The two bye -elections last Thursday to fill vacancies in the Ontario legis- lature resulted in a victory each for the Conservatives and Liberals. Hon. E. J. Devi* was returned in North York by a majority of 449. His opponent was Mr. T. Herbert Lennox, who opposed him last May when Mr, Davis' majority was 207. The bye -election in Centre Bruce was a surprise to everyone. Major Hugh Clark, who carried the riding last May for the Conservatives by five mejority, was again returned, this time by 62 majority. Ono of the notable features of the Centra Bruce campaign was the fact that Major Clark had no outside help nor held meetings, while hie opponent, Dr. Stewart, had a liberal supply of speakers and organizes, including Pre. mier Rose, too members of his cabinet and several members of the Dominion and Ontario parliaments. Major Clark is the first Conservative to be elected in Centre Bruce. HARD ON THE SENATE. The number of old-time politicians who are sending in applications for appointments to the senate would leave one to believe that they Iwked upon it merely as a senateariure for played -out political hacks. What the government should do is to select hardier, healthier and younger men, with brains and ballast to fill the vacancies,—Goderich Signal. Hear! Hear! Daniel! Every word you say is true, It has come to this pass that there are but two ways to get to the senate. One must be a million• sire contractor, promoter, or pill -maker, or a worn-out and defeated member of parliament. It is high time scone of the other Bort of men were given a chance. How would it be this time to select a man because he has brains? —Simcoe Reformer. Would it not be better for the Liberals to fulfil the promisee they made to the people when in opposition and abolish the whole outfit ? And failing in that, so recouetruct it as to bring it into accord with the other representative tnatttunons of the country by making it directly responsible to the people. Men would then be selected for It because they have brains, and not because they are pill•makere, million- aires or worn-out political hacks,— Seaforth Expositor. WHY HE WON. Major Hugh Clark, who captured Centre Bruce for the Conservatives last Thursday, tells how he done it in the following words: "The result in Centre Bruce cannot be traced to any one cause. This is a Liberal riding, and it follows that many Liberals must have supported me. They were opposed to a protest in this riding. That protest originated with, and was prosecuted by, my opponent, and a few legal supporters. The Lib- eral party was not back of it, and the government was morally bound to prevent it. "Having failed to abide by Acting - Premier Harcourt's agreements, the government lost more or less prestige among Liberals who believe that faith ought to be kept, even in a matter of ' saw -offs,' ' The government assisted me by bringing on the election before public feeling had time to cool. The riding was overrun by speakers, including the premier, a dozen or more members of the legislature, several members of the Dominion parliament, and a corps of ordinary stump speakers, besides every urban municipality had a small staff of imported leaders, doing their work quietly. "Personally, I had no outside assist- ance, a circumstance that met with the approval of the people, The more men the machine sent into the riding, the snore they accentuated my isolation. "The prohibition issue helped me in some places, but hurt me in others. My opponent accepted the speaker and platf nw of the prohibitionists. 1 re- fused to do so, although assenting to the fact that the vote of December last demanded a decided measure of reform in our liquor laws, Several persons took the stump againk tae, but did eta no particular harm. At present it does not appear that I loot more than I gained by the introduction of the pro- hibition issue. " Personally, I always felt that the machine could never be smashed by another machine, but that it could not stand if you allowed the people to get at it." THE TIDE OF IMMIGRATION. A new record for immigration Otto Canada will likely be made during 1908. A large percentage of the immigrants will locate in Manitoba and the western territories, whose fertile prairies re- main comparatively unbroken. The land now under tillage is bet a email portion of the arable territory, and aceommodation for incoming settlors will remain for many years, no matter how great the influx of population. The Northwest has all the attribntes neoeeeery to make of it the nation's granary, lacking only the one essential —men. This lack is In a fair way of being remedied, thanks to the energetic immigration policy adopted by the Dominion government, They have a capable staff of immigration officials in different parts of the British Isles end Europe, under the superintendency of Mr, W. T. R. Preston. These agents work under a systematic plan, and are pointing out to the working classes of the old lends the possibilities of bus- bendry in the Northwest This mis. sionary work is supplemented by the easy terms of transportation and settle- ment offered by the government. Farmers in the Western States are beginning to realize that Canada has land as good as their own, and to be had for less money, and the tide of settlers from Dakota, Kansas and the Southwestern States is steadily increas- ing. 'It is estimated that at least 100,000 people from the United States will locate in the Northwest during the preeeut year. It goes without saying that the west would be better for a strong British and Canadian element set down alongside these Yankee set- tlers. Much of the development of the western provinces depends upon the character of its people, and it devolves upon those in charge of immigration to see that the incoming population is of a stamp worthy of the rich heritage they ere going to share, Blyth Pablle School Report The following is the report of Blyth public school for February :— Div, No, 1,—The names of those who secured 50 per cent or over in order of merit : Class II.—J.
