SEAFORTH, Friday, June 21, 1935.
Mr. Hepburn Again
Mr. Hepburn is in the limelight
again. It was, of course, a very short
step for him to take to land him in
that position, but before he steps out
again, in this instance, there will be
wigs left on the green and there will
be some sore and bruised bodies—but
not his.
The Premier has had a run in with
the brokers and monied interests of
Toronto. The Province' needs money
and Mr. Hepburn asked the bond
dealers to bid on a fifteen million dol-
lar Provincial bond issue.
The bond houses said no, and in
saying it they-, were quite within their
rights. And if their refusal had been
actuated by the reason they gave—a
poor investment—no one, not even
Mr. Hepburn, could have found fault
with it.
But there is a very general impres-
sion in the country, one that has
been verified, in a measure, by bond
salesmen themselves, that the refusal
of their companies to bid, -arose not
from the investment point of view,
but from the point of view held by
the bond and money interests in To
rento, that Mr. Hepburn is entirely '
too fresh and independent a young
man.
That they and not he should dic-
tate the financial policy of the coun-
try. It formerly was that way and
it should be that way now.
And for that reason, and that rea-
son alone, t h e bond companies
chose to assert their rights and with-
hold their bids.
But in asserting their rights, we
believe the bond houses made the
mistake of believing the Toronto
view is the view of the whole Prov-
' ince. Toronto money interests have
been taking their influence and them-
selves too seriously and Mr. Hepburn
and his influence and himself, not
seriously enough.
Mr. Hepburn may be young and
his manner not always diplomatic, ,
but he has the faculty of making him-
self perfectly understood .when he
makes a statement.
And when he made the statement "
that if the bond houses and banks
were going to refuse him money, he
would get it through the medium of
the Provincial Banks, by enlarging
the present Provincial banking sys-
tem to do it, he stated a possibility
that ,must be plain to the bond com-
panies.
When van Toronto financial opin-
ion, powerft and all as it is, come to
the realization that it is only Toron-
to opinion and not that of the whole
Provirice ?
That in thwarting or attempting
to thwart the Premier at every turn,
they are only strengthening his
hand throughout the country at
large?
That no political personality since
the days of MacDonald and Laurier
has go captivated the , fancy of the
people in the country as that of Mr.
Hepburn?
And that as long as the country
opinion stays behind Mr. Hepburn,
Toronto, or any other large centre of
finance, can hold any opinion it pleas-
es, without affecting in the least Mr.
Hepburn's chances of re-election;

Xt°�u�at
measure i troduced possessing more
bold effrort ery than the amendment
to the Election Act introduced last
week.
This amendment, sponsored by Mr.
Guthrie, Minister of Justice, pro-
vides that in the forthcoming gen-
eral election, the vote in the Province
of Saskatchewan will be taken on
the alternative plan, which, among
other things, provides that:
"If no candidate has received an
absolute majority of the number of
ballots showing first preference
votes *given, including the casting
vote of the Returning Officer, if one
is given, the Returning Officer shall
forthwith proceed to a second count,
and shall exclude from the contest
the candidate who received the low-
est number of first preference votes.
"The Returning Officer shall ex-
amine all the ballot papers credited
to such excluded candidate, and shall
transfer to each of the remaining or
continuing candidates, all the 'ballot
papers in which such candidate has
been given a second preference vote,
and those ballot papers having no
second preference indicated thereon
shall be set aside as being exhaust-
ed."
The alternative voteis not new. It
has its good points and its followers,
but it cannot be said to have . been
very popular with Canadian Govern-
ments.
Why then the Bennett Govern-
ment's sudden desire to experiment
with it? Of course if such an ex-
periment as the alternative vote in -
a general election is desirable, there
could be no more desirable place—
from a government standpoint—lin
which to experiment, than in the
Province of Saskatchewan.
For be itknown, the Province of
Saskatchewan at the present time is
said not to be populated by Conserv-
atives, U.F.O.'s or A.'s or C.C.F.'s.
It is simply infested with Liberals.
It may not be possible to clean them
out,• but the alternative vote might
thin the ranks and lessen their voice.
At any rate, it would riot hurt any-
one but the Liberals, and that, from
the Government's standpoint, is a
thing to be extremely desired. The
system is complicated but that is a
small matter' considered in the light
of the complications it might create
—for the Liberals. It would appear
that if the Election Act can be twist-
ed to favor the Government, the re-
sult is much more desirable than
holding an election for the benefit of
the people.
