THE ELECTION In one of the most remarkable elec- tions ever ex-perienceol in Canada the Conservative Government of Sir William Hearst went down to over- whelming defeat in the Ontario elec- tions on Monday last. The Premier and all but two of his Galina, who were not elected by acclamation were among the defeated and of the strong following of 70 members who at be- hind Mr. Hearst in. the last Leg- islature, only some 25 remain. Nor are the Liberals to assume the reins of power, as the electors decreed on Monday that the old lines of party goVernment are for the time being, at least,not wanted. The largest single party in the new Legislature will be that of the United Farmers, who have some 46 elected members, but not enough, however, to • form a Government of their own. Moreover, the United Farmers have no recognized leader either in or out of parliament and only three of their members have had parliamentary ex- perience. This, however, is not an insurmountable difficulty. There is no question but that thereeare just as good and capable men among the farmers as there are in either of the old parties, and having been success- ful at the polls, they should reap the fruits of this success. It is expected that the Farmers and Laborites will join forces., which will give them a working majority in the House, and this is the most logical eolution of the unprecedented election outcome. The Farmers will not care to ally themselves with either of the older parties, nor is it likely that either of the ohler parties would care to join them., because having the greatest following in the House they would insist not only on a majority of Cabinet Membets, but in dominating the policy of Government. and this domination without assuming the re- •sponsibility of Leadership would scarcely appeal to either Liberal or 'Conservative. It is too early as yet to say- what form the next Government will take, but the expectation is that it will be a U. F. OeLabor` one. THE REFERENDUM The last figures issued gave the fol- lowing result as far as received for the whole province: Yes No Majority 1, 233,874 . 508,809 284,935' 2. 245,802 1479,511 233,709 •3. 235,193 '493,887 258,694 4. • 277,580 453,245 1,75,665 it will be seen from the above that .on the -first ciuestion the dry vote ap- proaches 70 per cent. of the total vote and thaton question our in which it stood lowest. proportionately it a- mounted to 60 per cent. of the total. The vote in favor ef prohibition is thus equal tc that fermerly required - to carry Iocal option. ANOTHER LITTLE - ORPHAN Ottawa. Och 23.—Of emirse Parlia- ment could say nothing-abeut gratuities • or the bone-dry bills until Premier Heart's little trouble was over so the Grand-Truak bargain came as a good • subject te chew 011.

In the same. breath Sir Thernas prophesies that there will - be another loan besides the :one ad-- • ready afoot which means that inside twelve months we,shall be borrowing five hundred million .dollars to pay for a peace demobilization which should cost net more than half of war effort. Folloaing- out Sir Thomas' frank higic—which by the way has already thrown a chin into the current Victory Loan—it allowable to surmise that if this country cannot afford to pay from four hundred -million to a billion dollars to the soldiers in 'gratuities neither -ran it afford- to take over a railway which will cost us in interest and principal about two hundred and :. forty-five million dollars not -counting settlements which win :cost perhaps two hundred million dollars more. One, way and anether the Grand. Trunk -deal nromises to set is back five hun- dred million dollarsand where we are to get the oirony, heaven melt.- knows. It's a cinch that Union Government has no idea how its going to raise tke wind• . Loans present and to come will • soon make our war debt two million dollars, which means in interest a- lone not to mention the sinking fund to retrieve these bonds within twenty years—an addition to our current ex- penditure of ten hundred. million dol- lexs a year. We are told en high authority that it will cost font hundred million dol- lars to put the C. N. R. in shape and it is not unreasonable to sup- pose That the other railways, which have become a public chargewill take another two hundred millions to bring them up to mark as mod- ern carriers. In sit years, if public ownership behaves as it is doing right now the railways: will have run be- hind three hundred million dollars in accumulated deficits. This brings our prospective railway burden up to a- 1 bout a billion and a half dollars What then? Do we refund our dom.