This week appears' to have changed from Sunday to Tuesday as the stormy clay.

Wigle, member for Cen tie Huron, is losing no time in bring Mg the needs $f "his constituency t the notice of the House. at Toronto On ionda i IV y he .,node his "maitre speech," and has been congratulate by many on the ability and force wit which he advocated its' needs. Th following synopsis appeared in th daily papers of Tuesday;, E. R. Wigle, els successor to a Ion line of Liberal members from Centr and West Hurcu, felt himself in unique position n conveying' felicita tiol,s to, Mr. Speaker and -the Prime Minister, He paid his respects also to lion, Manning .Doherty, who assisted the U.I.O. candidate in the election by speaking at Londesboro, . which hamlet, Mr. Wigle noted, gave for the first time.a Coirservative majority. "The •educational system of On- tario,". he said, "Etas not progressed with the times, aitd. I believe that the 1?rime, Minister, 'a keen' observer of the people's wants, will so mold it that we will have something worth .wkile, As I see it, it is educating the farmers off the land. We 'want things SO changed that when young people show aptitude along any particular line they may receive education: suit- able thereto." With regard to fhe exodus of. young men across the line, Mr. Wigle said the Government might very well es- tablish a 'back toiOntario" bureau in Detroit. Discussing the case of Chas. Bulpitt, English ` home boy,, near Goderich, he said tt "While 'I do not exonerate the farmers there from blame, I think it rests with the school` that sent the boy ever. A boy of his physique and education should not have been placed on a farm." Hydro, the member described as a burning question in Huron. "The Prime Minister," 110 said, '!has intimated that a cei•tain'bor • drip will be given on rural lilies. I believe in such municipalities as Goderich, where the price per horsepower has grown from $37 the year I became Mayor, to $55 at the present, some re- dress should' be offered, In the Town f Seaforth the rate is $40, in Clinton $48, the Village of Brussels $71, and 131yth $91; all from the same system and almost within a stone's throw. I believe if we are tO prosper iii these small towns, if mei industries are to grow, the only help -for us, is to have cheaper power, anil I believe • the Government will b'e well advised to help the municipalities paying over a certain amount.- I have nothing Init the greatest re- spect for Sir Adam Beck and think he is a wonderful man and'. has under- taken a wonderful •project, but as ap- plied to Goderich and the municipali- ties I have enumerated, it seems to he working hardship. The present sys- tem seems to work all to the benefit of large centres and it is an alarming fact, when we consider one-quarter of the population is in the city, If they would only migrate into..the smaller towns they would enjoy better en- vironment and we think it would be better for the 'administration of justice." With regard to Alberta coal, Mr. Wigle said that so long as the na- tional railways could make excursion rates for harvesters going West, the same principle could be applied to fuel, and that public opinion when aroused could bring it about. He was inclined to doubt the ad- visability of the province taking over full cost of provincial highways, for the benefit chiefly of counties which had ,embarked upon extravagant programmes, COLLEGIATE -NOTES. 0 , n d h e e g e a The attendance at the Collegiate is becoming more nearly normal' but as yet there are about twenty 011 the ab- sent list.
