The protected irterests should take
warning from the result of the East Eigin
election. Nothing in the political world
can be surer than the defeat of the
present Government at Ottawa as soon as
the people get an opportunity to deliver
th it verdict, and manufacturers who tie
themselves up with the reactionary ele-
ments represented in the Government
are only storing up trouble for themselves.
The mart9factetrer who takes a m&erate
position will have vastly more influence
with the nen political forces than the
one who wants everything his own way.
Extreme views breed extreme views in
opposition ; mod- ration begets moder.

Mr. Hanna, director in -chief of the
Canadian National Railways, has issued
an ord,r forbidding the employees of the
system to hold political office. The em-
ployees are protesting against what they
consider an infringement cf their rights
as citizens. and Ptemier Meighen on being
appealed to says the Government has
nothing to do with the matter : lit is in
the hinds of the C. N. R. directorate. A
good deal may be said for and. against
Mr. Hanna's order ; the peculiar point is
that the Government, as stated by the
Premier, has no say in a matter so vitally
erecting the national system of railways.
It continues to look very much as if the
Government. in buying the railways now
included in the national system, acquired
a bunch of debts -and
