Mr. Hepburn Was Right Most reasonable people, regardless of their political leanings, will agree that Mr. Hepburn was right in re- fusing an acclamation seat in East Kent. Mr. Hepburn is not a resident of the 'Kent riding, nor is he., a rate- payer. Nee have we ever heard that he has been invited by the electors of that riding to contest the seat in the interests of any party. INoeloubt, under -the circumstances, he might easily be looked upon as an acceptable candidate and again he might not. If the people of East 'Kent are like the electors in most other ridings in Ontario, it is only •reasoneble to sup- pose that they. would prefer t.o have one of their own citizens represent • them in the Legislature. That they • might, in fact, resent the ,implication that they lacked the ability for self - representation. ' -4'he issue, of course, primarily con. earns the people of East Kent. But even if theywere unanimous in the Uoice of Mr. 'Hepburn, his acceptance of the nomination would not be look- ed upon with favor by a large sec- tion of the rest of Ontario, particu,- larly at this time and under present eonditions. The people of Ontario. are more in- terested in government at this time than, perhaps, they have ever been. An interest. .that has been forced up - them by the excessive and ever increasing taxation. They want a public discussion of public affairs and an acclamation ac- corded Mr. Hepburn would he like slipping him into the Legislature by the side door. 'It was a gracious. even a generous jesture on the part of Premier Henry to offer Mr. Hepburn the seat With- out opposition, but it is easy to be either gracious or generous with other people's property, and we nee- er knew that the riding of East Kent belonged to Mr. Henry, the Conserva- tive party, or anyone else but the electors of Kent themselves. If the-i-OVainement policy of Mr. Henry has been the wonderful thing for the people of Ontario that he and his ministers claim for it. he should have no trouble in either securing or electing a candidate from his own party in Kent. That, however, is the rub. The -People Jo not see eye to eye with Mr.*Henry, he ministers and 'his policy and the gap is widening every day. Under these (circumstances is it' any wonder that the Premier would like to get over a by-election with as little fuss and as ereach silence at.4 possibleet. But it won't go down. The people have become inquisitive. They want to know things, as for instance! Why has the public debt of Ontario been doubled in the past tenyearn and what became of the money? Are We in for an Old Time Winter ? One really can't do meth about the weather. Of course we have our Weather man, our Indians, our old timers, OUT aetranom;ers, and even a few just plain liars 'who would like one to believe that they know all about it, and foretell what is to be with uncanny certainty. But can they? Take this year for instance. Early this fall the wise - men told us that because of the lack of water. the lack of beech nuts, the -lack of this and the abun.dartee of that, that we were going to have a mild, open winter, warm weather and no snow. They were quite positive of that. And then came the snow. It is still earning. In fact we have so much that the government plows have bad to mime out ,and clear the high- ways, and the concession roads are filling fast. All this by the middle of Noverne bens It looks like an old-fashioned wieder, deestet it? Are old fashions in Winters, like old fashions in hats, coming into style again? If they are they will bring many of what are now looked upon as old fashioned things along in their train. 'he old fashioned horse and cutter; the sleigh box with boards across for eeats and their loads of imuflited pas- eengera. Far Mats, fur hats and fur mitts wilt be !gem again. AM woollen Maniere, Watrilen stocke and woollen niedarelieltlite Will be in &match te. • is GO ifilitg since we have had a real old tante- winker that the older people will have to readjust thein - selves and the younger ones Will have to learn many rew things. The school eitls will have to wear clothes and the boys learn to wear more of the same, and 'both may have to learn to furnish their own arouse- ment and most of that art home. 