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. MINOR LOCALS.

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. JOHN RANSFORD President Clinton Board of Trade Clinton, October 31st, 1912 - More Coal Is Cry Of .
