Another scene in the Ottawa farce is being presented to the people. The com- pany that had held the boards the last two or three years having at last sensed its loss of any popularity it may ever have had, the curtain has been rung down on the "Unionists." and comes up again to reveal "the National Liberal and Con servatlee party." It. is just last year's company badly camouflaged under a new same. Any actors of merit the company possessed long ago abandoned it, and the manager who up to the present has held it together is now getting out, leaving a bunch of mediocrities to hold the boards and weary the public until the crowil. mob: the stage and clears the way fo an entirely new company and a new and better act. In Other words, Sir Robert Barden is retiring from the post of Prime Minister • and the motley Ministerial following, realizing how utterly repugnant to the people the word "Unionist" has become. has s ll mnly decided upon a new name • which it is hoped will please almost every- boi .. A new leader is to be secured and if possible new combinations will be formed. one proposal being to bring 'in a prominent French-Canadian in order to draw some Quebec suppiort to the Gov- ernment. Some people even go fi tar as to oar that the word "National" has been tatroduced in the new party name to attract the Quebec Nationalists. of . whoni one representative, Shoot•hoks-in- tbe-fl.rg Blondin, is still with the present Admir:i•:trauon as Postmaster -General The intrigue with Quebec is said be in the hands of Hon. J. A. Calder, who is supposed to have still some friends in Quebec, despite his desertion of Laurier pl 1917 ; but it remains to be Men wheth r any self-respecting French-Canadian will join the crew who raised the anti -Quebec cry at the last election. The Government's Parliamentary step port is very uncertain. and, although Hon. C. C. Ballantyne stated during the recent session that it was intended to carry on until 1922 or 1923, events may bring on a general 'election much sooner tban that. In fact. there is a good deal of talk of the probability of an election this fall, and a certain activity in political , circles throughout the country is evident. Our i'. F. 0. friends in particul: r are getting ready for the fray, and intens to - [make things hot for some of the old-line politicians. If a general election in Canada should synchronize with the Pre-_idential election across the border, there should be sufficient heat generated to obci ite any threatened danger from a 'Coal shortage. radial railways which would cost enor- mously, would consume a great amount of power that is required for factories. and would not solve the problem of oper- ating the present steam roads economic- al:y. Fortunately Premier Drury has a mind of his own and is quite able to place # proper valuation upon the claims put forward by The Globe and from certain other quarters. He realizes that he is the Premier of the whole oft Ontario, not of the Toronto district merely. -- • - The Ottawa Masqueraders • 1.01111011 Advertiser.

MAY CONSOLIDATE THREE SCHOOLS. - A very representative meeting of the ratepayers of school sectiuus No.'s 2s4 and 7 was held in the Benmtller school on Tuesday, evening. June 29th, and was addressed by Inspector Tom. of Goderich, and Dr. Sinclair. of the Education De- partment, Toronto. Inspector Tom said he had no hesitation in stating that the consolidating of these three schools was not only feasible but very desirable from every standpoint. The present achool could easily be remodelled and two teachers could perform much better work than the three at present. Dr. Sinclair stated that the aim of the Education Department was to have the consolid- ation to the people's judgment, provide facilities for giving information, and to sive liberal grants to the school buildings, transportation of the pupils, and to the salaries of the leachers. He dealt prin- cipally with the question of cost and estimated that an assessment of. six mills would be ample to maintain two good teachers' and transport all the pupils to and from the school. A committee u( the three trustees from each of the sections was appointed to secure further inform- ation regarding cost of building and transportation, to draw up an agreement of union and call further puhlic meetings when the information is available The question will then be decided by a vote of the ratepayers in the different sections. The Re.ublicans nominat.d for Presi- dent an Oh' • newspaper proprietor. The Democrats co• ntered with another Ohioan who also is a n spaper man. Whichever wins, the Buck e State and the fourth estate will score. \ It is the general opinion that this year's Dominion Day celebration was the best the town has had for many years. This leaves out of the comparison, of coltrse, the Peace Day celebration last year, Which was in a class by itself. it is regrettable tha the celebration did not pay for itself, or, rather. that the afternoon receiptedid not cover the whole day's program. This is something that can be corrected in future years, either by increasing the afternoon admission fee, or by cutting off some of the free features of the morning and evening. This year's successful celebra- tion was a good advertisement for Goderich, as nobody could have gone away from town at the close of the day without feeling that he had got big value for his money. The Globe is shout ing Inc Hydro radials. while the Government is in doubt of the wisdom of making a plunge that maY involve the Province deeply. The Globe points to the growing costs of coal and gasoline. and argues that the tree of elec- tric energy from Niagara for transport- ation purposes would tend to relieve Ontario of these increasing cosh.

The important announce- ment of the Minister of Finance that Canada has finished borrowing, means that there will be no increase in the supply of these bonds. The huge sums of money that must be invest- ed from time to time in the highest possible grade of security, will therefore seek invest- ment in existing issues.

Toronto Star The election in Winnipeg last week was another triumph for proportional repre- sentation. More than 47,000 persons, a large number of them f oreigners, voted, but only 819, or less than two per cent., epoile,i their ballots. Both groups forming the Ontario Coalition Government went before the electors last October with proportional representation as a plank in their plat- forms. Perhaps that fact might make it appear unnecessary that 'the Govern- ment should appoint a special committee to make an inquiry and report its con- clusions on the subject to the next session of the Legislature. But the Government is without a working majority in the House. it has to depend on the support of members on the lett of the Speaker. And while it may be quite convinced that proportional representation is a good thing. it is making no mistake when it takes steps to secure the data that will gain the approval of the general public. Proportional representation cannot be put Into eta in Ontario without redis- tributing the ridings. When that is done the principle of representation by popul- ' ation will have to be kept in mind. The system, requiring as it does larger ridings with several members for each, is more readily applied to the urban centres than • it is to the rural districts. Another census should be taken in Ontario before propor- tional representation is•epplied. All the signs point to proportional representation becoming the standard method of election in democratic coun- tries. The argument that it encourages class movements is not tenable. The world has just awakened to the fact that for generations the moneyed interests have almost monopolized the powers of Gov- ernment. Any system thet gives every element in the community a fair chance of expression is antimprovement upon the lob -sided representation that the country art long has tolerated. The experience of the farmer of Alberts with proportional representation. which they tried out at their January coaven- tion, is sufficent to commend the system to the agricultural population of Canada. With 1,253 ballots east, only one was spoiled. The electors take readily to the idea of putting a gu-e nppruite their favorite candidates in the order of their preference, rather than marking crosses. Trimble Enough.
