THE PLACE FOR THE PREMIER
t , 1
IS AT HOME
Many of our readers will heartily
agree with The Statesman in what it
says regarding Premier Borden's trip
to South Africa in company with Lord
Jellicoe, 1 -
;
The departure a Premier Borden
for South Africa opens up old politi-
cal sores in Canada. That the Premier
of the Dominion is a gueSt, on board
a British battleship would, under- or-
dinary circumstances, occasion little
comment, but the peculiar ,nature of
Admiral Lord Jellicoes cruise plates.,
the matter in a light wholly different
from that of an ordinary sociel event.
There are two grave objections to
the course pursued by Sir Robert
Borden. In the first place his absence
from the Dominion during i most crit-
ical period of readjustment after the
'war should have been preceded by, the
resignation of the Government. Can-
ada is more important to Canadians
than any sehemes of Empire recon-
struction, and if Sir Robert, for reas-
ons of health, is unable to remain
at Ottawa, the pr per course to have
A taken was to place the resignation
of the Government- in the hands of
the Governor-General. Fro all parts
hl
of the country demands re being
made for an appeal to t electors.
The Government has exceeded ' its
mandate as a Ministry elected to carry
on the war. Apart altogether from
the peculiar methods by which the
Government obtained office and which
vitiate its claims to represent the
- country, there was a distinet under-
taking at the time of the elections
that the coalition was for the period
of the war. •.
The place for the head of the Gov-
ernment is Canada. Too much time
has --been spent by our Premier and
hes colleagues in London and Paris.
In absenting himself from the Do-
minion during the -most trying days
of the war Sir Robert Borden has lent
strength to the contention that Can-
• ada is bound to suffer by being a
subordinate within the Empire. Once
- Canadian affairs are bound up with
ethose of the Empire we -must ex-
pect to find Canada occupying a place
of minor importance in the eyes of
Canadian • Ministers. This is the in-
evitable outcome when the future of
-any nation is viewed from the stand-
point of what is best for the Empire.
Ministers at once fall into the fatal
error of assuming that Canada must
be governed, not in accordance with
Canadian ideas, but in accordance vvith•
Imperial ideas. For this reason we
view with -deep concern Sir Robert
Borden's contempt for Canadian opin-
ion in journeying to South Africa .,in
_ compa-ny with Lord Jellicoe, who is
engaged in the task of committing
the Dominions to support of the Em-
pire in any future war that England
may undertake and -declare.
PREMIER AND MINISTER OBTAIN
SEATS
Hon. E. C. Drury and Hon. Manning
Doherty will be nominated. for seats
in the Legislatere on Monday, Feb. 9,
the Prime Minister in Halton and the
Minister of Agriculture` in East Kent.
A week later Hon. W. E. Raney, At-
torney -General, will be nominated, but
the seat to be opened for him will not
be announced for several days. Writs
are being issued immediately.
An announcement to this effect was.
made Tuesday night by Hon. R. B.
Grant, Minister of Education,- who
stated that J. F. Ford; U. F. 0. mem-
ber for Halton, and J. B. Clark, U.
F. 0. member for East Kent had, re-
signed in order to make way. for
Hon. Mr. Drury and his colleague.
Within a few days, he stated, a third
riding would be opened by the resign-
ation of a member -elect to enable the
Attorney -General to enter the Vgis-
}attire.
"In completing its organization in
•
a democratic way," stated Hon. Mr.
Grant, "the ,Government hal sought
to avoid undue delay as well as uns
- due haste. First of all, the choice
of Mr, Drury as leader was submit-
ted to the Provincial Convention of
the U. F. 0. on December 17th, when
it received formal ratification and ap-
proval. This gathering was followed
immediately by a conference of the
supporters of the Government which
• endorsed the personnel of the Cabinet
and appointed a committee to arrange
seats for the three Ministers who had
• not already_ been elected to the Leg-
islature.
"Some twelve constituencies were
placed at the disposal of this com-
mittee by the members elected. In
each case the committee gave careful
thought to the matter, having in view
various eonsiderations which had to
be weighed, and the committee also
consulted the people who were imme-
klitely cenc'emeci before Coming to a
conclusion. The committee has now
successfully accomplished its work.
yirfth the two announced herewith
and the ene' which will follow, the
Government Will be in a position to
complete the preparation of the work.
of the session, already well advanced,
and to convene the Legislature for
the despatch of business."
The reason the U. F. 0. is -not
bringing on the three by-elections to-
gether- has already been suggested.
it is generally admitted that the real
fight will be over the election of Ho
Mr. Raney; There is no certaint
that either the Prime Minister or M
Doherty will ebe opposed, but the.'
no chancel. If
U. F. 0. is taking
both of them are elected by acclama-
tion, so much the better, but if there
are to be co tests, then the- Govern -
=ea wants t6 get them over with and
be in the strongest possible poldtion
to secure Mr. Rattees election. The
IL F. O. does not make any secret
of the fact that the Attorney -General
hi not vvidely popular in either Farm-
er -Labor circles or outside of .thern
and they realize• ,that even mining
hini in a rural riding far fiaim the
vengeance of the Liberty League is
not an assurance of success since
even the farmer voters will have to
be convinced.
There is a disposition to -concede
an acclamation to Hon. ,Mr. Drury.
Halton, which j. F. Ford has opened
for the Prime Minister, was won in
a thref3-cornered fight. 0 was form-
erly held by a Conservative, Dr. A.
W. Nixon. Dr. Nixonwasa popular
member, and held a good share of
his vote in the rural polls. ,
"I am glad s that the Government
has come to a decision as to the seats
to be opened," said Mr, J. J. 1Viorri-
80n, 13. F. 0. „necretary, last hight.
'41 am now able to explain my part
in 'a, matter which has been misunder-
stood and misrepresented, A commit-
tee of the ministers was appointed to
deal with the matter, and to that
connnittee my name was added with-
out consulting me, beeause of my wide
*acquaintance with the supporters of
the U. F. 0. in the country. I have
gove over. the field and done what the
committee directed. That is all. It
is quite wrong to suggest that the
country has been under the rule of
our association. It has been anner
the. rule of the elected representatives
of the people who chose Mr. Drury
as leader and Prinin Minister.
• "Delay. has been caused benause
.re Wished to secure the voice of the
people rather than follow the old plan
• of executive domination. The Press
has incited impatience over the delay,
but we think that adherence to this
democratic principle established at the
begipning of the election campaign
'that the people shall decide' counts
more than the adverse criticism we
have treceived."
With the by-elections definitely fix-
ed, it is possible to forecast the prob-
able time for the calling of the Leg-
islature. It the plan is adhered tb
of bringing. on the by-election for Mr.
Raney a week after the others'the
Attorney -General be either a
member of the Legislature, or en-
gaged in writing his resignatiOn by
February 23rd. The Government will
probably allow itself a week, and
pessible two weeks, after the last by-
• election to put the -final touches to
the sessional programme, which indi-
cates an opening on Tuesday, March
• 2nd, or a week later, on the 9th. The
latter date would be about three
weeks later than usual. Even an
opening on March 2nd, however, would
not allow sufficient time for the House
tecomplete its business before Easter
and an adjournment over the holiday
seems a certainty., The only time in
the past decade.wen the House at
after Easter, was the late session
some years ago which dealt with the
Proudfoot charges against the late
Hon. Mr, Hanna. 1
The•Labor members of the Legisla-
ture met at the Walker House yester-
day and denided to hold a meeting on
Tuesday, January 27th, ,te consider
labor legislation to be introduced at

