MR, McMILLAN REPLIES
TO ATTACK OF THE
• FARMERS' SUN
• "Since Sir 1Ylllhtm ltearst al-
located 45,000 per annum as sal-
• ary for the leader of the Opposi-
tion, there were a number of
Claimants- for the honor--if.not
the Money—at the Liberal con-
• vention held in Toronto last week,
of outstanding interest to the Un-'
ited Fanners of Ontario was the
candidacy of Mr, Thomas McMil-
lan, of Viuron County, •
Mr. McMillan was rather prom-
inent at the last U. F. 0. conven-
tion; and appeared on the platform
frequently during the discussions.
Ile is a brother of R. J. McMillan
one of the U. F, 0, leaders, but
apparently is still a Liberal of the
Liberals, and received eight •sup-
porting votes.
At any rate, while Mr, McMil-
lan was said to be absent from the
Liberal convention through illness, •
Mr. A. E. Bradwin, of Anprior,
said that he had ascertained that
Mr. McMillan "would be glad to
stand."
• This will come with surprise to
many people who saw Mr, McMil-
lan last December, and heard him
so frequently. There is room in
the United Fanners of Ontario for
everybody, but there is no room
whatever for party politics.
One wonders if it has entered
either the head of Sir William
llearst or any of the .aspirin,'
leaders rf the Liberal party that
if the premiership of the Province
is not vested in a United Farmer
candidate next fall, there is at
least a sir"n,; possibility of the
Oppnr!tirnn lacer's honorarium
going to one of their number„
—Farriers' Sun.
Mr. McMillan's Reply.
The !'clitur, the Frrmers' Sun; -1
trust you will give this reply the same
prominence in your columns which in
your last issue you gave the following;
"Thomas McMillan had eye on Opposi•
tion Leadership."
There is no truth in that report. No
one had any sanction or authority from
me to place my name in nomination
for the Liberal Leadership. I was not
present at the Liberal konvention. 1
was not unwell. I discouraged every
approach made to me re the Liberal
Leadership. 1 said not know my name
would be offered in nomination, nor
that . it had been so offered until 1
noticed the report in the same press,
whose veracity you have continuously
questioned through the columns of the
Farmers' Sun.
Why, through information from such
a source you should thus so wantonly
attack me, when the truth could have
been easily ascertained through the
medium of a postal, i am at a loss to
understand; and ,more particularly so
when the manager of our own Farmers'
Publishing Company knew from my
own lips that 1 had discouraged these
. approaches.
Apparently the old adage is still
true—"A man is not without honor
I save in his own country and more
particularly amongst his own kind,"
You say, "I am apparently still a
Liberal of the Liberals," the implica-
tion being that a man cannot consist-
ently be a member of the U. F. 0. and
a Liberal. Did you ever pause to
consider the .meaning of Liberalism?
Liberalism in politics, according to my
acceptance of the term, is a vital, liv-
ens principal of .action, which stands
;for liberty, justice, equality, progress
and fair play to every citizen, No
matter who may tarnish the name (and
'.it has been much tarnished in the
petty political life of Canada) the
principle of action still shines, By
,the way did it ever strike you that
;this is the very prinicple of action
for which the U. F. 0. stand. The.
hl F. 0. platform stands for equal
}ights to every citizen and special privi-
Ileges to none. and the glory of that
platform is, that it asks no special
favors for the fanning class, but de -
Mends equal opportunity to every cit-
izen. Then, where the inconsistency?
Whence the confliction of principle?
While I am quite willing to calmly
iiscuss this, I am not willing to allow
anybody to do my thinking or stam-
lede me in my political or other opin-
ons,
. You say again, "While there is room
n the U. F. 0, -for everybody, there is
eo room for party politics." What do
'ou mean? Explain yourself. Where
As party politics been, dragged into

"When 1 was boy," said George
Cohen, "our town was ravaged by an
unknown called Jack the Kisser. Jack
on dark nights would steal up on a
pretty girl, grab her round the waist,
snatch a kiss and run.
"One evening, a girl named ,Mayne,
was sneering about Jack the Kisser.
She said no elan could kiss a girl by
force. If she chose to prevent him
she could do so. But this contention
Harry Bellaire, a handsome young law-
yer, denied.
They argued it pro and con, and
then Harry said:
"Look here, 'Miss Mayme, you're
positive that,a !man can't kiss a woman
against her will,' and I'm equally posi-
tive -he can. .•Well, let's put it to the
test. Let's try the experiment."
"Mayme said she agreed that . that

