he
like after the war, but we'd bet our
last farthing that The Free Press will
continue to be rabid Tory until the end
of the chapter.
Mitchell Recorder: The cleavage be-
tween sections of this country is already
too wide and anything that tend/ to
engender strife between the different
partit. is treason to the best interests
of the nation. Every effort should be
put forth to break down the barriers
of isolation and suspicion in Quebec,
and of intolerance and leek of em-
pathy in Ontario.
Menem. McLeod and Tellier, two re-
tired judges who were appointed by
the Government to report upon find-
ings of Judge Galt at. Winnipeg ,re -
Meeting upon the HIM. Robert. Rogers
in connection with Use cent/arts for
the MMitoba Agricultural College,
have reported in favor of Mr. Rogers.
This. of eourwe, is what they were ex-
pected to do. hawing been appointed
fnr that purpose. The people are asked
to believe that Mr. Rogers was un -
justly etaligped by Mr. Justice Galt
and that the auspicious circumstances
ib connection with the occurrences in
Winnipeg were merely coincidences.
So tar e. investigations aro concerned,
Mr. Rogers may claim a "draw," but
1u hes yet to c before the court of
lust resort—the electors of the coun-
try.
The business man who advertises is
the business man who wishes to do
business with you. He is the mer-
chant who is prepared to give you the
greatest value for your money. He is
the dealer who believes in publieity and
who finds it advantageous to give the
public information. Study the /adver-
tising columns of The Signal and act
accordingly. Buyers will find that it
will save them money.
The Mount Forest Confederate is
one of many papers that refuse to be
guided by "the sinister hand of Sir
Clifford Siften." it has favored a
union Government, but it believes the
first step is ea get rid of the present
Adwinietratiun at Ottawa. It says :
"One thing is clear, there must be a
change in the Government at Ottawa.
The futility, the lukewarntness, the
fickleness., the selfishness. the corrup-
tion of the present Administration
must be rebuked. There must be
a thorough cleauing out of the influen-
tial corrupt elemental in and about the
Borden Goveruutent. We believe that
conscription of all our resources of
men and money is necessary in order
that the country shall du its full duty
in the world crisis. But conscription
would be futile unless the resources
thus made available were much wore
honestly and efficiently used than they,
are by the present degenerate outfit
et Ottawa. To clean it out is the fleet
step temards doing our part in win•
ling the ear."
WHAT OTHERS SAY.
Not Playing the Game Fairly.
liawlltoo Times
Annthe►• reason why Borden should
not get an extension is the fact that
he is using the time to crowd the
Senate with hie supporter.. To be
boniest he should have made the new
members Tory and Ut it in equal pro -
poi tion.
Why Is it ?
Mitchell Recorder,
Food Controller Hanna has promised
that the price of fish will ba reduced,
but he has not yet announced that
Canadian "mats are to be sold as
cheaply in Canada as they are in Brit-
aio. Why is it that atter paying
freight to England these meats are
cheaper there than in Canada ?
A Suggestion to the Pant
K ulk.rtou Telescope.
Mr. Truaz'r suggestion that the men
in the trenches lee paid 82.50 to 83 a
day is very much to the point. Our
boys are certainly not figbtine for the
money that is in it, but they have
their liviag to make, and many mouths
to feed at bonne. Is it fair for
them to have to subsist on 81.10,
while men whn hive stayed at home
are making 85 to87 • day in munition
factorise? There is. nothing fair about
it. The extra money could easily be
raised by taxing war profits.
it's Up to Hanna.
Montreal Herald.
The Government, especially in war
time, ought to lei able to reduce the
price of bacon to the public several
cents • pound. There ought to be •
"bort-cut to this reduction. We shall
hope to be shown tbat the appointtuent
of Mr. Haon& bad resulted in something
more practical then to add another

ity may be thrown. if Mr. Hanna is the

Diarmid, Minister of Public Works,
announced that preparations are being
made to commence next spring the

