life _spoke upon the subject briefly.
The joke is that Mr.. Guthrie would
not if he were in power to -morrow
abolish atonce the sales tax upon
either of these commodities. The' ob-
Jett of bringing forward such a reso-
lution is to place the Government in
the position of voting against a re-
duction in taxes. Then when an elec.-
don-comes on the Rt. Hon. Gentleman
Can go on the platform and say, "We
tried to reduce your taxes but the
Government would not let us." Such
is politics as it is played.
Then E. J, Garland, U.F.A. Member
from Bow River, took a hand in the
game. He moved a resolution in ex-
actly the same words as Mr. Guthrie
only remaking it applicable to the
tariff. Vere, too, the object was po-
Iitfeal. 'Even Indepen.dent>s, II ' F.. A.,
Labour, or any other variety can pray
politics. The o ect was . to embar-
rass the Libels by mating. them
vote against tariff reductions. Yet,
if Mr. Garland were Minister of Fin-
ance to -morrow he would not remove
by a stroke of the pen all duties up-
on boots, shoes and clothing. It
would be a foolish mistake to single
out one line of manufactured goods
and make it free of duty while leav-
ing all others on top lofty pinacles
of protection. No, that was not the
idea of the Resolution—it was a shot
of party politics—from pure froth—
these things are the foam of politics.
Of course, no party is free from it.
The Liberals tried the same thing last
year and the Progressives called it
"chaff." This year the "Progs" tried
the same trick. It is not in parties
—it lies in the human equation itself.
Georgian Bay Canal.
The storms over the Georgian Bay
Canal proposition continue. Dunning
outlined the matter clearly when he
said: "This is a struggle between
different power interests -4t is not a
transportation question." Certainly

The, Government has swallowed al -
Most in toto the claims of the Mari-
time people • as revealed 3n the Dun-
can Report. Never before was such
a' report presented by any Commis-
sion. The Commission worked. with-
out coup cl--no one argued the claims
of the people of Canada; the Maritime
people will now weep briny tears as
they think of the solemn fact that
they might have asked for more but
dad not do so. They are to have
larger money grants (subjeet to a
conference with the other Provinces).
Coking plants are to be established.
The cut in freight rates will be giv-
en. Their harbors are to be enlarg-
ed and improved. The railways in.
Prince - Edward Island will have bet-
ter grades, etc., etc. It will do no
good. No nation ever got rich by
having bounties poured on it. Con-
ditions in the Maritimes are improv-
ing. People down there may think
that the Ottawa Father Bountiful is
responsible. It is not so—their sal-
vation, when it comes will the from
their own effort. '
The Cost.
What will it cost? That is im-
portant but difficult to answer. We
will probably pay in extras to our
Maritime friends as much, as capital-
ized would pay our National debt ;n
the next fifty years. Still if it re-
moves this old sore it is worth while.
It may be peace at a price, but peace
at any rate is better than an endur-
ing conflict of bitterness.
M
Reciprocity.
There was one very fine touch in
the summing up of the situation by
W. L. Mackenzie King. He pointed
out that the report had advised an
approach to the United States in an
endeavor to secure reciprocity and
intimated that this was now and al-
ways had been a plank in the Liberal
platform. It was the defeat of Reci-
procity in 1911 -which has brought
about the difficulty we face in this
connection to -day. Chickens come
home to roost. Whatsoever ye sow,
chat shall ye also reap. It is inter-
esting to speculate on the change
that might have taken place in Can-
ada had Reciprocity passed, but it did
not—so in many ways the price of
our folly must be paid.
The End in Sight.
There is prospect of an early ad-
journment. This will not be a long
session. There is some talk of finish-
ing by Easter, but the first of May
looks more likely. The Old Age
Pension Bill has gone over to the in-
corrigible Senate for consideration.
The Farm Loan Bill is plodding its
way through the Commons. Th e
chances are good for the farmer mem-
bers to get back to the land in time
to see the greening fields of spring

SECRETARY SEAFORTH, CANADA
BOARD OF TRADE, AND
BRIDE ARE VISITORS
Under above heading a Savannah,
Georgia, paper says:
"Frederick G. Neelin, Secretary of
the Board of Trade of Seaforth, Ont.,
and Mrs. Neelin are visitors in Sa-
vannah to -day. They called at the
Savannah Board of Trade this morn-
ing and saw Thomas Purse, the secre-
tary.
Many changes have occurred in
Savannah since Mr. Neelin was
here last—for he has been here be-
fore. Mr. Neelin himself has chang-
ed some since his last visit—he is
some older and he has changed his.
vocation. Mr. Neelin came to Savan-
nah in 1873 when he was a newspaper
reporter. He working on a paper in
Jacksonville at the time.
The visit of Mr. Neelin at this
bine is for rest and recreation as
well as to—ah, here's the secret—
complete an enjoyable wedding trip.
Yes, Mr. and Mrs. Neelin were mar-
ried in Ontario last month just prior
to coming to the United States. They
have since been travelling southward
C by leisurely stages. They will, in a
few days, continue on southward to
Florida.
The length of Mr. and Mrs. Neelin's
stay here is uncertain. Mr. Neelin
says he has become attached to
Savannah and may spend several days
here visiting the places of interest.
Upon the marriage of Mr. and Mrs
1'eelin hangs a story. About the
time they were to be married a heavy
sno`ws'torm. occurred. They had to
ride several miles to the ehureh in a

