Mr. Rutherford, There are 26 orfstituencies and 23 of these have returned ,aapporters of the Government, one an Oppo- aitionist and one still in doubt. Mr. Bennett, the leader elf the Opposit- ion was 'defeated in the strongly Conservative constituency of Cal- arary, although there is still a pros - 'stet that under a protest be will gain 'the seat but •even should he do so he will be mighty lonesome. The main issue before the people waa the Autonomy bill passed by. the Dominion Parliament establishing the Province and the tlehools and_ -control of the public lands we -re the leading 'questions discussed. These, however, did not seem to cut much of a figure. and, the result shows the people who are mainly interest- ed are perfeetly satisfiedwith the legislation. The fact is the Laurier Government is very strong and pop- ular in the Territories. So much is this the case that many strong Conservatives who go from Oatario , eonsidernion. 13ut instead of doin this Parliaraent -stands quietly b and, permits the ,.Ameriean beef and other trusts to get 'first service * while Canadian shippers must. wait until their Yankee oompetitori are served. And the people quietly sub sube mit to this treatment and allow Varlianient to _shirk its. duties to their continnoui heavy loss. One word from the Dominion Govern- ment to the railway tompanies would be sufficient. l3ut this word is not apoken and Why? Because pelitical support raight be estranged. •The. politicans know they can trifle with the people with less danger to them- selves than they can force the rail -S Way corporationa to do their duty and the people have to suffer ac- cordingly. The people wrangle and quarrel among' themselves • about sectarianand social issues that are largely sentimental and do not a- mount to a Tow of '.pina, while at the same time this Yankee octupus is forcing its huge tentacles into their very vitais, commercially speaking. Nationalising our 'rail- ways, as some people talk about, is • not the remedy for this. This nos- trum ie put forward simply to still further chloroform -the people. There -is no necessity for it: The Govern- ment and Parliament now have am- ple powers to force the railway com- panies to treat the people justly. If they will not use 'these powers now they would 'be eghally pliable in the hands of the corporations if they Dontr011ed the railways them- selves. Let the people show they are in earnest and assert their poW- er and the politicians will soon move in the right direction, after ¼ brief ree de " there ere b e - came just as strong Liberals. This is easily accounted for. Ever since the Laurier Government came into power emigration has been flowing into the Ountry, the lands are be- ing settle4, railways are being con- structed in every direction, money is being expended in thecountry end the people see and feel. the gen- eral, prosperity. For this the Gov- eriunent are given credit and hence their popularity. So that so long as this prosperity exists 'there is not much to be gained by bucking a- gainst the Government in that count ry. The date for the election in Sas- katchewan has not yet been set. But the result is like,ly to be. very much ths same thdre as in Alberta. However. lion. Mr. Haultain, the. leader of the Conservative party in Saskatchewan is a mueh stronger man than Mr. Bennett, the leacler of the party in Alberta and he. is run- ning the electioa on the no party lines, This may make sorna differ- ence and there may not be quite suat a sweep as in the other pro- vince. Bet aside from these two points pretty much the same con- ditione exist. • THE be little or no danger of bad ;votes being polled. Where there was any doubt, objection could be Yaised and - if a person had taken a false oath there would be punishment for per- jury. This would be a sufficient de- terent for 'fraud, - • • • • The Globe says: "The Toronto 'World declares that the people of North York have now a chance to rebuke the Government for the sal- ary grab. They have also a chance to rebuke the Opposition for the self- ame gra.b, and 'Mr. McCall= is the Too Slow to be Effective. The Railway Commission has in- structed its traffic expert to inves-, tigate t1e cifarges of car shortage Ontario. After this investia- i tion is over. the' Commission, • announced, Will give a fOrmal hear - t� complaints by interested patties13y the, 'time allthis is done, ,says the Farmers' Sun, the season -of navigation will be abbut over, and deliveries of grain at lake Ports will be yiactically ended. The. situation will thus relieve itself, and the work . of the Commission sylli be largely valueless so far as .this .season is concerned. - - There is no need fpr a prolonged enquiry. The Charge is that Cana- dian railways are using their cars, • to move American grain aEross Can• on the way to ocean ports, to the neglect of .Canadian. grain. • One day's ejmuiry would be sufficient to show whether this is true or not; and in the same time an ,order to Canadian railways to give Canadian traffic its just due could be issued. By failing - to