- estic loans say it three, or two, or even one per 'cent., or de' we repudiate? Our annual revenues outeide of the railways, is at present two hundred and eighty million dollars. Our an- nual obligations' for some years ' to come, threatento be .seven hundred. million dollars. How are we •going to tut our cloth ' to make the coat fit? Can it be done at all? All of which is to say that just now is a bad time to bring down an- other half-baked public ownership railway deal—to take another little beggar into the poor house who will be like Oliver Twist and keep crying for "more." These orphan railways cost us a lot of money and all they seem willing to de aftr they drop into our arms is to be. fed. The Transcontinental and the C. N. R. • and the Grand Trunk Pacific were our misfortunes. They Were left on our doorstep so to speak -L --take youX brats • —but the G. T. R. Is our own fault. We reached for it. , As soon as we get it we can de- pend on its falling asleep. The Can- adian Snorethorn has clone it already. Likewise the •Trancecontinental and the Grand Trunk Soporific. The rail- ways are the only ones that can afford to sleep—the taxpayers have to keep awake to find the money. And speak- -ing of. sleep why doesn't the enter- prising Canadian .Northern manage- ment of the GanadiEm National Rail- ways give us blankets that will cover our shoulders and our feet at. the same time? However, let that pass —there are graver things to be dis- cussed. 1 own •to a leaning toward public ownership of railways if only politics can be kept out of them, but Chairman Frank Carvell of the Railway Com- mission is authority for the state= ment that the Almighty himself could net keep politics out �f a Government railway. 1 am also convinced that publie ownership of railways is a good thing for the public if the Govern- ment owns all the railways and can run them for service rather than for profit. That -would mean that. the Government 'would have to own. the C. P. R. too—instead of the C. P. R. owning the Government as has been the case in the past—and I am afraid there is not much chance of that. As matters stand at present, the C. P. R. being a far more solvent institution than the Government in Canada there is a better prospect of the C. P. R. buying out the Government railways than of the Government buying out the C. P. R. Not to put too nice #• point on it where would the gov- ernment find another billion to bily the C. P. R.? - The warmest admirers of public ownership—of wh.orn I am one—can- not but adrait that since. the Govern- ment took our certain railways the operating 'expenses and the freight rates have gone up and the service has gone down. The freight rates went up because the 'Government rail- ways needed the money. The C. P.• R. didn't need the money but it reap- ed the benefit. The Ct P. R. is rich, and as the Bible says; to him that bath shall be given. The only way the Government could think of to pi around the difficulty of making the G. P. R. richer at the expense of the other railways was to ask the C. P. Reto hand over that extra fifteen per cent. of found money. Up to date I have not heard of the C. P: R. doing any such things. One can hard- rly -blame it for balking at such an unfair tax on good nianagement. It may be that the executive of the Canadian National Railway seeks to demonstrate that public ownership is a'lemon. I notice that Sir Willlam Mackenzie and Mr. Z. A. J.A.sh are frequently in Ottawa to see how‘ Mr. Hanna is getting along. On the other hand they may be doing' the best they can. But best or worst the re- sult threatens to be the same. After, say, three hundred million dollarsfof accumulated deficits the people may tire of their costly -plaything and say, "Sell out." In that case the Govern- ment which has been so "busy getting" together this nOst of bad eggs, may either hold a public auction and sell to the highest bidder or ask a regener- ated Canadian Northern. outfit to take the bad bargain off its hands .for the amount ef the ,deficits and say tw6 hundred million dollars to boot. - The C. • P. R. might also be willing to buy oh these terms but I doubt if the Government would sell, its object being, since publie ownership had failed, to give the C. P. R. a little healthy competition.• At all events it would arpear . from this angle that Government ownership is sowing for somebody else to reap, and perhaps: Canada, staggering under her load of debt, _will find that the..best way out of it. It is true that the Grand Trunk bargain postpones ultimate payment for thirty years, meanwhile . guaran- teeing dividends such as the share- holders never enjoyed before, but this is a sort of Wilkins 1.Nlicawber finance whieh considers the debt paid when the n.ote is signed.. Any Government that -expects to retrieve two billion loilars' worth of war bonds in taienty .Vearsand then after a ten, years' breathing spell pay for another reil- way shows a great deal more hope than common sense. Meanwhile we shut our eyes to the feet that men of Canada were able to pay for the Grand Trunk at the end of thirty year, the United States Government might say No. How is it possib1.4 for the Gov- roanent of Canada to hwn a railway n the United States, where 'elle most rofitable part of. the Grand Trunk les? Such a paradox as one govern- ment permitting another foreign gov- ernment to own a railway within its territory is against all national law and precedent. I do not believe that we could even make a "corridor" ar- rangement with Uncle Sam. Mr. Meighen does -not - mention this raat- ter at all.—H. .F. G. , WORKLESS LABOR (Continued from last week.) When the opportunity came, the Russian workmen turned out the Old management.of the factories and put M boards of managers made up of their own number, who would conduct the business from the point of view of those who, doing' the work, claim- ed the right to fix the terms of their own employment Wages were raised. and hours of labor shortened. Of course production decreased and. prices arose, but that trifling incident was met and provided for by further- raise in wages, celebrated by still shorter lipurti of labor, and things,went mer- rily as a marriage bell—for a time. 