31:P.P., for South Brant, wiltbe chair-
man, and only Labor members and
Labor candidates will be present. 'The

CROMARTY
Notes. -A union meeting of the
Staffa Methodist Auxiliary and the
Croniarty Auxiliary of the W. M. S.
was held in the manse recently. There
was a good attendance of members
and the meeting was pleasant as vein
as profitable. Mrs. Ritchie, M. A.,
President of the Cromarty Auxiliary
and Mrs. J. Scott, fiirst Vice President
both gave splendid papers, Some of
the visitors also helped in the pro-
gramme, and while lunch was being
served Rev. D. Ritchie sang several
sacred selections. -The prospect of a
store in our village for convenience
and also cheerfulness is indeedi pleas-
ing and every one wishes Mr. and
Mrs. Graham success. The store is
now open and business is in operation.

'GREY
Death or the late Andrew Hislop.
-After a brief illness from pneu-
monia, Andrew Hislop, 15th conces-
sion, was called aivay from tirne in
his eighty-seventh year. Mr. Hislop
was born, at Ettrick, Selkirkshire,
Scotland, Ma,y 19th, 1833, being the
fifth son of the late John Hislop. In
1852 he, with his father, two -siltf.--rs
and younger brother, came to CO.-
xour older brothers of the family
having emigrated some years prior.
During the autumn of that year the
entire family with one exception, set-
tled on the land on the 15th conces-
sion of Grey, whelk he continued to
reside for the remainder of his days,
a period of more than sixty-seven
years. In 1843 he married -Miss %is-
,
an McNair, of the same tosvnihip. By
honest industry and good 'manage-
ment they abundantly prospered and
after twenty-three years of happy
tliarried Iife Mrs. Hislop was called
ere. Mr. Hislop was
a man, ofaction, "whatsoever his hand
to do. he did'it with his rnight."
Wall It progressive and successful
r.,...41...ttle and methodical in
every detail of management; an
apostle of thorough tillage and good
crops and as a breeder, reader and
judge of live stock had very few
equals. His occupation, however,did
not absorb all..his interests as he was
an extensive reader and a shrewd ob-.
,rver. possessing a fund of informa-
tion that never failed to make hin
versation interesting and edifying.
Mr. Hislop was a man of remarkable;
physical endurance. On one' -occasion
in early pioneer life he left his bro-
ther's home in Waterloo County for
his father's house in Grey, travelling
on foot and carrying a grain cradle
on his shoulder, he reached his des-
tination about midnight of the same
day and next morning went to work
and worked all day cutting grain as
though the previous day's exploit of
walking seventy miles ',was an ordin-
ary affair. For years after the first
settlement in this part of the country
there was no doctor nearer than Har-
purhey, neither telephones, telegraPhs
nor horses. In cases of accidents or
sickness the subject of this -notice

