will soon be rnndc to have tho hydro shop always open for service of the public in business hours drury for leader of the opposition strong pressure is being mode bt the members of the u f o to have premier drury remain in the house as leader of the party so far as premier drury personally is concerned it is believed that ho ts wilhng to remain in politics as leader of the progressive forces in ontario on certain conditions the primary condition is that he be endorsed by a democratic convention which shall show him to have the support of the rank and ale f ho party tho other condition according 6 those who are privy to tho p rentiers views is that he shall bo subjected to no dictation from any quarter outside the hoqse mr drury presence tn the house at the head of the progressives would have a very salutary in fluence his experience and ability would be of value fo the province as a whole the proposition that is favored at present is ta call a convention have him endorsed as leader apd open up a scat for him a final decision in the leadership question is expected to be reached at a meeting of thq party to be held in toronto on july 27 thursday morning july 12 1023 editorial election language do scoundrels and imbeciles rule in canada that is the question any innocent bystander might well ask after reading the preelection speeches and literature that arc poured forth on platforms of various kinds and from the press of alt parties for issued he must question the mental ability and the moral integrity of almost all candidate for parlia mentary halls provincial or federal why cannot men differ decently they do in daily business of regular lands but when the issues are political fhc man with the serpent tongue and a fine mastery of invective and an ability for mud slinging is the hero of tho day opponents forget the real issues of the- campaign in heartless and unchristian hayings of each other true tt is that much of this is for gotten as soon as the battle of tho ballots is over but in not a few cases some cruel scars are left forever canadian baptist othiiuj doing there appears to be an understanding among a number of the wots that with the change of government in ontario there would be a loosening up of tqc hqoor laws of tho province and that is the reason they voted against drury candidates let them not deceive themselves in this matter premier- elect ferguson no more than any other head of a government in ontario dare to trifle with tho prohibition sentiment in this province where there are probably as many prohibitionists among the rank and file of the conservative party as there are in any other political party and who would just as emphatically condemn any attempt to make the sale liquor for beverage purport tiny nur thnn it tfl time jaftkeob mistake hpr the new provincial cabinet premierelect ferguson has been fortunate indeed in having so many men of experience and outstand ing ability ejected from whom to select his cabinet this will rend to ensure stability tp the admin is- tradition in tlus respect he has been especially for tunate in liaving a man of the marked ability and force of character possessed by hon w f nickle k c for the position of attorneygeneral the most important portfolio of the cabinet- it is a striking coincidence that mr ntcklo was offered the position of attorney general in mr druiys government be fore mr raney took office and it is understood that it was then only his disinclination to remove from kingston and the social and professional ties there which stood in the way of his acceptance of the portfolio the call now comes even stronger and he lias been persuaded to accept -mr- nickle is known and esteemed by all parties and is eminently qualified for his new office have faith in canada canadas prosperity is a matter which every can- adlan should have an interest in and a share in ac co whenthe war was on and this country was putting forth every effort at home and overseas to aid the allied cause a great spirit of confidence and faith of willingness to t economize and sacrifice filled- every class of the communityfrom the highest to the lowest as a result canadas honorable war record has set her high among the nations with a puee at the imperial council table and a voice in international affairs canada must and will come with equal honor through the troublous times of postwar adjustment the only question is will all of us help or some of us hinder by pessimism apathy or class jealousy to the canadian farmer this question comes with a peculiar force agricul ture must be the economic balance wheel of this or any nation it is an occupation where nature herself demands energy courage economy and efficiency these sturdy qualities radiate from our farms to industries in other walks of life where so many leaders were couritry born and bred tho farm home and farm life as the source of what has been and is the strongest and truest in our national character is interwoven with the history of canada from its infancy tho settlers on the shores of new bruns wick and nova scotia toiling to dear a patch of forest amd sowing their grain among the stumps jjebert and the pioneers pt new france fighting indians enduring privations wrestling merely a rude living from their small cleadngs but full of faith in the future if not for them then for generations yet to come the men who rescued upper canada from tho wilderness the red river colonists who after two years of complete destruction of their crops sent a party to the mississippi for seed grain for thq next year and wont these men m ado possible the canada of today the farm ore of canada then have a rich history and a noble tradition to live up to upon them canadas progress has always in the fnajn deponded upon them it willalways in tho main depend what then is necessary for the farm era qf today simply the application of thoso qualities we- have referred to energy courage con amy atvijsblcicncy and under presentday conditions tne return is sure and speedy a very high per- cents go of farms owoed by farmers in this counfry j have been acquired and paid for in the farmers own lifetime for the present and future generations f there is- exactly the aamo opportunity true with each generation and perhaps qftener we may have to change our type or crops to meet changing market requirements but surely that is trifling task com pared with that of those who had to oatabiiah them selves in a new country create their farnv their community their marketed and their civilization and dont make any mistake about this either that mr ferguson will be in no hurry to bring on a vote doing away with the present ontario temperance act or even to any appreciable extent modifying its provisions in halton at least if anything or the kind were attempted ho would find both liberals and conservatives lined up against any such pro position the o t a is here to stay