Quebec Premier . To Be Extended
Courtesy of Post of Honor.
Ottawa, July 16.—Although no
official steps have been taken toward
the selection of a Chairman for the
National Liberal Convention, which
assembles here on August 5, it is
learned that a representative move-
ment is developing in favor of sel-
ecting Sir Lamar Gouin, Premier of
Quebec, to preside over the delibera-
tions of the gathering.
Those who advocate Sir Lomer's
selection recall that at previous
historic national convention of Lib-
erals, which assembled in Ottawa
on June 20, 1893, Sir Oliver Mowat,
Premier of Ontario, was named as its
Chairman. At this gathering, when
the young Frech-Canadian Roman
Catholic, Wilfred Laurier, was enthus-
iastically confirmed in the Liberal
Leadership, it was upon his motion
that the stalwart English-speaking'
Protestant at the head of the Govern-
ment of Otario teas chosen as Chair-
man. At the general election follow-
ing this convention Liberalism proved
triumphant at the polls.
Liberals in many parts of the Do-
minion are suggesting that, at the
coming convention, in which the un-
animous purpose is to select an Eng-
lish-speaking Protestant to succeed
Sir Wilfred Laurier in the Liberal
Leadership, the historic courtesy of
1393 should be reciprocated by plac-
ing the distinguished French-speak-
ing Catholic now at the head of the
Government of Quebec, in the con-
vention's post of honor,
Jesus Saves.
As child walking over a slippery
and dangerous path cries out, "Father,'
I am fulling l" and has but a moment
to catch his father's hand, so every
believer sees hours when only the hand
of Jesus comes between him and the
abysses of destruction.—Cuyler.
Wise in Time.
"Nine -tenths of our wisdom Iles in
being wise in time," says a great
statesman. As fee as results are con-
cerned, the wisdom that comes too
Irate is often little better than folly.
"If only I bad thought of It when the
chance offered, I might," Is the pre.
nude, to many of our useless regrets.

In the fight
With. Eczema
You Can Depend on Dr. Chase's
Ointment to Bring
Relief and Cure.
The obetlnacy of eczema is well
known. The rant that Dr. Chase's
Ointment has been able to sure In
even the most severe cases Is the
best proof of the extraordinary heal-
ing powers of this standard oint-
ment,
Cures such as are described in
these letters give you some idea of
what you may expect from thin
treatment,
Mrs. Frank Wadge, Midland, Ont.,
carates: `One of my boys had an
attack of eczema, and although I
'tried different preparations for this
trouble, as well as medicines from
four doctors, we could not get satis-
factory remits. Finally, I tried Dr.
Chase's Ointment, and from the first
I found It gave good results. We
used a good treatment of this oint-
ment, and in a short time the
eczema was cured. I have also used
the ointment with great success for
a roughness and rash on my face,
which caused me a great deal of
trouble. After applying Dr. Chase's
Ointment I found instant relief.
"I might also mention that Dr.
Chase's Catarrh Powder has proven
of great benefit to me. I had diffi-
culty with a stoppage in my nose
and head, but the Catarrh Powder
relieved it, and I have not been
'bothered in this way since,"
eters P. YL Veale, 19 William
street, Hamiltpn, Ont„ writes: I
can highly recommend DrChase's
Ointment, having used it with splen-
did results where all others failed.
My little girl, aged 33¢ years, broke
•out In small yellow blisters, which
turned into scabs. They came out
1.1 different places on her face, and
although I tried a great many salves
and ointments none of them did her
any good; I got a box of Dr. Chase's
Ointment, and after a few applica-
tions, I could see the effects of It.
Whenever I saw'a new spot appear-
ing I would apply the ointment, and
before the box was finished she was
entirely cured of those horrid sores,

THE CAUSE OF BACKACHE
Only in Roe Cases Does Backache
Mean Kidney Trouble,
Every muscle in the body needs
constantly a supply of rich, red blood
in proportion to the work it does.
The muscles of the back are under •t
heavy strain and have but little rest.
When the blood is thin they lack
nourishment, anti the result is a sen-
sation of pain in those muscles, Some
people think pain in the back means
kidney trouble, but the best medical
authorities agree that backache sel-
dom or never has anything to do
with the kidneys. Organic kidney
disease may have progressed to a
critical point without developing a
pain in the hack. This beng the
case, pain in the back should always
lead the sufferer to look to the con-
dition of his blood. It will be founts
in most cases that the use of Dr.
'Williams' Pink Pills to build tip the
blend will stop the sensation of pain
in the ill -nourished muscles of the
basic. HOW much better 11 is to try
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills Tor the blood
than to give way to unreasonable
alarm about your kidneys. If you
::aspect your kidneys, any doctor can
make tests in tan minutes that will
set your fears at rest, or tell you tate
worst. But In any event to he per-
fectly healthy you !rust keep the
blood in good condition, and for this
purpose no other medicine can equal
Dr, Williams' Pink Pills.
You can get these pills through
any dealer in medicine, or by mail at

