Hou: Mr. Davis has warned the liberals about a scheme by which the consersatives expect to profit on poll- ing day. it is to poll the conserva tives vies as early asx possible, es pecially the newly registered vote and then by the perverseness of the scruti- néers create sufficient delay to prevent the polling of the full liberal This ix not a brilliant conception. The liberals are not likely to be idle when the conservatives are busy, and they will not be the slower in their gait now that the plan of the enemy has been revealed. The real signifi cance of the talk shout' a vigilance committee ix apparent. The idea is to take possession of the polls as far as possible, and terrorize the liberal voters. It will not suereed. vote, a-- ANOTHER PURIST POSING. How can vou trust the honesty of a while persists man who, denouncing election erovks, in consorting with them ? Take Mayor Beck, of London. for instance. He says he wants to be hon: set, and he has a¢ his private adviser an election agent, a man who, in 1806, as deputy returning officer, did a decided wrong. He refused to count forty liberal votes because he could not identily his owg initials. Those votes were afterwards counted by the judge. r Put that is not all. This deputy, according to the Advertiser, was given money by the conservative party to lave the city before the election trial, and when he came back he was given a place in the municipal system by his political friends. And now, with the help of this man, and acting un der his inspiration, Mr. Beck says, 1 promise, if elected, to try and be hon- est." Mr. Beck, by the way, is one of the men suggested by Dr. Ryan as compe tent for cabinet office. i es-- TORY CAMPAIGN YAR a The Ottawa Journal haw been credit- ed by the local" conservative paper with tke "femark that the school },,oks used by the public school chil- dien, the province over, can be sup- plied free by the government. How ? "By cutting off the unneces. sary officials, and by selling all tim ber limits, instead of giving them away to rich lumbermen with a pull" The Journal did not say that, but the campaign editor of the cpnserva- tive columns: No one really believes that the tory party (if given a chance) contemplates a reduction in the number of employees for the pro vince, and no one believes that any timber limits have been given away hy the liberal government. These are the campaign lies. The Ottawa Journal, by the way, prints one statement of very general interest which the conservative press is not likely to circulate, It is to the ofiect that the liberal government | will be sustained in the election. The size of the majority depends upon the decision of several constituencies in which there is a doubt of the re salt, Kingston is not one of 'them. It is put down as liberal safely. The electors will please make note 'of this. "A SETTLEMENT 18 NEEDED, Mr. Gallagher, at Catarsqui, bad had something to say about the York road debt.

Reader, pay attention to the follow ing telegram ivhich appeared in sever al of the American papers on Satur day: + Oswego, May 23.--The steam barge Adele, loaded with 250 cords of pulp wood for the Battle Island Pulp and Paper company, arrived iu this port'ai noon to-day. "This is the fitst shipment of 25,000 cords to cows' during the summer from Lowy: Zhnada for the Battle Island nt. Tt will be taken from here to lattle Island by canalboats. ** Fifteen barges have been chartered to bring the consignment across the lake." There we have the pulpwood of Quebec going to the American side, to be used in the American mills, in pur suance of a policy which the conserva tives advise. The pulp-wood of Que bec may hold out, as one statistician has put it, for one hundred and it may not. IL is certainly dis- appearing very fast, and is being made tributary to the American industries How is that? 1¢ tion, withotit any restriction, American years, is sold by aue- and the capitalists have been huy- ing it up for export. "1 prefer," said Mr. Ross, in a re cent speech, "to have pulp mills in Ontario than in the United States. I prefer employment for Ontario peo ple in Ontario to employment for On the United States." And so he has provided in all the re- that the pulp-wood of Ontario must be cut by Canadians, to con and tario people in cent legislation with Canadian tools and reduced pulp built the cessions, manned by Canadians, equipped with Canadian machinery. As to the business about five mil lions. of money has been invested in it ao far, and employment has been given to about two thousand men, Is not that the policy which Canadians desire ? Is not that the only patri- otic course which any government can pursue? Does it not merit the endorsement of every loyal Cana dian ? in mills on WHO WAS THE COWARD ? Mr. Ross, when the Manitoba liquor bill was opposed by the privy coun ¢il, agreed that the people should have a similar measure, if they desired it. The plebiscite of previous years did pot reflect present public opinion. Se 'the referendum was advised. That is referred to as a cowandly fexpedient. It was not called this when a conservative premier in Mani tobe adopted it. It would not be cowardly if Mr. Whitney were respon sible for the direction of parliament.
