OTTAWA IS IS READY FOR THE
WORST
The shock of the Ontario elections
left the -Union Government (lazed but
undismayed. As the sputtering wires
spelled out the story the surprise was
succeeded by a sort of stupor. The
House adjourned early, partially' be-
cause tbe members couldn't keep their
minds on the argument, but more for
the reason that the few lonely mini-
sters on the front benclies wanted to
ask their colleagues wl o were keep-
ing tab on the return what it all
meant. Hon. J. D. R,ei, I and Hon, C.
J'`: Doherty tarried far few moments
in the corridors. But a few volleys
-1 from the telegraph booths drove them
intoia retirement where their feelings
• did not have to be maskel by- smiles.
And surely a few of those volleys
i were as surprising as the first cloud
of German gas at St. Julien. They
came something like this: "Tory To-
ronto elects five Liberals," "Sir Wil-
liam Hearst beaten by a Laborite by
1,200 majority," "Five Tory ministers
among the slain"; and the volleys
were succeded by a steady fire of
"Farmer candidate defeats Tom Mc-
Garry," "Farmer wins in Centre
Grey," etc., etc. In fact it seemed
• to rain farmers.
Do you wonder that the ministers
hived by themselves in an upper room
while the corn:man every -day -members
took refuge in Room Sixteen and
gazed at each other in a sort of
mute consternation? Only the French
Canadians were jubilant They fail-
ed to realize the true meaning of it
all. They know that Ontario was
slipping from the nerveless grasp of
a Tory leader and that was enough
for them. They shouted for pure joy
when it was announced that H. Hart-
ley Dewart, who made the last stand
with Sir Wilfrid Laurier, was elected
by 7,000 majority. They could see
their ancient enemies being tumbled
from power and they failed to realize
that there were a few things ip con-
nection with the tumbling that did
not bode well for their own political
future. So they rejoiced ,and
*nlerrY. For a m• nt they
o
And then they began to figure the they are and were prepared to try
situation at home. Here's how one something, or anything, else. They
well -posted young Quebec member put
that situation: "Gouin is going out,
that's sure. Hon. L. A. A. Tascher-
eau, who is, billed to succeed him, is
far from popular. Hon. J. E. Caron,
probably the best Minister of Agri-
culture in all Canada, is able and
ambitious. Also he is all for Caron
and for Caron all the time. If he
sheuld decide to start a farmer move-
ment in Quebec no one can tell what
might happen. Nor can anyone tell
where we would get off at."
So, with Quebec faces showing con-
cern and Maritime members worried
by ;reports that the farmer candidate
in Oarleton-Victoria, N. B., was loom -
in' up like a winner, deep 'gloom per -
proved that they had .outgrown the
idea that only lawyers can rule. Pos-
sibly they -had looked at the country

rule and concluded that Governments =
made up of more common material =
Could not have done much worse. And =
surely Canada. could not have her E
finances in a more deplorable condi- =
tion or have a more complicated and
expensiv'e railway problem on her
hands if she had been ruled by gradu-
ates of the work hours rather than
by , the finished products of the law
colleges.
Anyway the first move in a con
stitutional revolution has been made.
Staid old Ontario, the most conserve-
vaded the Opposition benches, replac- rive of all the provinces, has made
ing permanently the momentary joy it and, though surprise is depicted on
almost every face, to those who have
been watching e trend of public
opinion only the expected has hap-
pened.
Take Hon.' T. A. Crerar, for ex-
ample. The night before Ontario
ele.ction, I asked him how main"
farmers would make the grade and
he answered quite casually, f'About
forty, I think." Consequently the
news was no surprise to him. Neither
did it excite him. When) the returns
were coming in he was making a
speech in the House, placing himself
squarely on record as in favor of
public ownership. He -smiled quietly
as, after finishing his speech, he
paused for k moment to bear the re-
turns on his Way to catch a train.
that - had followed the first reports'
from Ontario.
'But, if the Grits were gloomy, the
Unionists were vexed and angry.
Every returned: warrior from the On-
tario front, be he Liberal -Unionist,
Conservative -Unionist o r straight
Tory, brought the same story.
"It's this outfit in here they're af-
ter," said one of Hon: Wes y Rowell's
few folloseers as he nod towards
the holy of holies from which orders -
in -council once flowed' in such pro-
fusion. _
"Nothing but daylight -seeing and
the Board of Commerce counted in my

