THE HURON EXPOSITOR
SEAFORTIL Friday, Oct. 3, 1919.
CENTRE HURON LIBERALS
A Convention of the Liberals, pf
South Huron will be held. in •Card -
no's Opera Hall, Seaforth, on Monday,
October 6th, at one o'clock p.m., for
the purpose of selecting a candidate
to contest the riding in the Liberal
interests at the forthcoming Pro-
vincial elections. It is earnestly re-
quested that every polling subdivision
in the riding be represented at this
convention.
WORK WANTED .
The average member of Parliament
has, not been enjoying his week ends'
home lately. The reason is the re-
turned soldier who asks him with some
pith "If you can give yourself twenty-
five hundred dollars elly can't you
give me two 'thousand?"
Of course there is a good.answer—
namely that there are five hundred
thousand returned soldiers and only
three hundred and thirty-one members
of Parliament which Makes consider-
able difference in the bill—but the re-
turned soldier does not wait to listen
ato the argument. He is satisfied to
let the jibe go as it stand.
I understand that Roche Lanclot
M.P., who doesn't care. a hoot about
money, is prepared to make matters
worse and cover Parliament with
shame by introducing a motion to the
effect that the members give up their
sessional indemnity to a selected four
hundred and thirteen returned soldiers
• and settle the problem as far as a
million dollars will go. Of course the
million is a mere d rop in the bucket
of the returned soldiers' wants but
every little helps and, what Roche
Lancot desires to encourage is that
• spirit of sacrifice which Parliament
prates about but never applies to its
own pocket.
A rumor isflyingabout that Parlia-
ment is to have its face `saved from
the coarse remarks of the returned
soldier by _giving it -enough work to
do to earn the money. It would really
look too crude to sit thirty-one days
—Saturdays and Sunday excluded—
and then light out the thirty-second.
day with the loot. From, this 'scandal
some of the older heads would save
Parliament by lengthening this ses-
• sion and shortening the next one, thus
preserving a good average M avoid-
• ing a sweltering season in the sum-
mer. At present Parliament has its
nights free for fear of running out
of material for debate but this paucity
of subjects to talk about can easily
le changed to abundance if the Gov-
ernment so wills.
The peace debate, chopped off after
• four days, was a lost opportunity for
stringing things out which Parliament
.views with regret. The debate was
rushed because the King a -as supposed
to sign .the treaty this week. • Now
that the signing has been postponed to
the endeof October Parliament gazes
back rather wistfully at a, subject so
rich in dilatory 4eclamation. The de-
bate was notabidt for three things—
an admirable Phillippie by that Master
of Sentences, Ernest Lepointe, of
• Kamowasaka, a quibbling • address to
the jury by Newton Wesley Rowell,
and a sparkling characterization of
the said Newton Wesley by Mr. Field-
ing who hit off Mr. Rowell's tea -meet-
ing fluency with the phrase "a hogs-
head of lather from an ounce of
• soap." Incidentally the Opposition's
*hands -Off -home -rule declaration was
the -beet leept, secret that ever came
out of eie caucus roam. Not a news-
paper man knew a word about it until
it was prung in the House. It was
• a cumplete surpriee. The resolution
demonstrated two things—that the
Oppositien Ls vastly benefitted by Mr.
FieltIitigs finesesa! and that it can keep
eeits osvn counsel.
Parliament looks forward to the
gratuity •question as a fertile topic.
It has already resulted in a parlia-
mentary committee which certainly
cannet ieett threugh its work - in less
then three weeks and give the matter
it. prose r importance. The cominittee
will of course, repeat and the report
'will probably he followed by loud
noises in the House which should last
another two weeks, especially if any
legislation comeut Of it. Of course
Colonel Jack Currie could not be pre-
vented from starting, something. Col.
John says he represents the returned
soldier, but other colonels, captains,
majors and generals in the House and
out of it say he does not. There is
o some confusion at to what the return-
ed soldier really wants.
The statement is made that, outside
the extrendsts of the gratuity League,
very few of the men expect to get the
, two thousand dollar gratuity although
bh.ey would- take it, of course, if it was
handed to thetn. But what they do
expect from the Parliamentary inquiry
is an uncos-ering of the chair warmers
in the Militia Department and else-
where who are holding down jobs
which might be filled -by men who
' have Proved their quality on the field
of battle. Viewed , in this light the
request of the veterans for an invest-
igation looks reasonable enough. In-
cielentally I heard one member of
- Parliament throw doubt on the bona
Me of some of the agitators for the
two thousand dollar hand-out. "It
'looks like German propaganda tome,"
le remarked, "this asking for sums
that would ruin Canada for years to
cOme." I quote his remark merely to
show that the agitation is viewed from
several angles.
The Industrial Conferences is an-
other matter which may provide work
for Parliament if it is necessary to
trail along for two months or even
three. The conference tirtlf*eseitt its
findings and the findings should be
fruitful of debate and perhaps •of
legislation. Personally I do not take
much stock in the speeches written and
spoken with which the conference
bristles., As Hanilet says—words,
words, words. But there is real hope
in the fact that the Conference may
result in another Royal Commission.
In that respect it is miles ahead of
Mr. Rowell's famou# labor conference
with the ladies who siolved the problem
bystoring their jewelry and their
limousines for the period of the war.
This is a real conference and the Ot-
tawa correspondent is fond ofelescrib-
ing it as the four elements of Mac-
kenzie King's book—Capital, Labor,
Management,' and the Community.
Giving the conference the once,over I
ean see Capital. Labor and Manage-
ment all right but I miss the odd
seven or eight unorganized milliohs
who make up the Community. They
are probably too busy paying foe
Capital and Labor's quarrels to' come
to Ottawa to talk about it.
Seeing that a Royal Commission is
sure to result from the Industrial
Conference the suggestion has been
made that there is a real job before
the Trades and Labor people in or-
ganising the One Really Big Union to
he made up of all the Royal Commis-
sions, past and- present; who have been
appointed* by the Borden Government
since 1911. There must be several
thousand of them, by this time, and
they are all thoroughly seized- of the
basic Principle of killing time and get-
ting as much moriey as they can for
it. They ought to make a strong
union. -
I understand that the Civil Service
Reclassification bill may also be used
as a time destreyer. The reclassifica-
tion, which was per'petrated' by a
Yankee firm • of efficiency experts,
makes up a s;olurpe as bulky as the
Auditor -General's repot and is said,
by the Civil Service, to be the greatest
work of humor since Don Qiiixote.—

