It is hard fur.the ordinary man to
understand wliy it is right for ftir.
Drury to let municipalities build their
,even radial roads and wrong for him
to let thein build tlteir own highways.
The provincial government of Mr.
Drury is building the highways in op-
position to the publicly owned rail-
ways, but the same government is

If one is wrong, so is the other.
•'here appeared to be very little en-
thusiasm at the U.F.O. meeting over
the formation of the riding associa-
tion. As soon as the matter was
=Brought up the crowd began to leave.
This evidently disappointed the.
i•hairnutn, who sharply remarked that
flaying noted to orgauize, it was their
duty- to remain and see it lhrotgh.

t)ne would have expected the Hon.
Peter Smith in his speech on Friday
,;;oat;`as Minister of Finance, to have
gone deeply into the financial side of
his work and explained why the
Drury government had piled up a
debt of nearly one quarter of a billion
dollars. This debt was only 90 mil-
lion when they took office, And this
great debt was run up in spite of the
fact that their income was more than
double of that of four years ago.
Surely it was not expecting too much
of the Minister of Finance that some
• explantation be given. None was giv-
en. He talked of other departments,)
but not of his own. Apparently, the
only time his own department came
to his mind was when he exclaimed:
'Welt we did something.' And his
audience seemed to agree with him as
they recalled the high cost of high-
ways in their taxes.

The e' -soldier has little to hope
for from the post -office department.
As in the case at Brussels, the de-
artment has a new scheme of depriv-
ing thesoldier of his appointment by
the Commission. Soldiers with every
qualification, far superior to their Lib-
eral machine rivals, are called before
political heelers to stand "oral" exa-
minations in private, and the soldier
is declared not qualified.. See how
easy it is. Thus Mr. Murphy is till-
ing positions with the very Liberals
who opposed assistance to the sold-
iers when overseas, and the loyal sol-
diers are left out in the cold. Mr.
\rurphy's "'Oral" examinations are
death to the soldier's claims,

Some one said of an old man that
he had reached his; dotage. "No," said
td listelier, "he has reached his anec-
dorage." All with hid fine pleasure of
hearing the Hon.Peter Smith, Pro-
vincial Treasured., in the _town hall
;lest, iday afternoon, will agree
ti thle is; he stage 01 imet lecttfal
development whie%'.he has reached.
When one goes to hear a lecture
by a professorof astronomy, he ex-
pects to hear something about the
little star that twinkles up above the
world so high like a diamond in the
sky; he does not expect to hear a
dissertation. on how to grow turnips,
and so when one goes to hear a
Speech by the '.l'rcesurer- of th'e .Prov-
ince, he expects to hear something
about the finances of the Province—
perchance about a surplus, even
though it be one of these surpluses
that appeared' for a time, and . then
vanisheth away.' But the .Hon. gen-
tleman said not a word about fi-
nanees. He talked about road mak-
mg, the Hydro, etc. His reason for
ignoring finances is not far to seek.
What he has to say about money mat-
ters he is reserving for his Budget
Speech, for which we are all waiting
with hated breath..
The purpose of the meeting in the
town hall last Friday afternoonwas
to organize the farmers of Centre
Huron into an association for pro-
vincial politicat affairs.
The fanners of Huron county have
for some time been organized for
Federal purposes, and the question
might be asked why the same organiz-
ation would not do for both pur-
poses? to which question the answer
is that for Federal and Provincial
purposes the county is divided differ-
ently,
During the year, farmers prospered
exceedingly. They could sell all that
they could produce at abnormally
high prices; but this has been follow-
ed by a slump. • The prices they now
obtain do not cover the cost of pro-
duction. They are losing money, and
in their distress•they tura to organiz-
ation in the hope that it will give
tltetn such influence in both Domin-
ion and Provincial politics as will
bring them legislative help. We are
sorry to say that we cannot but fear
that their hope will prove illusory.
The most perfect organization of all
the farmers of Canada will not be
able to bring economic order out of
the "economic chaos into which the
great war plunged the whole civilized
Everybody who is not a farther
sympathizes with the farmer, We all
recognise that agriculture is the
basic industry of our country, and
therefore it follows as naturally as
day follows night that the men and
the women who are carrying on this
industry have the hest wishes of all
tate other classes of the community.
We wish the farmers' organization
all the success it can possibly achieve.

