SEAFORTH, Friday, May 7, 192o.
ANCYDIER GHOST WALKS
Another ghost that will not down
is patronage. Sir Sam Hughes has a
motion on the order paper about it.
Re would like te go back to the old
state of things, as would most of the
other party stalwarts, because he con -
Wads it fairer to everybody.
Just as the doctrine that carApaign
funds are purer when the individual
contributions are smaller is attacked
so is the other, dectrine ofe the, re-
formers impugnedeenamely that pa-
tronage has been cut oat simply be-
cause It is centralized. in. a Civil
Service Contertisiiirt at Ottawa and is
subject to air Pie pulls that Ottawa
is heir to. tet
The last ditch spoils-oftoffiC'e boys
contend that the Civil Servi.ce Com-
mission is simply a system7of
tempered by written examinations and
that in the lone run patronage is
more of a cursepthan ever, because it
is not diffused like the gentle dew,
as was formerly the case, but is the
exclusive fountain of the Cabinet
Ministers at Ottawa. They contend
that it works out in practice very
much like the old system but with
this difference—that the Cabinet
Minister has the first claim on the
office -holder's gratitude and the mem-
ber of Parliament for the district the
second. Naturally this puts the mem-
ber's nose out of joint because he
would fain be Lord. Bountiful to
those who have helped to put hint
where he is. _
What happens when somebody
down in Frontenac country, let us
say, applies for a job, previously ad-
vertised in the local newspapers, and
his application, is favorably viewed
by the Civil Service Commission?
The job, we will suppose, comes, =-
der one of the numerous departments
mothered by Mr. Rowell. What
happens in this. The name being
passed on by the Commission to Mr.
Rowell that industrious gentleman
writes to Dr. Edwards, M P., asking
hint all alit:tut the candidate whom, of
course, Dr. Edwards knows as well
as he knows his own shoes. Dr.
Edwards writes back in glowing terms
and on his recommendation the ap-
plicant finally lands the job. In due
course the applicant receives word
from the Civil. Service Commission
that he has been appointed. This is
followed up by a nice little note from
Mr. Ron -ell who wishes the new man
success and leaves it to be implied
that thanks axe due to Union Gov-
ernment and Mr. Rowell, from whom
• blessings flow. Dr. Edwards, of
course, is not mentioned because it
might confuse the new man to indi-
cate more than two objects for his
undying gratitude.
Patronage By Wholesale.
That is patronage by retail so to
speak. Patronage by wholesale is
even more debatable. The Central
Purchasing Committee iS a case in
point. Last session Mr. Rowell
fathered this project which was
thrown out by a thumping majority.
The enemies of 'the new system of
patronage got together and killed a
scheme to elothe three men with
power to buy supplies amounting to
fifty million dollars a year. The
most casual observer will realize
what a tremendous lever that com-
mittee of three, judiciously selected
by the Government in power, can be
to keep the Government in power.
Three men are much more easily
controlled than say twenty men who
now do the purchasing for the various
departments and who do it very well
indeed. Parliament, ,even that part
of Parliament. whieh is addicted td
new ideas. - saw the danger and
Promptly seetchni the bold attempt.
Last year's pronosal was bad enongh
but when the same thing crime be-
fore the ifor.:*O 401'.1.4 sotzsiOn, with the
additional provtdon that the chair-
man of the Committee of Three
should be a Caltret Minister, Parlia-
ment gave. a 101.1:1 snert of disgust,
and said: 'Thi e is too much!" The
resolution Feel r Georee Foster's
name attachee but that did not make
it smell any sweeter, because it was
tronerally believed that Mr. Rowell
wag the Cabled: Miidtter who aimed
to be Lord Hielt Almoner as Chahe
man of the (ern:levee. Telte meet
eood men Mr. Rowell never forgets
to be eneri in himself.
Caueuees werc held and the caucuses
were all against thie effort by Mr.
Rowell to make himeelf the Universal
Giver. the Fniry Co. -Hanel- and the
'greatest man in the Government Sir
George did hs best with the motion,
'was sweetly reasohable at first; then,
finding the House obdurate. was
stern not to say threatening; then,
Parliament being stiff-necked still,
was tolerant and gentle and tenderly
smiling-, a method which he has
employed with great success of late.
But it was till of no avail—emiles,
tears, threats, entreeties failed to
roe've the House from its invincible
determinationto curb the patronage
evil while the curbing was good.
They refused, in short, to trust even
Mr. Rowell with the job from which
all blessings would flow. So the
motion was quietly withdrawn—with-
drawn for keeps one supposes, as Mr.
Rowell will probably be provided for
lsewhere before, Mother year retie
onnd. -
'The Job at „Washington.
,
Mr. Rowell says -"Ne but his name
persistently mentioned as the first
Canadian envoy ete Washington. It
is Out custom to provide defunct or
moribund politicians with good joint,
to ease them out -of public life at our
aim expense. It comes high, but it
gets rid of our .heattbreaks. Foe`
leetanee therirenesAlit William Hearst
rh eetis shell a conspieuous failare,
thet'he now enjoys a workless job at
seven thousand dollars a year for the
remainder of his natural life. And
now, there is—but why be invidious?
As I was going to say Canada is
to have an envoy at Washington—
quite an envoyable position -toe.. to
speak, at 'fifteen thousand dollars a
yean—andrumor, in spite of his
blushes, connects Nevtton Wesley
Rowell with g the job. Rumor also
connects Sir Robert Boedenwith the
same job. It is ,said that whoever has
the ear of the Governor-General will
get it. It is well known that the
Governor-General has the usual sup-
ply of ears --two, count 'em, two—and
that Sir Robert has one of them. But
who bites the other, time alone will
tell. It seems a pity that the Duke
hasn't three pars—then the voice of
the people might find a repository
and somebody would be sent to Wash-
ington who would get business for
Goethe.
Be that as it may Mr. Rowell is
first in the betting. The appropria-
tion. of eighty thousand dollars' will
not go far at Washington prices, but
it will at least provide a small staff,
an office and perhaps a house for the
envoy to live in. If Mr. Rowell finds
the fifteen thousand dollars gamy
exiguous no doubt his brother uplifter,
William Jennings Bryan, will fix him
up with a Chautauqua lecture circuit
that will help out. Mr.. Rowell ought
tonmake a great hit in Washington.
He can talk the birds out of the
trees and there are lots, of birds
down there.
Canada, we are informed, was a
nation some years ago, but Mr.
Rowell deserves the Washington job
for rediscovering the stupendous fact,
People here don't know just what an
envoy is but it is said to be something
classy—not quite an ambassador but
a good deal more than a bell -boy,
with a uniform to match. Mr. Rowell
has the figure for it—his legs, though
slim, are real pillars of state. As
a nation, we are to be allowed to
make our own treaties and such—
just as we have been doing for a
long time—but Mr. Rowell, or who-
ever is our envoy, will sign them first.
The practice lids been to send them
to Dowing Street for signature, have
them coine back by return mail• and
then do our own signing on the dotted
line. This practise is now to be re-
versed—and our envoy at Washing-
ton is to do the teversing.—H. P. G.

