The cause of this bad conduct is parental ignorance or carelessness or inca­ pacity • King ional blow, ity. <1 decade. Granaries and elevators are crowded to the last bin with food that nobody wants to buy. Storehouses are full of machinery, that no one requires. Wholesale houses are banged full of cotton and silks and woollens 'that nobody needs. (Jewelry and tools and canned goods and millinery and cutlery clutter up the shelves of ware­ houses and of retail stores. Governments are doing their utmost in the way of the construction of public works, And Still the slo­ gan “Produce* Troduce!” calls, louder and more loudly still, for that is the meaning of the cry, “Relieve unemployment!” Where this puzzling and alarming condition is to end no one knows. The sooner all interested realize that the present way of doing things is not adequate for the relief of the distress that grows more menae- ' ing with every passing minute, the -better for all concerned. Like Israel at the Red Sea, men will do well to “stand still and see the salvation of the Lord.” The man who has a better solution for oul* present problem will do well to give us his suggestion. * a certain village, structure consisted of heavy wooden timbers, one bent of which was particularly heavy and difficult to get into position. The men had lifted and strained to their utmost and still the timbers were not • in place. At length the boss shouted the men into silence, secur­ ed, the bent against falling, had the men rest and refresh them­ selves, got into his place of command, had each man situated where he could lift his effective utmost, called out “Steady all” and urged each man to do his best. 1 As if by magic the work was done. So it is with Canadian voters at this moment in their work of nation building. For some reason difficult to determine, there has come a pause in our national progress. To attempt to remain as we are is to invite retrogression and disaster. To' rashly plunge from one allegiance to another is to leap from the frying pan into the fire. To continue the 'game of “Follow your leader” is to pour oil on our burning national welfare. What is needed in our present election quite as much as any time in our national history is. the sending of men to parliament of proven business ability, of initiative in national affairs, men who can take the present occasion by the hand and beckon successfully to better days and to better conditions. We have’ had echo aplenty. For Canadian voters to fail at this election is. to put.the kibosh on prosperity. For .them to select the right sort of. men to manager their public affairs is to bring to Canada unexampled prestige and •' prosperity. A mighty critical hour' has struck for this Dominion Reiterating dead cries and threshing the vacant chaff of bygone public issues never will solve problems that effect every home in our great country.
