WALDRON WHO'LL BE PREMIER ? HENDRIE AND BECK DO NOT PULL TOGETHER, And Adam is Therefore Out of the Running -- Will the Tories Cal: a Party Caucus ? Toronto, Oct. 1.--Udnseryative pa- pers keep disputing as to who should succeed Sir James Whitney, and con- servative members Keep on urging that a party caucus should be held. It is impossible to say in advance whether or not their clamor will be listened ta by the powers-that-be, but at pres- ent ic looks as if the choicé of prime minister, whoever he may be, is to be madesby a small group. 'The Toronto World chims that this group is so tiny as to be confined almost entirdy to one dictator, Hon. Frank Uoch- rane. Unless a caucus is called the selection cannot be called a demo- cratic one. In a situation which is obviously confused, there are one or two tacts tolerably clear. 'lhe appointment of Col. Hendrie as governor means that Sir Adam Beck will not likely be the prime ministér. 'These two men have never pulled together well on the Hy- dro board. Lhey are not congenial spirits. It is not probable, therefore, that Hendrie will call upon Beck as leader of the government, * If Hon. W. J: Hanna does not be- come prime minister, itis a public ae- knowledgement that his record of the last two or three years has put him out of the running. Previous to that time no one would seriously have sug- gested anyone else, He was acknow- ledged to be the strong man. lhe Proudfoot and Snider aftairs, how- ever, have changed .l this. i ae comp lage shake-up and re organ- 'zation of th& cabinet was predicted by the liberals in the spring and giv- en as one reason for their protest against a premature election. The op- position said that the re-organization shoulu precede, not tollow an election, in order that the puhlic should have an opportunity to seeing the new line- up before voling for it. As things are to-day, the province for the next few years 1s to be governed by a cab- inet on which the public had no chance to pass judgment For party purposes the government then and now has sacrificed the essential democratic rights of the people.

Wednesday afternoon while the rush of trafic was on to and from the fair grounds, a nwnber of drivers of ve: hicles and automobiles drove along the street in a most reckless manner, and the fact that no serious accidents occurred was nothing more than mir- aculous.

J. Duncan Thompson, son of the J. D. Thompson, who was for years associated with the Ontario Powder company, of the city, and for the last two years with Sir Don- id Mann, of the Olympic Powder company, of Deseronto has made a very valuable discovery in a new high explosive. On Tuesday after- noon he was experimenting on the big cut in Barriefield hill that is be- ing taken dut by Fallon Brothers He demonstrated the virtues of his discovery in several holes and broke to pieces a number of huge bowl ders. It is claimed for this ex- plosive that it contains no nitro- glycerine, is impervious to water, re quires no thawing and is free from noxious fumes, the cause of what is known as a dynamite headache. It is very powerful but can only be ex- ploded by the correct way with a detonator. Several local men are anxious to put up the capital and erect a plant here for its manufacture, but it is understood that Mr. Thompson has already given options to a group of men. "If possible the plant will be erected near the city," sald Mr. Thompson to a Whig representative but he would give no information as to when the manufacture of it be- gin.

MACKENZIE KING) HAS BEEN CHOSEN BY ROCKE- FELLER FOUNDATION To Direct an Investigation Into the Great Problem of Industrial Rela- tions -- Great Trivfite to Canada. liew York, Oct. 1.--*For the well being of mankind throughout the world," as they characterized it, the trustees of the gRockefeller founda- ton; to-day announced the inaugur- ation of an investigation into the problem of industrial relations, and the appointment of W. L. Mackenzie King, former minister of labor for Cahada, as its director. In announcing the the foundation says: +. "In facing the investigation, problem, the | Rockefeller. loundation is deliberate- ily attempting to grapple with what it believes to be the most complicated and at the same time the most ur- gent question of modern times; and it is tor this reason that the investi gation has been started. The founds tion is not baffled by the knowledge that the task has seemed hitherto well nigh hopeless, and that the lit- erature on the subject is so vast as to be overwhelming. There may be reasous tor patient approach on the subject, but no reason tor inaction. it is hoped that an investigation started on the scale of which the foundation is capable, and impartial ly pursued, will gradually win for it felr the co-operation, not alone of eufployers and working men of in-t dustrial organizations, of individuals and institutions interested in social relorm, but also of universities and governments through out the world. "In going into another country and selecting as the person to have direction of this most important work, one whose public. services have gained for him an outstanding po- silion as a leading authority on in- dustrial problems, the trustees have snown their desire, not only to free tae toundation irom any suspicion OI interest or prejudice in, the inves- tigation of the most controversal of all problems, but also their readi- to enlist the services of * 'the best men available, no matter where they are to be found. It is no small guarantee of the spirit in which the work of this investigation is to be carried on that Mr. King, after years of public service in handling labor problems, has, by his known impar- tiality and disinterested purpose, re- tained the good will, confidence and respect of employers and representa- tives of labor alike." ness GRAND OPERA HOUSE.
