But he labored so earnestly - in the formation of Union Govern- ment that he could safely be trusted not to do or say anything, that might hurt His Mester's cause. Did Sir Robert Borden- personally select his party? Or did the same benign influences that so ably helped him to form Union Government,' in their ONV11 unestentatious way, help him with the selection? Was it all accidental GT did some- body, say, Sir Clifford Sifton who knows the West even if he is not too popular there, or Sir Joseph Flavelle who knews more politics than he gets credit for, do a little more of the same gentle prodding that kept Sir Robert Borden so steadily on his way to Union Government?

The arm- istice was signed by the German. re- presentatives at midnight, and hostil- ities ceased at 11 o'clock Monday morning, Paris. thne. Not only has the armistice brought what virtually amounts to peace, but it has brought the downfall of the Kaiser and the House of Hohenzollern and all they stand for. The Kaiser and Crown Prince are now fugitives in Holland and a revolution in Ger- many is to -day to all intents and pur- poses, an accomplished fact. The re- volt has not yet spread throughout the whole Empire, but fourteen of the twenty-six states are securely in the hands of the revolutionists, and these include all the four kingdoms and all other important states. No form of Government for Germany has yet been decided upon, but whatever the deci- sion may be it will in no way include • the Kaiser. In the awful conflict which ended Monday, Canada's glorious part Igas cost heavily in loss of life and Up to and including October 11st, the latest figures available, the total cas- ulaties were 211,358, divided as fol- lows: Killed in action, 34,877; died of wounds or disease, 15,457; wounded 15T,779; presumed dead, missing and prisoners of war 8,245; total 211,358. The cost of the war to Canada money ia expected to be at least elev- en hundred million dollars, Up to the end of last month war accounts which had actually passed through the Fin- ance Department totalled approxi- mately $1,046,844,000. This does not include deferred pay for soldiers in France and some large outstanding ace counts. Some months will probably elapse before the actual cost of the war to the Dominion. will be knoWn after the actual. declaration of Considerable expenditure arising from the war will continue after the conclusion of peace. For the present fiscal year expenditure of the pen- sions branch was estimated at ap- proximately fifteen millions; that of the Department of Soldiers' Civil Re-establisliment at twelve millions. With the cessation of hostilities ex- penditure under these boards will be reudced to its minimum, but will con- tinue to be heavy for years to come. than any other part of Canada. . ut, unless all sigins fail, the war will be out of politics before many more not do much the elections went pract- ically by deiault and all organization exterided to th, bereaved 'The Celebration L ---That Hens111 in this, the loss of their only 61J'; er much alive Ile the great ie won by the AIlieS over Germa the nations that sipported her months have passed.

Sir Robert 1 guns fired, shoutsi and cheers frem t These, of course, are questions that even the future may not answer. Bit men like Sifton and Flavelle would hardly bend so mach energy to the formation of Union Government with- out taking some measures to emsure its permanency. However that may be, there is a scurrying westward of ministers and others that shows that the Prairies are to have a Liberal, or perhaps Liberal -Union, education. Hon. Newton Wesley Rowell, whose sweetly -mournful voice was carried back from England practically unim- paired, was first heard in Ontario. But by easy stages he reached Winni- peg. He probably just wanted to as- sure the wild Westerners that a chlid- hood spent in Toronto law offices had not eo contracted his heart that it did not' -beat for all( of Canada. Hon Frank Carvell also did the Western tour. and there is an off chance that carefully stowed away in his grip were some of those free trade speeches that flowed so fluently from his tongue ere the trend of events hurried him out of the mire of New Brunswick politics into the more elevating work of winn- ing the war. Of course, Hon. T. A. Crerar had to go West to look at the crops and a hurried glance through the books of the Grain Growers' Grain Company. It is more than probable that he told his farmer followers how he tonged to be back living the simPle life and was persuaded that the great cause of agriculture and $2.21 wheat demanded that he stay -put for yet a little longer. Hon. Arthur Sifton and Hon, James Calder heard the call of, the prairies in their blood and answer- ed it. Of Course, Hon. Arthur Meighen also turned his face towards the set- ting sun and so did Hon. Tom Grail- ers. But, as' pointed out before Hon. Arthur is safe while good natured old Tone is a relic of other and Torier days. Anyway, he had troubles of. his own with the labor men even as Hon. Arthur had his, trying -to find at ocs casional section of land that a rettitn- ed- soldier could settle on, ' Another who has found the West -a new field for missionary- work is Sir John Willison, Ch,airman of the Re- construction Commission, an offshoot of the Canadian Manufacturers' As- sociation, who gave the West the bene- fit of his erudite mind and the sun- shine of his smile. Naturally you start -to look for reas- -ons for this sudden political partiality to things western. And you haven't got far to look. It seems assured that for some years to come Ontario veill vote against Quebec and vice versa; that if Ontario votes Tory, Que- bec will vote Grit or that if Quebec votes anti -Union, -Ontario will perforce stick to the Union party. The reasons are too obvious to require setting out. Laurier, while he lives, will be the chiefest among them. That neutralizes the two greatest seat producing provinces. Then, when you get to the Maritimes, you realize that they are not going to do much towards breaking the tie . You can draw a line through the centre of New Brunswick