W. Elliott's car was:;(*ow stalled on

which necessitated a ;mourn to Sea -

Club at the Commereistl Hotel, where
it was our good, fortune to listen to
a masterful address' given by Mr.
Thomas McMillan, M.P.,:.!South Huron.
It was a finished epitome of Canadian
nation futurity and thy'soulful con-
sensus of God-given homelife tending
toward our national greatness. Dur-
ing our reportorial experience of
listening to public speeches we can-
didly aver "there was none better."
It evidenced the genius 'of a master
thinker. Mr. John Malone's reminis-
cences of old McKiIlop days reflected
his ability as a reconteur. The nup-
tial trip to Bayfield was marl., possible
in Mr. W. Crich's snowmgbilc. Thanks

THE WHEAT POOL
The organization of the wheat pool
is progressing very favorable in the
western part of the 'province. R. J.
McMillan is organizing Huron Coun-
ty. The farmers in the three west-
ern provinces speak very highly of
the benefits they receive through the
pool operations, as the pool managers
have been able to stabilize the price
of wheat. Changing conditions are
coming slowly but surely, and the
farmers in the near future will mar-
ket their own products, a thing they
should have begun to do long ago.
The township of Tuckersmith will
sign up over 75 per cent: of those
that grow wheat, and it is in the in-
terests of the farmers to sign the
contract and help to make- the Pool
a success.
There is no doubt the farmers will
he able to get a better price for wheat
througth pooling the grain and having
only one sales agency to sell wheat
in Canada. Farmers have nothing to
loose by signing a contract. Mr. Mc-
Millan has between 25 and 30 can-
vassers at work in Huron County.—

THE COUNTY OF HURON
(Written by G. A. Newton, 251 Dovercourt Road, Toronto)
The County of Huron, we're all proud to say,
Has turned out the noblest men of our day;
A num.ber from Huron have "Sir" to their name,
And others have climbed up the ladder of fame.
The old county town produced nien of renown—
Messrs. Robertson, Cameron, I'roudfoot and Ross,
Also Garrow and Beck, who ran neck and neck,
You hardly could telich of them was the "boss."
The higaest positions that Canada gives,
Are filled by men who in Huron lived;
In the army are generals, in Parliament. men
When election is over may be premier then.
The County of Huron, we are happy to state,
Is going ahead at a very good rate,
And with the inducements that Huron can give,
'1 here is no place in Canada better to live.
When 1 went to that county, I was hut a lad,
'Twas hard then to get. there, the roads were so had;
Vide "staged" it from St rat ford wit h a man caio•u \Varner,
And stopped at a place then called Rattenhury Corner.
It was then but a hamlet at that time, you know,
But in a few years you chnuld s(:e that. place grow;
It soon got to be quite a place of renown,
So they called the place Clinton --that's Bob Holmes' Town.
There are several more towns in that county that thrive__
There are Hayfield and btru:“,el:, and Wingham and Blyth:
They all had their heroes and were delighted to own
Such as Stanhury, Doc. Graham, McDonald and Sloan.
There's the 111r1 Town ,,f Wingham, it's suro no disgrace
To tell any person you came from that. place,
For the citizens there fairly "boost" their own town
And so Ing as they do it. it will never go down.
There are people in Wingham, we must. admit,
Who are fit fur positions they may never get;
There are Vanst.one and Spotton, who are still nn the shelf,
.1. A. Marton, W. Holmes (and 1 lived there myself).
There's the Village of Blyth, that industrial hive,
The people who lived there just. made the place thrive
For there were men at the head of affairs like McNally,
McKinnon, Doc. Milne, the Sloans and Pat Kelly.
Then there's Exeter Town that 1 know little about,
But it must. he a gond place by bhe men they turn out;
For Cohbledick, ('rocker and Hodgson, we own,
Could make a real place of any old to en.
They talk of big men that we have in the land,
But Goderich can boast. of what none other can,
They had the biggest, the tallest, the smallest in sight,
Jonathan Miller, W. Murray and Joseph J. Wright.
Did we not mention Seaforth, it would not be fair,
For many a prominent man came from there;
Such as Govenlock, Wilson, .Sjtt, Prendergtest, Gray,
Who've made the place famou in many a way.
The soil of the county is the very best,
It has been tried every way and stood every test,
For all kinds of grain and other things grow;
And its apples are famous wherever they go.
There were farmers up there whom we knew very well,
John McMillan, Joe Fisher, and Humphrey Snell;
They were breeders of horses, pigs, cattle and sheep,
And none but the very best kind would they keep.
There's a spot in that connt?r, it's dear to me yet,
There are friends in that village Pll never forget,
I lived there for years, so I know the place thorough,
The place I 'refer to is little Londesborough.
The County of Huron, no matter what's said,
Is the best in the Province, the others seem dead;
The Huron old ,bays and girls, we declare,
Who live ie Toronto are prou-they're frrtm there.
Now, friends of old 'Toren, t think I are through,
With these rambling remake I ice even to lmul. ,'