LIBERAL LEADER CEASES
TO BE A LEADER
Toronto, Jan. 29.—The Fifteenth
Legislature has embarked upon its
final session, and the debate on the
address in reply to the.speedh from
the throne is well under way. J. W.
Freeborn (U.F,O., East Middlesex),
putup by the Government to move
the address, responded with a ,string
of compliments to three or four mem-
bers of the Cabinet for one thing or
another the remainder he was prob-
ably unable to connect up with any
particulardeed of merit. Peter Heen-
an (Labor, Kenora) seconded the ad-
dress by giving a long history of af-
fairs in New Ontario. It was diffi-
cult at first to understand why the
Government chose him for this pur-
pose, until he came round to the
Backus pulpwood concessions and de-
fended the administration, assisted by
a few hints from id:r. Raney. The
Liberal' leader. Wellington Hay, on
Thursday delivered a two-hour ad-
dress, and Hon, Howard Ferguson
proceeds on Tuesday, to be followed
by Premier' Drury and, probably, H.
P. Hill (Con,, West Ottawa).
Mr. Hay Pussyfoots.
Quite the feature of the Liberal
leader's long address in the Legisla-
ture on Thursday was its entire lack
of any evidence of hostility, or even
serious criticism for 'the Govern-
ment. Mr. Hay cantered the Liberal
horse up and down the somewhat
short line of seats occupied by 'Itis
Party. and shook a fist from time to
time in the directon of the Conserva-
tive group, but there were 00 serious
thrusts for anybody, least of all fo-
"nn, metnbers across the floor, most
of whom used to ride the Grit charg-
er themselves not so long ago.
For sone reason Mr, Hay dwelt
at length on the history of his party
with regard to the liquor question.
He modestly claimed for it the honor
of being pioneer in "desire" todeal
with the !natter. It doesn't matter
very much whether that be correct. or
not. As to the O.T,A., he feared that.
in the case of a law which could not
reasonably be enforced, and where a
premium was placed on the breach
thereof, the effort to enforce it might
nS 1
_i It in greater evil than that which
it sought to cure. It was doubtful
t 1> a penr.!e oronerly snoported the
O.T.A. There should be a popular
Pronouncement, Then .he went on tb
aay•thaf the people had already spok-
en, in the referendum of 1919. So
"nuns who studies Mr. llay's speech
,e rhe O T.A.' can take not of it a1
:cost anything, or - nothing at all
h '1, u•r,a probably the intention of
he speaker.
TH_ E SEAFORTH NEWS
Such spggestions as Mr, Hay had
to offer in• connection with proving
Sal administration were 'couchedin
somewrtiat offhand rtern's, and when
anyone showed a disposition to chal-
lenge them Ile promptly and cheerful-
ly modified them, determined to he
agreeable, apparently. He thought it
"Might be possible" to charge United
States Motor tourists some sort 0f
road tax, Morrison McBride (Labor,
South Brant) rose to interpolate that
there are too many vexatious, petty
taxes under tliis Government already.
Mr. Hay calmly admitted the fact,
and that many of them ought to be
rennoved and absorbed into "larger
taxation, more easily obtained," what-
ever that means. •
Mr. Hay has some hazy notions
that Hydro -radials might be placed
under a Commission separate from
the present .Hydro -Electric Commis-
sion, but as be is not likely to have
any more to do with the matter than
any other private member Isis opinion
is not of -transcendent importance.
The affectionate tone of Mr. Hay's
address, with regard to tate Drury
Government, outdoing in fulsome
compliment even that of Mr. Free-
born, was commented upon by Eton,
Howard Ferguson, in adjourning the
debate, Thursday,
"1 want to congratulate the leader
of the Liberal party." be said, "fora
very lengthy and able address, but
particularly to congratulate the prime
minister for having pnt forward such
an expert apologist for the Govern-
meat, It ;oust have been apparent
to everybody in the House, and es-
pecially to those who would readhis
Speech in the country, that the rumor
of close alliance was amply proven
today by the nature of 'the speech de-
li^tired and the apologetic attitude so
evident thoughout."
Should Nominate Candidates.
The sessions of the parliament of
Canada and the legislature of On-
tario, now in progress, have directed
attention more closely to political
natters. The government at Ottawa
took office without a majority and
holds on by the most slender thread
a thread that may snap during the
present session, But whatever the
fate of the Ottawa government there
will be an Ontario election this year.
The Drury government's term ends
with the present session. There are
those who believe the elections will
be held in June, but the most general-
ly accepted date is October. In any
case` the supporters of the Liberal -
Conservative party should not delay
inplacingtheir candidates in the field
at the earliest possible date. This
course will ensure 'the selection of
hest men, give then time to organize
their constituencies and prevent a
snap verdict, such as that secured in
the last election.
In 1919 the Conservatives polled
386796 votes and elected 25 .members;
the Liberals polled 336,715 and elect-
ed 29 candidates; the U.F.O. polled
256.974 votes and elected 45 members.
The Conservatives were endorsed by
50,081 more electors than the Liberals
and 129,000 more voters than the
ILF.O., and the latter le in power,
Among some other reasons the
failure of the Conservative party to
place their men in the field in proper
time had much to do with the defeat.
Men refused to enter the contest four
or five weeks before the date of poll-
ing. If_ tate Hon, Mr, Ferguson, and
those associated with him in man-
agement of the party act wisely, they
will have a candidate in every rural
constituency before the erose of the
session.
It would be difficult to find a man,.
on any side of politics, who believes
that Mr. Drury will have a majority
in the next house, But nobody look-
ed for the result of the last contest.
The province is tired of the present
rulers, but failure on the part of the
Conservative party, that now has vic-
tory in sight, to adopt the sensible
policy of naming all their candidates
before it is too late, may result in a
new legislature with none of the
parties having a majority, and a con-
tinuance of the incapacity, comprom-
ise, uncertainty and extravangance,
which have been so prominent and
so expensive during the past three
years. •

