The Brussels Post, 1925-9-23, Page 4t Erttast1B W ^DNpSDAY, SE 28, 1/45 NARROW GAUGE POLITICS The Ottawa Citizen,, which has for .the past few year s maintained an ad- anirebly Independent policy in poli- tics fcoriossly criticizing all parties alike where adverse criticism was due, has the following illuminating editor lel, headed "Narrow Gauge Politica" in its issue of September 17th. We reproduce It as an independent size - up of Mr. Meighen's campaign ap- peats. The Citizen says:— "Mr, Meighen' had an exceptional opportunty to furnish the country With new national leadership, but he has failed pathetically to measure up to that opportunity. Let it be said at once that he is personai.ly a man of character and integrity, as also is the Prime Minister, Mr. King. Bat Mr. Menglien's public utterances stamp him as a leader only along narrow- gauge lines. He is apparently incap- able of thinking with broad vision of the nation's real interests. He is, indeed, prepared to sacrifice national interests for the sake of temporary party advantage. Ile cannot refrain from stooping to contemptible poli- ties. Mr. Meighen's latest exhibition of narrow partisan outlook occurred at Halifax last Tuesday, where he felt it necessary to say something to offset Vincent Massey's entrance into public life on the Liberal side. Instead of welcoming this commendable evidence of interest on the part of younger Canadian public men in national pro- blems—even though in this instance it happened to be on the opposite side polftreally—Mr, Meighen could think of nothing bigger to say than to ae- scribe Mr. Massey's decision as "grandstand play!' The Canadian Press reports Mr. Meighen's churlish reference to Mr. Massey as follows: 'It is very easy for Mr. Mas- sey, having secured immunity while others suffered, to make a grandstand play of entering the government,' Far from securing immunity for himself, it can be safely said that Mr. Massey's action in entering the gov- ernment has been decided upon with full realization that it means consid- erable personal sacrifice. He could stay comfortably outside of the strife of tongues, as most business men pre- fer to do, rather than face the storm of abuse that they are liable to be subject to as soon as they enter tea political arena. Mr. Meighen has at once shown what he is prepared to do. He has given party heelers the lead along the path of mean politics. The same cheap brand of criticism is directed by Mr. Meighen against the administration of the Canadian National Railways. Political follow- ers have apparently persuaded him to refrain from making direct per- sonal reference to Sir Henry Thorn- ton, such as he used to make when Sir Henry first took over the question of railway president. Mr. Meighen's tactics are to refer to the board of directors, although he knows perfect- ly well that all decisions of major im- portance must be made by Sir Henry Thornton. But the Conservative leader is concerned only with making party capital, irrespective of whether it spreads the disruptive tendency to- wards sectionalism in Canada, or is calculated to destroy public confid- ence in the Canadian National Rail- ways under, public ownership. Speaking in Halifax, he told the Maritime Provinces what the Conser- vative party proposed to do with the Intercolonial Railway—framing the statement with the obvious intention of catching votes, The Conservative leader's policy is, .in effect, to keep the Intercolonial Railway in politica. Premier Mackenzie King has faith- fully carried out the will of the peo- ple by taking the railways out of politics. Mr. Meighen quite plainly endeavored to promote sectional dis- content by saying that the Liberal politicians 'sat meekly by in Ottawa while the Canadian National Board confines the Intercolonial Railway to Riviere du Loup.' The C. N. R. ad- ministration has greatly increased the efficiency of the Intercolonial. But Mr. Meighen cares nothing about that. He thinks party capital can be made by catering to Maritime Prov- ince sectionalism: hence the rubbish that he talked about politicians sitting `meekly by' instead of interfering. Of course Mr. Meighen's election- eering .policy is governed laregly by the belief that such tactics are neces- sary to win elections in Canada. He has a low opinion of the intelligence of the Canadian electorate. He is still playing the party game as he learned it under Mr, Rogers in Mani- toba fifteen years ago—overlooking the vital fact that in the meanwhile a new generation of Canadian man- hood and womanhood has grown up in Canada. Mr. Meighen's ideas of dealing with national "problems are worse than fut- ile, they are pitiable. He told the people of Halifax that he would re- duce railyway rates for the benefit of the Maritime Provinces, and the de- ficit due to this policy would be paid for 'from the general treasury of the nation.' In other words he would tax the people of Canada to allow the Intercolonial Railway to be operated uneconomically. Mr. Meighen's whole talk on transportation is evi- dence that he is not in touch with Maritime Province conditions, where the problem is not primarily one of lower transportation rates but of bet- ter markets. On the tariff, Mr. Meighen is cqual- ly at sea. He has learned some par- rot talks about protection which have practically no application to the Mari- time Provinces any more than they have to the West, He has nothing" now' to effete to meet unprecedented conditions. For national leadership towards on .ith rc `uvenation of Canada, Mr. Mei- ghen's narrow-gauge outlook is hope- less. He is lacking in breadth of vis- ion. After four years of opportunity ts opposition leader, he ie deinonstra- ingT in this election' campaign that he has learned nothing, He can give no lead to hold the confidence of young Canada. Ile has nothing to contrib- ute towards the solution of nation*, problems. He is a disappolntnient to Conservativefollowers, and aneg ' in . plife.