But what is sauce for the goose
should be sauce for the gander. If
the alternative' vote is so desirable
for the Province of. Saskatchewan
that the Election Act has to be
amended at the,eleventh hour to
make provision for it, why shouM it
not be used in Ontario, or in any or ,
all of the other Provinces?
There may have been a time when
such political manouvres as the al-
ternative vote for Saskatchewan,
were considered good political tac-
tics, and there may have been a time
when a political party benefitted in
an election by them, but if there ev-
er was such a time, it has now pass-
ed. Public opinion will.not stand for
any such thing, and we wonder at
any Government having foolhardi-
ness to try it.
WHAT OTHER PAPERS SAY.
It Seems So Senseless
(Stratford Beacon -Herald)
At Reinsdorf in Germany there was an explo-
sion in a plant where explosives are manufactur-
ed. There were other explosions following. The
factory is said to have been three-quarters of a
mile long and one-quarter of a mile wide.
IHlow many were killed or injured? Under the
German system' no one seems to know... Whets
retpoeters or correspondents went to find out they
were taken in hand by the secret police and in-
forined they must ask no questions.
People leaving the pace were warned they
sliest not discuss with any person the things they
knew. That is whythere are some reports which
say that 75 were killed and otherg claim the
death list is 1,000 or more. No person'Seems to
now.
If there were a similar catastrophe in a Cana -
1 dian plant we are certain things would be at-
tended "to differently. There would be no at -
,tempt made to deny access to facts; reporters
who went about their business in a fair and legi-
timate way would have no trouble. It would, do
no good here to warn 'the people they must sae'
nothing about it. Any person with knowledge
of the event weld talk to any other person. -
s It must be a forced and unreal Sort of exist-
ence in bisalt land. There is freedom,, but; not as
we know it; there is a fear of officialdom with
wthi.ch we are not familiar and which we would
not tolerate, , The whole thing sums so sense.
3ess. i1 people have abgen killed why ehould the
news not be published?

DO YOU REMEMBER
'The all-time record ..ice and sleet
.storm of February 22, 1922? On
Sunday afternoon, the nineteenth,
there was a violent hail storm, accom-
panied by thunder and lightning, but
fortunately it did net last long, al-
though the ground was covered with
hailstones, the average size of which
were as 'big as marbles, On Monday
and Tuesday the weather was colder,
but moderated a little on Tuesday
night when a heavy rain set in, freez-
ing as it fell.
On Wednesday morning every-
thing out-of-doors w a s covered
with a coating of ice. The rain
and freezing continued throughout
Wednesdays the electric light, tele-
phone and telegraph wires and shade
trees gradually accumulating such a
heavy coat of ice, that the wires be-
gan to fall, taking the poles, in many
cases, while there was scarcely a
tree in 'Seaforth left intact.
The streets looked as if a cyclone had
passed through them. To add to the
danger and confusion, Hydro power
failed Tuesday night and the streets
were so dark on Wednesday evening
it was unsafe to venture put, owing
to the tangle of wires, branches and
trees that littered the pavements and
in very many oases extended across
the streets. On Thursday morning
the ice had all disappeared, but the
vast destruction that was apparent on
every 'hand was. almost appalling.
From Tuesday night until Saturday
evening the town was without Hydro
power or light and was practically
isolated as far as telephone or tele-
graph communication with the out-
side world was concerned. The mun-
icipal telephone systems in many cas-
es were nothing more than miles of
fallen poles and twisted wire, and
while sense party systems were soon
in order again, it was summer again
before many of the main lines were
rebuilt. The Seaforth Hydro Com-
mission had a large force of men out
all week repairing the domestic ligkit-
`ng system, and were able to furnish
light and power to local users' fifteen
minutes after the power was receiv-
ed in Seaforth Saturday afternoon.
It was the -first experience with wax
candles and lamps for many of the
rising generation.

S. S. LESSON FOR JUNE 23, 1935
Lesson Topic—Christian Missions.
Lesson Passage—Acts 1:6-8; 13.1-2.
Golden Text—Mark 16:15.
Acts 1:6-8.
