the possibilities of a successful coal
tion of the Farmer -Labor • parties in
the Ontario Legislation as follows:
Can the Labor Unions ,sad the
Farmers' Organizations coalesce into
a cohesive political party? On the
answer to this question will depend ,)
whether there will develop out of the
present chaotic political situation a
new permanent and powerful Radical
party, to be known as a Farmers -
Labor or a People's party, which will
naturally send into the opposing camp
all moderates and Conservatives.
It happens that in Canada greater
progress towards a solution of the
problem has been made than else-
where, though there are other coun-
tries, notably the United States, where
it is of imminent importance. In
Canada, despite industrial develop-
ment,. agriculture retains an almost
dominant political influence. If per-
fectly organized agriculture alone
might possibly achieve a fully domin-
ant position, but it is doubtful. And
to be able to look forward with any
confidence to achieving political power
the farmerF must find allies in the
cities and towns. As for the Labor
• party, if it paddles its own canoe it
can look forward to a . century of
opposition and political impotence.
Labor must have support from the
farmers, and the farmers need labor.
` But can oil and water mix?
So far as provincial politics are
concerned ,the impossible. has already,
happened, and farmers ; and Labor
have actually combined forces. The
Ontario illustration is, however, only
a straw showing which way the wind
is blowing. Conviction that the union
is ill -matched is based on the follow-
ing arguments: that the farmer is a
capitalist and the Labor Unionist is
often. Socialist; that the farmer as an
employer is a •and taskmaster who
pays low wages =and insists on long
hours -•-i12 or 14 a day=miles away
from the eight-hour ideal of the Labor
men; that the farmer wantes high
prices for the foodstuffs he produces
and that the laborer in the city must
have prices reduced.
Certainly these issues do not lack
importance,, and the cleavage seems
clear cut. How can there be any
compromise? The Socialism of the
Canadian trade unionist does not pro-
pose to socialize all the wealth of the
world, or to abolish private property.
Not in this generation, anyway: His
Socialism includes a belief in public
ownership of such things as municipal
services, hydro electric power develop-
_ ment, even of steam railways, but in
all these things he is in very respect-
able company, including even large
sections of the Conservative party.
If pressed he might go as far as to
say he favored , in theory public
ownership of all natural monopolies.
But as a practical issue land is not
included among the things to be
socialized. There is still too much of
it in this country to make it a mon-
opoly.
Beyond public ownership the Labor
Unionist's Socialism largely centres
about questions of taxation. He is
probably willing to concede that an
able man. is entitled to a large in-
come, but he will claim there is . a
limit to what any man can earn. He
will also concede that capital is en-
titIed to a return, a large return it
may be if the risk. is great, but again
he will -claim there should be some
limit. Therefore the Labor Union
Socialistwouldgrade g e income taxes
and excess profits taxes so that sud-
den and vast accumulation of unearn-
ed wealth would be prevented. ,
Now, to the farmer none of this
sounds very serious. His profits are
not so large or his holdings so great
that these proposals affect him per-
sonally. And, as a fact, the Farmer -
Labor Government of Ontario has al-
ready committed itself to just such
proposals. As the revenue require-
ments of the province are small the
policy adopted is not far-reaching ex-
cept in principle. But if a Federal
Farmer -Labor Goverrinent comes in-
to power and pursues a similar policy
the moneyed interests will know that
something radical has happened.
The cleavage between the farmers
and the Labor Unions seems forthe
present to be lost in the fight that
both are waging against an enemy.
That common enemy is the monopolist
and large-scale profiteer. To the ex-
tent that he holds the stage the dif-
ference between the farm and city
worker will be kept in the background.
The issue which more serioiisly
threatens the tentative alliance be-
tween farmers and Labor is the farm-
ers' low tariff or free trade policy.
Abroad Labor Unionists are Free
Traders. Here they are Protection-
ists. For forty years they have been
tend that their jobs were dependent
upon protective .tariffs, and they have
believed it. There are still living
trade unionists who remember the
unemployment and soup kitchens of
the period immediately preceding the
adoption of the National Policy or
Protective Tariff Policy. , The convic-
tions formed then have never been
dispelled by any free trade or low
tariff propaganda in Canada. That
may be due to .the weakness of the
propaganda. Now the New Farmers'
party is in deadly: earnest about re-
ducing the tariff.

