THE POLITICAL Stunts at the Ad ston Kiwanis Club, held in the Fron- tenaciHotel on Monday was featured by an excellent address by J. Court- land Elliott on "The Political Signi« ficance of the Western Farmers' Movement." There were the usual stunts during the roll call when Kiwanlans Newman, Ponsford, W. J. Keeley, Jr., "Billy" Mills and' "Bil" Moore were fined. The following guests were introduced: R. Chown, Saskatoon; W. G. Cates, House of Commons Press Gallery, Ottawa, and Walter Steacy. Garnet Lockett ask- ed permission to sing a solo and re- vealed a remarkably fine voice. Allen Lemmon, of the firm of Lem- mon & Sons, dealers in hardware, stoves, tinware, heating engineers and plumbers, put on the boost and was introduced by President Frank Hoag, who gave 'a glowing testi- monial to Kiwanian Lemmon who wag well known in business circles, in fraternal organizations and the Board of Education of which he is chairman. Mr, Lemmon's liberality was shown in the very fine prizes provided. The winners were W. J. Keeley, C. C. Folger, Ambrose Shea, James Sowards and H. T. Hughes. In introducing the speaker, Presi- dent Frank said that Mr. Elliott had won honors in the fields of education and referred to the Paris scholarship in Economics recently awarded to him by the government of Saskatclls wan. The speaker was warmly re- ceived by the Kiwanians and in ris- ing Mr. Elliott expressed his warm appreciation of the invitation to be present and to address the club upon a subject that had come under his personal observation during the past two years. Mr. Elliott claimed no specia] com- petence to deal with the complexities of western polities but stated that there were some implications which might not be wholly appreciated in Eastern Canada. The most thrilling moment of his stay in the west had been at the great Grain Growers' convention- in Saskatoon when two thousand prairie dwellers, repre- sentatives of over 80,000 members of the Grain Growers' Association, laid their plans for the day of tri- umph for the masses who toiled and sweated under the western sun. He recalled the feeling that had crept over him that this was a modern re- petition of the day over 700 years ago when the barons of England presented their Magna Charta before the feet of King John snd demanded freedom before vassalage. No longer satisfied with things as they ate, no longer adherents of this orthodox party or that the farmers were seeking to lay down the basic principles that should guide the Can- adian democracy and asking the en- dorsenient of the sovereign people. In combining for mutual aid and pro- tection the western farniers wera bringing about an evolutionary process in our political system. "Today we are on the brink of great developments," said Mr. ElHott. "We. are at the point where radfoal views are asserting themselves and in my humble estimation the West- ern farmers are countenancing an idea, good or bad, which must pro- duce vast changes in our political system. Still unperceived in its fundamental aspects a politica] evolu- tion is surély developing in Canada and, unless cifcumstances are chang- ed befofe the next election, the stand- ard bearers of two great systems of democracy will be leading their forces into action, Representative democracy is today on the defense and the forces of functional or direct democracy are the aggressors <n a political struggle which ultimately must be fought upon the battle- ground of the ballot boxes." Continuing Mr. Elliott remarked that the manifestations of these new tendencies were merely a part of a world-wide trend towards the fuller realization of economic democracy. The 19th century hdd seen the forces of political democracy achieve their purposes in the granting of the fran- chise to the people; the 20th century must be the stamping ground for the fulfilment of economic democracy ind the Western fapmers are in the | T TEN YEARS AGO.

GondeAn. luterestiog Hem- med in by the econemic restrictions of" their position, tariff levies, high freight rates, losses on the eelling prices of their produce, variable climate, unbearahle interest rates on borrowed money and so forth, the farmers had rapidly come to the opinion that representative political democracy is more impressive as a term than as a fact and that the mere counting of noses at election time would not in reality satisfy the long- ings and aspirations of the great mass of men and women who are to- day actively seeking the improve- ment of their material surroundings and this latter desire was at the basis of the farmers' movement. In Canada the conflict is between those who resist change in our sys- tem of political representation and those who are seeking to accelerate its. development, perhaps uncon- | sciously, into a more modern system | attuned to the economic conditions of modern life. Functional govern- | ment, that is representation based upon occupation rather than upon geographical locality, is merely the next step in political development, and it 'would follow naturflly from. the present system which, though punction after a term in office in re- presenting merely itself or the most influential organized class of citizens who dominate the lobbies. Under repressive economic and politica] conditions therefore the farmers had united with the conse- quence that membership in a grain growers' local might give a greater sense of security to an individual, helpless beyond the phantom power of the ballot, than the most capable general representative in parliament who wag not a grain grower. The outstanding political development of the day was the formation of groups and {t was fron~these groups aris. ing out of economic conditions that representatives would be chosen. The voter would then-have an obli- gation not only to the state but also to his group. This development was presaged by the agrarian movement and it had potentialities of good or evil. "Born of the economic conditions under which the Western farmer lives," said Mr. Elliott, "cradled in the in- dignation of those who saw little im- provement achieved under the sys- tem of representative government in vogue the political organization of (BS West is today approaching a sturdy manhood when the path of future progress must be chosen." On the one hand the movement might degenerate into mere selfish- ness expressing the class-conscious desires of the agrarian group in the West, a functional organization bulit upon the shifting sands of greed and gluttony, On the other hand it might become a truly progressive party embracing those who are seek- ing a fuller expression of Liberal principles than has been promised by the orthodox parties. No one could predict the certain lines of pro- grees. Certainly it was here to stay and as such it must .be understood. In Canada, the speaker thought, there wag nore to unite us than there was to divide us. Organization for the promotion pf common welfare waa agreed to be a good thing but every measure and purpose should be justi- fied from the standpoint of general welfare and not petty interests and base desires, Looking at the move- ment from this point of view the speaker did not believe thai the farmers' movement was necessarily incompatible with good govern- meng. If it meant merely the division of the" house against it= self, if it mieant the division 'of so- ciety into petty organizations for the purpose of fighting each- other fit would be condemned and justly so. However, Mr. Elliott did not think" the farmers' party could be claimed yet as-a selfish organization and he was of the opinion that the varjous groups and classes in the country had interests so much in.common that the plea of unity would always exercise a powerful influence, WICE TOLD TALES | _ News of Kingston ~~ professor in mathe- University.
