Prem r Meighen, in thanking the the ince: c and c.tunvil mid the cit:- zens of t'1utnn, said it was among, the happlete moments of his life when he e eld sleet his fellow-eiti- zene of a.l. parties anti without thought of party feel'ins . He snitt the coining to Western Ontario tool his mind back to the time when h spent a; laborous, and perhaps use- ful, end certainly as haply days, in this part of the country. He said this was his first visit to C:�inton as premier but he 'recollected very viv- idly a visit to Clinton in the summer of 1896 when he spent a very happy Sunday in the town, one of the most vivid recollections being the difficulty of financing his way home again. "it does my heart good to come back again and see the familiar scenes to this part of the country," he contin- ued. "I am not sorry I went into pol- ities, it would be affectation on my part to say anything else, but my mind isms back with tender memor- ies to the years spent in this good old part of the province." The hall was filled with people to hear and see the prettier and three hearty cheers and a tiger were given in his honour. : title as everyone was anxious to hear the Premier. I Hon. II Gt:thrie was the' next speaker.- Ile sold the present was i the most critical time since eonfed- i elation; that the war was respons- • ible for many.• political changes. He said the Farmers' Party .was the 1` force Govern-, formidable f tui the Govc n. inent'had to face; that while in On-. tailo Mr. King had in the last Parte- ( anent tan old-time Liberals, the Prentice had oxact'.y ten old-time !

He said l six or seven seats -could be count- ! ed on in the Maritime Provinces and s !-Quebec eetis-st:.l. a "Solid B1en'' lie e ' said the Farmers' Party had its.start I in the Wetern Provincee, where there were many American settlerrs who naturally locked toward the South and wanted to trade with "The folks bnek home." The fainiers' Party in the west was a class organization and made no bones about saying so, Ile raid Mr. King was desirous of "hooc- ing up'r with the Farmers' Party end when in 1919 the Liberal platform was adopted its, main plank was its tariff policy, .the two planks being aln>,ost identical. "Mr. King is run- ning away now from his platform in Ontario." said Mr. Guthiis, Ile then went on to show that a free trade policy would be disastt'ous for Can- ada. "Why do American manufac- turers locate in Canada?" asked Mr. Guthrie. "They come becauec it is cheaper to manufacture here than to pay.the duty on their goods and if we had free trade they would go back within thirty days. Which is better for Canada, to give work to men in the United States or in Can- ada?" Hon. Hugh Guthrie, Minister of Militia and Defence, accompanied the prettier. from Guelph, and was with hint on the paltform, together with the mayor and council, Mr. J. J. Mer - nee and 'members of the .connnittee, Lt.-Col,'H..l3. Combe entertained Premier Meighen, Hon. H. Guthrie *and a :few friends to luncheon. It had been planned that the pup- ils of the Model school should form in processioette, and accompany the Premier to 'the skating arena, where , the speaking took place but the rain prevented this. The band accompan- ied his ear, however, to the rink uoor, playing cnlil•ening airs.. Mr, and Mrs. Censitt and Mr, and Mrs, Elliott of Stephen, County Cleric •Holman, Mr. .T. Ransford, Mt/. D. Cantelon, Dr, Thompson and the local cle'gnnen had seats on the platform, The . veils' was almost_ tilled, it be- ing estireated that there were be- tween twenty-five hundred and three thousand people present, and the , Premier was greeted enthusiastically on his appearance. Mr, C, G. Midclletoe, president of ' the South Huron National Liberal and Conservative Association, occu- pied the chair, He diel not take ;much time in his opening address, saying that he knew the ;people had not come to, hear himebut to hear the Premier, whom he described as the "greatest man in Canada today." He siso referred to the ;place he bad won Tor himself amongst the leading alien of the Empire during his recent visit to England I•l:e said he was also glad to. have. present the man who.•Itad. represented South Huron in Parliament for the past. ten years, andcalled oh Mi•.