You may gather from this that the
farmers are not going off at half-
cock. Also rid your mind of the idea
that the farmer with the wisp of hay
in his whiskers or his pants tucked
into red -topped boots is dm -ling to
town The days of "Sockless Jerry
Simpson" are past. The farmer of
to -day is as well educated and well
dressed as any other clam He drives
an automobile instead of hitching
"Old Dobbin to theShay." In the
House of Commons he looks as well
and talks quite as senate as his fel-
low ariensber. Of emitelsr he is not
so glib as trainedtalkeri, like the
lawyers. But some of him have a
habit of getting at the root of things
instead of painting them over with
words. Take a recent example. The
House was having a nice debate on
the Grain Act. It promised to last
all afternoon and the Press Gallery
adjourned to look for something more
interesting -that is, all except Toni
King. Tom stayed and listened. In
about half an hour Tom rejoined the
crowd.
discussed the matter, arrived- at the
same conclusion: "If we went to the
country to -morrow not a corporal's
guard would return."
It is hardly surprising, under these
circuinstances, that the unanimous
verdict was to stay where they were
till the last possible moment and
there were anxious enquiries as to
when that moment might occult It
was finally discovered that the writs
of the last election, were returned
January 19th, 1918. ' Consequently
the life of this Parliament will ex-
pire OtejahiSa.ry 1,9th, 1923S *'"And on,
that night," laughed a Western M. P.
who had had more time to realize
the significance of the farmer Move-
ment and who had become reconciled
to his fate, "we can stand up in our
• places and sing 'Where do we go from
here'?"
Others more optimistic 'had hopes
that the farmer tide would ebb as,
fast as it had flowed, and that three
years hence the agricultural movement
would have gone the way of the'
Populists in the U. S. 'or the Patrons
of Industry in, Ontario. The farmers
are a suspicious lot, they argued, and
the best. thing that could have hap-
pened to us is that enough of them
were, elected to make them the dom-
inating faction in the Ontario House.
Now watch them quarrel among them-
selves. By the time the three years'
grace has expired, they'll be split and
torn asunder till you can drive the
awed into a strained silence by the
news that Orange -Tory Toronto had
elected John O'Neill, the Roman Cath-
olic Liberal. But Hon. Wesley Rowell
sifted through the door and towards
the elevator at this time and in a
moment Joe Archambault had turned
their silence into .roars of laughter.
"Did lyou hear the news ? " cried
Joseph, as he burst into their midst.
"The barber has just charged
Rowell twq dollars for a shave. His
face is that long." And, as the
Chambly-Vercheres humorist credited
the uplift leader with a countenance
of which the lineal measurement was
at least two feet, the joy again was
unconfined.
It was not till the next morning that
the true significante of the Ontario
happenings burst on all and sundry.
Then the- Ontario members who had
been taking .part in the. campaign be- .
gan to drop in. Grit and Tory or
Unionist each wore the same expres-
sion and by no stretch of imagination
could it be interpreted to mean in-
ward happiness. With the farmers
sweeping both the Lambtons, Fred
Pardee confessed that he failed to see
anything humorous in the situation.
.Nor did Duncan Ross, back from Mid-
dlesex, where the agriculturists hal
devasted all three ridings, rediate
anything that could be mistaken for
good cheer. Then and only then did
the French-Canadian statesmen begin
to realize that their joy. had been pre-
mature and possibly misplaced.. Fur-
ther they began to have certain- mis-
givings. For, be it known that a
score of these young French-Canadian.
statesmen are lawyers who have
wandered out into the green field's
and plucked for themselves daisies in
the- form - of agricultural constitu-
encies. What if this farmer epidemic
which claimed Ontario as its own, and
which was reported to be raging west
of the Great Lakes, should jump the
Ottawa River and gather the habitant
into its clutches? The very thought
was appalling. Nor did they gather
comfort from the joker who figured it
out: "Last fall it was the `Flu';
this year it is the -farmer. Did the
over/00k Quebec?"
"How's the debate, Tom?" queried
one of the gang.
"Oh, it was a real nice debate,"
Tom drawled, "till that man Crerar
,spoiled it."
"What did Crerar do?"
• "Why, he got up and told them the
facts."
That was the second debate Crerar
spoiled the same week and. in the
party wagon anywhere through their same way. He got up in his own
ranks. Anyway they're not built on quiet way and made a statement of
a solid foundation. The cancellation fact that killed discussion. Admit-
tedly he's no orator. He's as differ -
of exemptions under the military ser-
vice order -in -council brought them in-
to existence. The war is over. - In
three years they'll have forgotten
the M. S. A. and they'll drift back
to their old parties like prodigals who
have tired of the husks -of discon-
tent and remember only-te 'delights
of getting their legs under dad's
dinner -table.
And there may be something in
this line of argument But it is also
well to remember that a great war
always carriers in its trail an unrest
that makes for the betterment of
human conditions. No observer of
government in Canada will refuse to
admit it is a long time since this
colony, or nation, whichever it may
be, has had representative govern-
ment.- It voted the Liberals into
power and got a Laurier dictatorship.
Tiring of that it turned out the Lib-
erals and got a Borden dictatorship
in its place. The net result was al-
ways the same. The lawyers, the
representatives of privilege, were al-
ways in command.", Each party, un-
der command of its chosen leader,
catered to a different group of favor-
ites, but to each the'pee-pul" were
a minor consideration.
More than once I have heard a
member . of the Press‘Gallery remark
as some particularly atrocious meas-
ure slipped through the HOuse, as if
it were greased. "If the people could
sit in this gallery for six weeks and
see the meaning of everything that
goes on they'd burn the building be-
fore going home."
Now this sounds like Bolshevism.
It may even be as bad as that. But
is it not a sort Of constitutional Bol-
shevism that is sweeping Canada?
The Anglo-Saxon does not try to get
his rights by destroying property. The
great majority of him awns a little
property of his own. And when a
man has paid local improvement tax
he's mighty slow about tearing up the
street and throwing it into the bay.
But there is no denying the fact
that constituted authority is more or
less in contempt at the present time.
You'll notice that the Ontario earth-
quake was a protest not only against
the Hearst Government, but against
other Governments of a like kind. The
people voted for farmers, returned
soldiers and labor men. They show-
ed that they were tired of things as
i
ent from those roaring agitators who
headed the Populist movement as day
from night. He's a big, lanky chap
who looks as if he might be hard to
handle in a fight but he.wears a boy-
ish smile that assures you that if
there is a fight, if won't be -of his
making. He is forty-thiee years of
age and doesn't look it. Neither does
he look like the head of a business
that has an annual turnover of a hun-
dred million dollars. But that's what
the United Grain Growers and. sub-
sidiary companies have grown to. And
T. A. Crerar, school teacher, farmer,
etc., has been at their head since the
days when he carried their mail to
the post office to save the expense of
an office boy. Some leader these
farmers have got! You don't wonder
that he could shed his -portfolio in the
Union Cabinet without losing one inch
of his political stature. Being Mini-
ster of Agriculture was only an in-
cident tin a career such as bis.
So cheer up. All may not be lost
even if the Ontario farmers have
come to town. Of course, newspaper
cuts are deceptive, but • unprejudiced
critics who saw the group photo of
the elected farmer legislators had no
hesitation" in stating that they were
quite as presentable a lot as either
the Unionists or their hated rivals
across the floor.
But, as your gaze rests on that
Opposition, you notice that one man
is missing -probably the only man
you wbuld really miss in the whole
talented outfit. That man is Ernest
Lapointe, the big Kamouraska lawyer.
That is, he was from Kamouraska
when, he last sat in the House. When
he comes again his address will be
Quebec East. He has succeeded to
the seat of the late Sir Wilfrid Laur-
ier. Furthermore, he is fast taking
the Laurier place in the habitant
hearts. When Ernest Lapointe came
to Parliament in 1904, he was a big
country lawyer who could scarce
speak a word of English and who
promised to cut as much figure in his
country's history as the average mem-
ber who blossoms for a Parliament
or two and then vanishes from the
political horizon or becomes a decora-
tion of the Red Chamber. Lapointe
was young, -the picture of smiling good
nature, and so generally a pleasant
part of the landscape that he grew .

