Monday Is Election Dap Monday next, October 14, is elec- tion day. And whdt an election, or rather, what an opportunity of choice the Canadian voter will have in it. Never before in the political his- tory of Canada have there been so many candidates in the field or so many parties and groups, seeking the reins of power. The Conservatives and the Liber- als are, of course, the two leading parties, but following after are the C.C.F. and the Reconstruction Par- ties, the four having 7,84 camlidates in the field.. But in addition to these there are 108 additional candidates who claim allegiance to this and to that and the other thing, where allegiance is claimed to anything except to the person of themselves. • It is a mothly choice indeed, but the very multiciplicity of candidates, where only 245 can be elected, places a very decided responsibility on the shoulders of the .`Canadian people, because there isa possibility that the vote may be so split that no one party may have a majority and stable gov- ernment can not be maintained when one party is forced to dicker with axother party or group for its sup- port in order to stay in power. At the last election in 1930, Mr. Bennett received an emphatic man- date to govern. No Canadian Pre- mier has ever entered into power with a greater proportion* of the country behind him. But with the remembrance of the last five years, so freshly in the peo- ple's minds, it is scarcely likely he will be given such support again. He has new and greater and even more varied promises for the future, but his record of five years of unfulfilled promises is still with him, and, as we say, still fresh in the people's minds. Will the choice then fall on Mr. King, the leader of the only other old and tried political party? Mr. King is not a promiser, but his records of government when in office before, have always spelled prosperity, par- ticularly to rural Canada, and rural Canada has not had much butter on its bread for the past five years. That is why the political prophets view him as the next Canadian Pre- mier. But while political prophets are not always wise. and elections are most uncertain things, it must be admitted he should find the least opposition in the coming battle. The major fight, at least, will to between the two old parties. No one, not even their most enthusiastic fol- lowers, are claiming for either Mr. Woodsworth or Mr. Stevens, a suf- ficient following in the next House for either or both, if that were pos- sible, to govern the country, or even hold a balance of power. Both, of course, will detach votes from the two old parties, and with the other clicks and clans and discon- tents, .may form a group in the House that will prevent either a Lib- eral or Conservative Government carrying on with any hope of suc- cess to themselves or benefit to the country. That, in fact, constitates their greatest danger. But it never will come to the danger mark if the Can- adian voter permits himself to in- dulge in a little quiet thinking. To realize that every vote cast for these, this and that candidate, is A vote thrown away. To realize that even When that stamp of candidate is elected, he fulfils no part in the gov- ernnlent of the country, no useful part as government opposition. He is jut a nuisance and a menace to stable government, and. the constitu- ency- whith sends him to Parliament might InOt;'!"af veil be disfranchised, as far AS interests are concern- ed. . Mr.. evens and -the Farmers Mo t farmers in this county are awar , and a few of them very keen- ly avirare, of Hon. H. H. Stevens' method. of doing business with the defunct Richelieu Corporation, the scandal of whose operations in the export cattle business was a live top4 ic of debate at the last session of the Dominion Parliament. • This Montreal corporation, a prac- tically insolvent dummy company, and a penniless one, secured a. sub- sidy of $13,000 from Mr. Stevens, who made, the donation of public money without consulting the Minis- ter of Agriculture or any of his other colleagues. Then the company, widely adver- tising the fact that the Government was behind them, induced a great many farmers to ship cattle with: them with the result that some twen- ty shippers went bankrupt and the farmers whose cattle were shipped lost upwards of $40,000. When an investigation was insti- tuted, Mr. Stevens came out with the flat statement that he would not as- sume any responsibility for the loss- es of the farmers, and although the Government did later assume the re- sponsibility, it was against the bitter opposition of Mr. Stevens and due al- mOst entirely to the eforts of Mr. W. H. Golding, the member for South Huron, Mr. Fred Sanderson, the member for Perth', and one or two Other members, whose farming con- stituents had been victimized by the Richelieu Corporation. In commenting on this Montreal company which Mr. Stevens subsid- ized with the people's money and his conduct in doing so, the Financial Post of Toronto says: "If Mr. Weir (the Minister of Agriculture) were not bound by the traditions of Cab- inet Solidarity and had been permit- ted to, speak his mind on this trans- action, the rafters of the Parliament Buildings would have trembled from the force of his criticism. "The net result of the transaction is that Government funds were paid out in the form of a subsidy to a perfectly worthless corporation and that as a result of the endorsation thus given by the Government, farm- ers were induced to put their necks in a financial noose that was then drawn tightly. "By the conduct of his enquiry, Mr. Stevens has shown all along that he has little practical business sense. The publication of the facts of the Richelieu affair comes at an unfor- tunate time for him.” A most unfortunate time. But still that is the same Mr. Stevens, whose two candidates in Huron are asking for him the support of the farmers of this county. Add to this Mr. Stevens' oft declar- ed and undying principles of high protection—privilege for the few at the expense of the many—will the farmers fall for him and his new promises, many and varied as they are? Is it likely that Mr. Stevens' politi- cal history of contempt for the farm- er, and all that farming represents, will be So soon forgotten and so eas- ily forgiven? We believe that the result of the polis at the election on Monday next, will show just what the farmer really does think of Mr. Stevens, his party and his promises. And that it will not be a very promising showing either. • Just One Tree The town auithorities, or some one in authority in the ,town, last week authorized the cutting down of a beautiful, large maple tree, that us- ed to stand on the street—or was it on a lawn—not half a block from Main Street. Just one tree. But what a differ- ence that one maple tree has made in the appearance of Goderich Street, at that end. No! We didn't say improvement, unless you a!s a citizen, or you, as a motorist, going through, are of the opinion that the complete' exposure of an honest, but old and dilapidated frame_ building of considerable size; the bringing into prominence of three large transformers on a rough platform, and a clear view of var- ious back yards, barns and other out buildings, add more to the beauty of a street, than the large green maple tree that formerly Aid them.