HOW I GROW MY GLADIOLI
Wm. Hartry, Seaforth.
The following- article is from the
annual . report of the Horticultural
Societies of Ontario as published by
the Ontario Department of Agricul-
ture, and should prove interesting
'and instructive to all horticulturists,
especially at this season of the year;
In my opinion there is no flower
that will give such great returns for
the labor and money as the gladiolus.
Its range of color from almost black
to almost pure white, its freedom from
insect pests, and its great lasting
qualities assure this claim, It is as a cut
flower that the gladiolus is of the
M9St Value.
About October 1st I cut a number
of spikes just as the second bloom
opened, placed them in a vase of
water, changed the water three times
e week, cutting a portion of the end
of the spike, and at the end of three
weeks there were still some good
blooms. - On one spike—Pink Pede&
tion—four flowers measured 4tte -inches
each.
In securing bulbs never buy cheap
collections. You are sure to get a
large percentage of inferior ones.
Rather buy a mixture of geed sound
bulbs. or better still, secure named
varieties. You know. flower lovers
are the most unselfish and generous.
people one meets. It gives the .ginat-
est pleasure to the grower to be able
to tell the admirer of a certain 'var-
iety the name, thus enabling your
visitor to obtain what you so much
admire yourself.
I will mention some gladioli I have
grown, commencing with the earliest
to bloom. •
Halley. Possibly the best and cheap-
est yet -produced; a splendid 'salmon
Empress of India. Very rich dark
brown, sometimes streaked with
lighter color.
Baron Hullet. Granddark blue,
tall spike, medium sized flower.
Niagara. A fine large bloom, light
yellow and a strong grower. -
Glory of Holland.- White, .yellow
shaded. good size and a sure bloomer.
Lily Lehman. A real dainty white,
shaded cream.
Pink Perfection. A really grand
flower, large and of e fine satiny
finish.
Panama. Another splendid pink,
this. gladiolus created a great
sensatien when first introduced in
Hollatalehulblets selling as high aS$29
per pint,
Wm. Falconer. Fine .large blush
Mrs. Frapees King. A splendid light
red color, a strong grower.
America. A fine light pink, strong
stem, very good.
Pence. One of the strongest grow-
ers; a good white flower. with violet -
shaded spot in thethroat.
Princeps. A strong grower, very
large scarlet flower with white throat.
Many new varieties have been added
since the above list was made.
All the above are splendid stock.
HOW 1 Grow Them.—Select an open
space away from all beds, trees or
borders. MI a trench the desired
length, 7 inches deep and about 12
inches wide. Throw the surface soil
on one side; the sub -soil on the other
side. Now, having obtained some
good, well deconeposed manure, put

inches of surface soil, then with a

had lived the major part of his life.
ion the farm on which he was born,
with the exception. of.a few years,
when he farmed west of Kippen.
About a year ago, owing to the un-
certain state of his health, he rented
his farm on the 10th concession, of
Hibbert, and came to reside in the
village. Mr. Chambers was a man
deeply interested in. horses, being a
prize winner at many of the shows,
and he did his share in the improve-
ment of the industry. The funeral
service was held in, the Methodist
church on Tuesday, being conducted
by the Rev, A. E. .Doan, the large
number of people present testified
to the esteem in which he was held.
; The remains were interred in Mc-

sympathy of the community in their
loss.

come when the farmer must take his

so must fit himself likewise. The
continuation work gives him that
education right at home. We can-
not value in dollars and cents what
this means to every child but we can
value it as a mighty asset to the
future of our country. . We hope those
.interested may consider the consoli-

years. In 1857 he moved to Hibbert
township and took up the farm on
which he died. Two years after coin-
ing here he was unitedein marriage
to Miss Janet Park, Whol. predeceased
him five years ago. Mr. McKellar
