THE TWO LEADERS.
Hon. Arthur Meighen. Canada's new
Premier, in a speech at Stirling. Ont. last
week indicated the Imes upon which his
Government will frame its policy and its
appeal t., the people. He claimed credit
for the war record of the Union Govern-
ment, and declared that in ao country in
the world had the task of caring for the
wounded and the dependents of the fallen
and the general work of re-establishment
been better performed than in Canada.
He dealt with the railway prob:ems and
declared that the nationalization of the
Canadian National and Grand Trunk
lines was the best possible solution of the
most outstanding of these problems.
On the tariff question he spoke at some
length and indicated that the policy of
protection will continue to be the policy
of the Government under his leadership.
He used the old familiar arguments of tbe
horse market. employment for the work-
ingmen, the encouragement of Canadian
industries, the building up of Canada -
arguments which have done service for
the p alley of protection since the "N. P."
was first brought into Canadian politica.
Perhaps his moat significant declaration
was that he saw only two divisions in this
country -on the one side "those who hold
steady." on the other side "those who
have given way to a passion for change."
His Government world be on the side of
those who held to the old order. the
"stand -patters" (thoygh he did not use
the word). \\
Taken all in all, the speech justifies the
estimate already made of Mr. Meighen
that he is a Tory ot the old school. a
protectionist in principle and practice.
and a defender -sincere. able and deter-
mined -of the things that are. \\
The leader of the Liberal party;, Yr.
Mackenzie King, was heard a few days
later at Hantan's Point, Toronto, where
be was the chief speaker at a party rally.
He objected to Mr. Meighen's claim that
his party was the party of law and order.
and mentioned several matters in which.
he claimed. the Government of which
Mr, Meighen was a member had not pro-
ceeded in a constitutional manner. The
spirit of the constitution would demand
that the Government elected in 1917 to
deal with war measures should. now that
the war is over, submit itself and its
poli_ies to the people, instead of clinging
to office under a new name and a new
leader. Mr. King ,warned the Prime
Minister also that the law of Canada
demanded the holding immediately of an
election in the vaunt riding of East
Elgin.
The people would look in vain to Mr.
Mtignen's utterances. said Mr. King. for
any promise of reduction in national ex-
penditurea. The Liberal leader declared
apecitically against the large amounts

In mentioning the fortieth anniversarY
of Mr. W. H. Kerr as editor of The Brus-
sels Post, The Clinton News -Record
wishes The Post and its editor another
forty years of prosperity. If this wish is
1ulfilled . Brother Kerr will surely break
the long-distance record.
"The art of roadmaking was thoroughly
understood two thousand years ago.' 'says
The Orithia Packet. which bewails the
haphazard way in which work on the
highways is done in that part of the
country. The trouble appears to be that
most of the roadmakers of two thousand
years ago are dead. 'Still, if the editor of
The Packet will take a holiday and visit
Huron county he will find several hundred
miles of admirable roads.
If Mr.vAsquith were that kind of man.
he could score strongly on Lloyd George
by reminding him just now of some of his
speeches when things were not going well
in the war when Mr. Asquith was Pre-
mier. The Polish disaster and the im-
potence of the Lgue of Nations are a
match for some of 'the dismal periods of
the war, and Lloyd George takes on him-
self more authority .for the ruling of the
world than Mr. Asquith ever did.
make it pretty easy for the Government
in the next election. In North York.
although Hon. W. L. Mackenzie King
was already in the field as the Opposition
candidate, Mr. Burnaby has been nomin-
ated for the U. F. O. Similar situations
are developing in other ridings. The
result. it is easy to sex. will be the gift of
these ridings to the Government andi.
dates. This chuckleheaded sort of politics
may suit those members of the U. F. O.
who are agitators pure and simple, with-
out any definite purpose except to make a
noise ; but it must be discouraging to
those members who are sincere in their
desire to see the present Government at
Ottawa uniaated and a better state of
affairs inaugated. Perhaps before the
general electactually take, place the
level -heeded el ent among the United
Farmers may take hold of things and
insist that three coffered elections shall
not give the minoritk the power to rule
the people for another 1?'srliamentary term-
Ponzi turnsout not to be such a "wizard
of finance" after all. His method appar-
ently was to pay big -profits" out o1 the
funds that kept pouring in to him for
investment. As long as the incoming
stream did not fail he was fairly safe; but
some of the investors were bound to COOS
short. The most amazing feature of the
whole affair was the gullibility of the
hundreds who placed their savings. In
Ponzi's keeping -just another illustration
of the Old saying that "another one is
born every minute."

Toronto Tdeers«
Charles Ponzi, the Italian Who made a
fortune in record time in Boiton, is en-
titled to a seat on the platform in the
Hall of Fame. As a get -rich -quick artist
he made the fictitious "Wallingford" look
like a piker. Ponzi was hailed a few days
ago in New York as the financial wizard
of the age. If the ability to extract huge
stuns of money from a gullible public is
the test, Ponzi has no peer. It is one of
the kinks in human nature that many
careful. thrifty people who would not risk
their money in a reasonable investment
will withdraw the savings of a lifetime
from the banks and pour it into the lap of
a Ponzi.

It is to be hoped the public works com-

through a customs tariff. in revising the
tariff to this end, care will be taken of
the position and needs of all the indus-
tries in our country ; but such tariff as
may be necessary in this connection will
be, urder Liberal policy, a tariff for con-
sumers .and producers. and not a tariff to
further the interests of combines. mon-
oprrnes, or of any special or privileged
classes.
Of more significance even than the
speeches of the day was the presence,
with Mr. King of Dr. Henri S. Beland,
one of the heroes of the war and one of
the favorite sons of the Province of
Quebec. The Government now in power
has no representative of the French-
Canadian people. nor is there any indica-
tion that Mr. Meighen's efforts to find
favor in that quarter will be succesalul.
To the Liberal party we must look for the
ion of a regime of harmony and

people. This is the greatest issue in
Canada today. If we canrbt have a united
people the future of the country is under
a great cloud.

First Lesson a Sunless.
"Where's Jackie ?'• asked Mr. Brown
upon his return from business one
evening.
"Gone to bed," was his wife's reply.
"Not ill, 1 hope ?"
"No. I sent him to bed as a punishment
for swearing."
"Swearing ? 1'11 teach the young rascal
to swear '"
Without waiting to switch on the light,
the angry father dashed up thetains to
interview the culprit, only to fall over a
loose stair rod and bump his chin against
the edge of a step. Instantly Mr. Brown
became very fluent, and when the air had
cleared sufficiently tar his wife's voice to
be heard from the hall she called to him.
"Better come down now : I'm sure
Jackie has heard enough for his first
lesson."