BAYFIELD
Annual Meeting, -The annual meet-
ing of $t. Andrew's church was held
on January 13th. The Rev_ A. Mac-
farlane presided, and there was a fair
attendance. All the reports were most
entouraging • and gave evidence of
progress in each organization. Dur-
ing the year nine ineenbers were' add-
ed to the roll and -five removed, leav-
ing a membership of 128. The finan-
cial reports were as follnWs: Amount
reified for current expenses $1,517;
expenditure 41,414; balance, $103;
Missionary offerings $311; Sunday
school $170. Ladies' Aid $114. Wo-
men's Missionary Society, 084;

sion Band $10, .a total of $2,306. The
minister's stipend was raieed to
$1,500.
Public Library. -The annual meet-
ing of the library board was held in
the town hall on Monday afternoon,
with a very poor attendance of the
subscribers. Owing to the removal of
the presiderit, Rev. Mr. Everest, a new
president had to be appointed, and as
no one else could be found to accept
Rev. A. Macfarlane was ,appoifited
• president as well as librarian. -Geo.
Greenslade was appointed secretary.,
and treasurer, and Miss Hilda King,
• as assistant librarian, is in charge in
the library-. The board wishes to
draw attention to the 'rule regarding
the length of time a book may be kept
-two weeks. Many people careless-
ly fail to reture a book for weeks,' or
even months, and other subscribere
with equal • rights- have to ' wait an
unreasonable time for the book they
want. This (is unfair, and the direc-
tors would like to have an improve-
ment in this direction. They also
wish to point out another infringe-
ment of the rules, the habit of lend-
ing a book amongst subscribers, br
even non -subscribers, without return-
ing it 'teethe library or notifying the
librarian. Unless the librarian has a
k record of • all books borrowed, it is
impapaible to Make complete, returns
to the Government, as is expected once
a year. It is to be hoped that. in fu -
tine all subscribers will bear these
facts in mind and so sale confusion
for the officers.

Death of Mrs. Fisher. -It is with
feelings of much regret that we this

be read with melancholy interest by
many of our readers' Of this vicinity.
of the death of Mrs. Robert Fisher.
`A cloud of sorrow was cast over the
home of Mr..Robert Fisher, of Neelin,
Manitoba, when on the 9th of January
his beloved Wife • passed away to her

Vain. Mrs. Fisher's?maiden name was
Agnes Thompson arid was _the second
daughter of Ars. GeOrge Thompson,
of Tierilall.„ and was born, on the
farm south of our village, on which
her brother, %Robert, now resmes on
January 7th, 1867, and on March 7th,
1900, was mewled. The same year
Mr. and Mrs'. Fisher went to Harvey,
North Dakota, going to Neelin, Man.,
in 1903. Besides her sorrowing hus-
band and three daughters, -Mrs.

and will have the sympathy of many
friends of this vicinity.

terred on Thursday of last week. Mr.
McDonell had been sufferink from
Bright's disease for some time but
had been, going around quite sMartly
up until a couple of days of his death,

sympathy of all in their bereavement.

Bell going out to. the barn with his

NEW ATTORNEY -GENERAL -
Hon. William Edgar Raney, KC
the new Attorney -General of Ontario
who comes of a blending of good
Frencli Huguenot and United Empire
Loyalist stock. When Col. De Ber-
nard's regiment wa's disbanded after
the American Revolutionary War his
troopers ,were given land in Eastern
Ontario. A farm on the banks of the
St. Lawrence, a mile east of what 4s
, now the -village of Aultsville, fell to
Frederick Rennee, as he spelt _his
• name. Into this Wilderness of the
eighties of the eighteenth century,
Frederick Renee brought -a bride
from Montreal, also of French an-
cestry, but of the ancient faith. Of
this union on the original homestead

, Law and the 'gold medal for his
' year,. .

t i himself as an independent- Liberal, -
, While a law student at Toronto he
' was one of the founders of the
Young Men's Liberal. Club, but in
1904 he lent his aid to bring in- the
Whitney Administration,. and from
fltht date until the election of 1914
he was a supporter- of that GOvern-
ment. In 1914 he led a forlorn hope
against' Mr. Gooderham in south-
• west Tomtit() in a "Banish the Bar"
campaign. ' .
Always a, crusa.der against wrong
in whatever form he saw it, Mr.
Raney directed Skis energies chiefly
• against the drink traffic and the evil
of race -track gambling. Some of hi* -
foes regarded him as a "narrow-
gauge" reformer, but they had to ad-
1 mit that he was a fair fighter. His
friends and associates -credit hink
with a sanity and balance that great-
ly steadied his fellow -crusaders.
"He is a true friend, a beanie
.fighter, never a quitter, and a horse
to work," is the sentence size -up at
the man by one of his most intimate •
friends. "He's not one of the ties,*
it to George' kind. Nothing makes
• him so mad as anything that savor* --
0! injustice. If he sees anything un- -
fair he -wants to kit it." , •
He has a brother who is a Meth,.