This was the author, the man whose article on a vieitt to his home touched the hearts' of home lovers from one end of Canada to the other. And to my eyes, as I tanned the cover aver, there came the sentence: "1 was born near the village of Gorrie, in the Township of Howick in the County of Huron, in the Prov- ince of Ontario."

Jeremiah when quite young re- ceived a direct call from God as re - carded in chapter I in the ,following words: "I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations. Then said I, Ah, Lord God! 'beheld, I anntot speak: for I am a child. Bu the Lord said unto are, Say not I m a child: for thou shalt go to all t at I shall Send thee, and, whatsoever command thee thou shalt speak. Be not afraid of their faces: fax I am h thee to de- liver thee, ssith the Lo In to-dayS lesson we see Jeremiah, true to his commission lam ing bit- terly over the sins of the Jos; he points them out in all their glaring hideousness and Iprophesies punish- ment and ruin. His grief is' seen in these words: "Oh, that my head were waters, and, mine eyes a fountain of tears, that I might weep day and night for the slain of the daughter of my peaple." He sets forth the na- , tare of their sins—treachery and' ly- ing to such an ex -tent that he longs 7) get, away from it all, preferring time cernpany of wild beasts of the I 'sen to that of his sinful .fellow- men. proceeding as they do from evil E.:V: because they have forgotten ' Gal Sz, low in the moral scale had -.bey fal:en that the prophet declares =hey -weary themselves to commit, harboring it in their very Having then spoken out as eerieseareied hy God, he tells them God enneares He will visit thern and be rasereeed upon them for their iniquit- , eta lne bens as individuals and as a natete. Again the ;prophet is moved e. weeping and wailing when he -'anks upon .the land being laid waste by invading hosts., Jerusalem de- etrsyed, and the cities of Judah de- serted—left without an inhabitant. Jeremiah 26:8 -15. --In this chapter we see the prophet standing in , the berae of the bord in Jerusalem, in obedience to God's command proclaim - leg al] the words he was commanded to speaka-"diminish not a word: if so be they will hearken, and turn every man from his evil way, that I may repent me of the evil, which I pur- psse to do unto them because of the evil of their doings." We next see the effect his words had upon the assembled people. In- stead of bringing deep repentance it turned them against him. They de- clared that meth speaking made him net fit to live—"Thou shalt surely die." They went further than that, f'?r they made representation to the authorities against him, saying: Thie man is worthy to die, for he hath prophesied against this city, as ye have heard with your ears." Remembering his call and hie corn- minsion, Jeremiah did notquail be- fore either princes en- pebplet, .but epoke out ;saying; "The Lord seht the to prophecy against this house and against this city' all the words; that ye have heard." Being steeped in the sin ef deceit and lying, they could not believe the words of an honest fellow -man. They questioned his authority; but he affirmed his pos- ition in his closing wends; "For of a t-rath, the Lbrd hath sent me unto you to speak all these words in our ears." Having announced his warrant, he called upon the people, garyin,g: "Therefore now amend your warn and year &rings, and' Obey (the voice of the Lend your God, and the ;Lord' will re- pent Him of the evil that He hath pron'ouneed against you."

