Fearing For The West
-.Some disquieting news has come
down from the Western Provinces
during the past week or two. We
have heard more about drought;
there has been hail and there have
been, grasshoppers. Ontario people
again this year are beghming to fear
for the West.
But there has always been drought
in the West; always been hail; al-
ways been grasshoppers. Perhaps:
there always will be. What Ontario
people forget or have never realized
is the immense territory comprising
those Provinces which we so casual-
ly refer to as the West.
Because there has been hail at Cal-
gary; grasshoppers in some parts oi
Southern Saskatchewan and drought
in some parts of all of the Provinces,
it does not mean that the West has
been hailed out; burnt out, or eaten
out
Norfolk County suffered a severe
hail storm over the week -end that
did thousands of dollars damage to
the standing crops, but we have not
yet seen any newspaper reports to
the effect that. Ontario Crops have
been destroyed by hail. Nor are we
likely to.
In fact, there are quite a few of
us who have only a very hazy idea of
where Norfolk County really is.
Distances are like that in the West
too, only very much more so.
As a matter of fact, the most re-
liable reports coming from the West-
ern Provinces state that they will
have the best crop harvested in the
past seven years, and the Winnipeg
Free Press estimate of the wheat
crop is 300,000,000 bushels.
With a crop like that, the West
will be fairly well off this year. And
we, in Ontario, will be a good deal
better off on that account too. The
West could do better in the way of a
crop. It has done it before and will
do it again. But in the meantime,
there is not too much cause to fear
for the West. As we Say, the West
is a big country, and a great one too.

Conservatives To Choose New
Provincial Leader
The Conservative party is not go-
ing to do things by half measures.
Having chosen a new Federal lead-
er, the party is now going to do the
second most important thing, which
is to choose a new leader for the On-
tario provincial party.
At the Toronto convention last
Week Hon. Earl Rowe, ,who has led
the Provincial Conservatives for the
past two years, relinquished that
thankless position and a new leader
is to be chosen at a provincial con-
vention to be held next October.
• The ,resignation of Hon. Mr. Rowe
was not unexpected. For one thing
he was nota member of the Legisla-
ture, and absent treatment, at best,
does not get very far in the way of
prodoeing results in politics, whe-
ther they be of a Federal or Provin-
cial nature.
From the first day of his leader:
ship Mr. Rerwe's position was almost
an impossible one. He was chosen
the rank and .file of the country.
diStriets, against, the wishes of the
aik and file of TOionto and some
erlargentrest with the result
ha he was never giSen the complete
&ewe and support of the party
*We, One might even go fur-
, 0
Oat he'received a very
osition fro" large and
tattit
, t these
&SS aS.
A,
tive perso ality, had gone ahead and
been his own xratnral self, instead of
being the mouthpiece of Mr. Meighs
en and other strong, btit very unpop-
ularparty followers, the result of
the last -ProsinciaI election would
have been different
No doubt it would, and decidedly
different at that. Toronto influence,
however, had its way and the result
was aa near approaching a disaster
as any Provincial party has ever suf-
fered. It is quite evident that Mr.
Rowe realized that this evil influente
weuld always be against hire, hence
MS resignation from the party .Iead-
ership. And who can say he did not
do the right thing?
It will be the Conservative conven-
tion, of course, that will choose the
new leader in October next, and Oc-
tober next is quite some title in the
future. By that time there may be
a dark horse, like Murdoch MacPher-
son, in the Federal COnservative con-
vention, or even more than one that
.will loom up in the leadership hor-
izon, to be finally chosen by the party
• delegates.
But the possibilities are that the
leadership will either go to Hon.
Leopold MacCauley or to Col. Drew.
The latter, as a platform speaker,
has few, if any equals, but what kind
of politician he is; we have no means
of knowing, unless his break with
the party at the prbvincial election
last fall is to be taken as a guide. ,
- On the other hand, Hon. Mr. Mac-
Cauley is a very able ward politician,
but what kind Of a leader or Prime
Minister he would make, we have no
means of knowing either. He led
his party in the Legislature -daring
the last session and led it ably and
well, but he was a member of Mr.
Henry's cabinet before its downfall
in 1934, and that, in the opinion of
even many of his own party, is not
too good a recommendation.
As far as we can learn, the choice .
of either of thesek,Meheeethe one
Toronto lawyer, and the other
world traveller, lecturer and writer
—as leader of the Conservative par-
ty, will not set the heather afire in
the country constituencies, as did
the appointment of Mr. Hepburn to
the leadership of the Ontario Liberal
party. But then there is only one
Hepburn, eveh if his political oppOre
ents think that's one too many.
However, the choice of a party
leader is entirely the business of the
Conservative party, and none of
ours. We are quite prepared to ac-
cept their choice.

