EDITORIAL NOTES
The Toronto Saturday Night says:—
The attempt on the part of Sir Robert
Borden to hand a lemon to Sir Wilfrid
Laurier, in the shape of a seat
on the National Service Board, has had
little or no effect on the general situ-
ation. As often pointed out in these
columns. the possibilities of any success
crowning a movement of this sort, at
date, are very doubtful indeed. Now
that the beans are spilled, it was
thoughtful of Sir Robert to ask Sir
Wilfrid to come forward and share the
responsibilities. The mismanagement of
our man power in connection with the
war has been such that nothing that
nothing can be done will repair the
damage. Muzzling Bourassa would
probably be most effective method of
accomplishing a little something, but,
of course, this will not be done, But
asking the Liberal leader to share the
responsibilities of Conservative mis-
management was rather a good idea,
the only trouble is the Old man saw
the point of the hook, and concluded
not to bite.
TOO MANY COMMISSIONS
(Toronto Telegram)
Canada needs rulers who can give
this country responsible government.
Parliamentary responsibility is a farce
and cabinet leadership is a myth if the
rnost important concerns of government
are to be handed over to a mob of Sir
Sam Hughes appointees in the Old
Country and the next most important
entrusted to a commission of Sir Robert
Borden appointees at Ottawa.
Canada is tired of having this
country's affairs mishandled by official
favorites who owe allegiance to nobody
but their irresponsible creator, and of
calling upon commissions to accept
responsibility for the authorship of
policies. A Government should origin-
ate its own policies. The triumph of
these policies ought to bring the glory
of success to the Government. The
collapse of these policies should place
the odium of failure upon a Government.
A Government that is not strong
enough to serve as author of the
nation's policies is not strong enough
to appoint a commission that can suc-
ceed when the Government fails in the
origination of policies.
CONSERVATIVES IN UNREST.
South West Toronto with its crushing
defeat of a Conservative candidate the
first in Toronto for over twenty years
was more than a mere "flash in the
pan." That it exposed a condition of
unrest and dissatisfaction in the Con-
servative Party and that this feeling of
antagonism against the Government is
still strong, is shown by the remarkable
talk of Conservatives after the recent
Annual Meeting of the Ward; 6 Con-
servative Association in Toronto.
Neither the Borden nor the Hearst
Government were popular at this meet-
ing and no cheers were given for either
of them.
"Shall we tackle cheers for Borden
and Hearst?" someone asked at the
end of a stormy evening. "Don't chance
it" was the answer andthey didn't.
Some of the quotations which make
very interesting reading were as fol-
lows:—
"The Conservative Party today is in
a precarious position. It is not an
organized party; it is a disrupted party.
Is there a Conservative person in this
hall tonight who thinks for a minute
that if there were an election tomorrow
our party could carry South Parkdale or
either division of West Toronto, or for
that matter elect any Conservative in
any seat in the city after what has
taken place, and if we could not carry b
seat in Toronto what chance have we
got to catry the province?"
"It is no use poking our heads in the
sand. Our political enemies have bro-
ken through our line and scattered our
forces, not because they were stronger
but because of lack of leadership and
despotic action, both at Ottawa and
Queen's Park. They hold all the gains
they have made. They are making

or do something to bring them back to
the fold.
"The Conservative Party is off the
track; we have got to do something to
get it back again."
"Why not be honest enough to hold a
caucus or convention? Things are in
such condition to -day that unless the
two governments listen to the voice of
the people, accept criticism and under-
take reform at once and effectually. we
will fall in Ontario as we will fall in
the Dominion,"
"We meet exultant Liberals. They
know what's coming too. The Liberals
are so jubilant they actually senile when
they stand talking to you."
"We have all come here to -night like
a lot of sheep and we look like a lot of
sheep."

Conservative party that things are
satisfactory between Sir Adam Beck
and the government in regard to the
McGarry Bill. We know better and

"There are plenty of Conservatives
who have no. use for Sam Hughes but
there is not a word against Sir Robert
Borden." "Oh, isn't there?" asked
someone, "forget him."
"The party needs re -organization
It lacks enthusiasm. The Provincial
Premier says he will stick and I suppose
he will. He will stick and we will
fall,"
DEPARTURE OF BATTALION
It required three special trains to carry
people of Western Ontario to Camp
Borden on Thursday to see the numbers
of the different Battalions which were
shortly to leave the Camp for points
east. Among the number who went
from Wingham were the following:—
A. 11, Musgrove, M.P.P., Mrs Aitchison
Miss Butcher, Miss Fryfogle, Miss
McCool, Miss Haugh, Miss Bloomfield,
Mr and Mrs A, M. Crawford, W. F.
Vanstone, Dudley Holmes, Mrs. F.
Ferguson, J. A. McLean, Robt. Day,
Mr and Mrs J. J. Kerr, Mrs. Manuel,
Mrs Helps, Mr and Mrs T. T. McDonald
Mrs W. E. Scott, W. G. Salter, N'rank
Salter, Jonathan Pattison.
A very pleasant day was spent with
the boys.
The Battalion left Camp Borden on
Friday afternoon for a point east and
from reports received here the boys had
a very pleasant trip and were kindly
treated at different places en route.
In this connection it is with pleasure
that we are able this week to report
promotion of two Wingham young men.
Mr. H. Campbell has been promoted
from Captain to Major and Mr. H. C.
McLean from Lieutenant to Captain.
The many friends of these young men
will join with the TIMES in extending
hearty congratulations.
The hearts of the people of Huron
County will be with the members of the
161st Battalion in their long absense
from the County. There is no finer
sentiment to be expressed than "Good-
bye, Good Luck, God Bless You." The
battalion carries with it the hope and
love of many homes; its efficeney has
been unquestioned, and it has had the
loyal good wishes of every citizen. The
battalion should carry with it the
thought of a generous, wholehearted
admiration from the County whose
name it proudly bears.
BABY'S OWN TABLETS

Mrs. C. E. Stilwell, Winthrope, Sask.
writes: "I have used Baby's Own Tablets
for the past ten years and have found
them so good for my little ones that I i
always keep a box in the house." Mrs.
Stilwell is one of thousands of mothers
who always keep the Tablets on hand.

little one she would use nothing else