The apostles had entertained the
common opinion of the Jews about
the temporal dominion of the Mes-
siah. They expected that he would
come as a prince and conqueror and
free them from the bondage of the
Romans, This expectation was check-
ed, and almost destroyed by his death,
but his return to Life roused again
these expectations when he met then
at the Mount of Olives, for could not
rine who could rise from the dead re-
store the kingdom to Israel? Their
only wonder now was would he, do it
at this time, It was this inquiry he
answered. He definitely told them as
he hacl done' previously (Matt. 24::)
that it was known' only to.the Father,
,He consoled them for this disap-
pointment by telling them they should
receive the promised guide and com-
forter. They would receive the pow,
er of speaking with new tongues; of
preaching the gospel with great ef-
fect and the power to endure- great
trials. (Mark 16:17, 18),
He told them they were to, be wit-
nesses. They had been with him con-
stantly for three years or more dur-
ing which time they had seen his
manner of life, his miracles, his meek-
ness, his sufferings; they had listen-
ed to his instructions', had conversed
and eaten with him as a friend; they
had seen him after he was risen, and
were about to see him ascend to Heav-
en; and they were qualified to bear
witness to all these things in all parts
of the 'earth.
(Barnes' Commentary).
Acts 13:1-12.
'The appearance of St. Paul upon,
the stage of Christian history marks
a period of new development and of
more enlarged .activity. The most
casual reader of the Acts of the
Apostles must see ,tha a personality
of vast power, force, individuality,
has now entered the bounds of the
church, and that henceforth his teach -
ng methods, and actioes, will 'throw
11 others into the shade. To -day's
election from St. Luke's writings to
Theapilus deals with the ordination
or special work of Barnabas and
Saul. These twa'had for a year been
ngaged •in the gospel ministry to-
ther in Antioch, As they were •en -
aged one day in divine service a
pecial revelation was given that
hese two should be designated for
he work of preaching the gospel in
egions outside of Antioch. It was
or these two it special ordination for
aul had already received his com-
ission directly from the Saviour, and
amebas had been for some time re-
ognized as a preacher by the Apos-
es. This was a designation to a
ork of mast importance; strictly a
issi'onary appointment by the church
nder the authority df the Holy
host.
The apostles having been thus corn-
iss.ioned lost no time. They at
nee departed upon their great work.
fter earnest and prolonged' religious
ervices they left their Christian bre-
ren. Their objective was the island
Cyprus which had a large Jewish
copulation and though they had been
eciaaly designated for work among
e Gentiles, they ever made the
the starting -point whence to in -

fluence the outside world. 'H sought
out the ideas or the ground common
to himself and his hearers, and then,
having found the point on which they
agreed, . he worked out from them.
This is the true method of contro-
versy. Thus they went throughout
the whole island arriving in due time
at Paphos, a city at the western end
and distinguished for a splendid tern-
ple erected to Venus who .was wor-
shipped throughout the island. Here
they came into controversial contact
with a .Jew who pretended to be a
prophet. He was attached to the
chief magistrate of the Island, who,
was a man of an intelligent and • in-
quiring turn of mind. Hearing of
Barnabas and Saul, the pro-counsuj
sent for them, being quite willing to
receive instruction from any source.
That was a professed characteristic
of many ancient philosophers. See-
ing if these new teachers were to se-
cure a foothold and thus influence the
pro -consul, Ernes in all probability
would lose his power. His interest,
therefore, led him to oppose the gos-
pel as proclaimed by Saul and Bar-
nabas. He made it his business to
withstand - them as the magicians of
Egypt, in Pharaoh's court, withstood
Moses and Aaron. He saw that the
pro -consul was inclined to believe and
receive the gospel and would thus
be removed from his influence. Saul,
being at this time filled with holy
indignation against the false doc-
trine and practices of Elymas, set his
eyes upon him and delineated his
character in no uncertain terms—"full
of all subtilty and all mischief, child
of the devil, enemy of all righteous-
ness." Then he told him God would
punish him. In all this there was the
highest evidence that Paul was un-
der the inspiration of God. He de -
looted the secret feelings and desires
of the heart of Elymas; and he in-
flicted on him a punishment that
could have proceeded from none but
God. This miracle was wrought to
confirm the right ways of the Lord,
and to show the wickedness of the
man who would not cease to pervert
them; and alto for the punishment of
his crime -'he was blind for a time.
Such a punishment was emblematical
of the darkness and perverseness of
.his conduct.
Then the deputy when he saw what
was done, believed, being astonished
at the doctrine of the Lord."—(From
The Expositor's Bible).
