PARLIAMENTARY LEITER
The longest period of indecision and
inaction trust end sometime --even
though that period is of indecision on
the part of the gn"rrnlnent with re-
gr'd to the calling „f bye-elertba
and :nuking 'tl.. its mind in the lin'c-
tion of a gen- at election, The prem.
ier has promised to speak, and en-
lighten the eountry as to what is go-
ing on in his mind. Perhaps there• is
a thought of election there, but .n'li-
catiohe are the other way.
The end of the six months period
within which the writ for West York
constituency had almost been reached
when, the Government plucked up suf-
ficient courage to take the bull by
the horns and issue the call. Nuw
the writs are out calling for nomina-
tions on September 22nd with the
pillingtwo weeks later. on October
6th. That in itself may be taken as
an indication that the Government
has no thought of any immediate
general election, and the probabilities
are that contests will be staged in
-four or five of the vacant constitu-
encies in order that if the Govern-
ment can pull gone or two wins it
will have ane se for saying th•tt
it still has a mandate.
During the last couple of weeks,
since the Premier gut back from Ie,n-
don, the country has been treated to
an exhibition of drifting before the
wind similar to that which aroused
the ire of everyone before Mr.Meie-
hen became Premier. First there has
been a wavering toward the derision
to call an election, :and then a similar
wavering back to the hanging on
ider, until the G•,vermnent, in the
face of things, looked like a weed
swayed by - every passing breeze.
Newspapers and persons, hitherto
supporters of the Government, have
been urging Mr. Meighen to give up
the ghost and go to the country, ad-
mitting as they dill so that there was
no hope of anything but defeat for
himself and his party. The private
members of his support, knowing that
an extra session meant an extra four
thousand dollars, have urged him in
the opposite direction and apparently
wan out,
,The Premier has maintained silence
trough it all. but finally announced
that he would make a statement on
the Government's poli -'y at a public
meeting in Ontario early in Septemb-
er. Since then he has ::nnnunced
that he would address a meeting in
London on September 1st, and it is
expected that he w!1' choose that a-
the opportunity of <aying what he in-
tends fining. In :he meantime no op-
portunities are being lost by his fol-
lowers of circulating pan "y- propa-
ganda, and every day or so a,mething
is hander, .;ur ,tit the Hill which has
all the ear'n,srkr of }liana intended

to blame :he G -;cern ant of -hose
days for ,ver -development of rail-
ways. The farther loans and hand-
outs made to the Mackenzie and Mann
crowd since 1911 are prartically
overlooked in the condenmatinn of
earlier mistakes. The whole trouble
apparently, he finds, is that there are
more railways than there is business
for them to handle, and the Canadian
National, lacking the equipment,
roadbed and management that its
competitor has always insisted open,
finds itself on the short end of the
stick.
Many more millions must be poured
into the maw before there is any rt' -
turn, and the doughty knight from
Toronto would reorganize the Notion-
al corifpany, having the Government
accept stock in lien of it.s present
securities, and then put the who!,
thing in the hands of a big enough
Man to pull it out of the h•de. to

ernment would. -,get a return out of
$he profits --when there were any.

wee condemned by the Tvey opposi-

At the present time the National
system is paying out in operating
'costs about $'1.28 for every dollar's
worth of business it is able to trans-
act, so that it Is not hard to see why
Sir Jpseph was unable to see any im-
mediate prospect of the system mak-
ing any money. And, as rates are to
be reduced, ,in all probability, about
the middle of next month, there is
little prospect of losses being in any
way reduced during the balance of
this year's operations.
Canada has lost a fine•son in the
death of Sir Sam Hughes. One of
the outstanding figures in the Borden
Government during the early years
of the war, and the man who had to
shoulder the blame fur a lot of others'
sins, Sir Sam was honored and re -
spieled for what he aeeornphshed, and
despite his faults. Canada is poorer
through his death and his place will
n,, soon he fillet. He will be missed
front Parliament, fur everyone there
respected his sincerity, and parlia-
mentarians of every shade of political
stripe .are united in expressing sor-
row at the loss of this fine old mem-
ber.

BRUCEFIELD
('hur-h Society Picnic ---The ,first
picnic "f the Y. P. S. C. E. of Bruce -
held, was held on Friday, August 213
to Bayfield and was a grand suc-
eess. The truck carried a happy✓joy-
,•os crowd tn,enjoy the lake breezes-
',tis:ed, teams played a game of base-
ball and we are sorry to say that our
girls didn't even get a "swat" at the
h.!1. The call to dinner was wel-
c•,,med by all, although a few were
almost drowned at the table owing to
the re;antity of water meted nut to
tl-ent. After dinner football was in-
dolged in until the game became too
fast for the boys as the girls proved
t" be excellent players, although it
did take three of them to attend goal.
Later all proceeded to the beach and
ninyed water sports. A terrific
sandstorm, arose and many of the
girls were nearly buried alive. The
young people went back to the park
where races then took place, and the
following are the winners: Girl's
r.ue-Isabel Souter, Lorna Aiken -
head; boys' race -George McCartney,
Bill Landsborough; cereal race -Isa-
bel Souter and Jimmie McIntosh;
coat race -Lorna Aikenhead and Ross
Chapman; chum race -Isabel Souter
and Webster McNaughton; three-leg-
ged race -Anna Hlaugh and Johnnie
McIntosh; shoe race -Isabel Souter;
relay race, (boys against girls) -
This was won by the boys; wheel-
barrow race, .Tins Souter and Ross
Broadfoot; doughnut race - Bill
Souter. Sides were again chosen un-
der the leadershin of Bill Landsbor-
ough and George McCartney for base -
The runs were so 'numerous
that 00 one could even make a guess
at the score. The girls redeemed
tl'emselves as -one of their numbers
reached third base before the umpire
called "three out." Everybody was
delighted when supper was announc-
ed. Miss Flora MacDonald, of Ham-
ilton, after supper treated us to sev-
eral Scotch songs and dances. When
darkness was creeping on marchmal-
lows were roasted on the beach,
.Among the accidents that occurred
when the wind suddenly carried off
one of the boy's caps over the lake,
It is to be sold on arrival at Michi-
gan at a reduced rate. The success
of the picnic is due largely to the
work of the president, John McIn-
tosh. and his able helper the vice-
president, Miss Anna Mae Haugh, and
the Sport C,,omntittee. The chaperones
behaved themselves very
well al-
though they were glad to see such a
wild band depart for home thankful
that another year would elapse be-
fore the event would occur again.