COUNTY COUNCIL.
The County Council held its first'
session on Tuesday afternoon of last
week. It is the Liberal year to elect
the Warden. Aspirants for the high
office were: Beavers, of Exeter;
Armstrong, of Hulled; Douglas of
Wroxeter; and Tipling, of '\Wing-
ltartl, The position was captured by
Bearers, of Exeter, who was nomin-
ated by Douglas and Armstrong.
Ex -Warden Tretrartha conducted
the new official to the chair and the
oath of office administered. The new
Warden said he had a very hard
place to fill following Mr. 'frewartha,
who had discharged the duties of the.
office i0 an ideal manner. He would
try to take up that work as it had
been started and if he could do as
well, would be satisfied. Economy
and time spent for the county were
the late Warden's ideal. He hoped
tofollow in those footsteps and thus
help to maintain the enviable repute-
tion at present of the county. He
w•npld try to be fair to all the mem-
hers and yet conduct the business in
a straight -forward manner. There
would be plenty of time for consider-
ation of questions; the right to seelc
information belonged to each mem-
ber and he hoped more time would be
given to discussing reports of cont-
ntitteee, Often they aro hurried over
because they come at the end of the
session and matters go through with-
out members understanding them as
they should, which was wrong.
The Warden asked for the hearty
co-operation of members and offered
his own help, so that the year might
be the best in the history of the coun-
ty; and every dollar made to go as
far as possible.
When the subject of appointing the
Good Roads Commiission carte up, it
started touch disetission, which was
finally left for further debate