Mr. Fowler was Presented with a

which accempanied the presentations:
Mr. Foster T. Fowler, teacher, Dear
Mr, Fowler: The hour of your leav-
ing., No. 4, McKillop, is very near and
we, feel we must express to you. our
deep regret at the thought of what
your going means to all. For almost
thirteen years you have been our
teacher, and durieg. all those years
you have labored incessantly and wise-
ly, not onlesto fill your place and do
your special Work as teacher, but also
to advance the community spirit and
life, and sad we all are as we think of
the break thaf will be made .by your
removal. Contented and enthusiastic
you always were in your 'work and
your pueils caught something of your
ovin enthusiasm and were lel to shake
off laziness and drowsiness and- the
disposition to shirk, and to zealously
pursue their school work. While
givinF diligent heed to the intellectuel
developement of your pupils you were
not unmindful of their conduct and
life. and like a faithful switchman
holding the key to the many branches
from the main road, you resolutely
sought to keep your young pupils on
the track of truth, honor and right.
Your patience, tact, good will and
genuine comradeship towar the chil-
dren have been most merit d, and we
have no doubt that some j wels, that
the teacher who keeps aloof from his
scholars, would never have noticed,
have been found by your eympathetie
touch. In looking back you will note
many changes, the school building;
the surroundings, the people, the
scholars have all chaliged, but we are
sure -that through all the chrges you
will tee many well eciuipped for their
life's work loyal to truth and right,
and we trust that your reflections may
be sweet, thankful and refreshieg with-
out a touch of pain. And now since
the dawn of another day that calls you
to a larger sphere of service has brok-
en in -upon the circumstances of your
life, compelling you to break the of-
ficial tie that binds you to No. 4, Mc-
Killop, we have ,net this evening to
wish you well. As a slight mark of
of our gratitude and esteem, we ask
you to accept this clock from the
pupils of thitglepol and this eleb bag
from yoUr mita friends in the section.
We hope to see you often and we trust
that long years of useful, happy and
successful service shall be yours,
Through all, May you remember with
kindly feelings your friepds in Mc-
Killop. Signed on behalT of pupils,
and frien s.

carried by the audience or delegates,
so that Mr. Ellerington, who is a well
