Side -Stepping the Ladies
Hon, Mr. •Hearst, Ontarieee new Pre-
mier has, evidently, made a fatal mis-
take in cleateng with an important Wo-
men's organization in Torontn. He had
made an (appointment to Meet a 'depu-
tation from the Women's Suffrage 45--
se/elation at the pariiament buildings
Wednesday afternoon. ,The ladies ,were
prornptiy on 'time. After Waiting pati-
ently or twenty minutes two old, har-
dened stagers in the persons ,of Hon.
,Mieranne •ad .Hon. Dr. Pyne appear-
ed ttk (receive the ladies and explained
to Mem that Premier Hearst had been
suddenly summoned from the city and
would not be nresent, but the. le,dies
could make their representations to the
ministers named, This didnot suit the
ladiesand the complaints :were !num-
erous'and sharp. It .was the Premier
'they wanted lito4ret At. They .had had
previo-us experiences with the seasoned
ministers named and their recollections
were not 'of the most agreeable. This
deputation was composed of several of
the most influential ladies of the city
(it Torcmto. Many of them are political-
ly ineaccord with the Government and
al1 of them are, or have been, active
poiiticai workers. They consider that
they have been discourteou,siy treated
by the PreMier ea•nd they did not hes-
itate to (e.ay Ste at he coutd not keep
Ms anointment he should have notified
them ° to (that effect ,,and !not side-stes..
ped themin the way he did. Mr.
Hearst's action wo-uid seem to indicate
that he .Lacking in the , and,
suavIty of some of, his predecessors..
The Toronto Worid,'which always has
friendiy side tto the Ontario Govern-
ment mildly' chides Mr. Ilearst for .his
very ungallant treatment of the ladies,
It !says.: "Premier Hearst did not treat
the ladies fairly who .formed the de)e-
gation with which he made an appoint-
ment for Wednesday afternoon. He
.wodid not (have ea treated a deputa-
tion 'Tot - male voters who represented
anything like .the property interests'
:which the women of the suffrage depu-
tation did. He -would at least have
.notified them (and asked for another
o'lVortunity for 'hearing their vieWs.
Perhaps as some of the women were
inclined to think, he was not intereel-
ed In hearing their views. If he s not,,
he is beginning badly in his office. The
women of the erovince are a much more
•imeortant factor in poetics than the
otd-line politician is inclined to think.
It would tbe a reelty if gr. Hearst' had
to spend several years in office to dis-
cover this fact too elate. 'He ;would do
,weil to 'get- in :touch with public sen-
timent in this moeement, and as far
a,s passibie ilve down the prejudice
..1*Ilch the government has quite un-
neeessarily treated agaiiist itself amcm.g
ectiVe women politicians. The request
of the Women for the tpresent is a linnet
reasonable one, 'being simply that the
fact of their marriage, , should not be
used against :'them to take away their
franchise. Single women in the munie
cipatitiee leave a vote on their property
colalifications. Widows enjoy the same
privilege. But V, a ,Woman 'marries.. she
is immediately classed with minors, idi-
ots and criminals. Premier' Hearst could
reform this. If he thinks it wise to
continue to 'class m,arried women with
minors, idiots and criminals, he may
find that his other !acts may be judged
in the eight of .this unreasonableness."
,'Ask your druggist for a 50 -cent bot- '
tie of "California Syrup of Figs," which
contains directions for babies, children
a all agea and for grown-ups.

War and Peace
By Walt ,Mason in' "Life.5)
The bugles sound, the prancing char-
gers neigh, and dauntless men have
journeyed forth to nlay.. eglid farmer
lads will wade around. in gore and
shoot up gents they 'never saw, before.
Pale drYgoods clerks, amid war's wild
alarms, pursue the toe and hew off
legs and arms. The long-haired bads
forget their metered pins and walk
through carnage clear up to their chins,
`cMy country calls I" the loyal grocee
cries, than stops a bullet with his form
land dies. "T1s &pry beckons cry
the ardent clerks, A burstIng shell then
hits them in the 'works. 4And dark-.
:winged vultores float along the air.
and dead are piled like cordwood every: -
Where. regiment goes forth witli
banners gay; .a mine explodes, arid It
is -blown sway; There is a shower of
patriotic blood, some bones are swim-
ming in the crimson mud. Strong, brave,
young men, who might be shucking
corn, thus useleSsly are maingled, rent
and taro. They call .it glory when a
fellow falls, his midriff split whiz-.
zing cannon -balls, but there's more
glory in a ;field of hay, where brave
men work 'for fifteen bits a day.
The bugles blow, the isoldiers ride, a-
way, to gather glory in the mighty
fray, their heads thrown back, their
martial shoulders squared -what sight
with -this can ever :be compared? And
• they have dreams of honor:5 to be ftvon,
of evreaths of la.ureI 'when the war is
done. The iwomenf.watce tke ,soldiers
ride away, 'and to theli homes repair
te -weep and pray.
No !bugles 'sound when .back the sol-
diers come ; there is rib -marching to
the beat of !drums. There are no* char=
gere, speckled :with their foam, but one.
by, one the eqldieee etraggie home i

holt with the weight 101 years, ',and • alt
the sorrow of ail wdrids and spheres
is in Itheir eyes, tor' they have Nve.lked
with doom, have seen their. country
changed into a tomb. ,And one comes
back -where (twenty went away, and
!.aineteen widows kneel alone and pray.
They can it glory -oh, let glory cease,
and give the .world o.nce more the boom

Live Stock Prospects
At one 'of •the :meetings held in con-
nection with the Winter Fair at Guelph,
last ;week, (the live stock situation was
discussed by several.evell-known stock
eiperts. Messrs. Robert Miller, john
Gardhou,se, W. 'F. Stehpen, R. Hard-
ing and John Fiala A ,most optimistic
tone was heed through ,ail the addres-
ses. :Mr. Miller said that not mach
was being done in the horse business
at !present owing for one thing to the
failing off of 'building ' 'operaelons,
which employed many horses, railroad
work is also stack and this cuts off
the demand. The usual ,number of hor-
ses are not being purchased for the
woods this year, and the demand for
cavalry horses has hardly made a mark
on 'the supply, in -fact more American;
than Canadian' horses appeared for sale -
at :Toronto and for this reason the •
buyers. for the British War Office went
to the States for ,their horses, ,and by
so 'doing saved from :40 to 50 doltare
on at animal. However. better times
may !be looked for in the horse bued-
ness, because, as Mr, Miller said, there
Will after a while be a demand for
good horses to take the place of those,
wet in the .war. and a first-ciase
'win be demanded (by the English '
buyers, who are keen judges and lib-
eral with their money. The demand
for good breeding horses Is inereaSIng
In the province, only' the best b}eing
asked for.
Mr. Gardhouse spoke on beef cattle
and :pointed lout that there was a. short-.
age the world over. He said that there
was a decrease of a million --and a
half at the principal markets of the -
werld during the )ast eight yenrs. and
that many breeding animais woued
have to be slaughtered in Europe to .
provide for the war, yet that regis-
tration of pure bred animals had in-
creased 26 per cent, in Canada •during
the last •eieven months. Mr. G.ardhouse
told the farmers to be careful not to
sacrifice their good live stock which
would be very valuable the 'near
future. A hopeful sign, ,he said, w,a,s
the fact that the Ave stock eommk-
sioner had distributed four hundred
num bred •bulis through the West this
Year. Those animals should 'have a
beneficial effect upon the beef supply.
Mr. W. P. Stephen, of Huintington,
Quebec, was :the next speaker. He cal-
led the dairy- products !the great food