and find that every seat north of it is Liberal in Provincial politics and that all save one or two are the same way in Dominion politics. They can be depended on to stay that way with slight variationh. Nova Scotia never suffered a severe relapse from party lines and is not likely to. That was evidenced by the fact that Premier Murray after being enrolled in the Union Cabinet took a hasty glance at the safety first signs and decided to stick with his old job and his old party. He ought to lesow Nova Scotia fer he has been its Premier for a long, long time. So you turn your eyes from the east and the contiguous, look away a- cross the waters of Lake Superior and realize that if the west comes down to Ottawa in close formation it h the rest of Canada practically at i mercy. Hon. Bob Rogers realizes this for he has resurrected his Winnipeg Telegram and his wires are out to res- cue some rerrusants of the old Tory party from what he always considered the Union muddle. He realizes that to be -li power in the West is to be a power in Canada. And it is no secret that- Hon. Bob yearns to be a power in his native lend -whether for good or evil, who shall say? . There is still another reason too why the West must be looked after politi- cally. The crops out there haven't been any too good. Next to Sir Wilfrid 1 Laurier, prosperity has been the best friend Union Government has known. When a man is making money and liv- ing in comfort or comparative luxury hehan look on arsy kind of government with cnsiderable equanimity. But once let him feel the pinch' of hard times and it takes a particularly nine brand to please him. Why, down in New Brunswick, where they imbibe politics with their mothers' milk, they're so busy with the potato crop this year that they haven't any time to give to their favorite topic of conversation. In varius sections of the West the harvest has been easily harvested. That leaves much time for talk about wa one n an gr a 'Shoes:. 9 Seafortin Nov- 14, 19 retatoea, per bag per bushel wheat, per buatio per bushel • per bushel WILL DEMOBOLIZE AT ONCE Although no official statement is yet forthcoming from the Department of Militia and Defence, it is understood that demobilization of the Canadian forces at present in Canada will be proceeded with practically immediate- ly. At present, according to a state- ment by an official of the department, there are some 35,000 soldiers of the Canadian Expeditionary Force in Can- ada. The maintenance of such a large number of men necessarily involves a huge expense, which will not be borne by the Government if the men are not required for service in France. There are at present large numbers of young men called up for service by the pro- visions of the Military Service Act, who, being engaged in agricultural pursuits, have been granted leaves. These men will, in all probability, not have to serve at all. It was stated at the department that the situation of the men who have enlisted in the Si- berian Expeditionary Forec was more or less definite. It seems likely that there will be -no change as far as the men are concerned, and that arrange- ments made with regard to them -will be carried out, It is always well to remember too Borden never liked said Act. t was sure g that the West is ncit afraid to ask i forced down his throat by certain of for what it wants. Those men whoq his followers with more political love- r out amid the dry cold that you sight than the Premier ever owned . can't feel are there for a purpose.. They did not go, there for their health. They. went there to accumulate a com- petence and to do it with celerity . They are business men, quick to take advantage of a business opportunity. Before the Union Govermnent reared its: head above the political horizon they had. almost made up their minds that they all wanted the same thing and that they *wanted it all at once. That something sounded so much like the total allolition of tariffs of all kinds that you couldn't well tell the difference between- it and the freest kind of free trade. They were in fact beginning te voice a Liberalism that was radical Almost to Bolshevism. Knowles of Moose Jaw was one of the fiereest advocates of this new . brand of Westeen Liberalism. His utterances caused some of- his fellow Liberals to quail even as they brought derisive smiles from across the floor. There THE POWER OF THE WEST Watchman what of the West? That is the cry that goes up to the lookouts on the.pelitical towers. Nor are signs wanting that the political generals turn instinctively to that part of the Dominion that lies beyond the Great Lakes when they take down their maps and concentrate their great minds on political strategy. To be sure there are only fiftylseven mem- bers from that favored ' portion af Canada while the remainder of the two hundred and thirty-four are scat- tered, or rather clustered elsewhere. Dat even in countries where majori- -Fee rule, or are supposed to rule, the tetil eometimes wags the dog. That is exactly what is expected to hepeen in Canada once the war cloud eleared from the political horizon. That !,t the reason that political lead- er,. trv practically leaving the dog alone, while they are trying to get ae. 'kends on the tail. :tre they doing this? Just note a w of the straws that indicate the (4irecton and velocity of the wind. But he swallowed it with a shudder and probably would not be hard to per- suade to take it on the statute books. Also he might be brought to see that, if the West is to be placated, this is the best way to do it. It is reported even now the Franchise Act is to be overhauled at the next session of Par- liament. If part of that overhauling is the elimination of the clauses af- fecting aliens stick a pin in your po- litical history at that point. It will be the beginning of the end. ' But so various and divers and. com- plex are the questions in connection with this Western problem that it is little wonder the politicians are giv- ing it their closest attention. It must be remembered in connection with. theen all that the present parliaanent was selected rather that elected.

