PARLIAMENTARY LEVFER
As election day drawa nearer there
is an increasing feeling of confidence
of victory among Liberals in all parts
of the Dominion, and a correapoading
lack of confidence among the Gov-
ernment party organizers. The peo-
ple are realizing more and more
every day that there is no ;hope of
Mr. 2feighen leading anything bet-
ter than a group in the next House,
and the same applying r
to 'M . Crerar.
Canada is not betting on a losing
horse, and therefore cannot afford to
hack either of these gentlemen in
their efforts to get into power.
On the hustings Mr. King has con-
vinced the people in all the cities he
has visited that a Liberal administra-
tion is the only one 'fit to be ,entrust-
ed with the country's future. Men
of all shades of former opinion are
realizing that in the policy laid down
by the Liberal Leader is Canada's
only hope of escaping from the
"slough of despond" into which ten
years of Tory bungling has plunged
her, and that the policy of the Lib-
eral Leader is the only one which will
ensure fair treatment to all men and
all classes.
The cry "it is time for a change"
is being hearth on all sides, and to
that, sentence is now being added the
thought "it is time for a chane to
Liberalism."
• • •
Canada has suffered a distinct loss,
as has Liberalism particularly, in the
demise of Lady Laurier during the
week. As the nation was staggered
by the death of Sir Wilfrid in the
tirne when his wise council was an
sorely needed, so this week the coun-
try sorrowed at the death of the dear
lady whose wise councils and inspir-
ing help meant so much to the Old
Chieftain during his half century of
public life. This week parties have
been forgotten as Canadians of every
shade of political opinion have striv-
en, by words and by other methods
of expression, to show how deep was
the sorrow of .the entire Dominion
at her going. 'Royalty and little chil-
dren vied in attempting to express a
regret too deep for mere words; a
regret tempered only by the thought
that the two great Liberals, who have
been looked up to for half a century,
are now undivided in death as they
were in life. It is to be regretted
that Lady Laurier could not have been
spared for another month or so that
she could again have seen the party
of her illustrious husband in power.
• • •
Hon. W. L. Mackenzie King, the
Liberal Leader, travelled from St.
Thomas, where he had been address-
ing a meeting on Thursday night, to
Ottawa to attend Lady Laurier's fun-
eral and on Friday night returned to
London where he had arranged to
speak.
Soreat was the demand from the
people of Ontario for a chance to
hear the Liberal Leader outline his
policies that they would not listen to
a suggestion that he forego one of the
meetings to attend the funeral and
then return to London or St. Thomas
later, so arrangements were made
whereby Mr. King could reach Ot-
tewa in time for the funeral and then
return to London immediately after-
ward.
• •
By his frank and fearless exposi-
tion of the problems of the day Mr.
King continues to win friends for
himself and for Liberalism. In On-
tario as in the '.Maritime Provinces he
has laid down the principle of tariff
revenue in the interests of producers
and consumers alike. While Mr.
Meighen in Ontario and Mr. Crerar
in Prince Edward Island have been
having their own troubles with pen-
ple in their audiences who questioned
some of the extreme statements they
made, the Liberal chieftain has gone
along without an interruption. His'
capable denunciation of the extrava- G
gance and double -shuffling on the part h
of the government and his exposure t
of the scandals behind Messrs.
Meighen and Guthrie's latest shell
purchases, have made people stop and
ask themselves what manner of Gov-
ernment they had alloyed to hold
office during recent years, and decide
that Mr. Meighen's days in office are
numbered.

The Government is making a very
belated attempt to pose as the friend
of Labour by appointing a railway
man, Calvin Lawrence, to the vacan
seat on the Railway Ce mnission
But the move is too plainly apparen
as a campaign bait to lulyor to be
swallowed as the government hoped it
would. It is also promising again to
put a railway man on the Canadian
National Board of 'Management, but
since the same two-year=old promise
of Sir Robert Borden has not yet
been carried out, labour men will
easily see how much chance there is
of this one being fulfilled. The two
are quite apparently an attempt to
swing to a few Railway votes, which,
however, are not showing any signs
of being swung as the government
hoped they would.
Next week will see the Liberal
Chieftain started on bis tour of the
West. Another lie of the Govern-
ment's Ottawa propaganda bureau
has been nailed since the announce-
ment of Mr. King's itinerary: While
the Meighen' press agents sought to
tell the people that Mr. King was
"running away" from the fight in
Ontario and the Welt, it is signifi-
cant to note that after a series of
most successful Ontario meetings.
Mr. King is about to start on a
schedule which will take him to every
important point from Winnipeg to
Vancouver. He has a series of over
twenty meetings in the West during
the next three weeks, which gives
the lie direct to the eMheighen stories.
Then the final ten days of the cam-
paign will be spent in a whirlwind
drive of Ontario and 'Quebec cities
where the Liberal LOaidiI i'dlll put
the finishing touches to his -campaign
and make certain the victory. That
it will be a victory on December 6th
O certain from all indications to
hand now. All that is needed is for
theLiberals all over Canada to con-
tinue the good work they are now
doing, and to leave nothing undone
which will mean the bringing in of
every last vote that Can be secured
for the Liberal candidates.