We Always Thought So
Mrs. Corbett Ashby, of Great Bri-
tain, speaking before the Interna-
tional Council of Women, which met
if Edinburgh recently, said:
"Women are often guilty of a cer-
tain laziness, masqueraded as mod-
esty-, which induces them to slacken
their efforts. They desire to dispel
evils of ignorance, disease, unem-
ployment and preventable misery,
but they have barely recognized as
yet that they can dispel such things
only as they work together with men
in a united enthusiasm."
We often thought something like
that, particularly about laziness.
But, on account of politeness, and,
perhaps more serious reasons, we
have refrained from mentioning it.
But mow a woman has said it, it
should, at least, be safe to agree with
her. Women will never getany-
where without men; working to-
gether with, and, of course, under
them.
If women, as a familY, would only
listen to what this sister has told
them, what a peaceful world this
would be to live in.
We don't see, however, i any need
for a united enthusiasm. Most men
have enough enthusiasm for two, one
of whom could be a woman.
Whatea team that would make—
an enthusiaticman and a wornan
not guilty of lazinese—What wonders
they cotdd accomplish together. How
pleasant it would be!

"SUN DAY COLLECTION"
Ike atodde. and Peter Tones are two
ordimuy farmers on week days. They
wear chop,soneared, beggypatched
overalls like the rest of us, chew to-
bacco and like to atop •on the Con-
cession for a chat about the weather
aed the way the army -worms are eat-
ing up the grain crop. You wouldn't
suspect that they were any different
from any Of the farmers. iaahe neigh-
borheod. But they really are! You
see, they take up tire Sunday collec-
tion.
You sense the difference when: you
meet them at caturch on Sanday. Ike
is a tall, streamlined, sort of a fellow
weth, en -Adam's apple that pets up
and dealt like a trip-hammer ixusicle
of ,a leathery neck. Peter ie a short,
stout type of a fellow inclined to
bulge. juet slightly at the waist -line.
They stand 'beside the church dome
their faces with expressions much
like the statue of the Indian down in
the park in the village. -When you
go into church they incline their
heads just 'ever so slightly.
As soon as church has started they
slip in to sit in tile back pew, turning
their eyee from the front occasional-
ly to scornfully glandat any of the
brethren who are so lair as to be late
for church. They are as sober as
church -mice.
Collection time comes, along and
they get up out of the seat, stop for
a moment and then walk up to the
front of the church. There Ike stands
up straight as a telephone eon while
Peter paddles over and picks up the
two baskets.' He comes back 'and
haada one to Ike and then they turn
and start comaig back down the aisle.

Memories Of The Nineties
In the first volume ef The Yellow
Book, that celebrated periodical of
the nineties whin& has gained a
reputation so enuoh greater and so
much baser than it deserves, there
isa drawieg by Aubrey Beardsley of
a young actress. It is a silhouette,
the full bell-shaped skirt, the slender
waist, and wide hat of nearly fifty
years ago standing out blackly from
the white page. The most remark-
able technical feature of this. drawing
is the impression of extraordinttry
height that, it conveys, in the com-
plete absence' of any objects of corn-
parisen. This actress is now ia die
United States, though she is not &.ct-
ing Cere; and at the same time she
is on the stage of the Haymarket in
London, being acted, in the person of
Miss Lilian Braithwaite, in Mr. Iyor
Novell,o's latest play, 'Comedienne."
It is ell very complicated,. "Com-
edienne': is that sort of "mixing of
fact and fiction in unknown propor-
tions" against which 'Thomas Hardy
used vigorously to protest. Donna
Lovelace, as the actress in the play
is called, can: touch even the shod-
diest part with a 'flash of eendus;
elle has, in her tater years, appear-
ed In a long, succession of worthless
failures; she has a tongue that bites
and stabs and corrodes' and her be-
havior at rehearsals, though often en-
ough she is impelled by an erratic
kindness and geeeros,ity, reduces,.ther
colleagues to an angry, impotent des-
pair. These things, one d,magines, are
fact; just as the story of which Mr.
Novello makes her the. center, a
somewhat preposterous • narrative'a-
bout her return to the stage in a very
fine play all about herself, which she
turns lute a failure through a variety
of domestic and professional causes,
Is 'obviously fiction,
The end of the nineteenth century
had a singular facility, for making
ePigrams. Oscar WIltle said things
that are still remembered; se did
Whistler; so did Max Beerbohm; so
did Frank Harris; and so did .the.
lay who is the original of Donna
Lovelace. Many of the latter's say-
ihigs are in hir. NOVollo's Play where
they glitter and flash alongsidecaus-
tic observations of Mr. -N,ovelkas own;
invention,. These obiter dieta are at'

But the second scene might with ad-
vantage be omitted, and the third 'get
which discusses her private life, is
stagy in the extreme.
"Comedienne" gives Miss Bralth-
waite a huge and tremendously effec-
tive part. She is completely at home
in its comery, whether sweet or bit
ter, and makes even its pathos ac-
ceptable. The entire play is built •ze
on the firm foundations of her per-
formance, whioh is supported com-
petently by a large east, of whom Mr.
Alan Webb, as a producer, and Mr.
Mervyn Johns, as a Welsh miner who
had once been deeply moved by Don-
na Lovelace's Hedda Gabler, are the
most notable.
The 'nineties and toe present day
have also been linked, together re-
cently at His Majesty's Theater, jinn