Mr, Knowles ev- idently was not too radical for at least two of those firm friends of Un- ion Government who were specially se- lected by Premier Borden to accom- pany him on his Empire -making ex- pedition to England! It is an old prediction that the tariff is the rock on which Union Govern- ment will wreck. Up to the present time this rock has been submerged by waves of $2 wheat. Even the storm, that the raised railroad rates promised to engender, died away before the fixed price of No. 1 Northern. But the waves of wheat have grown shocking- ly less; even the finish of the fixed price may soon be in sight. What then? Perhaps that is the question that silent James Calder is trying to find an asnwer for. James is a politician. Politicians do not leede They figure, out what the people are going to ask for next and beat them to it. Is silent James keeping his moustache - concealed mouth so tightly, closed in order that he may with impunity lead the clamor that is sure to come? Is there anything to the report that fil- ters through occasionally that Hon, W M. Martin is to he the successor to Sir Wilfrid Laurier when the latter finally decides to retire? Does Hon. James Calder dream of a West that loves not Ontario united to a Quebec that hates Ontario with himself pulling the s brings that guide a nation ? For Hon. William. Martin would make a mighty. fine figure head fbr a Federal Government, even as he does for a Provincial Government. He is tall and broad and fair to look upon. He car- ries all the earmarks of a good Pres- byterian respectability. He may nbt be overburdened with brains but then Silent James might furnish the brains. A man that can keep silent in enough languages to control the foreign vete in Saskatchewan may have almost any quantity of anything in his make up. Such may or may not be the dream of Silent James but others have dreamt it for him more than once. A grave injustice may have been done him but those who knew him best believe& from the start that he never would have come into the Union except to look for such a chance. They may *have done the Western politiCian a great wrong. But, if they wereright, sure it is ehat .his opportunity is at hand -always supposing that he should prove equal to it. Many a man has made a reputation for shrewdness and sagacity by simply keeping his mouth shut. "But where would Hon. Arthur Sif- ton come in on a deal of this kind," you naturally ask. And the promulga- tors of the Calder theory are ready with their answer. They assure you that the Sifton ambitions lie along judical rather than political lines and whisper in your ear that Sir Charles Fitzpatriek may soon relinquish the ermine for vice -regal robes -that he will become Lieut. -Governor of Quebec and leave 'a. vacancy at the head of the Supreme Court of Canada. What bet- er place could be found for a man whose forte Is giving sound judgments and giving them quick? However, all this is more or less speculation. The fact remains that the Union Cabinet is making, sounds that might lead one to believe it ex- pects to replace the old Conservative party and try to line up that part of the country opposed to Laurierism. If it does, it has every reason for getting. busy in the west. All four provinces are Liberal in Provincial affairs, In Manitoba and British Columbia some trace's of the old -Tory party may be found. But in Alberta and Siskatchekan the situa- tion is perhaps best described.by the dialogue between two lonesome old- time Tories who happened to strike\ the post office on the same day. ° "We hear of Unionists and we kear of Liberals," said one, "but what ere "We're souvenirs," sadly replied the Of course the virtual extinction of . the Conservative party in these two provinces is largely chargeable to the foreign vote. "When you realize that 47 per cent. of the population of Sask- atchewan is of foreign origin and that 130,000 of her 040,000 people carry the blood of Germany and Austria in their veins you get some idea of what ;en important part the foreign vote cah play in a country's politics. Of course the Wartimes Franchise Act spoiled the Federal voting qualities of large numbers of those aliens but they are still in, good standing on the provin- in Alberta and other lieutenants culled them in ether provinces. Thus it is only fair to- presume that a certain number of emembers from West of the lakes (Aire their seats not to the people but to Honeable James Calder and to Hon. Arthur Sifton. If the Big Two from the West determine to cast in their lot permanently with the Borden Unionists they can to a large extent control these members. They /nay be able to control enough of them so that no other defection from the Union ranks could bring real disaster. They may be able to pacify their con- situents with the argument that it is just as important that war debts be paid as it was that we should win the war. To pay war debts you must have revenue and one of the best ways to produce revenue is imposition of tar- iffs. Parliament has yet four years to live if the Government can continue to command a, majority. Sir Robert Borden is the kind of Premier who sits and waits for some- thing to turn up. A year and a half ago you wouldn't have bet counterfeit money he would now be Premier. Yet there he is and with a bigger majority than ever. He ,is credited with a desire to spend his declining years in Eng, land. Honorable Wesley Rodrell is said to heve nis feet all nicely socked ready to slip into the Borden shoes. Honor- able Arthur Meighen is convinced that, if the Big Job ever goes out looking for a man tett fill it, it will lay a de- taining haled han his shoulders. But they've misjudged their man. The best thing Sir Robert does is nothing. He'll just linger on. He likes his job. Any way you can, with the best of the politicians turn your eyes to the West satisfied that when yoia turn again to find Sir Robert, he'll be reading or- ders -in -council right Where you left hime-3.