He said the presidents of the Farmers' Clime were working for his Tanen, He con- gratulated the people on such a large gathering and bespoke for Mr Mer- ner a majority of votes on Do, 6th. Premier Meighen was given a great ovation on Inc rising to speak and it was some little time. before he could proceed. The great majority of those present had never heard hint before and his style of address was favor- ably commented upon by many af- terwards. He speaks with the manner of a man who has common sense him- self and who takes it for granted that his hearers are plain, common sense people and he proceeds to talk sens- ibly to them; It was a plain, "come, let es reason together," sort of an address, the sort that appeals most to people who are giving public af- fairs any thoughtful attention. He said Mr. King had amused him of "seizing power;" because he had not been elected premier by avote of the people. "Was Premier Drury el- ected prettier of Ontario?" asked Mr.' Meighen. "He was not even a Candidate in the election which re- turned Itis party to power. I em not suggesting that Premie' Drury is holding his'position in any unlawful way, but I cannot see any reason why I slued(' obe accused of unlawfully "seizing .power" because' the people had not chosen me • premier, I ata now before the people," he continued, "the electors, who have been multi,- plied one hundred per cent. by the Government I represent and 1 shall take their verdict." Ile said there had been criticism because the,ciosere had been applied, that it was said it was strangling. the will of parliament, "It is getting the will of parliament," said Mr. Meighen, "by making itim- possibie for teen so disposed to take up the time of parliament by long- cllian w -out speeches at the' expense of the country, If you sat in\ the gal- leries of the }louse of Commons for a month," said he, "you would say that the closure ought to he applied much oftener than it is.' Mr Meighen then referred to a re - :Nemo rade by Me, Spotton in re- garcl'tte the repei•t circulated that he had in sone public speech called the :farmers Bolshevists, "1 de not troub- le to answer all the imputations evade against me," remarked he, 'kbnt I cls object to an imptitatfon which paints- roe as an idiot.

'!I am reedy to publish this letter hs eon est have permission :from the writer," said Air, Meighen. Mr, Meighen reforeed,to the .record of the Government during the war and Sinee and said Opponents of the Government were members of ft and were responsible foie its nets. He said also ghat the country was indebted to . the Liberals who Joined with the Goverment in •199.7, Ile Stud be was ready to defend the wooed of the Gavernment and he would lace Air. Creran' to put his finger en the spot where the government ]tad pee itself under the ,power o -t "Big Bust- ness," aboutwhich he rnacle vague in- sinuations. "He was a lnenber of that Government for two years," he said, "and if itwas doing what was not right he should have resigned anti told the country about it.' He talks in a Waite manneer but makes no specific charges," continued Mr. Meighen, "I ask hint to make some specific charge." "Mr. Meighen also spoke of the rail- way problem. Ile said the railway problem was left as a legacy by the Government of 1903-4 and they weve dealing with it to the best of then - ability for the geed of Canada. "Does - Mr. Crerar tell you what he would Flo?" asked Mr. Meighen, "No, he orare:y throws up tris hands and says` something should .be cdine.' The lean who has no policy as to what should he done is rather too vague a man to be intrusted with the premiership of the Doluinion," be eoncluded. The Premier then spoke of the plat- ter of taxat:on and proved from iig- ttres that the rich man - was taxed higher in Canada than either in the United States or England and that if tate rich man wished to save money it would pay him to live in either of the -two •countries named: IIe wanted to know how much better it would be if' all the rich men left the country. Who then would pay the taxes, which have to be paid? The Premier ypoke of the tariff and said that for a country situated as Canada was a moderate tariff was necessary. He snake of the platform of the Liberal Party and of the U. 1'. 0. and said that they were almost identical as to the tariff and that they were working toward free trade. •"T am a^etl:ned of 111:sr•epreeenting the platform of the Liberal Party," said Mr. Meighen, "but I do not know how I ant to describe it, only as it reads. There it is, calling for a free list, (citing the articles on the free, list) and a substantial reduction of others. bit King says he wants a thrift 'for the people', but who knows what 'a tariff for the people' is? Nobody, least of all Mr. King." "If ,you vote for Mr. King," said Mr, Meighen, " you are voting for one of two things, either believing that lie will put into force the plat- form of the party adopted in 1910 or thatlie is dishonest and will not put into, effect the policy to which he is pledged." e He said the country was unsettled Just because it was not known what the tariff policy was to be and that when that was settled there would be a settlingrclown into some sort` of stability. He said that it was his conviction that Canada should make her tariff to suit her own needs, without regard to other nations. "We should not put ourselves in the position where we are dependent upon legislation at Washington," he said. "We Faust be tine masters of our own fate." "If yott think I am right," said "Ir. Meighen. "I shall be glad of your support on Dec. 60..1 do not want the support of the people who have no confidence in me." • ANNUAL CONVENTION ONTARIO RELIGIOUS EDUCATION CO UNCI L For three days, October 25th, 26th and 27th, Brantford will be the cen- tre for all Western Ontario Sunday School enthusiasts.

