It justifies the farmer in charging high prices for his finished product in view of the fact that he is virtually cempelled by the Government to pay extravagant prices for the mill products. which onstitute an important part of his raw material. So the Government appears to be stepping on its own feet and one com- mission to be getting in the way .01 another. Hews that may be, a seat chine investigation in.° the whole subject of bran and shorts is overdue. Not only have prices been extortionate, but the products themselves In many cases have been so poisoned with noxious weeds as to constitute a menace Ito the five stock industry of Central Canada. There is something fantastic in a great wheat -growing country like Canada being unable to furnish bran and shorts at moderate maces to farmers engaged in the live stock industry. The eanada Wheat Bo3rd is an part responsible. but bick of that there are flagrant abuies connected with the business of elevating wheat in this coentry.

Before the election they triumphantly pented out the way to vote: they published cart Ions showing the triumph of the Government adherents. and the rout of the Opposi- tion forces. They said. "Vote as we tell you and keep on the winning side." But the people had termed their minds with- out consulting them this time, and no press ever felt cheaper ,over any result than. the Toronto press feels over this. It was time for the electors to repudate such vicious leadership. The newspapers had become mere narrow partisan sheets, practising tyranny and terrorism, and harping continually on the strings of racial hatred and refiiious bigotry. The message of the free electors of Ontario has gone forth from the polls. and it is a noble. friendly and heartening . It is a message which shows Itilltealmg days of terrorism and fear must end, and that a broad-minded conception of true Canadian citizenship is now abroad in the land. Arbitrary and op- pressive Measures of government, without consulting the people. must cease at once. and differences of religion, race, and language are now to he merged in one splendid and generous ideal of Canadian citizenship in which Ontario and Quebec and the other Provinces are remented together in loving bonds of brotherhood and friendship to work in unity for the common welfare of our great sod noble country! and j3int administratioe of land tax.

Does this help to console us for that aching void between Goderich and Kincardine where we hoped to see electric cars run- ning up and down ? Northern Ontario is talking of seceding from Old Ontario and setting up a new Province. We cannot see but that it has a good ri/ht to do so if it wishes; the business of the Government at Toronto will be to show the Northerners that it it to their advantage to remain with the rest of the Province. The United States has removed its embargo on the impart of Csnadian wheat and the farmers of Western Canada will prafit to the extent, it is estimated. of forty cents a bushel. This will mean an extra twenty million dollars on the ex- portable wheat in Western Canada.