'Ultimately production dropped so near to nothing that the bubble could float 'no longer, and factory after factory closed until some ninety per cent. of Russia's producing power was idle. Nothing was doing, nothing was getting made; but the people were happy, for the had plenty of money and were not obliged to work as in the -old, hard days. What if a suit of clothes did cost a thousand dollars in Moscow and hard to find at that! Let them worry about that whose elothes were worn out. Great times had come; the secret of easy living had been discovered. High, wages and short hours, ,or better, bone at all. And then the cat jumped out of the bag, for the farmer in substance told the ex -workmen plainly -that since they had quit making clothing he had to make his own out of sheepskins or such other, material as he could pick up; that since factories had stopped making furniture the farmer must make his own; indeed, that there was no longer much of anything that could be bought with money, and so money had become worthless.. The wheat was better, for that could be eaten. Whereupon the Bolshevist ex -work- men, not inclined to starve, took the wheat without pay, and quite natural iy the farmers decided that next -year they Would raise only as much wheat as theyerieed.ed for their own consump- tion. And there you have it flat, the conclusion of the whole matter. Such, literally, is the best inform.. tion. that comes to us from Russia, where high' wages andshorthours have destroyed the buying power of money. If the farmers of Russia carry out their plan—and why should they not ?—then the Russian work - 'men, however their pockets may bulge with money, will have lean stomachs nntil they .go back into the factories and make the Money good by produc- ing semethigg that . can be bought with it. or else they will be forced to become farmers, themselves and raise their own wheat. In this way 'does industrial foolishness lead direct - lye either to famine or to farming. When it is pointed out that the • American farmer has never had a decent wage the hearer is incredulous; but when convinced of the truth of the statement he throws up his hands, exclaiming: "What a fool!" . Not at all. Until about the open- ing of the present century the farmer has been working not for money but for land, and land was cheap. Show the author where really high-grade land can be bought for a dollar an acre and he will willingly work for ten cents a day until it is paid for, and so- would any farmer. This is not a distorted illustration, for the most of our timber lands now in fame were originally purchased at a dollar and twenty-five cents, and most of the prairie lands at fifty Cents an acre. Most of the lands that have been re - bought by actual farmers changed hands at ten, twenty, and rarely a- bove thirty dollars an acre, the pres- ent "going price" being set by men already well-to-do and not expecting to earn it by the slow process -of the daily compensation. But now whoever sets out, to ac- quire a farm and a home by the labor of his hands must first work for money, and whoever has invested in lands at present prices must make them pay or see his capital shrink: Therefore the farmer has begun to keep books and to reckon his affairs in terms of dollars instead of acres. The old days of cheap food have pass- ed with the old days of cheap lands, never to return. A new day dawneth; a new order cometh. From now on the farmer must reckon his inconv in dollars. He no longer serves the world gratis for the home he hopes to have. • -As man to man the American' farm- er is wholly sympathetic with the de- termonation of the American laberer to to live the life of a typical citizen. And he realizes, as 'fully as only the .one can who has always worked for himself and not for another, some- thing of the struggle and the battle that the professional laborer has wag- ed and rnust wage to secure and to mainbain his elemental rights from employers and from the public, both of whom are somewhat naturally in- tent upon service at the lowest ob- tainable rate. The laborer, may agree to all 'this but still he will say: "What am 1 to do, and how am 1 to keen up with the increasing cost 'of the things I buy?" As the farmer sees it, the answer' to this questign is obvious: What we need is some adequate yardetick where 'with to rneasure wages and whereby to admonish ourselves before we reach the danger point in wage increase. The yardstick is food. It must be remember d that in his long struggle the -laborer has had all of hie experience up to date with cheap food produced at a ridiculously low re- turn to the farmer as measured in money. He, therefore, like the -farm- er, has been. exploiting cheap lands which are now well-nigh exahusted.. The real question is: What, is a day's- work worth? What yardstick can measure it? There may be rhanY, but there is no better one than that whieh will ultimately measure all in- dustry; namely, what can a man pro- duce out of the land by the aid of machinery and the free gift of Na- ture's mighty forces? • Of course wages can always be forced artificially