Address by Arthur Hawk= we the National Sitnatr, Thr Warmers' Club picnic held nn Thursday lastest "l.ornes,de," the Lake Shore fares of Mr. E. V. Lamson, was well attended• and will probably be repest.ed in future years as an occasion for the farmersof a wide district to get together and exchange views and at the saner time enjoy a day's respite from the arduons duties of the farm. Held under the auspices of the Col.. borne Vanm!rn' Club, several other Farmer* Chiba were represented in the gathering, quite a large numb. r being present from Ashfield, Alii some from the neighborhood of /Myth, and from even • contingent froTimmer Road. Thr pienie was hell at the back of the farm, on the lake bank, thus per- mitting the from inland points the added pleasure of a walk along the beach or is 'lip in the waters. Address by Arthur Hawkes. Thr feature of the day was the dis- cussion of national questions, the chief speaker being Mr. Arthur Hawkes, the well-known publicist, who was in- troduced by Mr. Gordondon Lamb, pried- dent('si- dent of the Colborne hob. Mr.Hawkes some spike of se orf the changes that might be expected to follow woman's iavanion of the field of polities. Giving some instante•s of corrupt practices in past elections, the speaker said : if we don't want the women to lower them- selves to our standard. we must lift ourselves to their standard. One great duty before the people of this country was to cultivate among Canadians an affection for the soil of Canada such ao our forefathers had for the country in which they were born, Scotland, Ireland or itngland. It was the failure of preachers and other public nen 4o preach the doc- trine of devotion to their own country that ,wade it possible toprrrhase votes with mosey. 1n the Old (Iouotry, until rompers - ti ety recant times, only the men who owned the land had the vote. in this country the man who owned the landai wan alin moat, reliant the man who tilled the sell, and was it not true that the faraa+ seof this country were too ready to *Atte the position cif the man who tills the mil rather than that of the man who mesa the soil? The .raker New entered into a dr - tailed desc'im(n of recestrvanto which he claimed revealsd a danger to the liberties winch our fathers had won for us. While our nein and worsen were sufferinit overseas, She lout we ars at hoe eould do was tro ser that these liberties weer preserved. The proceed- ings taken under the War Mu essiers rete, the habeas memos easel, the eon - between the civil and the military rtheritieA, and other incidents of re. cont occurrence ween reviewed, end the speak. i de land: If we do not now assert ow abealute sada* We may Nntl ourselves in a plrsitiuo in which it 1311 would be impossible for us to enforce oar rights. Mr. Hawker alai, made a plea for a bitter underHtandintt between Can- adians, of French and Ilritish origin, stating that a common ground of unity newt be found for all our people for the building up of a sturdy Can- adienisln. Brief addresses were given also by Reeve (Gordon Young of Colborne, Messrs, R. N-Ightruan of Blyth, J. N.. McKeuaie, Morgan Dalton and Mur- 1 doch Mc1Cetrtie of Ashtleld, the leading note of the addresses being the mous silty of union among fartnerte to pro- tect their rights in 'Hatters uf"Irgisla- tion and national adwinist ation. Resolution Adopted. The following resolution, which had already been adopted at several fann- ers' gatherings in the Province, was put to the meeting and way unani• mouldy carried : seue:~e THE COLBORNE STORE 11"e 1 "On May 14th several thousand farm- ers appeared before the Government at Ottawa for the primary purpose of scat. c- quainting the Government with the dis- astrous results to agricultural' production if the orderin-council d April 20th were carried out without modification. They also sub- _ mated to Parliament a remonstrance, in which expression was given to the appre- hension that the libe ties of the people = were being threatened by the substitution of orders -in -council for Acts of Parliament. and that the;policy of the Government in this respect was causing grave unrest in = the country, thereby' militating very seri- ously against the successful probrcution I C of the war. A number of cases were tbere , cited as sutlicient cause for this growing ZZ unrest, and the attention of the House was called to its responsibility as the representative of the people. line this remonstrance was made to 11 Parliament the course of events has IN fully justified the fears expressed in it. 1 Within one week after it was made the House was humiliated by its submission = to the Premier's threat in connection with i the debate on titles Shortly afterwards 1 a respectable farmer was tined $a500 (with = the alternative of six months' imprison- ments, for expressing privatrly an adverse = opinion as to one 01 the many ord rs-in- council which have superceded Parlia-' mentary enactments. And, quite recently, the Supreme Court of Alberta has been set at naught by the Government, and the country brought to the verge of civil war by the order to the military authorities to disregard the judgments of the courts. '.Virtually to establish martial law in I= Canada, and set the military authorities _ above the civil law. by order-in-cuuncil, is surely as conclusive and dramatic a proof ; asi anyone could demand of the grave la menace to the liberties of the Canadian I = people involved in the present situation and amply J fies the farmers' remora- !� strance. Nor is the situation altered by = the rcent,judgment of the Supreme Court t= of Canada; for not only was the judgment not unanimous, but the majority expressly ' stated that they were not concerned with the question of policy as to whether or not the powers now exercised by the Cabinet 'are so wide that they involve serious danger to our Parliamentary in- i stitutitrr.' E "In vsew of all these, and many similar facts whichtot be here cited, this . _ of Canadian farmers earnestly 1 le to til Canadian citizerui to awake to a realisation of the satuaUon before it is too late to remedy matters in a peace- able and axistitute:mai way.

"Secondly. the effort to impel Parliament to re -assert its control of the executive must be promoted by such constitutional means as were provi. before the passing of the War Measures Act of 1914. "Thirdly. all citizens of Canada, of whatever class or condition, must be invited to join together to secure an im- mediate and unquestionable reassertion of the revpensibility of the Cabinet to CIVIC HOLIDAY PICNICS.
