HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Huron Expositor, 1929-11-08, Page 4Ira THE ELECT ON e contention of The Globe that Mora was the one wad only is - before time people of Ontario at e recent elections, the result of the sone Must have completely dem- onstrated to that paper and to the wrorld at large, that the prohibition question has not only been settled for the next four years, but for many years yet to come. We do not doubt the sincerity of The Globe and those who supported that paper in its contention that pro- hibition was the only record on which the Conservative Government was to be judged. At the same time it is now a self-evident fact that the policy adopted by that paper not only did not advance the cause of either tem- perance or prohibition, but perform- ed a service for the Conservative party in Ontario, that no money could have purchased. Premier Ferguson is an astute poli- tician. He knew that his government would never go down to defeat on a prohibition issue, because the people of Ontario had most emphatically pronounced on that issue only three years before. He was quite willing, in fact eager, to take issue with the Opposition parties in the Province on this question, to the exclusion of ali else, and in doing this The Globe proved of invaluable assistance. Every loyal Canadian should be and we 'believe is behind the temperance cause. But temperance and prohibi- tion are two very different things. Prohibition may come to this country some day, but if it is to be effective and the boon that it should be, it must come through evolution, not revolution, and to force prohibition now, in the face of the declared op- position of a very large majority of the people of the country, would be revolution, and revolution of the worst kind. There are many other questions be- sides prohibition which should have been issues in the recent campaign, which should have received equal if not greater consideration than it, be- cause the prohibition question was pronounced upon by the people of this province only three years ago. There was the question of the Ferguson Government's educational policy, its tremendous expenditures, the ever in- creasing taxation, and its Hydro pol- icy to name only a few of the items in its record. And in their refusal or neglect to make these and other questions the leading issues of the campaign the opposition parties and in particular, the Liberal party, lost an opportunity that may not again be theirs for years, and through this neg- lect went down to an inglorious de- feat. There is only room for two political parties in this Province—a governing body and a united apposition, and if the Liberal party wants to aspire to either, it will, in the very immediate future, need to take stock of itself and its surroundings. It will have to abandon at once and for all time a policy of c,.mpro- mise, this policy d.f you scratch my back and I'll scratch yours. It will have to lead and not to follow; to dictate and not be dictated to. If the Liberal party is to again become the power in the land it was in the days of Mowat, to again hold the re- spect and confidence of' the people as it did then, it will have to be re- organized and rebuilt. It will have to formulate a policy the planks in the platform of which will contain in such measure the ad- vancement of the province and the people of the province as a whole, that it will command the attention and approval of the electors because of its fairness, its honestness and its .economy, and then it will have to get out and fight for this policy. Victory is not likely to come at the first trial, but it will come, and the party that goes down in a fair fight, even in defeat, may still retain the respect of its adherents and opponent, alike while the party that falls through weakness in the knees, can not com- mand the respect of either. fs Mater j i l.an ton 70, i ,a>l- I nztcal: ea, Joist?: W.hulhesr (th- ).

This is the first time the honor has come to Wingham, and is quite deserved. A few years ago a bright official sug- gested that flower beds and neatly trimmed grass plots would be more pleasing to the eye than scattered paper and empty packing cases, and offered to supply plants and bulbs to agents interested. Now a flower gar- den extends from the Atlantic to the Pacific. CHISELHURST Notes.—The ladies of the Chisel - RELIT :SG r EEN Notes.—The thankoffering services were olbserved on Sunday.