of the Province of Ontario will never
be written. • What I am now going

be what lawyers call "heresay evi-

fore I was born, and most of the rest
of it occurred before I was of school
age. Wheri my parents settled in the

stands, aiid during the time it was
in existence, children came to it from
all directions for miles around. It is
doubtful if it was a section, whether
it had any fixed boundaries, as at
first the schools were supported and
maintained by 'what was known as a
"Rate Bill." It - was only those who
had :children attending school paid
school taxes, and they paid so much
per .month for each child that attend-
ed school. After a time it was ,left
to a vote of all the property owners
in the section ab the annual school
meeting whether the school should be
Rate Bill or Free School as it was
them called for the ensuing year.
Those who had children attending
school were free school men and they
generally won out for nearly every
log house in those pioneer days was
full of bright, healthy hofs and girls.
These were the good old days when
race suicide, we now hear so much of,
was unknown, and before wealth had
accumulated and men decayed. This
school at this time was taughtby a
$cotchman 'and hada the reputation
Seotchman , and had - the reputation
of being both a scholar and a teacher.
He boarded with the late W. R. Wil=
son, his old pupils who are still
alive, speak of him as a splendid man
and a .lend, genial, competent peda-
gogue. In looking over ' my late
father's papers some time ago I came
across the minutes of -the the first school
'meeting in _ Kippen. It was held in
1857 or sixty-three years ago. Gil-
bert Anderson was chairman and John.
Doig was secretary, and they decided
to build a hewed log schoolhouse in
Kippen and this was done, -the late
William W. Cooper, See 'gavel the
land for this purpose free of charge.
It stood near where the Presbyterian
Manse now stands. The first School
Board consisted of three trustees, viz.;
William Blair, Sr., Chairman; John
Doig, Secretary, and Jas. Anderson.
The first teacher was Mrs. Robert
Mellis, whose maiden name was John
Smith. She was a Normal school
teacher and attended that institution
the sante time as the celebrated Dr.
Sangster, whose aritheertic and alge-
bra, the school boys 'Ar. fifty gears
ago well remember. We, who were
born and, raised in the vicinity of
Kippen, well remember the good ad-
vice that she often gave us, to walk
the straight and narrow path, when
she and her estimable husband for so
many years kept the store -and., ,post
office, and - where we barefoot boys'
used to carry out eggs ° and butter
and return to our homes laden with
groceries for the family use in ex-
change for our trade, and alsortthe
mail. The next teacher was a Miss
Roach, from Stanley, but she did net
remain long a teacher in this school.
Another teacher who taught in this
school was George Thompson, and he
was quite popular with both parents
and pupil s. Another teacher
taught for two years was William
Plunkett, and who taught for many
years afterwards in Stanley, and was
township clerk also of that township.
Another teacher was Allan McDonald.
He was a Scotchman who moved with
the other members of his family from
Nova Scotia and , settled. in Tucker -
smith, and this family was one of the
brightest that ever lived in that town-
ship. Ther last teacher who taught
the old -Kippen school wag Miss
Jelni.rna Smith, who was afterwards
Mrs, (Dr.) Hutton, of Forest, and
was a sister of Kippen's first teacher,
and was considered a very efficient and
successful teacher. This school was
finally closed about the last of the
yeer 1863 or the beginning of 1864.
It was a union school, and pupils in.
large numbers came from far and
near, two pupils attended from near
Chiselhurst, Misses Annie and Chris-
tena" Stewart, who were afterwards
Mrs. George Wren and Mrs. John
Shepherd. The inspector in those
days was ,a Mr. Nairn, who occassion-
ally visited the school. --W. M. Doig.

The Late Miss C.V..Smith.---Hensall
this week lost another of its early
residents in the person of the late
Miss C. V. Smith, who carried• on a
fancy goods tore and millinery for a
long term of years, in fact until a
few years ago when her health be-
came so much impaired that she
could not continue on the business
and disposed of her property to Mr.
Thos. W. Parlmer and removed her
stock to her dwelling premises, which
she purchased from. Mr. J. Coulter.
Miss Smith failed very much during
the past year in particular and passed
away at the home of her sister, Mrs.
Cooper Forrest, on' Tuesday forenoon
last, where she had been staying for
a short time previous to her death.
The deceased was a daughter of the
late Mr. Malcolm Smith, late of the
township of Stanley, and had many
good qualities, and was an expert in
the making of all kinds of fancy art-
icles and needlework, and was very
bright " and intelligent. The funeral
which was a private one was held from
the home of Mrs. Forrest on Thursday
afternoon last to the family plot at
Hillsgreen.
Briefs.—The cold weather of the
past week or so is considered as very
favorable for the wheat crop and has
also added to the supply of molasses
and maple sugar.—The roads are and
have been for the past week the worst
of the season, making heavy teaming
almost out of the question. — Mr.
George E. ,Haist has this week added
a soda water fountain to his ice
cream parlor equipment.—Mr. Fred
Perry has moved into the dwelling
recently occupied by Miss Ethel Ful-
ton, and which he has rented for the
present. --,Dr. A. Moir is having a
nice interior stairway put in the rear
end of his office and rooms leading
to his dwelling apartment above,
which will make it very handy for
him and will also prove a convenience
for those wanting the doctor as they
will not have to leave the office and
go out on the street to ga up the
stairs from there as in the past.—

a thelogical course at Albert College,
