EDGE EXETER FALL FAIR Ideal weather and , a tremendous crowd made the annual fall fair of the Exeter Agricultural Society, held on Tuesday last, as huge success. Few of the smaller: fairs seem. to retain the interest that is always manifested not only by the town people, but by the surrounding country as does this annual event at Exeter. This year was no exception. In fact the at- tendance this year wa eater than ever, while the exhib' , both inside and on the ground, w e the best in some years. There as a very fine display of horses, m e' especially in the heavy classes, wh re the competi- tion was very keen, and judging was not completed until nearly six o'clock. The cattle exhibits were also above the average, 'both in numbers and quality, and there was a fine exhibit of poultry, sheep and hogs. Two ex cellent races on the afternoon's pro- gramme added much to the interest of the afternoon._ The total gate re- ceipts amounted to about $750.

With Premier Meighen pouring out elo- quence in one end of the country, Hon. Mackenzie King elocuting in another and farmers' picnics breaking out like smallpox in all corners of Ontario the man who cannot satisfy his crav- ing for spell -binding' must be more or less of a glutton for platitudes. In short everybody in high political spots -acts s as if there was an elec- tion in the offing. But there isn't. The present. Parliament will draw its increased indemnities for - one more session or maybe two, before Premier Meighen goes to the country. Hon. Arthur would like to do it sooner, but the same influences that kept a disgruntled Cabinet from kick- ing over the trace when Sir Robert Borden retired .are still at work. They can see no ray of ,hope on the present political horizon, but they are determined to stick till the last dog is han'ged•, in the hope that some King Canute may arise to beat back the threatening waves of farmer votes. So they cheer up the sad -faced young Premier with stories that every day he and his cause are growing in favor with that country he fain would serve. They've also rigged him out with the semblance of an organiza- tion. He now has an organizer; also a political- business manager in the person of John Bain, who 'got his elementary education at the footstool. of Hon. Clifford Sifton; and at least one abortive attempt has been made to provide him with a press agent, But withal Little Arthur is the most lonesome little King who ever sat on the Ottawa throne. The Cab- inet is not of his choosing; he himself is far from being their choice. They are both with hini and "again" him. There is not one man around his council table to whom he can look foe guidance and sympathy. Yes, the Premier stands alone, gazes out over the heads of a -sullen ; circle of so-called_ advisers and vain- ly scans the country beyond for cheery word or look. So do you wonder ' that those who would fend off elec- tions' feed him what he craves? And , truth to tell, the sharp-tongued little lawyer whom fate has ushered into the seats of the mighty is a more likeable person since his -greatness was thrust upon him. He realizes his responsibilities and is trying to shed the clever nastiness that eharaeteriz- ed his utterances when, as a minor member of the Cabinet, he was con- tinually shoved; into the% ireach to excuse the inexcusable. You begin to wonder if after all there is not greatness concealed somewhere about him when you see him modestly carry • ing the burden of high office and ht:nestly trying to make his words become the place he yet may orna- ment. The sneering smile is gone from his face and the one that- so - infrequently replaces it has some- thing peculiarly plaintive about it. Always a pessimist, Hon. Arthur would appear to have found the fruit of - realized ambition but ashes in his mouth. For his fate grows daily more mournful, his physical frailness becomes more pronounced and, if there is sunshine behind the clouds that conceal his future, he betrays by neither word or look any sign f that he has caught a glimpse of it. But to turn from the sad -eyed young Premier to a snore amusing subject take a long, close look at Sl- ent James Calder, Can you teus shat he contemplates doing next? If you can, kindly hurry a bit and relieve the curiosity of an impatient public. There is always a trace of secret amusement in the hidden re- cesses of James' eyes. He seems tee , enjoy the condensed mystery that - emanates from his person. Some- times you get a clue to what he is- thinking—but not often. Just resent - 1Y he is said to have hunted in his.. own secretive way that he is ted up to a° bunch of dead ones. Now Sil- ent James' favorite sport never was acting as pall -bearer. He demonstrat- ed that in the autumn of 1917 whoa he deserted his idolized Leerier and, swinging in behind the TJ.,ion band wagon, speedily crawled up to a place on the driver's 'seat, "Calder loved Laurier. There is no one in theres- ent Government, save and except James Calder, - for whom he wastes any affection. Moreover., he ° has reason to believe that when the time is opportune Premier Meighen will throw him to the Tory wolves, No one can move faster than James when he decides to move—and he may de- cide to move at any moment now. He is going out as a member - of the tariff commission. Some people would award him the. Victoria Cross for goingbackto his native free - trade trade Regina as a member of that Tory tariff commission. But James - knows that he is living in "parlous" political times. He may figure to turn the peril to his advantage? - Could you even imagine him turning in a minority report on the tariff= and with it his resignation as a member of the Meighen Cabinet? James Calker has still a lot of personal friends in that Great West that denounces him so fiercely. If he turned a trick like that wouldn't those friends gather him again to, their bosom and wouldn't the old Saskatchewan machine swing back in- toits old busy hum once_a aix� if ' James again donned the overalls ain-d ministered to its wants with a brand new can of free trade oil? Of course all this is only . supposi- tion.. But keep an eye on James. Ile won't sit by while someone else is digging a political grave for him. He is, very much alive to the eitua- tion. Once he makes up his mind,,. where he wants to go he'll go with - sonae suddenness: The political way is a bit hazy atpresent but James has good eyes and a strong pair of pol;tical. glasses. Premier Meighen will have to make a quick move to get the' jump on Gentle Silent James, That tariff commission of - which. Mr, Calder is a 'member is not too "Tory" in its make up. Sir Harry Drayton, Hon. Dr. Tolmie and Hon.. James Calder are its full line-up and there's not an old. hardshell Tory in - the lot. For Sir Harry Drayton was broad enough in his political views to get a job under an Ontario Grit -_ Government and as for Dr, Tohnie Do- one can tell with any degree of cer- - tainty just what he was before he, - bobbed up as a Unionist. At that he's a pretty good sort of person to meet and a pretty fair Minister- of Agriculture. But, figure as you nay, that Com- mission assays about 66 per cent. Grit. Sonne people put the percent- age higher than that, They say it, would be 75 per cent. Grit with James Calder on it if the other two members - were hide bound. Perhaps the, Premier didn't want to offend his Native West by sending out Com— missioners missioners who would wave the old N. Pe flag with too much enthusiasm. For you know political observers from the prairies give Hon. Arthur - - a chance to again carry his old seat - of Portage La Prairie, - They also hasten to add that it is the only con- stituency, barring one or two in the cities, that the Unionist can hope too carry between the Great Lakes and the Rocky Mountains. So much for Hon. Arthur and ' Gentle James, Turn from them for- a or-a moment to Hon. W. L. Mackenzie - King.
