W. JAMES, Editor With Neither Gloom Nor * Gloating * iI eitor always bas viewed the day after an election with amusement and good hunior; in particular. one element of rild amusement bas neyer yet failed us - that in when smre ."defeated party, candidate or newspaper gives _out with the oid bromide- "The people have i soken and we accept their verdict." Iust what would happen if the defeated one shouid not accept their verdict, this editor neyer h as been able quite ta figure out. î What it ail amounts ta is just this: When é' you're licked, you're licked - and that's that. :So long as you fought cleanly, hit hard but Cabove the belt, and your conscience inserene, a licking daesn't matter. It in ail a part of Sdernocracy - yes, a part of 1f e. That's the way we feel about the election Sjust past. both nationally and locafly. True, :nationally, it stili leaves smre loose ends ta be tied up, some things stili unanswered, smre dif- ferences not yet bridged, sorne things lef t for Idebate. That's what the editor had in mind when ha wrote, a couple of weeks before the vote, that "ai er the election the sun will still shine, the Searth turn on its axis, and men oppose each other; and further we shal tili have ta wark for a living, give service ta aur neighbours, and pay taxes." Speaking of the local result aboya, we could let ourselves go ovarboard with regret; i we could g1ve ourselves aver ta gloorn. But, -we prefer ta do neithar. Remembar Kipling's "If." Among the thingu you do ta "be a man, rny son" is ta ha able ta "meet with triumph and disaster and treat those two imposters just the arnie." Sa the editor will flot eat crow. When John M. James was nominated in the SLibaral interast we questioned the motives ai the machine Liberals who engineered bis nom- ! nation. For that matter we still do, not without 1reason and flot without evidence. But We should lika ta recail for aur readers what we said at that time in an editorial entitled "It Imn't lust *a Family Malter." These were aur words: "John James in a worthy young citizen of this community and ai the country. He hans erved his country' well !ù the recent war, as did hlm cousin, my son . John James bas rendered canspicuaus public service ta which the newly finished skating arena stands as a lasting monument . * amrnfot apposing hlm, for this is not a family matter, but I amn opposirig the issues of bis party's policy . . . In any other circuni- stances, ail other things being equal, this * nawspaper's editorial support would go solidly ta John James. He rnay ha elected anyway. If ha is, more power ta hlm . "I To Iis young man who is elected we ra- peat quite sincerely: "More power ta you" and add aur Con- i gratulations! * To the other candidates, aur compliments ou. the race they ran, the cleaness of their fight. The-e is no sting lef t. no i11 will. Nor doas the edito.. entertain any. Just as wa said about national resuits, locaily there still ara Borne loase ends ta ha tied up, as aur readars na doubt appraciata. But the editor stili doas flot regard partnership difierencas as matarial for publiecearae or Faith of Our Fathers WVhen the Fathers af Confedoraîlon mat an Prince Edward Island eighty-two years ago, thay pioneered the hirth ai a nation. Fallowing a protracted atruggle, aitan tinged with biltenness, they were able la bring lagether the larritonies and factions whicb now form lbe Dominion of Canada. The unity af Canada had long occupiad themr mindm and shaped their activities. At a confern- enca in Engiand the previaus yean, the narna "Dominion ai Canada" appliad la the uniting provinces was adopted. Credit bas bean given la Sir Leonard Tilley ai New Brunswick. A sen- tence fnom the Psaims inspired hlm: "Ho shahl have dominion i nom sea ta sea and f nom tbe river unta the ends ai the eanth." The founders nat oniy founded a nation, -but gave it an idoology big enougb ta bold il togethen. These Faîbers, under whose national archi- tecture we bava lived, are entiled la smre kind ,of report ai stewardship. How bas Ibis vision heen rnaintained, or baw has thein idaaaifGadsa dominion bean taken up and faiiowed thraugh? Was il not the intention af aur founding statesman that God's baw sbauld nule the activ- Itias ai Ibis ]and? That absolute standards should become the measura af aur personai eveny day living and aur national policy? Yaî, smre wili dora tc tel us today that "th. myth of God must ha remaved frani lb. minds of mon." Forgive us, yau Fathers of aur nation, W. con write words lika these and admit thein consequences aniy because we intend bo assume responsibility aifrnaking reailb.hevision of nationhood you gave us.

