The farmers , are open to the suspi- cion, if not tae charge, of not being elannish politically, and not co-oper- ating in their own interest. It is re- [called that twice Ontario's commis- sioner of agriculture, Hon. John" "Pry- den, suffered defeat in an 'agricultural constituency, and during a time when be had demonstrated most clearly his usefulness to the province. In the last local election Hon. Mr. Monteith, the present commissioner of agriculture in the. Whitney govern- ment, lost his election when all around him and over most of the province his party was scoring a success. In the Saskatchewan electich, only a few days ago, Hon. Mr. Motherwell went down to defeat, and at the hands of a private banker, who would not be ex- pected to appeal very successfully to the rural vote. All this is remarkable when rt is rémembered that the farmers are the political power in the land, and that they have really the making and un- making of governments. But once in Ontario did they make any pretence of showing the power they possessed. That was in connection with the pat- ron movement, when they had a large representation in the assembly, their own leader, and an experience that should have whetted their appetite tor larger things.

The farmers dropped it, and In do- ing so fel back into the attitude of placemen, without the ambition to as- sert themselves. The Dryden-Monteith- Motherwell incidents are a reproach to the farmers, and sooner or later they will atone for the same by becoming an active and dominating force in the land. > HAS" REACHED FHE LIMIT.

We have learned to know that the adage "Laugh and grow fat" js just as untrue as the early-to-bed and early-to- rise fib. IL does not usually make a man healthy, wealthy and wise, at least not in our day. And so we are beginning to realize that fat it a very dangerous disease and not a state of giggling happiness. Many fat people haw-haw in publk, and wear their thumbs in their vest arm-pits just as a safety valve to their misery, and to make us believe that their smiles are genuine. Some are really jolly, but not because they are fat. To most of the jolly ones as well as to the others, every coming and going of their breath is a puff of misery, apd their smiles are sadder than the tears lof chitdhood. Most fat people will not it, but deep down jin their know this is true. They know that smiles avail not, and that the same heart which tries to be happy, that same moment is being chitched by death- fat, slowly but surely, to he finally smothered and made silent forever.