Harrison Phone 4723 HURON PRESBYTERY The Huron Presbytery held it re- gular quarterly, meeting in the Sea. forth Presbyterian Church on Tues- day, uesday, September 8th with Dr: Lorain in the chair and tate attendance of fifteen, including Revs: McDetmid, Macfarlane and Foote, ministers, and representatives from congregations:; and groups numbering eight in all. Messrs. Foote and Strang were named as a nominating committee 'with power to appoint committees. Re- ports were received from groups setting forth present conditions and indicating for the most part situations now gratifying and full of promise for the future. In certain cases steps were taken for making new connect- ions that will be in the interests of some of these groups. Brucefield now receives weekly service from Clinton and the continuing.congrega- tion that worships in the Anglican church at Hensall taxes the capacity of the sacred edifice. Arrangeemnts were made whereby the Presbyterian case of Hensall, Clinton, Brucefield and Bayfield may be' adequately pre- sented before the commission to meet in Stratford in the near future. I3c- sides a Presbytery delegation consist- ing of Messrs, Foote. Macfarlane and Strang, congregations concerned were instructed to set forth their claims in personal representation. The meet- ing lasted two hours and passed in review many matters closely related to the religious life of the Huron dis- triet—Seaforth News. Achievement — Not Invective During the two years the Rt. Hon. Arthur Meighen was in office after the war, the public debt of this coun- try was increased by $173,000,000. During the last three fiscal years that debt has been reduced by millions of dollars, and all that is said to the con- trary is disputed by the facts. So far as taxation is concerned, for every dollar raised four years ago, the people are now paying twen- ty. -five per cent less. This is also a demonstratable fact. If these achieve meats do not appeal to the imagina- tion, they at least form a most con- vincing argument to the pockets of the taxpayers of the Dominion, There is no poetry about taxes; there is no escape from them and any statesman that lightens them has something tangible to his credit. And, be it remembered, that these reduc- tion came at a time when our people needed every cent they could either earn or save. Nothing can be more unfair than to hold the - King administration re- sponsible for railway deficits due to, fixed charges which have not been paid for many years. We have as- serted before, and repeat the state- ment without fear of contradiction, that W. L. Mackenzie King and his colleagues brought order out of chaos in the Canadian railway situation, and did away with an extravagant,' wasteful, and, indeed, an intolerable state of affairs. Reform is sometimes costly at the outset, but in the long run the outlay is justified by results. Where these have been achieved those who inaug- urated and brought them to fruititiou should be allowed to continue the good work. Whining and grumbling at the Canadian people for defeating him at the last general election will not getMr. Meighen very far in the present contest. Canadians do not like a bad loser, but even if his de- feat on October 9th, should let loose another tirade of bitter criticism and vident invective, we shall have to put up with it with all the patience at our command. KEEPING FAITH' The Rt. Hon. Arthur Meighen may have been serious when he challenged' Premier King to declare Himself on the question of Senate reform. Per- haps the Opposition Leader would have been just as weII satisfied with no precise or prompt reply, but Mr. Icing has answered the cartel with promptitude and equal equivocation. He committed both himself and his Government to the abolition of life senatorships. Mr, Metgnen went a little too far perhaps when he sug- gested that the Premier's Richmond Hill speech contained nothing in the natureof .a f hi 0 1C which could d be policy placed before the people of Canada. The Liberal Leader's reply to his op- ponent is a request' to the electors to put the two addresses in the scales and east their votes according to the frankness and honesty of the respec- tive addresses. This is all fair and aboveboard. This is keeping faith with the Canadian people. There is, no appeal to prejudice, sectionalism or class interest in this challenge. So fat from the Premier avoiding issues, he has brought them to the forefront. All the charges have not emeenated from the Conservative aide. Mr. Xing has again and again main- tained his position on such questions' as the National Railways, debt reduc- tion, rail and ocean freight rates, re- duction of the cost of living and the lessening of administration costs, all of great interest to the Teeple of this country. This is very.different from the pon- derous Philhpics indulged in by the Conservative leader,who can only talkhigh and still n higher tariff. T is not tariff reform but tariff retro- gression ha Preaeites. With regard to the railway ques- tion: E, W. Beatty hag stated the position of the C. P. R.

