THE i311►RO RADIAL QUESTION.
The Drury Government, disregarding
the clamor raised in Toronto and other
Hydro centres. has definitely decided to
await the results of a thorough In-
vestigation before allowing the credit
of the Province to Iw pledget to certain
Hydro radial undertakings. We be-
lieve this decision 0[ the Government
is the right one, and that Mr. ]Drury
Les taken a stand that will be com-
mended by the Province generally. If
the radials can be shown to be a sound
enterprise, uu harm will have lawn
done by the slight dela If, on the
other band, It is shown that they are
iikely to prove a burden upon the muni-
cipalities and tlw Province, the Gov-
ernment will bare been fully Justltied
in calling a halt.
The Farmers' Sun, ,a "srml ul6clrl"
organ of the Government. puts the rase
this way :
1'he truth et the matter Is that the
Government is cunvlur'ed of the sound-
nwa of tits power side of the Hydro
situation. but not of the redlsl Pod.
The Government Is friendly to all sane
Hydro development. It k too good a
friend to Hydro to allow a good thing
to be wicked by Ieiug linked up with
a possible failure. It is ■11x10115 that
the Chippewa plant should be rushed
to completion at the earliest possible
date. It knows [het the farmers of
the Province are &ort of help and
consequently Md thsir prodnetiun cur-
tailed. If Hydro power were avail-
able for the farms of the Province, it
would in some measure solve the pres-
ent Labor shortage. Further, sanu-
fartetrers throughout- alt parte of the
Provence are asking for mot's -power.
The (.overfinent Is doing everything It
eau to have the Chippewa plait com-
pleted at the earliest p ttslble moment
and are atieo striving to have other
,,power projects in the Province rushed
to completion. But 1f all the available
power be used for radials it will set
back the prsapeet of power for farmers

The radial end is to-beinvest

A Toronto newspaper, referring to
the latest attempt to go over Niagara,
Falls in a barrel. urges that such "thril-
lers" be discouraged. Probably the fact
that the man who made the attempt lost
his lite will be all the discouragement
that will be needed for some time.
Wonder what is the matter with the
German gun lent to Goderichj? "Put it
in Black's, Park, St. Patrick's street. and
say no more about it." somewhat testily
eaclaims The Signal when the question of
location came up.—Clinton News -Record.
The News -Record misunderstands.
There is nothing the matter with the
German gyn. now that it is in Canada
and no arismunition near. We simply

should be placed before there was any

THE NEW PREMIER.
Mr. Alex. Saunders sends The Signal
a copy of The rhlcage Tribune with
the following excerpt from The Rock-
ford Register -Gazette on a qurstlon
that 1s much discussed on both sides of
the ]order :
The States of time Northwest have an
ppareufly souud Isisis fur their cull
for the improvement of lake -to -ocean
channels, so that sea traffic may start
from the ports of the Great lakes.
The inability of tar railroads to handle
Glc-uutguiug grain and live stock brings
the producers to tlw whit of slowing
down their plans. If they (sutn.t ship

This angle cit the situation brings
the Interest of the general public into
the game. The Northwest deeds an

to wait on eastern railroad, congestion.

Hon. Arthur Meighen has been sworn
in as Prime Minister of Canada,
succeeding Sir Robert Borden. His Min-
istry will include most of the old Minis -
ten, with only a few new men. and so far
as is known there will be no important
departures in policy. Sir Thomas White
could have had the Premiership but de-
clined it. Since he retired from the
Government he has become engaged in
business enterprises which he does not
care to leave. and, in addition, the pros•
pect of the early defeat of the Govern-
ment and a long term in the shades of
opposition had little attraction fir him.
Mr. Meighen is more of a politician. and
his party will look to him to remain in
the harness whether in power or in op-
position. The new Premier is a strong
partisan of a rather narrow type, a 'GM
fighter, inclined to strain an argument.
and has never been accused of lacking in
courage. His leadership will appeal to
the straight Tory element in the country,
and although two or three so-called Liber-
als still remain in tht,(-,overnment they
are men who will never again be known
ala Liberals in any real sense.
A number of bye-electione will he

In the past the convention was held in
winter but the "flu' epidemic during
p
the last two winters has made it necessary

and interesting.

element in Sunday school work

the fact that a number of non•Cenadian
periodicals are coming into some of our
schools. Also the question of teacher -
training came up for discussion.

ject of an interesting address by Mr. Jas.
Mitchell, of Goderich, which was followed

onto, "lit Girl in Our Midst." A round
table conference was also conducted by
Miss Taggart, when a number of cries -
Dons relating to Sunday school work
were discussed. including Sunday school
finances. missions and the summer
school in union Sunday school work.
EVENING MEETING.
The opening exercises of the evening
meeting were led by Rev. E. O. horde, of
Clinton, followed by the report of t
nominating committee, which included
the following resolutions:
"Resolved, that we, the Auburn District
Union Sunday School Association. now

of thanks to the members of the Presby-
terian congregation for their courtesy in

"That. whereas the referendum vote is
to be taken on October 25th of this year,
on the question of prohibiting the import-
ation of liquor into our Province, the
Sunday school workers assembled in

upon fathers and mothers and others who
are privileged to vote to use this privilege
themselves and influence as many others
as possible to vote for the referendum and
thus peotect our children from the evil d
intemperance."
A very illuminating address lettesla
by Rev. W. J Campbell. of es
"Prayer in the Sabbath School."
The closing address was by Miss Tag-
gart. "The Sunday School Pivot." She
mentioned a number of pivots used in
Sunday school work dwelling especially
