'THURSDAY MARCH 21, 1912.
TWO OPPOSITION LEADERS
i
AND TWO PREMIERS.
(Guelph Mercury.)
During the first Parliament of the
Province: of Ontario, from 1867 to 1871,
the Premier of the Government was a
veteran Liberal: John Sanfield Mac-
donald, who had constructed what is
called a "coalition Ministry." Owing to
a personal quarrel with Mr. George
Brown he would not select for col-
leagues any of Mr. Brown's friends;
owing to his own selectio.t by John A.
Macdonald he seemed to consider him-
self under obligation to choose two
Conservatives and two Liberals as
members of his Cabinet.
After the first session of that Par-
liament Edward Blake became leader
of the Liberal Opposition. There were
able men in the first Legislative As-
sembly, including such Ministers as
John Sandfield Macdonald himself, E.
B. Wood, and M. C. Cameron, but Mr.
Blake soon showed himself a parlia-
mentarian of rare versatility, as he
had already showed himself leader
at the bar of Upper Canada. By the
opening of the second Parliament he'.
had overthrown the Sanfield Macdonald
Ministry and established the Liberal
party in office, which they held contin-
uously for a whole generation.
It is interesting to inquire how this
was accomplisned. The explanation is
in part the intellectual and legal pre-
eminence of Mr. Blake, but that would
not have counted for much had he been
a blundering strategist. He won by
parliamentary skill and personal char-
acter. His most destructive device
was to propose measures that ought to
be carried out, so that his veteran, but
self sufficient, opponent would have
them voted down, and thus display his
unfitness. John Sanfield Macdonald
failed through inflexibility and lack of
magnaminity.
At that time Sir James Whitney,
also a Liberal, was a young lawyer in
John Sandfield Macdonald's office. It
is not to his discredit that he allowed
personal loyalty to his professional and
political chief to draw him into the
Conservative party, but it is not to his
credit that he failed to understand the
real cause of Mr. Macdonald's downfall
and to profit by the knowledge. His
self-sufficiency is far in excess of Mr.
Macdonald's who had ample supply and
to spare.
To complete the curious parallel, the
present leader of the Opposition is a
comparatively young man, who has al-
ready won distinction at the bar of
Ontario, and who has by some intuition
adopted the strategy that proved so
effective in the case of Mr. Blake.
During the present session, short as it
has been, he has stepped in ahead of
Sir James Whitney with advanced pop-
ular propositions and has thus forced
the hand of the Premier and the Gov-
ernment. This may be expected to go
on during the remainder of the session
and from year to year.
Already the personal and professional
superiority of Mr. Rowell has been
made manifest, and it will become
more and more pronounced as the years
come and go, for Sir James resembles
the French Bourbons in that he forgets
nothing and learns nothing. With Mr.
A. G. MacKay for his right hand man,
Mr. Rowell should be able to make,
during the present Parliament, a fine
record for himself and his party, and
this cannot be without a serious effect
on the fate of the Conservative party
at the next election.
THE GRIEVANCES OF THE WEST.
The Calgary News -Telegram, while
expressing no sympathy with the agi-
tation for the separation of the East
from the West, complains that the
latter pays dearly for the union which
now exists. Among the "burdens" of ,
the westerners it enumerates the fol-
lowing:
The loss of the natural market to the
south, which costs them thousands of
dollars a day.
The loss of the control of their na-
tural resources, which costs them mil-
lions a year.
They pay enormous sums in freight
rates on their grain to Atlantic ports,
when it might far more easily, far less
expensively, and far more profitably be
shipped into the United States. (From the TIMES of Mar. 18, 1892.)
They also pay, indirectly, immense
sums to "the interests," this outlay
being represented by the high cost of
living. The quarterly review services in con -

may have made an error of judgment,
but Mr. Borden will understand later
on, if he does not now, that Western
sentiment must be reckoned with by
any party which hopes to hold power in
this country.
The Expositor sizes up the situation
correctly. The talk of the West seced-
ing from the East is not only idle, it is
wrong. The Dominion has a system of
government that enables every pro-
vince -or section to raise its voice for
justice, in the conduct of public affairs,
and if the aggrieved ones unite in seek-
ing redress it will be accomplished.
Sir John Macdonald said years ago,
"Manitoba cannot be curbed." Neither
can the much greater West.

UEADACUE
Seems To Be Habitual
With Many People.
Some are seldom, if ever, free from it,
suffering continually and wondering why
they can get no relief.
Headaches arc generally caused by
some derangement of the stomach or
bowels, or both.
Burdock Blood Bitters removes acidity
of the stomach, improves digestion, regu-
lates the constipated bowels, and pro-
motes a perfect circulation of pure blood
to all portions of the body, thereby curing
the headaches by removing the cause.
Mrs. L. Maguire, Kinmotint, Ont.,
writes: ---"I am writing you a few lines
to tell you what your Burdock Blood
Bitters has done for me, I used to be
greatly troubled with headaches, but after
using two bottles of Burdock Blood
Bitters I was completely cured. This
was two years ago and I have had no
return of headache since."