United Maitland Presbyterial The Fall Conference of the United Maitland Presbyterial met in Wing- ham Sept 10th. President, Mrs. Mc- Kenzie, presided. After the opening exercises, and reading of minutes, very encouraging and gratifying re- ports were received from the secret- aries of different departments. It was urged' that the Women's Day of Prayer be -observed and that the mem hers strive to attend all Auxiliary meetings- The removal of Mrs. Gol- Ian, Mission Band Secretary for many years, was much regretted. Mrs. Greer reported on behalf of the former Iffethodist W. M. S. Afternoon session at L30 p tit. Mrs. Willis, District Superintendent, pre- sided, and gave the welcome to the delegates. Miss Hemingway than gave reports of St. a'homas Summer School Mks. Bennett gave a review of Methodist. W. M. S., from its he. ginning 44 years ago. She urged that it is from the homes the Missionaries have to come, so it is necessary the children be looked after—we are be- ginning a new era and so must ad- just ourselves to our new position; consecrate ourselves anew to the work of the Church at home and abroad. Mrs. Hamilton, of Gbd'erich, gave an address dealing with the work of the Presbyterian W. M. S. from its or- ganization, sixty-one years ago with two missionaries, to the present time. The United Church comprises over six hundred and twenty-five Canadian, men and women who are scattered over the eleven foreign fields of our church. More than anything else,. they covet the prayers of the congreg- ations, which have sent them forth in, the name of the King of Kings, NOT EASILY' DISCOURAGED Co -incidentally with the announce- ment that the lines of the North At- lantic conference have declined to re- duce freight rates on cattle, we have the statement of Premier Icing as follows: "What you need Is to have a low- ering ofocean freight rates on your (Nova Scotian) products. We had the courage to attack the problem. We have not solved it yet, but we in- tend to keep at it," Here then is an example of cour- age and tenacity. The unfortunate death of Sir William Petersen, put an end for the time being, to the Governments' proposals ata very critical juncture. It was another case of ill -luck' blocking a scheme, which, properly worked out, would have meant a great deal to the a ricultur• rats and manufacturers of this coun- try. But the Rt. Iron. W. L. Mack- enzie Icing is not to be deterred eithe erby ill -luck or any temporary set- back. If he is continued in power, sooner or later be will be able to bringa boon to those who are inter- ested in this country's prospexltyt Trade' has developed under Liberal rule, and this fact alone should make the electors chary in regard to tariff increases, width can only mean itigelicr prices. The one plank platform of the Opposition Leader cannot possib- ly appeal either to the East or to the West Nor, since it is 'a plea to clear interest and sectionalism' can it be expected to make a hit either In On- tario or Quebee. Mr, ging has a policy, broad strongly Liberal,' statesmanlike, nti of. benefit to the country geneally; hig opponent has nothing real]y vital or constructive to offer; only the old, nostrum, the old cure-all dofeted in 1921 and rejected bythe House so emphatically only A sw months ago, NOT LARGEST CROP , BUT REGORV QUALITY Better Varieties of Apples Predoltt- inate in Ontario This Season. -- Market Prospects Fair, Contrary to aireport of the Grow- ers' Conference n Toronto on Thura day, the present crop of apples, 00- cording to Percy Hodgetts of the Ontario Fruit Brandt, is not by any means the largest in the history of the Province. Such an impreaan'n is likely to have a bad effect on pric- es," said Mr. Hodgetts. "The larg- oft 1920, harvest when ,the totalaicrrowas that On- tario amounted to 3,257,500 bar- rels." This year the total production from farm and commercial orchards ire. ot .. will nTell one -Half the 1920.fig - Quality Quality the Best. "The quality of the crop, however, is the best we have ever had," report- ed Mr. Hodgetts. "The old, neglect- ed farm orchards are ceasing to be a factor, and the young commercial Plantations set out 15 to 20 years ago are now coming into full bear- ing. Spy, McIntosh, linow and other select varieties make these newer orchards, and help to account for the improvement in quality of crop this year. The remainder of that improvement may be traced to the excellent and consistent care these' orchards have had since they were set out. We would not like to see, the owners discouraged by low prices, for practically the first yield from, these new trees, as a result of bum- per crop talk. If prices do fall be low the cost of production I am' at. fraid that the good'caro will not be repeated next year." Market Outlook. When asked about market pros-• poets, Mr. Hodgetts was just a little dubious. "The overseas demand should be fairly good," he said' There is a short domestic crop in England and Central Europe. Orr the other hand, this outlet may be demoralized by shipments of low-- grade fruit from Nova Scotia. They have a big crop down there, but very little of it is clean, and most of this, whether clean or scabby, will oe shipped to Britain. That such will be the case is al- ready indicated by market reports from the Old Country. Graven- steins