The Liberal Government of Prince
Edward Island, in power since 1891,
has been defeated. The new House
will consist of fourteen Liberals, fifteen
straight Conservatives, and one Inde-
pendent Conservative. Last week Dr.
Dewar, a straight Conservative, de-
feated Premier Palmer (Liberal) in the
third district by a majority of 354, with
one place to hear from, which will in-
crease his majority. Mr. Palmer's
majority in the same district at the
general election of 1908 was 106.
Parliament is again at work. The
victors and the vanquished faced each.
other Weinesday afternoon of last
week. Sir Wilfrid Laurier took the
Opposition leader's seat amid thunder-
ous applause of the Liberals. Mr. R.
L, Borden took the place allotted to
the Prime Minister of Canada, and the
Conservative hundred and fifty raised
the roof with a riot which embodied all
their feeling of triumph in one wild
and prolonged yell, which has been
bottled up for fifteen years. The faces
of the two men were studies. Each
was dignified. Sir Wilfrid was serious.
He acknowledged the salute of his fol-
lowers with a smile and sat impassive-
ly through the demonstration accorded
to his conqueror. Mr. Borden received
his ovation with evidences of thorough
relish. That the tumult with its signi-
ficance was sweet to his ears, no one
Gould doubt who saw him.

THE STAIRCASE TEST
T-•
If You Cannot Pass !t. Your
Health is Failing.
When you suffer acute palpitation of
the heart, dizziness or faintness every
time you go up stairs; when exertion
of any kind leaves you breathless and
trembling, it is a warning that your
blood is defective ---that you are anaem-
mic. If these warnings bre neglected t
•
worse disorders will follow—perhaps
decline or deadly consumption. If you
are in this condition you need the new,
good blood of health that has been giv-
en to thousands of sufferers by Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills. These Pills ban-
ish all the ailments arising from poor
blood, tone up the system and make
weak men and women well and strong.
Miss Elizabeth Campbell, Almonte,
Ont., says: "I was living at Pembroke
at the time my health failed me. I
until
Ittastgweaker day
last so weak I could not walk
upstairs without help, and I could not
go down street without sitting down
and resting. My mother got quite
anxious about me and took me to a
doctor who said he was quite sure he
could restore my health. He gave me
a bottle of medicine, and I continued
its use until I had taken four bottles,
but instead of getting stronger I was
growing weaker all the time, and was
only a mere shadow of my former self.
My parents belieyecyI was in a decline
and could not ge f .better. My mother
had heard so mu about Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills that she decided I ought to
try them. I did not notice much change
until I had taken five or six boxes,
when a decided improvement set in,
and from that nthrough astronger
each day, until
contin-
ued use•=of the pills I was back to
my old-time health and strength. I
believe. Dr. Williams Pink Pills the best
remedy on earth for si ik people, and
cannot too strongly urge other weak
girls to give them a trial."

Sir Wilfrid Laurier achieved his
seventieth milestone Monday, and the
membership of the greatest Opposition
which Canada has ever seen has asked
him to accept recignition of the event
in the form of a dinner. The "Chief"
prefers to spend the day fighting. The
debate upon the address yeas scheduled
to begin Monday afternoon.
"No opportunity larger or more full
of promise to the people of this Pro-
vince lies before the Government than
this affecting the agricultural industry.
We need to be awake and not asleep,
and sieze the opportunity which pre-
sents itself of making this not only the
bonner Province in the Dominion, but
the banner section of the continent."—
Mr. N. W. Rowell at Guelph.
At a rousing meeting of the Liberals
of Centre Bruce at Glamis Friday
afternoon, Wm. McDonald, of Chesley,
was the unanimous choice for candidate
in the coming elections. He was pro-
mised the heartiest support by repre-
sentatives from districts all through
the riding. Addresses were given by
Messrs. McDonald, Tolmie, Malcolm -
son, Hunter, Campbell, Armow and
Pinkerton.
A party newly gone into Opposition
could hardly be accused of selfish de-
signs in supporting such a radical
policy as the advocacy of the abolition
of the Senate, and in the face of Mr.
Borden's desire for a "reform" of the
Senate while in Opposition, he would
find difficulty in evading the issue. The
Senate is an expensive luxury for a
young country. The Provinces do very
nicely without their second chambers,
and it is difficult to see why the Domin-
ion could not. The present is a good
time, at least, to consider the question
fully and decide on a permanent policy.

