SAMUEL FARMER, I'y Publisher and Proprietor. CCurrent Irficts.. OUR ATTITUDE TOWARDS POLITICS. Generally speaking tive editor of! a countyy newspaper is not in a position to become an authority inj political matters. - 'He "has too, mauy duties to peform to be able! tolrcad both sides of public ques-: tions. It usually happensthat the} political intelligence is written and; polished in Ottawa or Toronto, and the editor is rélieved 'of men- tal <train and responsibility. finds his political garments 'ready to wear." Why then 'should he demand a political suit_just for his particular wearing? This. is the philosophy of many country edi tors In-addition to. this careful provision of political clothes for himself he finds that nearly every body else is dressed in ** ready to wear' suits. If he wears any other clothes, he will be noticeable and he will be misunderstood. It is time this nonsense came to an end, and if an editor knows nothing abcut politics he should at least refrain from publishing alleged facts (?) that agly serve to perpetuate party strifc 'aad preju- dice. h Few people scam to realize the danger to the country of this in- tense party spirit. They, do not realize thdt shrewd politicians sit down and scheme out plans for sccuring immense fortunes from the public resources. The foun- dation of all their schemes is party prejudice. If that were to fail, the voters would destroy much of the opportunity for *'graft."" These men know that they are tolerably safe so long as they shout the party war cry. One of the most hopeful signe the immense chaflge in the political complexion of Oatario. Not because the Conservative par ty has won, but because the people showed that they could not be driven like cattle. This im- provement is most noticeable in the Reform party. We hope the spirit of independence will spread to the other party 2s soon asit can be shown that a change will be beneficial to the Province. He is a poor friend to the Re- form party of Ontario who will not s ere is much need of a progres- sive policy, good organization and strong men wh® know tvhat they waut for the bencfit of the people, and fearlessly and per- sistently work for that end. It is not cynical to say that to the average voter the only differ- ence between the parties is that the other is in and intends to stay there if possible. This is sober truth.

In the practical working of this section, there is'a grievance for 'the man who wishes t6 institute a damage suit against a railway company for a small amount. A case arose. recently in 'which a local farmer was suffering because water out of its regular course and] flocding bic land. The damage is not large, the whole matter could be remedied for about $20, but it would be neccessary fo. go to Owtawa and appéar before the Railway Commission 'before "the plaintiff could obtain redress. Small claims of this nature should be given to the Diviston Court for settlement. The actual result of the present arrangement is that the farmer must build the drain himself or submit to haye his 'land flooded. y ---- AD Seiten Farm Drainage The Department of physics at desires to announce the contin- uance of its previous offer of assis- Ltanceto farmers in. matters per- taining to drainage. For the past three years we have been author- ized by the Minister of Agriculture to go out and assist any farmers in taking the levels of his lands for drainage purposes, in planning the most advantageous systems of drains, and in. calculating the grades and sizes of tile for the different drains. A finished map bearing all the information is isent | "to the owner. This serves two purposes : guide in constructing the drains second, it may be preserved as a record of the exact location of every drain, so that if for any rea: to come to find any drain it could be done accurately at a moment's notice. : He number of applications for asfistance has increased rapidly, so that last year 'we had-man more 'than we could attend to. enable us to meet this increased, demand the Minister of Agricul: ture has this: year. given us a special appropriation whereby we have been enabled to 'double our staff for this work. ; | Anew feature is being added : We have found in the past that oO vicinity of the farm being sur a railway company was turning] the Ontario.