'And people will -become better ac- quainted with their meighbors, be- cause the field of travel will be lim- ited; very limited indeed. The near- est city may be only twenty or thirty miles away, but that is a long way with a horse and cutter. There and back. No more running into town or out of town to see what is going on; to walk about or window shop. When one moves about in an eId-time win- ter, one moves with e purpose. The purpose to buy or the purpose to sell. Both would be good for busi- riess and business needs a lot of en- couragement these days. That is with apologies to the gas business, of course. In fact, an old-time winter might help lift the depression. Who can tell? At any rate it may have the opportunity of trying, because at the present thine it looks very much as if we were in for a real old-fashioned Winter. SEEING ENGLAND (Continued from page 1) The rightehend drive is quite easy once you get onto it, though Mary always reaches for the window crank instead of the gears, Following the Great North Road, we came first to Carrubridge„. the seat of the famous University with the famous "backs" on the Cahn River. King's College Chapel was a beauti- ful place with unusually fine stained- glass windows. and a fan-eaulted cell- ang. The repeated Tudor emblem, the rose, reminds us of its origin; the chapel was built out- ef the priv- ate funds of Henry VII. Not far from 'Cambridge is Grouchester, Im- mortalized by Rupert Brooke. Then On to Ey where we had two rather unique experiences. First, we felt the wrath of "Lily"; then while wait- ing repairs, from. the garret of 'a sort of antique shop, we had a most wonderful view of the twin towers of Ely _Cathedral. Lovely! With the evening still young, on we 'went to Peterborough, where we spent the night at "The Angel Hotel." What's in a name. eh, what? Petorborough also has ,its cathedral, a very im- posin,g structure. but 'massive, not finely chiselled like Ely. About eleven o'clock we were in Lincoln and were overjoyed to reach the -Cathedral in time for' part of the service. As it Was Sunday and we had been driving through such charming little English towns and villages, I think the spirit of the cathedral caught us. The flat, level fenlends are like an avenue leading to the city, proudly athwart a hill. remember the hill eerywell, for we had to clirdb it, up and up, lin. order to reach the cathedral. You Must understand that hill climbing is not one of "Lily's" long suits, so that we west humour her and speak sweet nothings. It. really was only. twenty-four hours since we left Lon- don. but it seemed infinitely remote. That's the beauty of. Eng•land. Is it a dream? I'd lov'e' to live in -a real cathedral city, I &Wen wonder if people who do dwell under its .sha- dows are always aware of its pres- ence or if they, toe are caught up in the'great bustle of life and:forget. Sunday afternooh I think I walked just a few irches off the common clod into York, the Queen of English cit- ies. Last summer I was hitterls; data anpointed at not being able to reach York, for it is a place one longs to, vidt. T knew I would find York- rninster. 'perhaps a few old 'Roma relics, but beyond that I didn't know what to expect. It was such a chaem- ing old historic place. Ca'sar himself might have appeared" and have been right at home. For a long time we had been looking for the great North- ern Wall, so we call every stone fence now "a Raman wall." Mr. Morton says the glory of York Minster is the, glore of its glass. Standing be- fore the "Five Sisters' Window" you would think its tender mellow light would shine over the world. There were three other memories of York Minster that will always go with me, the two magnificent towers where "Great Peter" booms out the passing qf the hours, the. exquisitely fine choir screen, and the Lady .Cha-pel. Tt was Evensong and I thought of the poet's linen: "The music in my heart 'I bore, Long after it was heard no mere." For supper 'we were in a quaint English garden, just now ablaze with col•our. But thetwas not the end of a. ,perfect day! 'As the evenings are so long. we 'decided to drive until it was dark. Foolish virgins! On we went, past Durham., the hoene, of the Cathedral and the Castle, past Stockton. where we discovered the rernainrs of that once famous railway engine, past Newcastle, a dirty, smelly, musty place, which is welcome to its coal and its shipyards. Here we did have a unique experience. The half dezen neaps we had didn't seem adequate, so we inquired of the keeper af the toll gate over the Tyne; "which way." For the space of seven minutes he rtandertooketo explain to five straying women "which way," with a proces- sion of tram cars and meters piling up ,behterel US, all ringing and honk- ing in wild confusion. Before we had gone three miles we were hoPe- lessly fumbling around for a place called "Ponteeland" On we drove,. and Still on into this marvellous twi- light, until we realized with awful suddenness that we were going over -moorland country, up dreadful hills and into remote valleys, with no town or hamlet 4o greet us for 40 „miles. it looked like the fields for us that night and we began to take stork of 'the amenable beddiree. Ultimately we reached "The Percy Arms Ho - tell" at Otterburn, close to the„Scot- tish 'border at 12.45 a.rn. A vision • NOVEMBER 17, 1933.