Fleming Retires as Bishop of the Arctic As a summer resident aI Bowmanville Deurn for rnany years and a former Hanarary Member of aur local Rotary Club we join with the Orillia Packat and Times in paying the following tri- buta ta Rev.

Can't Be Neutral in Politics Claims Past Moderator An attitude ai impartialiîy by the church toward politics was termad ridiculous hy Very Rav. Peter Bryce in a sermon on Sunday aI Met- ropolitan United Cburch, Toronto. Dr. Bryca is a past moderalor ai the United Cburch ai Canada. "By politics, I mean the aignis ai goverfi. ment," ha qualified. "I feal ashamad when I think that years aga, the cburcb sbawad cam- piacancy aven slavery and child lahar. "In the past '50 yearm there bas been a nemarkable advance in social conditions, due, in a considerabla degrea, ta the church express- ing ilsaif on the worîh ai human 11e." Adopting the biblical taxI: "Render unIe Caesar the things that are Caesar's," Dr. Bryce quoted the lata Archbishop Temple, who maid: "It is the duty and pivilege ai the church ta express itsaîf ta gavernment on questions ai moral import and an social questions relaîing ta the lives ai the people." Dr. Bryce said that ha bad iived al his lii e in the British Empire, and "wiîh the parlia- ment we bave, wa hava made great advances in social conditions without navolution." "Thora bas bean a tendency in recent years towand a f ew men baving tao great power," ha pointed out. "This muet ha avaided." "If we can show in Cbristianity, Ibat we have a great way afIl11e, a 111e ai fneadam, we will influence Irernendously those countnies saarching for a way of lufe." There would ho fia communism today, ac- carding ta Dr. Bryce, if the Russian church bcd not been corrupt in ils leadership. Unpleasant Disguise Dry weatber con play havoc with farni pro- duction, or witb the financial welfare ai Ibm individual farrn family, but tboughtful farmers do nat accept too literaiiy staternents about drought lasses. Until the former himmaîf la well enougb arganized ta linilI bis production, or until the dominion or provincial gavernments adopt a positive policy af production contrai, or until the world is so organized that ahundant production will not reduce net retunna ta lb. praducers, the Ontario farmer la dependant an heaven and nature 10 intervene and limnit pro- duction.

Wben droughî bits Austraia, Aw, Quit Scaring Them! 1 or Argentina, or New Zealand, Canadian farmers may gel a betar prica for their wbeat or their heef or their cheese. If there were fia droughts the worid would bave plenty ai food, and Ontario farmers wouid ha povarty-stricken - unless tbey couid organize capital and labor ta praduce without restriction too, and ta exchanga an abundance ai industrial goods for an abundanca ai food. Until that reorganizatian ai Canadian society and world society, takes place. Ontario farmers can ha grataful ta the Giver of rains and the Maker ai droughts for assistance in conîroiling fanm production in Ontario and abroad.

W. James, Editor. Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, Ont. Dear Mr. James: It seems that whenever 1 pick up anything ta read, or on rare occasions wben 1 turn on the radio, I hear or read about Gea. W. James. These recent contacts include a story in Maclean's about the elec.. tion goings on in Durham, and in the inancial Post I have read abou weekiy newspapers and how ta ha happy in retirement. On the radia I heard about the good front page of the Canadian States- man. 1 could not let ail this go by without sending yau greetings and congratulations. Nevertheless, I amrn ot so sure the "Wood Senate' is the recipe for happy retirement. They have set the age limit tao high. It re- minds me of that legendary: "What you may caîl him" wha asked the gods for immortality and tbey granted At but the guy neglected ta ask for immortal1 youth and ha lived ta regret it. However, I amrnont writing this latter ta argue any points with you but merely ta say that I have enjoyed aIl these remote contacts. I congratulate you and1 I sincereiy hope you will keep it Up.
