Sir Jobs Hendrie Lionel II. Clarke of Toronto, has been appointed Lieutenant -Governor of Ont- ario to succeed Sir ,John Ilendrie. Lionel II. Clarke is likely to prove the most democratic Lieutenant -Governor Ontario has ever had, and his appointment is in keeping with the coming to power of a farmer Government that proudly labels itself the last word in democratic person- nel. Although he is widely known chiefly through hie splendid work as chairman of the Toronto harbor Commission a post he has held since the reorganization of the Commission seven years ago, he had been more or less active in civic and public life before that time. He was some years ago 1 president of the Toronto Board of Trade, was a commissioner representing the city on the York County Highways Commiss- ion, and for years has been a member o£ the Queen Victoria Niagara Falls Park Commission Mr, nativeGuelphand ,Clark is of Clarkea M was educated at Trinity College School, Port hope As a young man he entered the grain business. He came to Toronto thirty years ago and has been a resident of the city ever since. In 1891 he went back to Wellington County to contest the North riding in the Conservative inerests, his opponent being the late Senator James McMullen. He was unsuccessful, and fared no better when he ran against Mr. McMullen in 1896, Mr. Clarke declined to be interviewed last night. stated that he had received no intimation as to when he would be expect- ed to take up his new"duties. One off the matters the new Lieutenant -Governor will probably have to discuss with the Drury Government will be the question of Government House. The upkeep of Gov- ernmentHouse over arid above the con- siderable sum the Government provides is a heavy drain upon even a well filled purse. and it is not unlikely that the Drury Government in searching for a means .of malting good onit's pre-election condemnation of Government House ex- penditure, may find a bond of sympathy with the new Lieutenant -Governor.

When King,Pharoh asked Jacob how old be was, he said, "few and evil have been my days," not a very good record—but how many of us have to make the same, sad confession? How much can we do after sixty? Nine have failed in the race, can we make good after sixty? And so let us ask ourselves, What are we worth physically, morally, financially and spiritually at sixty?

The stock is not large that is on hand, but as long as it lasts sampleswill be gladly sent to farmers in almost any district in Can- ada, as it is believed that this oat will be widely useful. The full name of the variety is Liberty, Ottawa 480, It is de- rived from a cross made in 1903 between the well-known variety Swedish Select, and a tintless oat from China. The new variety is decidely superior to the old, Chinese sort. Threshing out free from hull, the type of oat furnishes a concen- trated product of extremely high value which only has to be ground in order to make most excellent feed, especially for pigs and chickens, When carefully clean- ed for use for human food, it makes meal of surprisingly fine quality. The Liberty oat has very good field characters, being rather early a her ar y in ripening and having rea- sonably stiff straw, The yield sofar as the kernel is concerned, is equal to about seven -eighths of Banner Oats. Farmers who are interested in raising hogs and chickens are strongly advised to give this new oat a trail It has already proven extremely satisfactory in some districts.

THE U. F.0. AND ONTARIO'S ROAD BUILDING POLICY (The Catholic Record.) How Ontario's road building policy will be effected by a change of Government remains to be seen, It is common know- ledge, however, that the , attitude of the United farmers of Ontario, the party now holding the reigns of power, is opposed to the principles of highway improvement that have heretoafter been accepted by the Ontario Highways Department—prin- ciples that have culminated in a road building policy not surpassed, we believe, by that of any -other state or province on the continent . The U. F. 0., however, have expressed their dissatisfaction with a programme that his resulted, as they be- lieve, in merely constructing ''joy roads" —roads catered only to the pleasure -seek- ing urbanite, or tourist. This feeling has shown itself in a plank to which the U. F. 0. party, as a whole, subscribes dnd com- rpits itself, objecting to the building of high grade, long-lived roads, and advocat- ing rather the improvement of all rural highways without discrimination. In other words, the U. F, 0. party is not favorable to a policy of selective improve- ment,based on the needs of the community or the general good of the whole province Upon the inception of the U. F. 0. party, the scheme of providing provin- cial highway, heavily subsidized by the government, carne in for a round of criti- cism, the farmer -politicians taking the stand that the inaugration of scheme aim- ed at concentrating a vast expenditure on roads that where not .of service to the majority of the citizens of the province. The U, F. 0. felt that such roads could not provide for the needs of the fanners, and as the farmer's needs were para- mount the building of 100 miles of pass- ableroad was better than 10 miles of per- manent road. In advocating such a procedure, the farmers, we believe, are nOt actuated by any clear understanding of the situation. They fail to recognize that the require- i'nents are riot uniform throughout the province, that the intensity of traffic is not and never an be the same on .the farmer's lane as on the market route. In these varying requirements that must guide the selecting of a road-buildiag policy. And it is in this regard that Ont- ario's programme is so successful, for it provides for improvement in proportion to the traffic requirements and further apportions the cost as nearly as possible to the communities in relation to the bend1t derived.. The consummation of this broad's ag- grsssilre policy cannot but give Ontario the miset beneficial results possible from any mad sebons.

ISARD & CO XXXXXXXXXXXX *Ai If good roads mean anything to any class of people. they mean a good deal to the farmers, and if the farmers fail to see in permanent highways the end of many of their troubles, they are working a- gainst their own best interests If the U. F. 0 , in casting reflections on the present policy, have given their final decision, they are but victims of an ill-founded pre- judice. Let us hope that their decision is not final and that as they get a clearer conception of the whole highway scheme they will see the folly of indiscriminate improvement.
