AUGUST 2. 1917 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. Keep cool.

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.

A Diabolical Eaterprise. Weekly Run. Clifford Siftoo follows bis evil shadow upon the political scene and in his retinue march The Globe, Star and Winnipeg Free Press, r..l.ying the English to • war with the French. It is a diabolical enterprise from which we should expect Liberalism to shrink with horror. Its professions are for the most part Wee. Ii falsely pro- fesses 111►►► single purpose to win the teal.

Having fallen under • news- paper government. let us ask, who owns the newspapers? The Automobile Highway. Forest Free Preen. On Thursday last Hon. F. G. Mac. Diarmid, Minister of Public Works, announced that preparations are being made to commence next spring the construction of the proposed Automo- bile highway from Windsor to Mont- real. if the United Farmers of On- tario have an infla*nne in puhlin affair. in this any they will see that this preposterous and extrava- gant proposal i. prevented. The pro- posed road, which is to coat more than 000,000, will not be of the elighte.t benefit to tbe farmers, yet they will have to pay the greater portion of the cost by direct taxation. All tbings considered it is the wildest scheme of useless ezp.nditure ever proposed by N Ontario Government. Borden's Failure.

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. A Chance for Those Going West.

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, etc,' and as • result oranges, grapes, lemons, bananas, etc., came into the Uoited States free of duty for a year. 1'be error cost the Government just about two million dollars in revenue."

V. b.dwards, of Newark, N. J., • pamphlet containing the prophecy that Jesus Christ will oume egsio . n September 18th, 1917, at 11.08 a. w., New York time. The events the world will go through tpee described as follows: August 4m, 1917. Heavens on fire. The agony of hell. Death everywhere. All busbies.; ends. The end of the war. Rivers dried up.

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. Admiration for the coolsem of the men engaged in the deadly stork con- stantly overcame the young novelle' as he grew to know his comrades better.