hi'gh in the produc- tion of luxuries, for 'their cost is never Prohibitive to the wealthy, but the inomentthe production of lux- uries is forced to an extreme it draws labor Away from the land and auto- matically operates to *raise the cost of food. - The only measure of labor is the quantity mid the quality of the thing produced, and without production raoney loses all value. It is oblivious- ness to these fundamental facts that is slowly 'driving all Europe to the same precipice over wbich Russia tumbled headlong, and unless We of his country keep our senses we shall ollow. We have plenty of money, but that ,fat Will not feed us, and Hoover is right when he says_ that Europe must go to work or statve. It is only common sense to point out that 'high wages, ghat haus and cheap food are absolute incompatibles. We have just won a great military and industrial victory. It is because those who went out to fight really fought like tigers and everybody else worked like slaves. What next? Germany will go to work; the Con- ditions of the Peace Treaty will coin- pel it. But,what about the rest of us? If we stop new to celebrate; if we forget that doubling our money will of itself mean high prices; „if we forget that,. regardless of money, wages or prices, we • must produce whatever we would consume or ha.ve left over to sell; and if we forget that we, too, have a war debt to work out tothe tune of something oVer two hundred and fifty dollars per capita, all at interest—if we forget these things while Germany even under eompulsion really goes to work, as she must, thee she will have won the war. It was an industrial war from the outset. Let us, therefore, harbor no delusions, as between wages, prices and production. The one who pro - dupes most will be the best off, just as the farmer who labors most faith- fully and intelligently will grow the best crops. We have won the first step toward victory. Have we the - nerve and the vision to finish the job g—By E. Davenport.

Presentation to Rev. D. Carswell.— The congregation of Duff's church, McKillop, met on Wednesday evening to do honor to their pastor, R,ev. D. Carswell, who has labored faithfully among them • for the past sixteen years. During the evening an ad- dress was read by Mr. M. Murdie and Mr. R. Habkirk presented the pastor with a well filled purse, and ,Miss Elizabeth Henderson presented his family each with a beautiful present. It was a memorable Meeting. • Mr. Carswell made an excellent reply, al- so Miss Jean Carswell. They recalled the pleasant days spent in the com- munity and also the many kindnesses received. Dr. Larkin, of Seaforth, was present and spoke in an agreeable manner of his cordial relations to the pastor and people of Duff's church. An excellent supper was served in the basement. The following- is the, ad- dress: Dear Mr. Carewelk--On the eve of your departure froni our midst we have met here this evening to give sincere, even if inadequate expression to the place you hold in our hearts. Well do we remember when you enter- ed into the pastorate of this congrega- tion of Duff's church and Caven church, Winthrop, sixteen years ago, and -now at the close of this pastorate we thank God that • we were privileg- ed to have you as the spiritual shep- herd to ourselves and our loved ones. Under your. ministry we have 'been made to feel that you were one who dwelt much in the secret place ofthe most highliAhat God had speken to yourself by his word and spirit before you came into the presence of the people.' In the pulpit you declared the counsel of God with fulness, fervor • and unction; and outside the pulpit you never failed to magnify your sacred office. Besides being a spirit - filled messenger of the truth as it is in Jesus you have endeared yourself to us as friend, helper, adviser and leader. In hours of bereavement, loneliness and sickness you were a wise and faithful representative of the great physician, having a rare gift to comfort and strength. With yourself we must include another, the 'beloved partner of your life, now gone. With great affection do we think of Mrs. Carswell, so beautiful in her motherliness, so loyal a wife, so whole hearted as a christian, so devoted to our interests and to the cause of the Divine Master. • Also this word of farewell would be faulty did- we omit an appreciative reference to your family—your daughters, Jean and Helen, and ybur son, Gordon. Towards them our regard and good will are €leep and lasting, and we rejoice with you in their splendid promise for the 'future. We ask you to accept this purse as an expression of our love and loyalty, and at the same time the choir and lady workers ask Jean, Helen • and Gordon to -accept another form of gift as a reminder of a comradeship in happy christian service that we will always treasure in recollection. We pray God's blessing to rest upon you and yours in the days to come, and as a parting word we wish to assure you of the glad welcome that shall await yourself or any member of your family whenever you may -find it convenient to pay a visit to this neighborhood of sacred memories, wihere you have been a vessel unto honor during sixteen eventful .and fitful years. momleiara HENSALL House For re.—Good, comfortable brick house, almost n w. good location. 2 -lots, one planted in fruit.