from Maine, which will likely be of the same quality as in neigh- boring Nova Scotia, are bringing from 54.85 to $7.09. This wide spread is un doubtely due to a wide range in quality. "We will probably cultivate the Prairie market this year,' continued Mr Hodgetts, "and should have' more chance there than usual, as the Bri'ci'sh Columbia crop, whale fairly good, is not mach over two-thirds of an average yield. The Iarger farm income in the West this year should mean a good' demand." Mr. Hod- etts pointed out, however, that there is eonsiderablb prejudice against - Ontario apples in the West because of shipments of low-grade stuff to that market a• few years ago. Quality in Bistain. Mt. Hodgetts asked The Globe to correct the impression in certain quarters that the quality of Ontario apples on the British market had de- clined in recent years. "It is gener- ally conceded in Britain," he 'said, "that -the Ontario apples are superior to. any other barrelled stuff with, the exception of that from Virginia." NO CHANGE OF PILOT When the Right Hon. Arthur Mei- ghen stated at Wingham inregard to the railway question: "I will stop these new capital railway investments with; a, strong: hand the first month I am in power," he omitted first of all .the qualifying "if". He is not yet in power, and further, he forgot to .tell his audience that additions to the rail- way debt under the King government were less than was added by the par- ty which holed prior to 1921. It could' scarcely have beett.expecte ed; that the Conservative leader would bring out this fact. This would have robbed his, fulminations of much of robustnessand vigor, for to do lvlr. Meighen justice, the more meagre his facts,the greater his vehemence.. Generalities lend themselves to genu- ine rhetorical outbursts. Like platin. Ludes,. they sound better than they are in fact, but it will take•more than mere sonority and rounded periods to win a general election,,particular- ly on a one plank program which has. been floated by the country and dis- credited in Parliament. Naturally he makes the tariff the issue. He has nothing else with which to go the people of Canada. Even his warmest supporters must agree that he ,holds a poor hand. Where can he look for support except. to tho die-hards and those Whose mot- to is: "My party, right or wrong."? Since 1921 the Liberal administra- tion has reduced expenditure by one hundred million dollars; brought down taxation to 7591 of what hat it was previously,and mare cost ofpcar duction lighter. The fact is we are paying for extravagant financing due ing the war and it will take every ounce of ability and courage to jet- tison 'this enormous deck load which has been left as a heritage to the Lib- eral party. But if the people realise their responsibilities W. L. Macken- zie Icing will enable them to keep their heads water. Our burdens must be lightened in every possible way if' we aro to take advantage of a period of proaperity which appeara to loom in the not far distant future, A Liberal • admiinietretlon which has done so mach in the past four years should be allowed to continuo its good work. A mere mania for chane does not justify' panting a- board the Canadian ship of State a new pilot, esppeciallyone whose nava- ation when in g orrice roves so generally discredited by the people of this coun» try.

CELEBRATION OF JEWISH NEW YEAR Yom, Kippur Most Sacred:- Day of the Year to Hebrews Saturday and Sunday, September 1'9' a nd'. 20, is the Jewish New Year of 5686, which was celebrated by the Jews everywhere. This sacred fes- tival is celebrated on the first and second days of Tishri, It is then fes- tivalof the New Year ,and while it is a time for refacing, it is also a period of'great solemnity. The Jews believe that on these days their ac- tions of the last year are reviewed by the Great Judge. The services in the synagogue are very impressive. The Shofar (ram's horn) is sounded many times to call attention to the duties and signfficance of the day, and to remind that the great day of atonement is drawing night This festival' is known by four names: New Year, literally head of the year; day of memorial; because God . calls to memory our faults and sins of the last year; day of judg- ment, for on these 'days we are on trial before the Judge of the whole earth; day of sounding the horn,be- cause we sound' the ram's born sev- eral times during the services in the synagogue. Tradition states that on the first day of Tishri the ram was offered instead of Isaac 'on Mount Morisale The tenth day of Tishri is yom kipper, the most solemn and sacred day of'the year. It is the dread' and impressive day of atonement from God for the transgressions of the last year. It is- a Sabbath of Sab- baths, and observed as strict fast, from sunset on the 99th' to nightfall on the 10th, a fast from which noth- ing- can release them except danger- ous sickness. • BLYTH PASTOR HEADS PRESBYTERY OF' HURON Flint Meeting of United Church Body Held at Minton.

It was founded by John Hunter, and contains the skeleton ot the Irish giant, O'Brien, which Hunter anatomized. O'Brien was in 1 dread. lest the anatomists should ob- tain. his body after his decease, and he arranged. that he should be sunk at sea, but Hunter, fa spite of that, secured him.