act .promptly the Railway Commission has fallen short 'of public expectations, and .has ne- glected one. of the plain duties resting upon it:. This, however, is a conamon fault with ,Government organizations and tribunals. Thero. is' too much circumlocution and red tapeism mid too little .direct action. It was hope& when the Railway • Commission was organized that it would be a cheap, prompt and con- venient medium of arbitration be- tween the railway corporations and' its agrieved patrons. But, instead. of thia,- it seems to be developing into a ponderoUs, foeta.1 machine that a greater regard- for the observanceof legal formalities than for the expeditious dispensing of justice. • AMIONNIt • The Beef Trust in Canada. • Mr. H. J. Pettypiece, ex -M. P. P., for East Lambton, who has given a, great deal of attentieri to trans- portation matters, and. whO is well qualified to speak authoritatively, in a recent address before the Pole itical Seience Club, 'of Toronto Uni- versity, gave utterance to some startling fatts which should arouse the people of Canada to action.. Re- ferring to the powers which the great American Beat Trust have ov- er the railways of -.Canada, Mr. Pet- typiece inatanced the fact that the produce of the Ontario farmer 'has, to lie, for days on railway sidings e - waiting the passing of the trust cars that lipid absolute right of way and that even express trains have to be side-tracked for them. He said: "It is a pitiable' thing that these railroads, who owe their very exis- tence to the generosity of the Can- adian people, who subsidized them to an amount equal to the country's national debt, should turn upon their benefactors, and with absolute dis- regard of their welfare, award all the facilities of efficient transpor- tation to an arrogant, domineering trust." What Mr. Pettypiece says la too true, but it is very difficult to }get the people to realize their danger and to arouse them to. a sense of the real situation. Hundreds .of thousands of deliars are being lost to the people of .Canada in this 'way every year and are being placed in the coffers of • the great combines and trust% of the United States. Mr, Pringle, in his letter in last week's Expostiors' enlarges on this fact. Now, it may be asked who is to blame i It is the people themselves. The people control Parliament and Parliainent can end should control he raiiwayse Parliament has the power to force the railway compan- lee to give Canadian products first , • Editorial NOtes and Oomments Mr. T. W. H. Leavitt, of Toronto, late 4 organizer for the Conserva- tive prty has 'been appointed in- spector of public libraries in &zee: of Dr. May. No person will object to Mr. Leavitt's appointment if he is qualified .for the position. From • a political standpoint he has earned it. But what has beeorne 6f Mr: • Leavitt's senior colleague, Mr. A. • VT. -Wright? When is his turn corn-. • ing and what is heyto get? He was in the servioe when Mr. Leavitt was a boy and he bas been at it ever since and has never received much but thanks for what he lias done. • • * • Mr. 'Creelman, President of the Ontario 'Agrieultural College,has re -Gently been elected Preside ht of the American .Association of Farm- ers' Institute workers. This is not only - _ igh compliment to Mr. Creelinen himself, but is also com- plintentary 'to the Ontario- Institu- tion, of which he is the chief. It is also an honor to Canada that a Can- adian has been appointed 'chief offi- cer of an America-le:Institution, a po- sition which so many in that country would feel it an honor toNill. Tt also shows a generous spirit of lib- erality on the part of our neighbors which does them credit. • 0 « • At the annual meeting of the Dur- ham Conservative Association, held this week in Port Hope, the follow- ing resolution,l-Wlaich is sensible, and to the point, was unanimously adopt- ed; That this 'meeting hereby ex- presses its strongest • condemnation • of the bill put through Parliament last session, providing salaries and increased indemnities to members and pensions, to ex -Ministers. • We consider the bill not only bad in principle, but that it was brought forward at a time when grave con- stitutional issues were at stake,' thereby involving one with the .other. White we hold the Govern - merit responsible for this legisla- tion, we cannot approve of the ac- tion bf the Conservative Opposition in being a consenting partyto the grab. We - therefore piedge, our support to any and eeeTy movemeet looking to the repeal of the bill in its entirety." • • * • In the. new province of Alberta the electoral machinery is very simple. There are no voters' lists or registration, the franchise be- ing exercised by anyone who will take- the oath. Scrutineers may challenge votes, and in such -cases the ballot is sealed. up- and not counted until the voter proves his qualification in court. Courts for this purpose, are held immediately after the. election. If a system a this natare could be made t6 work in Ontario a very great saving of laber and expense would be. the re- sult.