'renting these few lines to let you know
how wonderful is the effect of Burdock

A SCRAP OF PAPER
BY ESTELLE M. TIDD
4,
!'he 11rst line the telephone .rang
that morning young Mrs. f3.— picked
up the receiver and heard the follow -
"'Nut you, Nell? Say, did you not-
ice a little folded piece of paper an
the hall floor after ! left? Didn't?
will you look, please; and, say, Nell,
!f you find it, don't look at It, please,
do you hear? It's a little bit private.
I'll hold the line. Flurry back."
'The paper was quickly found and
Nell rushed back to inform her lius-
bad of her success.
"Good! I don't want to lose that,"
was the reply. "Put it in the little
drawer in my desk, and you won't
look at it, will you, Nell? Promise."
"Awfully private, its seems to me,
but you needn't worry ! won't look
at your precious paepr. Good by."
She sat for a moment, regarding the
bit of paper with hostile eyes.
"Pretty fussy to call it a folded
piece of paper," she noised indignant-
ly. "Looks to me like a note— a re-
gular note,"
Presently there rushed in upon her
Julia D— her best and frankest
friend.
"Have you heard the latest?" she
demanded. "Sue 13— is here—
come 'Tuesday; she's gulag to stay a
month. She's . looking g nutgnificenl.
Funny she hasn't visited here since
your engagement to Finley was an-
nounced—over two years ago. She
used to be crazy about him. They
made the most stunning pair—every-
body turned to look. I wonder—"
she paused abruptly, then rattled on:
"Say, Nell, I wouldn't dare to marry
a handsome mann—you never can tell
—goodness, Nell, don't ever wear that
shade of blue again. You look five
years older in it,
Julia had just whirled Out when the
telephone rang again. Harley's sister
Lou wanted Nell's new recipe for egg -
less cake, and atter hearing it she con-
tributed her share to the morning's
budget,
"Whose car were yon nut in last
night at Plnetree Heights? After you
had whizzed by, breaking every speed
law ever made, 1 realized that one or
the men was Harley. It was so near
dark I couldn't recognize anyone else,
but t suppose you were along. You
certainly had a reckness person at the
wheel."
"I-1'11 tell you all about it later,
Lou, 1-1 think there's something
burning on the stove. Good by."
She hung up the receiver. Out at
Plnetree Heights last night, and he had
told her it was a business engagement
that had kept trim until 7.30. He had
been usually high-spirited during the
evening, and then alternately absorb-
ed in thought. She recalled the fact
now.
What could it mean? Miserably she
went about her work. She thought
incessantly of that arch -charmer. Sue
8— and the mysterious note, and
though she felt a wholesome distaste
in doing so, still she kept wondering
whether Sue B—and the note did or
did not belong together.
By 3 o'clock she felt that she could
bear it no longer. An impulse urged
her to call up Harley and say some-
thing—anything—on the chance that
he might offer some explanation, and
then she pictured the happy evening
that would follow. She'd put on her
old rose dress—he'd rather guess sine
didn't look 'five years older in that.
But when the response came it
brought the climax to her unhappy
day. They told her that her hus-
band was not at the office, 1•ie had
not returned since he went out to
lunch and had asked leave of absence
for the rest of the day.
Nell sat motionless for an instant.
The drawer containg the troublesome
paper was within reach of her hand.
She felt that in that paper lay the ex-
planation of all,
"No, I won't look at it," she assur-
ed herself. "1 said i wouldn't, and 1
won't -1 won't."
But before she had flnished speaking
her hand reached straight to the draw-
er, opened it and drew out the paper.
"All the rest of the day," she chok-
ed. I've got to live with this awful
note,"
Springing up, she crumpled it in her
hand.
"I know what I'll do. I'll burn up
the horrid tiring. Harley shan't have
it—nobody shall have it, and if it's
burned up I can't read it."
Lighting a match, she knelt before
the grate. She had just thrown down
the flaming scrap when the front door
banged and her husband entered the
roost, going straight to the desk in the
corner.
"Building a fire, Nell? Say, where's
that paper I phoned about?" His voice
was edged with excitement. "That's
important." ,
"Yes, of course—very important—
to you. Oh, I know all about it."

had some degree of honor, but I've
burned the horrible thing, and 1 did-

"What!" broke in Harley, "You
burned that paper --you silly—and
little you know what 1 was out to
i Pintree Heights for. That peachy lit-
tle bungalow out there, you know,
Noll, that we are both crazy about. I've
rented it, with a chance to buy it later,,
perhaps. We have a garden and chic-
' teens and help out on our bit, I was
! out there again this afternoon looking
the place over, and have cone back
now to take you there. And, listen
here. I've just brought another vic-
. tory bond, my biggest yet, for you this
ttme,.and the "horrible thing' you just
saw fit to burn up was the receipt for
the first payment. i was going to
give you a pleasant little bunch of sur-
' prises, and that was why' I told you
not to look at it,"
"Oh, Harley, how awful!" she wail-
ed, "You can't ever forgive me. there
was such distress in her face that Har-
tey's annoyance vanished.
"There now, partner, don't you
1 care," he soothed, "Nothing's really
1 lost; the hank's got the record, but
see here, Nell, don't ever go up in the
• air over shadows again. ! shan't ever
play any game without you for a part-
ner,"
