MR. STEVENS' POSITION
The political sensation of the week
is the retirement of Hon. H. H. St" -
ens from the Daanett Cabinet because
of a falling-out with his leader over
the price -spreads and maw buying in-
vestigation. Because of kis work In
connection with this luvestigatioo Mr.
Stevens bad become easily the most
popular member of the Ottawa Cab-
inet, and his retirement at this junc-
ture is a severe blow to the Govern-
ment. It leaves the Government open
to the charge of being friendly, 1I 1141
subservient, to the "big Interests"
whose methods were being a:posed and
attacked by Mr. Stevens. Newspaper
empporters of the Government are hod
pot to 1t to excuse Mr. Bennett's atti-
tude and at the sum time give Mr.
Steven the credit whirl popular .e-
cialm ascribes to MR The Toronto
Telegram (Conservative), however,
takes Mr. Stevens to task and more
than Iaslnuates that the "talkative
'Thlatis alderman" from Vancouver is
Overrated. It says:
Whether intentionally or other-
wise, Mr. Stevens has pet the
Conservative party in a false posi-
tion. He has taken an Indefen-
sible poslttoe yet has the satisfac-
tion of knowing that any rebuke
for els irregularitlr will be wide-
ly misconstrued as an anent* to
silence the investigation with
which he was ldeatlled. He may
console himself with the idea that
whatever happen' to the Conser-
retlee party. all will be well with
H. H. Stevens. -He may have de-
,sided that the Government cannot
hope to wether the depression
storm, sad that be may come tack
after the approaching elections as
leader of the Conservative party.
The times offer mucb to anyone
who can take advantage of the
tide. even to a former talkatire
little alderman who was defeated.

trine of his paper. The Bark. Falls
Arrow. At the annual &w114 mat
held up there the Burk's Falls editor
entered 1n the "wildcat" class, for
those who had not plowed for ten
years. The entrants were a trucker,
