THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 19 1917
THE NEW FRANCHISE ACT.
The Government at Ottawa has in-
troduced and is railroading through
Parliament a measure designated the
War -time Elections Act. Its chief pro
visions are the dsfranchisemeut of
all hien of German, Austrian or Turk-
ish birth who have been naturalized
since Meeh' 31, 1902. and the enfran-
chisement of the female reletia•es of
soldiers who have gone oversea., in-
cluding wives or widows. mothers,
daughters, or sisters, of age. Hitherto
the Provincial voters' lists have been
the basis of the Federal franchise, but
in a number of the Prrninces women
have been given the ballot. and the
Borden Government is unwilling to
allow any women except the relatives
of soldiers to vote in the coming elec-
tion. New diets will be prepared, at
great expense. and without the safe-
guards which surround the making
up of the municipal lists which hither-
to have been used in this Province.
Objection is taken to the measure
on the ground that men who have re-
ceived their naturalization papers are
Canadians, and not aliens, to be treated
as enemies of the country of their
adoption. The Government's claim is
that an unrestricted franchise would
--endanger the conscription law : blit
the fact is that organised oppos tion
to conscription comes almost solely
from a certain element in Quebec,
which is not interfered with by the new
franchise act. The (ilovernnient has
all along been afraid to suppress Hour-
assa and his lieutenants—or, art some
say, the Government is quite willing
that Bourassa, Lavergne and cuutpahy
should make as cutch trouble as they
like in Quebec, so that the blame for
the situation in that Province may Ire
placed against Sir Wilfrid Laurier.
Ho far an we have heard, the people
of enemy origin in the Wept have not
conducted thenisele es improperly, and
if any individuals among them hit, e•
exhibited disloyalty they should be
dealt with indjviduitlly ; the rights of
ninety nine people should not be dis-
respected be.rause of the misdemeanor
of one prison.
In some of the West rn conatituen-
ciee a large percentage of the popu-
lation is disfranchised by the new
measure. and in several instances
these constituencies are represented in
Parliament by Liberals who voted for
conscription. The disfranchisement of
their constituents is deeply resented
by these metnhere, and sonde of the
strongest attacks upon the hill have
come frond cuuseriptioniat Liberals
like Dr. Neely, W. A. Buchanan and
O. E. Me(ianey. Mr. Buchanan, the
a►enib er for Medicine Hat, who is one
of the most deterniined conscription-
ists in the House, finds the ground cut
from under his feet by the Govertc-
nient'e partisan measure. His protest,
however, nits in vain.
“Sin re war has raged I have re-
peatedly appealed to -my Western
constituents , f alien origin," said
Mr. Buchanan. ••1 have urgers ser-
vice. I have pleaded for patriotic
causes. There has been generous
response, i have told them agein
and again—told thou with Cana-
dian pride—that Canada and the
Empire were fighting for freedom,
for liberty, for justice, and. high-
est of all, f er national honor and
the pledged word.
I cannot go to them now.
Through my (paper and with all
niy endeavors f have tried t, serve
these great ends. My auibition has
been to create a national senti-
ment. I broke with tet, party and
voted for conscription. 1 had eon-
enee that the position i took
was right, and that I could appeal
with assurance upon that issue to
those whole i represent, and for
such a noble cause.
"1 cannot do that now. This
fiovernment has repudiated the
pledged word of Canada. It has
shed it aside as • scrap of pa-
per•. it has repudiated the inde-
pendence of coner-ription Liller-
aliesrt. Those of us Who left our
party because we believed it our
uty to support the Government
in • war measure for the ns.--
tional advantage find now that
this (iovernul•nt is not w con-
cerned in war measures for na-
tional advantage as it is in election
measured for party advantage."
While no objection is taken to
the enfranchisement of the female
,relatives of ovee•eas soldiers. there is
n•riticisnt of the discrimination against
other w"Illen who have done quite as
cutch and sa•riflced quite as much as
many of the favored ones. In some
cases, in fact. the relatives of soldiers
did nothing but try todiscout•age their
mien front enlisting. These get the
vote, while the limits of wouten who
have devoted theutselvee wholeheart-
edly to patriotic work since the lie-
ginniug yf the war receive no recog-
nition of their effort and sacrifice.
The tueaeure is being put through
the. House of Coin mono by closure,
though there has been very little time
for considerate or discussion of the
proposals it embodies.

The harvest is a big ogle, but the

Justso long as we get pleasant

The Government at Ottawa is giv-
ing an exhibition of Prussianismt that
could hardly be matched outside the
inner circlee of Kaiserdom.
Perhaps that bacon investigation
will be held up until Mir Joseph Wes-

his baronetcy- out of the people's

Some fool Americans before the war
used to talk about annexing Canada
and extending to it the bl.esioge of
republican government. Unless we
raise ourselves to the level of thew
great-souled people, the beet thing that
could happen to us would be to get
Canada to annex us. But we hope
thew lettere will thrill our hearts with
admiration, and will stir us to a en•

No troops have gained more honor,

Canada. In no action in which they
have taken part have they failed to
distinguish themselves by singular
valor. The healthful climate of Canada
N in a measure responsible for this
wonderful showing, but there is so-
uther reason why Canadians have ex-
celled. The first. Canadians to take up
arms for the mother country were
bailed as heroes by their Ht itisb cous-
ins. England realized that men tram
a country that was not directly men-
aced by the war must be animated by
the highest motives of loyalty and
patriotism to risk their lives for the
right.
England's estimate of Canadian
worth proved ju.t. In the first ter-
rible days of the German rush, as soon
as the Canadians appeared in the
trenches they won honors of war.
The Canadians who followed these
pioneers were dutybound to live up
to the high stanards set by their
forerunners, and in this they did
nobly.