But know ye for certain, that if ye put me to death, ye shall surely bring innocent blolod upon yatroselves, and upon this city, and upon the inhabitants there - The Religious Encyclopaedia says • in reference to Jereiniah.'a attitude to wardls the sins of the people: "The recollection .of his efficial responeibili ties was in hie, heart as a burning fire shut up in his bones. Everyone was against him.

Yeu either fold up and quit, spending your time complaining a- bout the Government, and live on its relief, or you get busy and rustle. "Some people, I think, find a real adventure in making the best of a bad situation. Recently I ate a meal with a family which was doing just that The meal was some delicious rabbit that the boy of the house had shot; the potatoes and turnips were grown in the garden; the bread was inade from flour that had been traded for wheat at the local elevator. There was no sugar to go with the coffee which was made from roasted wheat, but that deficiency was more than made up by plenty of rich cream from the farm cows. The dessert consist- ed of syrup ev'hich they proudly told me had been mrade at home from su- gar beets. This year they are grow- ing mere beets in order to make sure that the supply of syrup will Jast throughout the year. The whole Oost of the mewl in actual cash ars near as I could gather was the price of one .22 shell. "Incideatally thee little .22 cart- ridges were a life-saver to many peo- ple in that bardehit community. The skins of the lowly Ted squirrel hit an unprecedented high of fifteen cenrbs apiece.

Slane of the heartrading stores did land- office businesses he the hides of these noisy little fellovvs. One merchant stopped 'faking in terms of squirrels or hundred of squirrels, but began dealing in thousanels. "Muskrats in their seaston, too, came in for their share of. changing their coats for groceries.

"Are the good old days ofsiolitice over?" "Well," he smiled at my question, "they have been rather dormant dur- ing the past fen. years . . . how- ever . . ." That single word, "however," seem- ed rife with meaning. "And what dlo you think of Ben- nett's dictatorial attitude?" The fighting fire was roused.

It was he who pointed out to me, the significance of that slogan, "Vote for Bennett." It means that he holds the strange holdi on the Conservative partly. He is rapidly assuming the attitude of this, new crop 'of dicta- tors that is springing up throughout the world. "The trouble with this business," said Mr. Deachman, "is that it breaks ,+vith democracy. There is t'he essen- tial difference +between the tvao lead- ers. M'r. King is anchored to the democratic cenceptian of government,. Mr. Bennett is anchored—well, he's anchored to M:r. Bennett. '"Not is . this attitude confined to him alone.

Or is this same new form of "ism"? Or where now is the patty of tradition — the party which once boasted .that it held the instincts, of government?" "And your own election campaign?"' I eueried. "It is a discussion of political top- ics from the platform. I try as much as possible to divide my program in' two -parts. Darting the first half I speak. During the latter half, my udie,nce is given every opportunity to ask questions. It is all or a fifty- fifty 'basis." "And your .opporient's meelrod?" "It cannot 'be the same," said Mr. Deachman. "My opporent does not know the facts. He has never stud- ied them. A few days ago he an- nounced 'he would Note for all good legislation. Funny, isn't it? Prary, how 'does the Bennett candidate dis- tinguish betweem good and evil?" "Search me," I said, in the language of the stre,et, "or better still, let me search you." Mr. Deachnzan laeghed and reach- ed' for his bag. "Here," said he, "is the end of the search." Then I read from the newspaper reports of Mr. Spotton's nomin.ation in 1P30 his premise to support lore tariffs, his oppotion to unemploy- ment insurance, his protest against old -age penstions.