Toronto, Ont.
(London Advertiser.)
A spirit of unrest is stirring the
farming counties of Western Ontario.
Throughout the whole section there is
a rattling of the bones, a shaking off
of somnolent, "let -well -enough alone"
ideals, and an awakening to the value
of business principles as applied to
farming.
An Advertiser representative in his
travels through this section found
these evidences on every hand. Pub-
licity associations are trying to stop
the drain to the cities, which has so
long depleted the rural districts, and
are counteracting the allure of the
West by presenting the neglected op-
portunities nearer home. The slogan,
"Stay in Ontario," is being shouted
abroad with all the power of printer's
ink, and the call is backed up by an
imposing array of facts and reasons.
In some parts American farmers are
flocking in to take the place' of those
who saw their visions in the cities or
in the West. They are co-operating
with the native-born in making West-
ern Ontario the real Garden of Can-
ada. Although these new arrivals are
not coming in anything like the num-
bers which would have been attracted
had the passage of the reciprocity
pact thrown open the markets of the
American cities to the farmers of On-
tario, there is still a steady stream of
immigration. Even with the more re-
stricted market, the relatively low
value of land (which would save in-
creased under reciprocity), makes it
profitable for them to leave their
homes in Indiana, Ohio and Illinois to
come across the border. They can sell
their high-priced farms, made high-
priced by the market of 90,000,000,
and buy an equal amount of equally
fertile land in Ontario for less than
one-half the price they received over
the line.
Meanwhile for every American who
settles on Ontario there is a Canadian
who goes to the West or to the cities
in search of the opportunities which
clear-sighted foreigners find on the
land which he abandoned It is time
the Ontario farmer realized more clear-
ly the advantages he has.

COWS AT CALVING TIME.
Bran or oats, or a mixture of bran
and oats with a little oil meal, or some
other seeds rich in protein, makes a
good combination for a cow before calv-
ing. Corn silage and roots are very
acceptable feeds if the cow has no
pasture. In connection with the suc-
cullent feed, the cow should have a
liberal allowance of clover or alfalfa
hay, or some other roughage rich in
protein.
A cow at this time should not be
fed more roughage than she will eat
up clean. If fed too liberally there is
danger of her getting into the habit
of eating the most palatable parts of
the roughage and wasting much good
feed. A cow on pasture needs no
grain, but a little roughage would be
very acceptable. Of course, if the ani-
mal is thin in flesh it is well to feed
some grain; the amount must depend
entirely upon the condition of the
cow.
If the cow has been properly fed
there will be no necessity of giving
any medicine after calving. A bran
mash over which some warm water
has been poured is a very acceptable
feed, especially in cold weather.
Ground oats mixed with grain and a
pail warm water can be given; for it
will be found that her feverish and
exhaustive condition at this time de-
mands considerable water, and it is
much better to be given warm than
cold. She should not be exposed to
cold draughts of air.
At the beginning of her milking
period the cow should be fed very light-
ly of grain, but a liberal allowance of
good silage, roots and hay. As she
gains strength and resumes her normal
condition the grain portion of her ra-
tion may be increased. The increase
may be kept up as long as the animal
responds to the extra feed. When she
has reached her maximum flow of milk
she should be fed a little less grain.
The time to establish the milk flow
of the cow is when she is fresh. It
should take three to four weeks to
bring her to a full flow of milk and to
eating a full ration. There in no other
time in the period of lactation when
care and judicious feeding have a more
important bearing upon her yearis re-
cord. The dairy cow should be fed
liberally, bat care `should be taken not
to overfeed her and carry her beyond
her capacity. This works injury not
only to her milk function but to her
breeding powers.
With proper care and feeding there
is little danger of caked udders. If,
however, the udder becomes unduly
and painfully extended, it may be re-
lieved by withdrawing some of the
contents or by warm fomentations.-

Cow's Great Yield.
Experts of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture have estimat-
ed that the wealth produced in one
year by the 22,000,000 cows in that
country is $800,000,000, or an average
profit of $36.36 per cow per annum.
If every cow in the country was like
Sophie, a pretty Jersey on the C. I.
Hood farm at Lowell, Mass., the total
wealth yield by 22,000,000 cows would
be ;1,240,000,000 this year. But all
cows are not like Sophie. She is a
champion. Her record for twelve
months is 14,378 pounds, 3 ounces of
milk, equalling 1,005 pounds, 11 ounces
of butter. She yielded a net profit ter
twelve months of $565,22.

