When I spoke those oily smoothsomes Four long years loomed up ahead, Endless days of pomp and power, Now, alas, they're almost dead. And those planks withing my platform Spots and spots are mighty thin, ■Promise of pay and reform,: Anything to help me win. Sap I was ! ! when my image Now I see within the glass, Not a Leader, just a nodder, One more fool amid the mass. O for days when simple people Puffed our big five cent cigars And our dryest, mustiest speeches, Would evoke their loud Har! Hars: Now they read, they think and ponder On the break that's never come, As the mailed 'd pressed them harder, u' Using them as cattle dumb. Calls the C. C. P. and Stevens-- "Time makes ancient creeds uncouth Try our way and maybe prosper, Couldn't worst yourselves, that's truth." Gosh! goose pimples break out on me As there looms the ballot box; No more smiles and smirks can fool them With their worn out boots and sox. No Saw Off There was a lot of talk last week about Reconstructipnists and Conservatives trying a "saw-off" in some Quebec ridings, but( the first one to spike the rumors was Hon. H. H. Stevens, who has declared his Re-constructionists would place candidates in every riding and stand on their own feet. As an indication he means this, the Party has entered candidates in some ridings to oppose even close friends of Mr. Stevens who are running on the Conservative ticket. Reconstruction Party Has 100 Candidates For being organized only about seven weeks the Stevens Reconstruction Party has certainly made great strides.. Besides whipping into action an entirely new organization, they hpve found time to get about KM) candidates in the field. Now with all the preliminary organization complete officials are pushing everything to name standard bearers in all 245 ridings by Nomination Day on October 7th. The Recent Elections Show Dangerous Trend The results of the recent elections show more than anything else thi' a great many people have got to m,_ state of mind where they are wiling to vote for anything that promii something different. In other "nothing could be worse than we now have." It is an exceedingly dangerous condition for a country to be in. The majority are expecting governments to do something to bring back prosperity whereas the only sure way would be for the people themselves to get to work and do it. Too many live in cities and produce nothing. Too many depend on big business for employment and big business is out of control. The men at the head of most large corporations do not look far enough into the future. Their only idea of success is to crush competition and in trying to do so they have ruined thousands and thrown the whole world out of balance.--Exchange. Wm. Thompson, Cobourg C. C. F. Candidate The Editor The Colborne Express:: Dear Sir: May I, through the courtesy of your paper, inform the people of Northumberland Riding that the People's Party--the Cooperative Commonwealth Federation now have in the field a "standard-bearer," in the person of Mr. William Thompson of Cobourg. It is hardly necessary to explain to intelligent people to-day that the Commonwealth party, as its name implies, stands for the Greatest Good-or-Weal. That its aims are akin to the Ethics of the Greatest Leader the world has ever known, and that it seeks to attain these by purely constitutional methods' that are eminently real and practical. The "Ginger Group," as it is known in the House of Comomns, has an unblemished record, over a period of many years, and its aim today is to select for the coming fight only men who will maintain the present high standard. There are, to-day, over one hundred approved candidates in the field, all of whom are pledged to do their utmost to end the tyranny of the great Moneycracy, and bring the Government of this land under the rule of Mr. Thompson is well and favorably known, and we earnestly plead with all who desire the welfare of our land : to vote for their own--the people's--, party. May I add a personal word of thanks for any courtesy received from i the Editors, and the people in general, of this beautiful country, which I now e for awhile. Yours in the people's cause, Phil H. England, C. C. F. Organizer. YOUNG Doctor Savage was not SO much worried aB&ut his patient as he was about his patient's daughter. And Enid was quite enough to trouble anyone and had succeeded, at her eighteenth year, in driving her lovely mother to the very borders of nervous prostration. And because, beneath her selfish exterior, there was the making of as charming a woman as her mother was, Doctor Savage felt unable to cope adequately with the case. Had he discovered the selfishness before he became a victim to the charm his way would have been the easier. And since selfishness was the one Characteristic that a doctor's wife most certainly must not have--the problem was a vexed one. So vexed, In fact, that the young doctor took his entire trouble to his much older partner and they talked the thing out frankly. "Where's the girl's father that he doesn't take her over his knee and give her a sound spanking?" questioned the older doctor. "Mrs. Walker has been a widow Since the girl was ten. It's a case where, I fancy, the man's mind was needed--if not his slipper. Mrs. Walker is too sensitive, gentle and feminine to guide this modern type of girl--they need a restraining hand these days or there's no telling where environment will lead them." "So you want me to take over this Case, minister to the mother and at the same time make an ultra modern young lady into one that might in time fill the role of a doctor's wife. Is that about it?" i "Exactly!" I "Rather a tall order, my boy." "She's worth it, though." "Who? Mother or daughter?" 1 "Both," said the young doctor. *Both." ! When Doctor Ward made his first appearance in the sick room in place of the young man, Enid pouted quits frankly, but in the eyes of the mother •prang a look of relief as tf unconsciously her troubles had leaped from her own shoulders to those of the big Wndly doctor. And he had not been on the case a week before he took the daughter aside and talked to her like the pro-yerbial Dutch Uncle. "Now look here, young lady," ho said, in his kindly but none the less determined way, "you've got to be a bit more considerate of your mother's views of what is good for your welfare. Do you ever stop to realize that mother has irveti twenty years longer than you have and that she knows volumes more than you do about what is good and what is not good for a child of eighteen?" "Mother's old fashioned," stated Enid, but the doctor's voice interrupted her. ' "But not old fashioned enough to be driven into serious illness by her own daughter--is she? "You're wearing down your own mother's nerve force by continual disobedience to her wishes. She quite naturally sees no virtues developing in you through dancing half the nights, wearing one-half enough clothing and smoking far too many cigarettes--I think most sensible people would agree with her--don't you, my dear?" Then suddenly Enid burst into tears and wept uncontrollably on Doctor Ward's broad shoulder. He smiled softly as he patted her into calmness for he knew that victory was his. "I didn't, didn't realize--I--I--was so s-selfish and silly--I love mamma more than anyone else in the world," and Enid sobbed afresh, but soon the sunlight came into her eyes and her lips smiled. "You must think me very weak and foolish to cry," she finally said and caressed the lapels of his coat. "No, my dear--I only think the real, true woman is beginning to--to sprout." "And you'll help me to grow--more like my mother?" "It won't take long at this rate," laughed Doctor Ward and felt very much elated--so much so, in fact, that when he and his young partner met at dinner he told him all about it. "Do you think so sudden a change will be lasting?" questioned Doctor Savage earnestly but with much hope in his eyes. "If she falls in love with the right man now--at this stage of the game I think she may develop into a semblance of the woman her mother is. If there were many women in this world like Mrs. Walker--we men would be a much finer lot than we are " "Then--" "Exactly. Now that our patient is swiftly throwing off her need of medical attentions I am going to bombard her with such attentions of another order as to make your courtship of Enid seem like a sham affair alto- "When I can catch my breath," laughed Savage, "I will tell you that I think I am a fairly good imitation •f Cupid. There's no doubt that our dilemmas often prove blessings--is there?" The waste lands of Northumberland j and Durham are estimated to be1 15,000 acres. About a million dollars would be required to redeem and fe-, forest them. Perhaps So! Teacher--What is the difference between barbarism and civilization? Pupil--In barbarism the husband is boss, and in civilization it's the wife. GRIFFIS' DRUG STORE -FOR- School Supplies!