Cook Bros., Heniall,v Ont. 2703- Briefs.—Monday last voting or elec- tion day was a very busy one in our village was the largest number of votes ever recorded at a polling booth or booths was recorded here and as there were three candidates to vote fer- besides the referendum the ex- citement and interest throughout the day was very keen, and the ladies were well in evidence, taking a great interest in the proaeeding, particularly hi, the matter of the referendum, and the very large vote polled in the inter- ests of it, nearly five to one in its favor, was largely due to the ladies votes. In the matter of votes to th,e party candidates, Mr. Ellerington p61 - led considerably the largest vote from the village, Mr. Morgan coming next and well up in figures and. Mr. Hicks vote was not large. The contest throughout and voting was all done very good naturedly and hi t161 even - twice what we had before the war, 1 ing a large union meeting was held in, the toi,vn hall to receive the reports. Great interest was .manifested in the returns as they came in and which proved (II:lite-a surprise to all parties„ as no one seemed to have 'figured any- thing near to what the results proved, evidencing the statements made by the late Sir John A. McDonald long ago that the three most uncertain events were, "An election .conteste "a horse race" and "life itself,"—On Wednes- day last the Hay township Sabbath, School Convention was held, in Carmel Presbyterian church. The attendance at both the afternoon -and evening ses- sions was large, and great interest manifested. The chief speaker was Aev. P. F. Fletcher of Toronto, who gave most interesting and valuable addresses, emphasizing the importance of having trained men and women as Sabbath school teachers. He also gave a very -interesting talk on "The Cradle Roll" and "Home Depart- ments." The choir of Carmel church added much -to the pleasure and interest of the occasion, and Mr. Medd, of Centralia, also gave an address on the work of the Sabbath school, while Miss A. Consitt, the secretary -treas- urer, gave a most interesting report which was of great interest -to the convention, dealing as it did with the work and progress made. The con- vention has, reason to feel proud and grateful for the very efficient services of their secretary -treasurer. The ladies attending also added in a very enjoy- able manner to the pleasure of the occasion by providing nice refresh- ments. It has been said that there - are two very excellent women in the world, the one giving' you a "tract" and the other a "bowl of' soup," and the writer has great regard for the last mentioned. Judging by the hearty - manner in which the good things were disposed of there are others who are not indifferent to the good things of 'life.

Harburn, florist, of this village. when his eldest daughter, Miss Sarah Lavine., was united in marriage to Mr. Maurice Tay Johnston, son of Mr. Charles Johnston, of Varna, a re- turned soldier from overseas with a much coveted badge. The ceremony was performed at high noon by the Rev. Dr. Medd, of Main Street Meth- odist church, Exeter, assisted by Rev. Fred L. Harburn, of Lina, New York State, an uncle of the beide., The happy couple' were united under an arch of maple leaves, ornamented by Union Jacks and Stars and Stripes. The wedding march was played by Miss Renee Leary, ef Parkhill, a cousin of the bride. Little Jeer; Johns- ton, sister of the groom, was ring bearer. The groom's present to the bride was a beautiful brooch set with pearls, and to the ring bearer, a gold locket and chain and to the pianist a gold pin set with pearls. The bride looked charming in Duchess satin and. georgette crepe and silk embroidered veil and orange blossoms, and carried a bouquet of Richmond roses. After th.e ceremoOn.y the bridal party re- paired to the dining room, which was nicely decorated, where a sumptuous dinner was served. Guests were pre- sent from Ehnira, London, Parkhill, Michigan State, Seaforth, Varna, Ste -ft, Cromarty and New York State. A number of girl friends of the bride very nicely assisted at the dinihg table. The bride was made the re- cipient of a number of beautiful pres- ents,. including substantial cheques. The bridal party motored to -the depot and the happy couple took -the even- ing express to Flint City, Michigan, their new home, and where the groom has a viry handsome Bungalow. The 'brides traveling dress was a suit of navy gabardine with hat to match. A large number assembled at the train to see the young couple off and to wish them all kinds of happiness in their new home, SHOES QUALITY We wish we could put sufficient cm- phasis into this ad. to induce every WO. man to come here to see oar displsy of New Fall Shoes --just to see them, They represent thoroughly the Best Shoes the Best Makers can produce.