S. No. 1, who advo- cated plenty of seatwoek of a varied character. For infant classes she would provide picture postcards cut in sections; toothpicks for numbers. sand for moulding. and blank maps for the teaching of geography. Miss M. Lansing of Clinton, followed. She claimed that busy work in the seats helped attention and order. 'Seat work should be along lessons pre- viouly taught. Miss J. S. Murray then gave her report of the 0. E. A. meeting held. at Toronto during taster week. The outstanding features of this year's meeting were the large number of practical subjects discussed in aid departments; the interest taken in the Men's and Women's Federationmovement,and the attendance of ov_ er 1,500 echool trustees.

Mr. Nelson E. l)ahnns delivered the president's address, taking as the theme of his subject, "As Others See Us". He thought teachers were los- ng the social prominence they' held' en years ago. This is partly account- ed for by the growth of democracy and largely by the ineficiney of some teaohe's.

Therefore, the teachers' service sltoulcl be that of a profitable servant. This can best be done by co-operalion of teacher and trustees. Miss Jean S. Murray was appoint- ed Institute Librarian. Gun secretary, W. H. Johnston, having left the profession, desiretf% to be relieved of his official duties and so his resignation was accepted with a strong• feeling of reluctance.

The currencies of nearly every country in the world are depreciated. The Canadian dollar in the United States is subject to a heavy discotint causing a loss of over one hundred million dollars in exchange annually. Europe is overwhelmed with war debts—unemploy- ment is acute — and the restoration to pre-war conditions is slow. . While Canada is in a much mord favorable condition than many countries, yet there is evidence of stag- nation,. instability, unemployment and lack of con- fidence. Taxes are heavy because of the country's efforts in the Great War, but have become burdensome on account of the misconceived policies and blunders' of Govermnents that directed Canada's affairs prior to 1911. These conditions are largely the direct aftermath of the war, but they must be dealt with fearlessly and constructively. This is no time to consider experi- mental changes, or the theories of visionaries. This.is no time for Crerar and his Free Trade policy. This is no time for King and his wobbling "charted" policies, varying with each provincial boundary. It is the time to cling to orderly, stable Government in the interest of all the people; to be guided by the experience of the past, proceeding upon lines that have been proven sound. It is the time to place the destinies of Canada again in the hands of a Government led by a sane, coura- geous Canadian who has safely brought the country through the trying years of reconstruction, and upon whole we can rely to retain and initiate policies in the interest, not of a group or class but of all the people. It is the time to support Arthur Meighen and his Candidates. 41.3 The National Liberal and Conservative Party 61 Publicity Committee was appreciated by the ratepayers of his section. Rev. A. A. Trumper a member of teeter Board, spoke briefly on the importance of the work of the tea- cher and likened their work to that of the "Great Teacher," Mr; Roy Stonehouse then followed with his subject, "Entrance Work." IIe summarized his remarks by pointing out that pupils should be taught to take the proper meaning out of 'all (mestions, to be concise in the answering of all papers and to have all their work exaanples of neatness. Votes of thanks were tendered the Exeter Board for the use of the settee); also, to those who took part in Thursday evening's program • and to those opening their hones to the teachers attending a most suc- cessful convention. One hundred and thirty teachers were present • at the convention.
