A SOLEMN FARCE AT OTTAWA.
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

people the word "Unionist" has become.
has s ll mnly decided upon a new name

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

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

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.

getting ready for the fray, and intens to

ACHESON & SON
To a Canadian newspaper reporter a
few weeks ago Governor Cox stilted his
position un the League of Nations Question.
"President Wilson s policy is my policy."
he declared. "1 am absolutely opposed
to any compromise with the principle a
the fundamentais pt the treaty, -and the
League must not be disturbed. To my
mind the civilization ut the world is
indivisible ani we who live in the Carted
States cannot 'build up a civilization
which can live separate and apart from
the great family ut nations. 1 do nut
and cannot believe that the Ia ge majority
of American citizens are in favor of a
policy which would isolate us from the
rest of mankind." .

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

points to the growing costs of coal and
gasoline. and argues that the tree of elec-

ation purposes would tend to relieve
Ontario of these increasing cosh. This

Ari inexperienced young divine was
officiating at his first funeral. Desiring
to ask the congregation to step up and
view the remains, in his nervousness he
worded the invitation in this way:
"And now, dear friends, will you kindly
pass round the bier."
Over all those drawn, gloomy facet) in
that vast edifice there spread such a look
of mild. peaceful. happy expectation that
the young clergyman. perceiving the error
he had made, almost broke down.

Don't Worry
About Your Victory Bonds
Victory Bonds today are stronger than they
have ever been. 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. This should mean
a greatly increased demand, and have a
strengthening effect on prices.
if you have money less well employed, we
recommend that you invest it in Victory
Loan Bonds at present prices.
Write us, and we shall be glad to furnish you
with full particulars.

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.
