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.

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.
