THE HURON EXPOSITOR
SEAFORTII, Feeley, March 4, 1921
PREMIER 1>UCKY'S
I'REI)R'AMENT
Look at the flour plan of the On-
tario Legislutu -n and you will notice
that nifty-tive members est en each
side of Speaker 1':trlia0 r t Mr.
Parliament is the one hundred and
eleventh member of the Assembly.
it s, happens that the Speaker's
int.to ural the ('ler:.'.; table divide the
' H''use evenly neem -ding to pulite:el
alignmerit of Government support
and Opposition. The Drury admini-
stration has n t recognizable major-
ity.
The balance, huwtver, is not as
exact as it looks. J. Walter Curry,
the member for South -East Toronto
(Seat "B"), who ran at H. H. Dew -
arts personal solicitation, and who
on election night declared himself a
thick and thin follower of the Liberal
Leader, is bound by stronger hooks
to the Government than any one of
half a dozen 1I. le. O. and Labor
members sullenly sitting behind Mr
Drury. Three occupants of seats on
the right of ,lr. Speaker are reputed
to be 1, psychological
wxitin r the mo-
ment to vete against the Government
on any question of principle.
When Dr. Huss, o: Kingston, just
prior to the Cees native convention,
,t
issued • d the
mut.
-un to unsena rues
e
'bine a'inst "the
n Liberals to cum 5
and Lb >_
common enemy," there Was conster-
nation in Mr. Drin', councils; and
though the elettien of Howard
Ferguson to the leadership consider-
ably allayed the aroused sense of
danger, from that hoar the platform
talk of Mr. Drury about the futility
of "group" or "Blast" Government
and the necessity fer a ''Peuille's
,Party" grew increasingly solicitous
and pointed. Previously the Premier
had been as partial to the inc of
the favorite U. F. O. phrase "class
consciousness" as J..1 :Morrison: but
for reasons of his own was quicker
to realize the small distance from
class consciousness to class conflict.
On the opening ;lay of the
Legislature, members were saying
that Mr. Drury would not be sorry
to be sent to the country by a want
of confident. vote. But the debate,
heard since having amply revealed
anew the spirit of uncompromising
hostility between the Liberal and
Conservative leaders, Mr. Drury is
breathing more easily.
The immediate prospeet, however,
is not free from real danger. This
Government that has not a majority
in the House, and whose two sup-
porting wings—U. F. O. and Labor
—represent only a scant third of
the votes polled in the recent Ontario
general elections, has financial under-
taking on foot and social reforms
in hand that no Government lacking
the mandate of a substantiallnajority
should proceed with.
According to the Provincial Treas-
urer's statement for the year ending
October 31st, 1919, the direct and
indirect liabilities of Ontario did not
quite amount to one hundred and
seventeen millions one short year
ago. By the published evidence of
the Deputy Provincial Treasurer last
week. the debt is now practically one
hundred and sixty millions. Hon.
Peter Smith will aay that almost
twenty-five millions of the increase
had been contracted 'for by Mr.
McGarry,and there was nothing
to do butg o into the market for
this stoney. It is an amazing thing
all the same, that in order to get it,
6.60 per cent. should be offered to
the investors. But because the money
was secured at an unprecedented rate
of interest, words of profound grati-
tude were put into the mouth of the
Lieutenant -Governor in the speech
from the throne.
The farmers are not unfamiliar
with current rates es of interest and
the value of security in the business
of credit. The editor of the Brace -
bridge "Gazette," who supported the
U. F. O. candidate in the general
elections against a brother editor
running as a straight Liberal—he
must have been an ardent convert
to the agrarian gospel—commenting
upon Farmer methods of replenshing
the Provincial Treasury, now says:
"When money lendere can get over
six per cent. from the Ontario Gov-
ernment, they will certainly produce
the- money; but these money lenders
do not care a hoot whether it is a
Farmer, Labor, a Liberal or a Con-
servative Government; all they want
is a gilt -edge security and big
interest. Mr. Drury does not consider
the Ottawa Government a popular
-one, and yet that discredited organiz-
ation floated an immensely bigger
lean ift a very much lower rate."
The Province of Quebec likewise
.got all the money it needed and
never paid more than 5.90, so that
-ie yield to the investors in Quebec
hoods was at least one per cent. less
'than. *e purchasers of Ontario bonds
.lookkd for.

