Hon. Mackefl4 'icing when the latter addressed than at the annual picnic of the. South Zeilex Liberal As- sociation and laid, befrne them what had been done by baa'government ,in the seven months it- had held office and what hie governi» ant was striv- ing to do in the 'immediate future. The Premier, and skis Hon. Geo. P. Graham, member fortSouth Essex, and Minister of Nati. nal Defence, and Fernand Rinfret, 1¢ember for St. James' Division ofMQntreal, were greeted by a crowd over 2,000 Liberals when they wed at Leam- ington, and the Prime, Minister was in good lorm when be arose to ad- dress the large audience. Before the picnic, the visitors,. with Senator Mc- Coig, were tendered a reception by the Leamington Board of Trade, and at night they were guests of honor at a banquet given at Kingsville. It was a big day for South Essex, * * M One of the imports t announce- ments of the Prime Minister was that the Board of Management of the Canadian, National Railwaya would be appointed at an early date. Deal- ing with the personnel of that Board the Premier stated that the first qualification of the men to be chosen would be that they Were not engaged in any business selling to the rail- ways. In previous speeches by him- self and other members of the present government party, it will be rememb- ered that it was pointed out that the old Board was composed of men who were connected with industries nearly all of which were selling different materials to the railways or to the steamship companies which these gentlemen had been chosen by the Conservative government to direct. The government, Mr. Ring stated, had decided to take the railways en- tirely out of politics and the first step was change of managetltcnt so that the whole system could have uniform- ity of administration. The men who were to form the new Board must have no private in- terests in any way conn eted with the sale of materials used b: the rail- ways in any way. Much sv old also depend upon the choice rat a chair- man, who must be a railvt:'yman of experience on a continental -:ale. He must also he a financier of high ability and one without other outside interests to conflict with Id- service to the government railwey system. That the government w:, not allow- ing itself to be hampered by any narrow localism in i:ing such a pian was indicated by Ile -Prime Min- ister when he said that to get such a man with the cxperi,•i:ee and char- acter necessary the government might have to look elsewhere,- but he be- lieved the people would approve the government's course in getting tting a matt of the type required. * Mr, King also intimated that Can- ada was prepared to consider reci procity with the United States at any time the government at Wash- ington made the overture. ti On this point he said there cool,' be no doubt that the Progressive movement in Western Canada owe, its origin to the defeat of recipmeity and that the West more, perhops, than any other part of the T)m ,:,, on had suf- fered from the loss of the wider markets which the defeat of that policy had rendered inevitable All parts of the country have suffered and ate suffering through the mistake made in 1911. There is only one way to seek to retrieve defeat or undo error, and that is to try to regain the ground that has boon lost. It was this motive which led lion. Mr. Fielding to visit Washington almost immediately after the formation of the government. It was obviously in the interests of all that asst' neighbors to the south be made aware of the significance of the changing of gov- ernment in Canada, and should know that we are ready and twilling to co- operate with them at any time on matters of mutual ceneern and that if through a course of action on their part which nigh' seem preju- dicial to our interests we were oblig- ed to seek markets and trade in other directions, it was due to no lack of neighborliness or neighborly feeling on our part. The Premier stated that when his government was returned to power his first thought was 10 restore the representative character of the ad- ministration, which had become non- representative under Sir Robert Borden and Right lion. Arthur Meighen. The late government when it went out of office had three of its important cabinet ministers, the Min- ister of Soldiers' Civil Re -Establish- ment, the Minister of T.ahour and the Postmaster General in the Senate, where they were not representative of the people. This condition he had changed. He also had the task of making the government properly representative of the various sections of the coun- try which was a more difficult task. The result of the election was to Produce, with the exception of New Brunswick and British Columbia, an almost solid, Liberal seat and a Pro- gressive west, with the forces in Ontario divided. If his friends of the Liberal east had desired to show resentment to the. Progreasives,they had the opportunity, but there was no tfuch spirit, and the inclusion in the cabinet of Hon. Messrs. Mother- well and Stewart was, he thought, a U. F. •0. PICNIC The Mitchell U. F. 0. Club will hold a Picnic in Keterson Park, Mitchell • On Friday Afternoon, Aug. 25th Hon. E. C.

