The Alberta Elections. -
The eleetions in the new Pro-
vince of Alberta took place •on
Thursday of -last week and result-
ed almost in a clean sweep for the
Liberal Government under the
Preknierahip ofIllon. 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. •

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-

terent for 'fraud, -

North York have now a chance to

ary grab. They have also a chance
to rebuke the Opposition for the self-

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. •

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

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

also shows a generous spirit of lib-

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. And we do not see why. it
would- not vvork. The polling sub -
are small and most if not
all the voters would be known 'to
the scrutineers so that there would

gregations. Mr. Steadman is -an el-
oquent Tan(' earnest speaker 'and his
discourses were listened to with
much interest and profit. The church

at the organ, added not a little to
the pleasure of the eervices. On
Monday evening a fowl supper was
served in the basement of the church
followed by an intellectual feast in
the audience room. The ladies, as us-
ual, did their part to perfection.
The supper served was gaol as to
tempt the most fastidious and there
was such an abundance that despite
the large erowd that partook most
heartily of the good things provid-
ed, there were basketfuls left. ov-
er. After all had thoroughly satis-
fied the inner man, the chair in the
audience room was taken by the
pastor, Rev. Mr. Bauch, who prov-
ed to be just the right man for the
position. Addresses were delivered
by Mr. Neilands, of diensall; Rev.
Mr. Urquhart, of: Xippen, and Rev.
Mr. Brown, of Varna, and all were
listened to with the closest atten-
tion. The musical part of the pro-
gramme was furnished by Mies Ort-
wein and Miss Short, of Henson, and
the Hensall male quartette. The
audience was thoroughly delighted
with this part of the progamme
and a most pleasant evening was
brought to a close by a hearty vote
of thanks to those who had essist-
ed so materially in making the ser-
vices suoh a igpal success. The pro-
ceeds. of the services amounted "to
$100.
