A Square Deal For.Every fiery Man, .:
One Year' As Leader,
`; Much Bas `Been Qone
Provincial Politics Assume a New
Aspect as Result of Fresh
Vigor of Party.
_
It is
perhaps not known, to' many
that when Mr. N. W, Rowell was' ask-
ed to accept the leadership of the
Liberal party in this Province the pro-
posal was
ro-posalwas made to him that the party
would provide a salary which would
in a measure recompense him' for
the sacrifice' which he would be
called upon to make. This , pro.
posal' Mr. •newel'. without a mo-
ment's hesitation, declined,- insisting
that any public service he might 'ren-
der, if he accepted the position of lead-
er of the Opposition, should be with.
out any personal compensation -to-
himself, and that much. - as . he ap-
preciated the generous offer. he would
not put himself in a position where
even he himself might feel that he was
under even the slightest obligation to
the party or any member of the party:
Mr. Rowell therefore, in addition to
his public service, still devotes the
greater part of his time to the prat-
Lice of his own profession, as it is
well known he cannot afford to make
the sacrifice which he would be com-
pelled to do, by giving up any coesid-
erable portion of his private practice,
What He Has Accomplished
In view of the fact that Mr. Rowell
has entered upon his second year as
leader a review of what- has been ac-
complished in the first year is inter -
The place which the Liberal party,
under Mr. Roweli's leadership, has
given in their proem rn to social fines•
tions, such as curtailing. the evils of
the liquor, traffic, reform in land tax-
ation, workmen's conpensation, the
fight against tuberculosis and for pub.
iie health, the decline in' rural pope
' gr
lation the
growth of congested areas
in ourcities, the hours of labor of
working men, has forced to the front
the consideration of the whole social
.problem in a way that it has never
been pressed to the front in this Peo-
vince before. The fight for better
conditions of life and labor for the
masses of the people is in line with
the best traditions of British Liber-
alism,
The exposition made hy Mr, Rowell
and his colleagues of the autocratic
and unconstitutional methods now
being pursued by SirJarnes Whitney
has recalled the struggle tlrough
which they passed to secure the right
of responsible government,
Tne Cause of New Ontario
Mr. Rowell and his colleagues have
manifested a deep and intelligeut ire
terest in the whole problem of the
opening up and settlement ofNorthern
and North-western Ontario, This
territory was woe for Ontario by the
heroic efforts of Sir. O,iver elowat and
his colleagues. It was explored and
opened up for settlement by himself
en 1 hie successors, Mr. Hardy and Sir
Coe wee Ross, Apathy and indifference
to the development and settlement of
Northern Ontario is charged against
the present Govern mao 1, e en by such
supporters as the Toronto Telegram,
To the efforts of Mr.Rowell and his
colleagues must be largely traced the
advance move made by the Govern
rnent during the present year. .The
visit to Northern Ontario last sum-
mer of representative Liberals was a
new and important departure in the
lr. litical life of the Province.
The opposition offered by Mr,Rowell
and his colleagues to the proposal of
the Government to transfer thel3.ydro-
Electric development, wbich is a great
trust for the municipalities of the
Province, to the control of a Cabinet
Minister, where it would he subject
to the spoils and patronage systems,
forced the Government to abandon the
proposal.
Tbe proposal of Mr., Rowell for the
abolition of the bar has forced Sir
James Whitney to recognize that ad•
vanned legislation is necessary and
has brought forth his anti -treating
proposal
The proposal for an eight-hour day
for underground miners has compelled
the Government to appoint a com-
mission to investigate the matter. and
it is hoped will result in legislation
during the coming session,
Their pressing ,on the attention' of
the Legislature and the country the
importance of the battle against tuber
culosis and the promotion of public
health has assisted in compelling ;the
Government to make an'importaet ad
vance in this imatter by the legislation
of last session.
Mr. Rowell's advocacy of reform in
lend taxation has been at least effec
Live to this extent, that the Govern
went has appointed a committee to
investigate the matter.
During the year Mr. Rowell has won
the loyal and enthusiastic support of
all his colleagues in the Legislature
and has awakened in the Liberal party
throughout the Province a new epirit
of optimism and courage.
Interest in I er"
mp gal Affairs;
Mr, Rowell has not only devoted his
thought and attention to these matters
of Provincial concern, but his address
at the Borden banquet, his address to
the students of University College on
"Canadian Autonomy and' Imperial
Uoity," and his address at the Empire
Club last week on 'The Imperial. Con
ference and the Ooromittee of Imperial,
Defence." are evidences of the, deep in
terest he takes in all matters of Ina
perial concern.

County, ...
Huron County Citizens, Board's of
Trades and Councillors are awakening
to "the need of . advertising iRurcn
County and a public meeting has bean
celled for Thursday afternoon,) Not a
ember 21st, at Clinton to discuss; was s
and 'means promotion an advertisii g

The meeting will be open to anyone
who may desire to attend and will Le
cordially welcoined.
We -hope 'there will be a good
attendance.
Following is the circular that hos
bsen sent to all Boards of Trade and
Councils: -
It is -a well known fact that the
population in the County of
Huron is decreasing. In 1901
the population was 61820. In
11911, 52983 or a loss equal to 15
per cent. This is a serious con-
dition of affairs. It affects the
well doing of the whole County.
It tends to depreciate the values
of farming nin landand town pr
o-
1
po
1 perty. In the opinion of experts,
the land in the County of Huron
to -day is purchasable at a price,
that makes it the cheapest land
in Canada,coursetaking , of tak ng its
quality into consideration.
The value of advertising is con-
ceded by all. It has been deemed
a wise policy and an opportune
time to advertise the County of
Huron, and in that way endeavor
to direct a part of the stream of
immigration, and consequent
wealth, that is pouring into Cali-
ada to -day, into our own County.
In order to stir up public in-
terest, to fully discuss the subject
and to arrive at the best way
of carrying it into effect, a meet-
ing of representatives from all
over the County has been called
to be held in the Town Hall,
Clinton; on Thursday, November
21st at 1 p. in. sharp to which
your honorable body is hereby
requested to send one or more
delegates. Will you kindly in-
timate as soon as possible what
attendance we may expect from
you.
