Ontario's Decision
The' people of Ontario decided on
, 0 Tuesday last that it was time for a
'change. That the Conservative par-
ty which has governed the Province,
with only one break in 1919, for over
a quarter of a century, had ,,out-
grown its usefulness and was no
longer fulfilling the purpose for
which it had been created.
And there was no half heartedness
in the decision. The defeat., is the
mostsevere that any political party
1. has suffered in Ontario and that in
the face of a redistribution.
The causes of the landslide are
..many: and varied and have been ac•
-
cumulating with the years, the out-
standing ones, perhaps, being wan-
ton ,extravagance resulting in the
present tremendous' public debt; high
taxation; Provincial highways, hy-
dro and the strategy used by Mr.
Henry and his advisers.
From the very opening of the cam-.
paign, the Government has been on
the defensive and that defence has
been a very feeble one.
Hach Mr. Henry and his party chos-
en to be frank and open with the peo-
ple; to have said: "Like everyone
else the boom times we scattered
money right and left. But we have
renented and this is the plan we have
adopted to cut government expenses
and reduce taxation," they, might not
- have won, but at the same time they
would certainly not have sustained
• such a crushing defeat.
•But Mr. Henry chOse otherwise
and guessed wrong. He proposed to
make beer and wine the issue. But
• when the Liberal •party met him.
there, there was nothing but the 're-
cord of the Government to fall back
on and that record cpuld, in many
spots, ill afford to have daylight shed
upon it.
Any defence of it, however, would
have been better than none. Why
did not Mr. Henry make one of some
kind, instead of adopting a policy of
bluster, misrepresentation a n d
abuse?
Mr. Hepburn, Liberal leader, may
not be a Solomon yet, but he is the
most -outstanding- political -personal-
'gOr, ity since the days of Sir John a Mac-
Donald and Sir Wilfrid Laurier, and
when Mr. Henry and his Ministers
fought the campaign over him in-
stead of their record, they organized
a free advertising campaign that has
been of inestimable value to him.
It focused the attention of the peo-
ple upon Mr. Hepburn and once cen-
tered there, his campaign of carry-
-ing the fight to the enemy, of "Up
and At Them," first caught the fancy
-ofthe public and then converted them
into the belief that the only way this
Province could emerge from under
the load of debt an extravag-ant and
.iiigh-hnded Government had placed
111)011 her ehouldefs-, was through
'This, Man Hepburn."
Another tactical error which Mr.
enry conimitteed was his utter ig-
ring; excetk on one occasion of the
P.

THE,EUR, ONE

•
Bullets Waste Dollars
That is the title of .an article in. the
June number of the Canadian Na-
tional Railways Magazine, which
goes on to point out the amazing
fact that it costs the Railway $23,500
every year to replace the glass tele-
graph insulators broken by boys—
and
some old boys, too --with rifles
and catapults.
Shooting at these glass nobs is not,
a new sport. It has been a popular
pastime with one generation of boys
after another and dates back -probab-
ly to the first telegraPh line built
along the railways. .
We never realized before, however,
just what th i s carelessness or
thoughtlessness on the part of the
boys, meant to a railway company,
until we •saw the figures 'in print—
$23,500.
That figure may be a small item in
comparison with some other railway
working expenses, but it represents
a pile of money to the every day man
on the street, and to the farmer it re-
presents the price of 500 acres of
choice land in any county in Western
Ontario, and much more than the
average man accumulates after a
life time of labor. •.
Just give that a thought, boys, the
next time -you are tempted to pull a
bead on a glass insulator, while' wan-
dering • up or 'down the railway
tracks.
And parents might make some in-
quiries, too, as to what targets their
boys employ , whenusing their rifleS
'or catapults. Particularly SQ when
it is pointed out that the Canadian
National Railway is a publicly own-
ed system, and that the expenses of
running it come out of their pockets
and not out of the C. N. R.
WHAT OTHER PAPERS SAY.
• MILLIONS, IN U. S. AGREE
(Clinton News -Record)
iBritain paid over two billion dollars of her debt
to the United States and now owes more than
she did at the start, so she tells the U. S. that
she cannot- continue payments without pressing
her own debtors and that would cause world
ehaos. There are millions of people in the re-
public who see the point and always did, but
there are others who will now realize that the
debts have to 'be revised.

• ARCHBISHOP NEIL McNEIL
(Front the Canadian Baptist)
Archbishop Neil McNeil, Roman Catholic of
the Dioeese of Toronto, rests after a long life
ef noblest service. Those who knew him best
loved him most. That admiration was not con-
cfinet to the members of his own church, but in
all. communions, Catholics, Protestant and Jew-
ish, he wes held in highest esteem as a Christian
gentlernin. So it is doubtful if any Catholic
prince of that church has. been more sincerely
mourned by such widely separated types of faith
as is Archbishop McNeil.

HOW TO TELL A BOY
(Detroit Free Press) •
The- small boy'—and his mother—who may at
times despair over the cowlick in his hair which
no a'rnonnt of brushing will flatten into a semb-
lance of order shopld take heart. Dr. 15. T.
Stewart, the physical anthropologist of the
Smithsonian Institution says that the presence
of the spot where the hair grows in all direc-
tions at once, is a badge of his membership in
the human race.
Monkeys, it seems, do not have cowlicks. Or-
angutanhave hair which grows from the back

consequence thereof the risen. Saviour
was 'bout to lead away His Apostles'
from the once holy city to the bor-,
ciers of the Gentiles, to whom the
offer of salvation through Him was
now to be made.
Jesus met themthere and gave
them the great commission, "Go ye
therefore, and teach all nations, bap-
tising them'in the name of the -Father,
and of the Son, and of the Holy
Ghost."
And then lie inspired them for the
work bn, "Lo, I am with you alway,
even unto the end of the world." "He
does not send us out alone; he divides
the burden; he shares the peril; he
inspires our courage; he is at pre-
sent Captain, always in the thick of
the fight, and always so near that a
whisper may reach Him."

14 is true that Christian work can
be prosaic. Having made a challen-
ging appeal for young men to 'follow
the banner of Christ, Dick Sheppard
found a young man in his vestry ask-
ing to he given, a place in the army
of the Lord' and all the preacher
could 'ask him today was deliver a
batch. of parish, magazines; Quite so,
but even that office of a district vis-
itor, rightly interpreted, belongs to
the adventurous service of the King-
dom of God. After all, someone must
deliver those magazines, and if the
visitor- goes' as the messenger of
Christ, any door at which he knocks
may open to some unexpected oppor-
tunity. Let the magazine distributor
think o himself (or more often, her-
self) as the ambassador of God,
"Every man's work is his life -pre -
sever," said Emerson. "The convic-
nen that his everk is dear to God
and cannot be spared defends, him,"
Jesussaidthe same thing and said
it better, when He declared, "And
whosoever shall give to drink unto
one of these little ones a cup of cold
water only in the name of a diciple,
verily I say unto you, he shall in no
wise lose his reward." This includes
every kind of service for Christ—
distributing magazines in a London
parish or ;preaching the gospel in.
Africa, India or Japan.. The local
task ofthe world-wide enterprise—
they are both Of valae in the eyes
Christ. Home and foreign missions
are equally within the Scope of Gods
purpose. "The eyes of the fool are
in the ends of the earth"—true, if
they are there only. Bun if our eyes
are fastened upon our immediate
chity and then lifted .% longing finthe
land of far -distances, the far-off vis-
ion makes the neer-by task 'gloriously

that World -Wide view we gather
