Wellington Hay of Listowel by a majority estimated Monday night at about. 623, Premier Hearst and his followers at Toronto have been told that they have been tried and found wanting, that their bold upon the people is on the wane, that the people are disgusted with their regime of extra- vagance and lack of forethought in dealing with questions of social, agricultural and industrial development; that in this oemocratic country the attempt of the Government party machine to name their candidate with- out consulting the people is resented; and that they disprove of the policy of the Government as enunciated by Mr. Hanna of employing prison labor, while factories of the country are idle, as instanced in regard to supplies for the Ontario Hospital at Orpington, England. From a Conservative stronghold since, the fall of the Ross administration in 1905, North Perth has swung into line with Peel, Dundee and Hamilton West, and has sent another supporter to To- ronto to uphold Mr. Rowell in his struggle for the masses. To -day's ver- dict was a remarkable tribute to Lead- er Rowell, and the splendid work of his followers. Not in many a day has Stratford witnessed such a demonstra- tion as followed the receipt of the ver- dict. Enthusiasm in the ranks of the Liberals, which ran high from the out- set, knew no bounds when the result was known, and the city was given over to great crowds, who paraded about. The campaign, though only of two weeks duration, attracted provincial - wide attention by reason of the de- termined effort made by Conservatives to retain the seat. Only , Saturday, Premier Hearst gave out a statement, in which he expressed confidence that the riding would return the Govern- ment candidate. Hearst himself, all save two of his cabinet, half a dozen members of the provincial, and as many from the Federal House participated in the campaigh in behalf of Makins. DO YOUR BIT FOR THE FALL FAIR (Farmers' Advocate) There is one line of work where many farmers are called upon to assist them- selves, and that is with the fall fair. When this is read the fair dates for Ontario will have been, or will soon be, announced, and they should act as a signal for all directors and committee men to get busy. Some directors are energetic in assisting the secretary before the event, on fair days. and after it is over. Others app Bar only for their badge and dinner ticket. Fortunately the majority of the officers are big enough men to see the import- ance of fostering the local fair, and making a success, but we are appealing to the indifferent directors who had not the manliness to decline the honors when appointed, or the spirit to help when needed. A fail fair is a local event, and every farmer, whether an officer or not, should have pride enough in it to boost it in every way. A greater effort should be made to get the good stock out this season, but perhaps this cannot be done without sheds or some better accomodation. Few breeders will risk tying valuable horses or cattle to a fence post. There is also, generally sneaking, room for considerable improvement in the display of agricultural products. Pianos and sewing machines are useful all the time, and are alright at the fair, but the farmers might adopt some of the merchants enthusiasm regarding the display of goods, and make the products of the old farm eclipse anything the town can bring forth. Endeavour to make a strong feature out of some class of live stock or farm products; it will draw the crowd and help the fair for the succeeding years. Some fall faire are noted for their show of heavy and light horses, others for their display of fruit, some again for poultry and vegetables, while still others make.

NUTRS ON PROVINCIAL INTEREST. AGRICULTURE It is interesting to note that not only Liberal newspapers but organs with a decidedly government leaning are from time to time taking up the question of the necessity of some drastic change in the administration of the present Department of agriculture. The Liberal members in the Provincial House for three successive sessions have done their utmost to persuade the Ontario Government to adopt a more comprehensive policy and to show by their actions that the importance of agriculture is recognized by the Provincial Cabinet. The present Minister in the Department of Agricul- ture.(Hon. Jas. Duff), although person- ally a worthy gentleman, is not by, any means the man for the post. This is conceded by many Conservatives as well as Liberals throughout the Province. But although dissatisfaction has been publicly expressed on numerous occasions, both in the press and on the platform, the Government persists in standing by its incompetent Minister, thereby condoning the absolute lack of leadership in the Department of which he is the head. The Toronto "Telegram" (Ind. Con.) in a quotation appearing in its editorial columns of July 4th, sums up the situation very accurately, The quotation reads as follows: — "Ontario has in Hon. J. S. Duff as good a Minister of Agriculture as Ontario ever had; and Ontario never had a Minister of Agriculture who was worth more than 815 a week. The "Telegram" further remarks that "Ontario's Agricultural Leadership has never developed size approaching the size of the opportunity that has beckon- ed, and still beckons, to every Minister of Agriculture." The Liberals, as yet in opposition, have been showing leadership in con- nection with agriculture in the legis- lature and a sympathetic willingness to study the question outside the House. The agricultural community is taking note of the attitude of the two parties; and there are indications of such a slide at the next general election that The Department of Agriculture, as at present constituted will slip into de- served oblivion. THE NEW LIBERALISM Mr. Rowell's great policy of social reform has been termed "Aggressive Liberalism". Aggressive Liberalism was urgently needed when Mr. Rowell seized the reins of the Liberal chariot and bodly attacked the greatest social evil of our time, the liquor traffic. During the contest which has just taken place in North Perth the government has been whining that they have re- ceived no credit or support from the Temperance people to offset the antagonism of the Liquor Interests over the passing, by the government of the Ontario Temperance Act. The temperance people evidently remember that Mr. Rowell was the man to raise the temperance issue and force the government's hand, and who therefore should have the credit for this out- standing measure. Constructive legislation for the benefit of the masses is Mr. Rowell's aim; and be and his supporters are working diligently to discover the best means to attain the end. The Liberal Leader hopes that his visit to England will equip him with a fund of useful inform- ation on which to draw, in his endeavor to grapple with social problems in this country. The just demand of the work- ing man for a consideration has been already met and acknowledged by Mr. Rowell in his work in connection with the Workmen's Compensation Act. His proposal to institute Old Axe Pensions and Unemployment Insuran is being enthusiastically received L,. industrial Ontario. The Liberal Leader recognizes not. only the need for increased agricultural and industrial development, but also the fact that the care of the human element in production is of paramount importance. The immigration into Canada for the past fiscal year was 48,537, the smallest since 1900. W. B. Adams, editor of The Westport Mirror, was drowned while fishing in Rideau Lake. Wesley Harris was thrown from a load of hay near St. Catharines, break- ing his neck, and dying in the hospital.