Although the strip secured by On-
tario as a right of way for its railway
through Manitoba to Hudson Bay is
only five miles wide, yet the Hamilton
Spectator'says it is wider than a door,
and will serve. That is true. It will
enable us to reach Hudson Bay, which
we always knew we could reach if we
built a railway to that sea. The ab-
surdity Lies in regarding the right of
way as a tremendous concession grant-
ed by Manitoba, and a victory for On-
tario.
The Canadian Pacific Railway and
the Grand Trunk Railway have lines
running through the United States, but
no one regards this as a great conces-
sion to Canada. Ontario men who have
the price of a ticket have no difficulty
making their way to Quebec, Halifax,
St. John or Boston. The Canadian
Northern Railway has a wider strip of
land in Ontario's clay belt than Ontario
has in Manitoba. One would suppose
from some of the comments of the
Government papers that there was im-
minent danger of Manitoba building a
Chinese wall to keep Hudson Bay, and
that Mr. Borden, Mr. Rogers and Sir
James Whitney had saved Ontario from
this fate.

great excitement. The oil is said to be
the first got in any considerable quan-

Canada and is pronounced by experts
to be by far the best ever found in the
Dominion and equal to the best in the
United States. It is a lubricating oil,
much lighter in color than the Petrolea
samples. At the first pumping nine
barrels were filled at the rate of four

The call of Matthew, the first part
of today's lesson, is found in Matthew
and Luke, as well as in Mark. But
the rest of the lesson, including
Matthew's entertainment, and the par-
ables of the new and old cloth and •
the new and old wine are found only
in Mark and Luke. In all the acts
and words of Jesus we must see God
the Father, remembering Such words
as these: "I can of mine ownself do
nothing." "The Father who sent Me
gave me a commandment, what I
should say and whet I should speak."
"The Father who dwelleth in me, He
doeth the works" (John v, 30; xii,
49; sir, 10). His compassion upon the •
multitude and His readiness to teach
them. no matter how weary He was,
is our example that we may follow
His steps in this as well as in His
meekness and patience (I Pet. 11, 21).
Matthew the publican (Matt. x, 3),
or Levi, as he is called by Mark and
Luke, may have been turning to
Christ in his heart, as probably Zac-
cheus did, while continuing with
doubt in his unpopular calling and
longing to be done with it. We might
infer this from the readiness with
which he left all and rose up and fol-
lowed Jesus. Many are still being
called, but few are ready to follow so
promptly. Something of Matthew's
gratitude because Jesus called him 1s
seen in the great feast which he made
for Jesus in his own house. inviting a
great company of publicans and sin-
ners thereto. To see Him eat with
publicans and sinners was to the self
righteous Pharisees a great stumbling
block, for it was' their way to have no
fellowship with such nor any love for
their souls. rather to pass by on the
other side of the street and to say,
"God, I thank Thee that I am not as
other men * * * or even as this
publican" (Luke xviif, 11). They never
said anything more beautiful or true
concerning Him than when they said,
"This man receiveth sinners and eat-
eth with them" (Luke xv, 2). Thal
words of Jesus to them at this time
are both a parable and its explanation,
the parable being, "They that are
whole have no need of the physician,
but they that are sick," and His ex-
planation of it, "I come not to call the
righteous, but sinners, to repentance."
These words and those concerning the
old and new cloth and wine are found
also in Matt. ix, 10-17. and seeming-
ly in the same connection as here,
but according to the gospel harmony
the record in Matthew referred to a
later incident. Be that as it may, His
words are more than time or place,
and we know that He did repeat some
of His words -as, for example, the
Sermon on the Mount and the Sermon
on the Plain (Matt. v to vii and Luke
17-49).
The righteous whom He did not
come to call are spoken of in Luke
evil', 9, as "certain ones which trusted
in themselves that they were righteous
and despised others." We know that
in the matter of true righteousness,
as God sees it and desires it, "there is
none righteous -no, not one." But
there are those who, "being ignorant
of God's righteousuess and going
about to establish their own righteous-
ness, do not submit themselves to the
righteousness of God" (Rom. Iii, 10;
x, 3).
To associate the disciples of John
and of the Pharisees seems like a very
bad combine, but some of John's dis-
ciples were no doubt from the Phari-
sees and, like too mapy church folks
of today, had not dropped their mere
formalities. In Zech. vii we read
that when the people inquired of the
Lord as to whether they should con-
tinue certain fasts or not He asked
them, "Did ye fast at all to Me, even
to Me?" Then He told them what
true fasting in His sight was (Zech.
vii, 4-10; Isa. lviii, 0-10). Note how
He speaks of Himself as the Bride-
groom and His disciples as the chil-
dren of the bride chamber, no doubt
looking onward to the marriage of
the Lamb of Rev. xis. We might
well ask: Where is now the fasting be-
cause of the Bridegroom's absence?
Where are those who long for His re-
turn, who rejoice greatly because of
His voice, glad to decrease if only He
may increase? (John iii, 29, 30.)
There is much patchwork in the
teaching of our day which is directly
contrary to the teaching of our Lord
concerning the necessity of a new
birth. The old garment of our 1111 -
righteousness cannot be mended. It
must be a new garment throughout,
even the garment of Christ's right-
eousness which He has provided at
such infinite cost (II Cor. v. 21; Rom.
£L V E E�TIS L
x, 4). However unpopular the doe -
Wee may be, it is most plainly writ-
ten that "the carnal mind is enmity

the law of God, neither indeed can
be" (Rom. viii, 7). Not a shred of
Adam and Eve's fig leaf aprons could
be tolerated. The coats of chins were
all sufficient. We must sing from the
heart the words of Iso. 1st, 10. The
so called new thought or new theolo-•
gy will not do. for it is not of God
and must therefore be from the ad-
versary, who flatters man by telling
him that he is all right and only needs
some improvement, Which he himself