On the social side the call of the
hour is for liberalizing both the
Workmen's Compensation law, and
last year Mothers' Allowance legisla-
tioni the extension of the child wel-
fare movement in all schools, rural
and urbsn, and for the development
of a public 'health campaign to
vindicate the coupling of health and
Weir under Mr. Rolle's guardianship.
Old age pensions and unemploysnent
insurance are held off only for the
present.
It is the apendieg eat- "rd of this
Government that is the real cause
of the fervent cussing going on be -
Lind closed doors in tee committee
tom un of the U. F. O. cxta•utivu, King
street east though the half articulate i
...muds heard on the outside are said
to moan, "all is harmony'." It must
be remembered th•tt the real political
'•bjeetive of the P 1. 0 is the
1)ominien citadel. The Provincial j
Government was hut tea outpost. Mr.
Mot 'eon is sad. To him it looks now
that it was in an unlucky hour the
Drury Government was ,•ter• born. If
the Government stands up until the
next F ieleral election, its financial
record will be pointed to as a horrible
(•anisole by all defenders of the
Mcighcn administration; but if it
:ebou!d fall in the meantime through
an adverse vote in the Legislature•,
the effect upon Ontario rural eon-
etituencies would nut be ealcubited
to strengthen the morals of the em-
battled fur -niers preparing for a
charge' upon the Ottawa stronghold.
Mr. Morrieon feels himself torn be-
tween two terrors. and has raised a
clear call for economy from every
platform from which he has speiken
since the show -mown with Mr. Drury
liefere the opening of the i.egislature.
M r. Drury, for his part, is proud
of en unparalleled output of :tat utas

opposition to help hits do as much

Mr. Drury has Ti,, majority-. but with
,;[odor beat was hard to distinguish
iron Bund, --wending cant, he explain -
mi to M r, hewart and Mr. Ferguson
why their parties are in political
iimluidatien, not neglecting to add that
Political evolution is producing a
higher type of citizenship that holds
profes.sirnal pulitlrians anathema. Of
tour•-" this was tantamount to de-
scribing himself as the hest product
of political evolution, and suggesting
that llartley and Howard must learn
to know their lowly places. as it
were, at the feet of the gods. He
told them with raised e'yebrow's that
they may have the privilege of co-
r•perating with his Government, but
should not oppose it.
The Opposition leaders must have
something to say upon this point for
themselves. Mr. Dewart has on the
order paper a resolution that is a
challenge to Mr. Drury on the
principles of responsible parliamen-
tary government. It is open to the
Premier to regard this As a want
of confidence vote, and if he feels
his position untenable, he may do so.
Hard as it would go aginet Howard
Ferguson's grain to vote with Mr.
Dewart, he could not conceivably vote
with the Government against this
resolution as it is drawn. Again,
Mr. Raney is pledged to re -introduce
his bill of last year doing away with
Privy Council appeals. The Conserv-
atives would have to vote to a man
with Dewart against this bill, and
probably a few sulky U. F. O. mem-
bers would do the 'same. On this
issue the Government might be
beaten. But what is likely to hap-
pen is that Mr. Raney will make
another long speech and beat another
clumsy retreat as he did last year.
There is little else in the sessional
programme upon which the Govern-
ment could fall and destroy itself.

The liquor trade was acceptably kill-
ed by the men engaged in the busi-
ness; prohibition is already threaten-
ed by the malignancy of prohibi-
tionists in official action, and indica-
tions point to the breaking of this
wave of agrarian class 'government
against its own helplessness to deliver
the goods, the first delivery promised
being economy. That at least seems
the way things are now pointing in

Death of Mrs. Hugh McMillan, Sr.
—The death occurred at the home of
her son on Sunday morning last of
Mrs, Hugh McMillan, Sr., in her 98th
year.. For the past four or five years
the deceased had been a partial in-
valid, but previous to that all her
life she had been A woman with a
remarkably robust constitution, and
her death came not so much from
the result of any special ailment as
from the gradual wearing out of the
system. Mrs. McMillan was, we be-
lieve, the oldest citizen in point of
residence in the township and one of
the two last survivors of that great
pioneer band of men and women who
converted the trackless forest ,into
the Hob and beautiful township that
we have to -day. Born in Inverness-
shire, Scotland, in 1823, her maiden
name being Isabel McQunis, she
came to Canada with leer mother and
brother in 1850, the ocean voyage in
those days talking seven or eight
weeks. The family settled;in Stanley