CHILDREN'S AID WORK PROGRESS-
ES IN HURON COUNTY.
During the past year two children
have been placed in good foster homes
by the Goderich and county society.
A boy twelve years of age, taken from
a neglected home and placed with a
prosperous farmer a few miles from
Goderich, where he will be sent to
school and treated as a member of the
family. The little girl five years of
age has been placed in a good foster
home in our town, where she will be
lovingly cared for.
The society is doing great good to
the community by placing children,
who would otherwise have no chance,
in homes where they will likely grow
up to be useful citizens.. Removing
the children from their homes by the
society is only done as a last resort.
Complaints of neglect are carefully
looked into; parents are interviewed
and children encouraged to attend
school regularly, and to be truthful
and honest. The cigarette habit also
comes in for some attention, the soci-
ety having already brought helpful in-
fluences to bear on a number of boys
who were forming the habit.
The Government superintendent, Mr.
J. J. Celso, is deeply interested in the
society's work in Huron county. He
is giving every possible assistance and
is anxious that committees be formed
in every town or village throughout
the county, so that all cases of neglect
and cruelty may be promptly reported
and attended to by the executive offi-
cer. The Society systematically agi-
tates against all that tends to rob chil-
dren of the right to grow up in an at-
mosphere of moral cleanliness, and to
have them trained for a life of respect-
ability and usefulness. The aid of all
classes is respectfully solicited to this
desirable end Cash contributions will
be received by the society's treasurer,
R. S Williams, or G.M. Elliott, corres-
ponding secretary and countyinspeetor.
Citizens are requested to become mem-
bers of the society. Your name and a
payment of one dollar is all that is re-
gdired. Do it now.

Farm Machinery and Rural Population.
[Weekly Sun.]
Those who seek to minimize the de-
cline of rural population in the Eastern
Provinces ascribe too much importance
to the efficiency of farm machinery,
which they say enables one man to do
to -day, the work done by several form
erly. The climax so far reached in,the
production of labor-saving farm ma-
chinery seems to have been attained in
the invention of the binder, which came
into general use in the Province thirty
years ago. Since that time, the hay
loader and some devices used in thresh-
ing are the only improvements in ma-
chinery which can be said to have ap-
preciably lessened in the old Provinces
the need of help on the farm. On the
other hand the need of help has been
increased by the introduction of dairy-
ing and truck farming. In the West,
the traction plow, propelled by steam
or gasoline, is widely used. It has not
come into general use in Ontario be-
cause of the small farms and the fields
and because in seme sections of the
wide distribution of fragments of stone
in the lake clays. The decline of rural
population in the last ten or twenty
years is not, therefore, fairly attribut-
able to the efficiency of farm machinery,
the influence of which was exhausted
thirty years ago, but to those fiscal re-
straints which The Sun at least has
done its best to remove.

LIVE STOUR MARKETS.
Toronto, Nov. 20 — Union Stock
Yards—Receipts for to -day were 166
cars, with 2,843 head of cattle, 50
calves, 1,966 hogs, and 1,961 sheep and
lambs.
Trade was dull and the market from
15e to 20c lower. There was a very
large run of common and inferior grad-
es of cattle, so much so that dealers
declared there was not a good load of
choice quality, either butcher or ex-
port, on the market. At all events,
there was no eager demand for any-
thing offering, and business was, in
consequence, slow, particularly in the
export class.
