A WAV E of independence is eptead- iug over the country, Independence of old parties, inde- pendence in journalism, independence of personal action is the order of the day. is Some months since a prominent Cabinet Minister of independent views put himself on record, lie was con- strained to step down and out, but he still lives and moves and haelhis being, and hi'. utterances day by day are looked upon as of more importance than many Miuieterial pronounce- ments An attempt has been made to weak- en his position by calling upon him to retire from the newspaper which he controls, but the gentleman is not of the compellable kind. He claims that he retired from public life so that he might be better able to give hie powers to journalism, and in journal- ism he will stay. More:recently one of the leading newspaper men of Toronto --wino for many years had occupied what was considered to be the first place in Canadian journalism—decided that party hack work was too heavy a yoke, and he retired from his elevated po- sition. He has summoned around him a band of experienced newspaper men, of all grades and conditions or poiiti• cal shibboleth and has launched a newspaper which aims to be fair and aboveboard in dealing with all public questions, and to be at the beck and call of no party or set of so-called pub- lic men. The venture of Mr. WIU.isolf will be watched with deep interest by the newspaper men of Canada, and the success of the undertaking and we all hope that it will be successful— will make a great change in existing political conditions. There is room in tins country for more independence on the line of po litical thought. That has been dem• onstrated by the upturn that w As given to the political situation by the Patron movement some years ago, and by the independence on the part of erstwhile Conservatives in the cam- paign of 1896. More recently in the Provincial elections of May last, the Ontario Government was brought almost to its knees by the independent. ' action of a number of former support en on the temperance question. The day of hard and fast political ties is past, and new men possessed of new methods are bound to arise in the near future to take the reins of goi, ernment in their hands. The time was when the passing of a Premier meant the substitution of one, of his colleagues. That is not the case today, either in Dominion or Local affairs. The removal of Sir Wi1.FRID L•os1sR would wrench the Liberal Party so seriously that political chaos would prevail. In Ontario, should Hon. G. W. Ross leave the ship there is no man in sight who could tale the rudder. And the idea of political inde pendence is growing.