WHEN WILL TEA DRIkJKING
BE A CRIME,'
To the 'Editor of The Expositor:
I notice by your issue of the 4th
that Sir James Cantile, famous Eng-
lish physician, is reported by the New
York Medical Journal to class To-
bacco, Tea, Coffee and Alcohol as
four social poisons.
Tobacco, the last of the four to be
introduced, he says, may cause trou-
ble now and' then, and he specially
denounces the cigarette habit. To-
bacco, he said, was the least danger-
ous of these poisons, and Tea the
most harmful.
One time, and not beyond the mem-
ory of some of us, alcohol baa a
sacred member of nearly every home
and was classed as a good creature
of God by some of the worthy fathers.
Enquiring into its eceets and dire
results has placed it where it now
is—an outlaw with us and soon will
be thus classed throughout the whole
civilized world
The other t ee social poisons he
speaks of must receive the treatment
alcohol has gotten before they can be
abolished. The most harmful of
these, he says, is tea, and it would
hardly do for an aspirant in the com-
ing election contest, "since women
have gotten the vote," for him to de-
nounce it.
Even without any such aspirations
I suppose I had better go easy. How-
ever, in our Dominion of Canada we
know that no social gathering would
be of ary account without it. The
tea cup must be read, of course, and
this gives oecasion for an extra cup
of the hilarious.
Many of the ailments that exist
may be due to the use of this poison;
still even a practising physician dare
hardly suggest this to a patient.
Sir James Cantile seems to dare
the evil one and comes nut straight.
.I suppose our grandmothers would
call him a crank, which is a most
fitting epithet for so worthy a being.
The beginners of all good movements
were called cranks. The starters of
the Temperance agitation were thus
described. but they fulfilled their func-
tion and kept on moving until it is an
easy matter now for the old flywheel
10 keep in motion. So I suppose the
social poisons referred to can now
discern their future.

PIROTECTiON OF PLANTS FOR
WINTER
A little protection will often bring
plants safely through the he wirater,
when, if they are left exposed, they
may either be killed outright or h'ad-
ly injured and, in the case of fruit,
the crop may be much reduced. Plants
are also protected from mice in win-
ter. The plants usually protec•te 1
from the weather are strawberries,
raspberries, grapes and roses.
It has been found by experience
that, although strawberries will often
go safely through the winter withent
being mulched, there are winters
when it pays well In have the plants
protected by a sight mulch as in such
winters if the mulch 0 not there the
plants will be killed. In mulching
strawberries the plan is to wait until
hard frost. or just before winter sets
in. and then spread a light covering
of loose straw over the plants- All
that is necessary in most [Laces 0
enough to prevent sudden thawing
and freezing, or just enough to cover,
the plants. A thick mulch may do
more harm than good. The cleaner
the straw the less work there will be
in eradicating weeds next summer.
Marsh hay. where it can be obtained,
is good as it is comparatively free of
word seeds, and it will not lir too
;,,mn:artly „ver the plants.
Where raspberries are injurrd in
the winter_ they will hr much protect-
ed and will, taking Inc year with
;another, entre through much better
if the cranes are bent over just hefore
winter sets in and the tips held down
with soil. The snow- will cover them
sooner than if they are nothent. down.
Where there is very little snow and
the winters are very void it has been
found desirable entirely to rover the
canes with soil.
Except. in distriets where the grape
can be grown commercially, it is
necessary to protect the vines in en-
sure a crop. A few days before the
ground is expected to freeze up, the
vines, having been previously pruned,
are bent down and covered with soil,
which is left on until the following
May as it is spring frosts which may
cause the loss of the crap.
Roses must be protected in meat
places in 'Canada to help ensure their
coming through the winter alive, and
protection is not always *uccesefal.
The most reliable method of prattle- .
tion is to cover, the plant with Boll.Where tlais is not
the bele of it st piellt a be m