Robert Borden declined to say the

Attacking Sir Wilfrid Laurier.
Stratford Beacon.
The Stratloed Herald and • section
of the Conservative press have been
for soave tits.. p taking a viciour de -
heel io attributing disloyal motive* to
Sir Wilfrid Leakier' in favoring a re-
ferendum. Whatever mew be taought
of bis viewsen the couscription issue,
the sincerity of Sir Wilfrid's stand is
undoubted. He has served Canals
and the Empire too lone for such vili-
fication. These journals serve no use-
ful purpose by ioiti•ting a campaign
of slander during lbs political crisis
which Canada is now experiencing.
The pillorying of Sir Wilfrid Laurier,
who co,wnands the respect of • vast
number of people in title count -y, is
nct the policy calculated to influence
the people in favor of the eonecriotion
policy they profess to advocate. !'heir
attitude is simply one of petty parti-
sanship. Not capable theweelve. of
sufficient independence to have ut-
tered one word of protest while Can-
ada's part in this war was being mis-
managed by their own party Govern-
ment, they see iu the present political
crisis, which has created differences of
opinion with party beads, bnt an op-
portunity to breed prejudices which
might result in Bowe advantages to
the party leaden they so slavishly
serve. Tbey accuse Sir Wilfrid of
putting party politica before patriot-
ism, while nothing but rabid partisan-
ship is led in tbeir own columns.
They support conscription with much
less ardor than they occupy them-
selves with the policy of slander cal.
culated to do that policy harm and
thereby bring upon themselves self -
condemnation. They put the winning
of an election and their panty first, an
attitude they, with an affectation of
superior patriotism, are so free in at-
tributing to oth.-rt.

The insertion of a comma once cost
the United States Government two
million dollars, according to The
American Printer. The tariff bill in
which tbe mistake occurred provided
that "foreign fruit; placate, etc.,'
should be admitted tree of duty, the
idea being to encourage the culture of
high-grade varieties of fruit trees and
grapevines in that country. "When
the bill was printed, 'foreign fruit
Omits, etc.,' read 'foreign fruit, pleats,

English Novelist
With Our Forces
C
)NINGSBT DAWSON, Ragusa
novelist, resident in the
United States, was Dnay try -
Ing to follow up the success
of his novel, "A Garden Without
Walls." when the war came. He
realised that. as he was a Briton of
military age, it was his duty to put
literaturebebind him and fight fou
ha country. Delaying only long
enough to finish some work which he
had premleed tea publishers, be
crossed from the United Stater int*
Caaada and qualified as an officer la
the Canadian fortes. Shipped across
the ocean last summer, he found him-
self, atter only a short stay In Eng-
land, plunged without further ad*
into the bell on the Somme.
For months thereafter he dealt
and dodged death from morning to
teethe with scarcely the time to pet e
really good wash or change el
clothes. He saw men killed a few
feet from him; saw corpses by the
hundred lying In htdeonaly lifelike
postures amid the black mud of shell
boles; and, faithful to bfa. profesalos
as a writer, ho fought w'fth the full
strength of his Intellect to grasp and
visualise and set down on paper the
terrific impact of new and horrible
impressions which the war brought
to him. He could not do !t—who
cam'—but Coaingsby Dawson, novel-
ist, has given us something better
than a novel In his latest volume,
"Carry Os,",made up of letters from
the trenches to members of his fam-
ily on this side of the Atlantic.
His new book Is one of the most
Interesting productions of the subjec-
tive side of war that has yet appear-
ed. He makes you see the reactions
to the war of a civilian in uniform,
a man accustomed to the ease of life
who 1s abruptly plunged into car-
nage and barbarism and stenctt.
"This war will be won by tired meg
who will never again pass an insur-
ance examination." is one of the
phrases, one of many, that flash the
Somme horror to his readers.
Coniagaby Dawsoa sailed for Eu-
rope last July. "I've become • little
cblld again la God's hands," he
wrote to his family after months et
training in a Canadian camp, "with
full confidence in Hie love and wb-
doe., and a growing trust that what-
ever He decides for me will be the
best and kindest." A abort two
moatba later he was in Northern
France.