ed David arose and pleaded that, as
no Frenchman was to be named for
leader, Quebec should hold aloof and
let the delegates_ from the English
Provinces elect whom they pleased.
Young Mr. David played his part
well -so well that for a moment it
looked as if he might stampede the
caucus. It was Ernest Lapointe who
rose to the occasion. Quietly and
gently he pointed out the foolishness
of Quebec further separating herself
from the rest of Canada, and, when
the vote was taken, David stood a-
lone. All the others were with La-
pointe. Also they stayed with him

than his popularity and heplodded a-
long, gaining ground session by ses-

it began to dawn on the House that
a successor to Laurier was in its

The only Nationalist leader in sight

On the other hand, Lapointe went
on and was triumphantly elected. To-
day he fills Laurier's seat; to -morrow
he will have Quebec behind him as
'mildly as it ever was behind the

Unionists even now admit that the

Maritime Provinces fail to come under
the farmer epidemic they will hardly
be strong enough to control the

showed that. They can't cut in with

actionary than the Unionists. But

- That wind, by the way, so close
political observers will tell you, is
blowing Hon. T. A. Crerar and Ernest
Lapointe closer together every day.
That's the combination that may form
the next Federal Government. They're
just about the two biggest men in
Parliament. And they both make the
kind of appeal that fits the circum-
stances. Crerar appeals to the farm-
ers. Lapointe is a heraeto a people
who fall for hero worship even more
easily than they become the victims
of an epidemic such as is sweeping
the rest of rural Canada.
By the way, Sir Henry Drayton,
the new Minister of Finance, paid the
House a brief visit ere he started out
to borrow the money to make his job
worth holding. Rather a likely fel-
low, Sir Henry, if he wouldn't try
to look so blamed amiable. However,
that's a fault peculiar to new politi-
cians, Sir Henry may grow out of
it. -By J. K. Munro.
-The Clinton News Record of last
week says: It would appear -that we
might change it a little and instead
of, or rather, in. addition to, saying
"Pigs is Pigs" we might say "Turkeys
is Turkeys." Mr. D. Churchill brought
in a load of thirty-six turkeys to
Gunn, Langlois and Co. the other day
for which he received a cheque for
3246.96, and Mr. M. McGregor, for
fourteen was paid the sum of $11.60.
If the women on the farms still con-
trol the egg and butter money and the
fowl money, which used to be con-
sidered the proper thing on farms, we
believe, then we venture the opinion
that many farmers' wives command a
snug little bank account at the present
time.