He admitted that in forming his cabinet he made overtures to the Progres- sives and offered them representation therein, but at that time they did not feel inclined to accept this offer. however, there was no hostility be- tween the Liberals and Progressives; on the contrary, the attitude of the Progressive members had been one of cordial co-operation all through the session, and he felt that tit.?close of the stssion found the government more strongly established in the I'rcgressive confidence. "I never favored a coalition," said the Premier in referring to the offer made to the Progressives, "but I felt that the West should be represented and, therefore, I offered them seats in the cabinet." - The broad-mindedness and toler- ance of the Province of Quebec had been illustrated by the election of Hon. Mr. Stewart by acclamation in Argenteuil. From a representative standpoint he thought the present government would be found to compare favour- ably with any in the past. The gov- t rnment's policy, he claimed, had al- ways boon to act in accordance with the wish of the people and he frank ly admitted that on matters where they were not just sure of their pos- ition they got the public afttittydc fast before they acted. No taunts or leers from the Opposition would (11001 them to change their policy in this regard. The past session had clone much to demonstrate that third parties were 0 production of Tory- ism. "Much has been said of recent years of third parties and their place in the politics of our country," said Mr. King. "1 believe the session of Parliament just concluded has gone far to demonstrate a truth that is outstanding in our political history, namely, that third parties come into being under Tory rules and malad- ministration. There was no third party in the days of Alexander Mac- Kenzie; was no third partyin Mac- Kenzie; there the clays of Laurier. It was under Sir John Macdonald, Sir Robert Bor- den and Mr. Meighen that third parties, either as Patrons of Industry, Grangers, United Farmers, Grain Growers, or Progressives, came into evidence in the federal arena. "The sequence in most cases is wholly natural. Toryism is sine to breed discontent, and 'discontent al- ways gives birth to some new and first ultra -radical organization. Lib- eralism, if true to itself, will seek out the causes of discontent, and endeav- or to remove then, and by thus go- ing to the root and the source of the trouble will seek to remove the di- visions that exist between forces that ought to be united "It is in this spirit and with this larger aim in view that the present Liberal administration has deliber- ately sought out and as adequately deliberately sought to remove causes of political unrest which have brought into being as an entity distinct from Liberal that large body of opinion that describes itself as a Progres- sive hut which, if the words have any meaning at all, are alternative expressions for one and the same at- titude." There was no need to split the forces of democracy and it was a mistake to have them divided, for "I want to see Toryism always where it is now, in Opposition and the forces of democracy enthroned in /power," he said. The Premier then stated that when the Liberal Government found that Canadian cattle were shut out of the United States market they went to work to secure the removal of the embargo imposed by the British Government and he believed their ef- forts in this line would soon Ibc suc- cessful. Negotiations had also been opened looking to the restoration to the western provinces of the control of their natural resources. These had been interrupted and would soon be resumed. WHAT ARE THEY GIVING US? Dear Expositor.—In the last issue of The Expositor I noticed a letter signed by J. Thomas Wilhide, and with your permission I will make a few comments. He tells of a Jap who put a coil of tea into a little cup. I have seen a coil of rope and hundreds of coils of hay, but a coil of tea never but let that go. He says it made aim feel jnd happy. Had 6e kake a couployouse oaf coils and a larger ;cap Gia bapptmeea. would, no doubts; bavei•been eom-ptieete. Oh, now Tenon ,. sotsle of the greatest lovers, of tea 1 ever met refused cream and sugar. They said it spoiled the flavor of the tea. • He says tea is manufactured. I always have had the impression that it was the leaf of a plant dry,Vid prepared for use, something .the iranie ' as a farmer prepares his hay for the barn, and any person who will say that the farmer manufactures his'hay should have his address changed to 999 Queen Street, Toronto. For the benefit of your younger readers 1 might say that the Lunatic Asylum is situated there. There is no cream and sugar, put on tobacco, and yet a large majority of the people, Christian, Jews and Mahomedans use it and don't want to be without it. J think, Thomas, that yod will admit that tobacco tastes a little different from tea to I a beginner. His next topic is about a woman who was out of sorts—all in, in feet— and he attributed it to tea drinldng, but with him it was entirely guess- work. I knew a grand old lady down in the southern part of Perth County when I was a young lad. It was at a time when there were but few horses and no autos or top bug- gies in that section. So she carried a basket of eggs down to St. Marys, six miles away and six back, twelve miles altogether, and walked every step. When she returned home the lady who was looking after the house in her absence said, "Grandma, you are surely tired." "I am tired," said the old lady, "and Mary, I want you to get me a cup of tea and make it strong enough to carry an iron wedge." After drinking a cup of tea and another to keep it company, the other ladytold her then e to go and lie on the bed awhile and rest. "Indeed I won't," said the old lady, "I feel fine and must help you with the dishes." It reminds me of a fel- low down there who was given to drinking whiskey. Whiskey, I am told, was at that time twenty cents a gallon at the distillery and retailed at the grocery stores fur ten cents a quart. This fellow, who we will call Joe, that was his name, got very drunk at a logging bee one day. The next morning an acquaintance went , ver to see him. "How du you feel, aloe," said the friend. -Fine as 0 fiddle," said Joe, who was sitting with the churn between his knees and was drinking buttermilk. -Yes," said Joe, "the churn is the doctor. 1,0,1 the buttermilk is the medicine." With the lady i referred to the tea- pot was the doctor and the tea was the medicine. \Ce have all been athomes where the good lady of the house or her excellent daughters, would insist 00 us staying for a cup of tea. Would these kind and sociable ladies wane to give us anything which would be likely to do us any harm. Not on your life, J. Thomas Wilhide. I sometimes think it is a pity that these cold -water faddists did not exist at the time of the flood. They could then have swilled water down by the bucket full, microbes, wigglers, ynung frogs fro and all: Speaking about Noah's flood re- minds me of a little story I heard. An Irishman wanted to get into the ark. "Let me into your ark, Noah," he shouted. Noah never let on. "Now be neighborly, Noah," cried the Irishman, "Let me into your ark, I am getting all wet." But Noah didn't heed him. The other then lost his temper and shouted: "Go to blaz- es with your old ark, it's only going to be a shower." Now, Tommy, you preached a little sermon near the close of your letter. It would have been better to have cut that out. The only person who commits sin by drinking tea is the one who has his tea charged and then cheats the merchant by not paying for it. It is left to the free will of these people whether they will drink tea or coffee, or leave it he, but no one has any right to intrude their particular views on others in an of- fensive manner. J. J.
